    Default Pressure to surrounding teeth

    I had a bridge placed on my dental implants yesterday. It covers 13 and 14 on the upper left. Initially, a tooth was extracted next to another empty space in December of 2006. So I have been missing 2 teeth on the upper left for 1 year and 2 months.
    The adjacent teeth, all the way to the canines are now under major pressure and hurt. Is that normal? Could the crown (bridge) be too large?

    Its normal to have some discomfort but this should be quite minimal and for a short time only.

    I would highly recommend you return to your dentist so that they may evaluate the situation and advise you accordingly

    Hope this helps
