has anyone got a dental bridge?

my 18 year old daughter has had problems with one tooth for several years, its the first double tooth. shes had a root canal for a while now but keeps getting an infection in it. dentist said last time that if it happens again then he wants to take the root out and make a bridge for. anyone know what this will involve. she s very dental phobic and hates having anything done . thanks for your help.
thanks for your answers they are all good. just to clarify she has had a root canal done on this tooth, the crown has fallen out several times and she is now getting constant infections in the root that is left which is why he wants to remove the root and do a bridge. thanks for your answers i now understand what it is and sounds like its a good idea.

Usually, a bridge involves filing down the teeth either side of the gap once the infected tooth has been removed,this is done about 3-6 months after the extraction to allow the gum to settle. The bridge is made up of 2 crowns with a false porcelain crown in the middle. The crowns are cemented on and the bridge should last for years as long as your daughter keeps the bridge,(and the rest of her mouth),clean and healthy. Your daughter has had root canal done so Im sure she will cope with a bridge prep,it’s unfortunate that the root treatment has failed, a bridge is a good replacement for a missing tooth. At the appointment,the Dentist will do some drilling to file the teeth down and take impressions,depending on the surgery, a further appointment a couple of weeks later will be needed to fit the bridge. It will be worth it and I wish your daughter luck.

Dental bridge during implant osseointegration?

admin — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:38:33 +0000

During the time in which the posts for my implants have to fuse with the bone, I will have a dental bridge. Will the posts be visible to other people?

The implants are usually flush with the gums while they are healing. Small healing caps are placed over the implants to keep the gum from growing over them but they are about even with the gum and do not stick up. Good luck with your new teeth.

Should I remove dental bridge and replace with partial?

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:38:01 +0000

I fully regret having a bridge put in. I lost 1 tooth and chose the bridge after being coerced by the dentist. Food gets caught up in the bridge, I use the bridge floss thread. One side of the bridge has been loose since the first month. The dentist said they can’t fix that until it just falls off. YUCK! The tooth will rot and then more expense is inevidable. I am very upset. I want the gums and teeth clean.

Should I cut it off and go for partial? It’s already messed up the 2 good teeth beside the lost one, just to prepare for the bridge.

It shouldn’t have become loose after 1 month. A well-done bridge will last almost indefinitely if cared for properly.
Is it a full-crown bridge, or does it have metal wings (Marylands design)?
A loose bridge will build up more plaque and create more decay, and ultimately a bigger repair problem. The dentist is being potentially negligent if he doesn’t accept this responsibility after 1 month’s use. Unfortunately, it sounds like he doesn’t want to bear the cost of a remake. He shouldn’t wait for it to fall off. Even if it does fall off, it obviously doesn’t fit well, so it shouldn’t just be recemented. The reason for the looseness needs to be identified and fixed before a NEW bridge is constructed.
Perhaps you should get a 2nd opinion first. Then consider writing to the dentist with your concerns, and setting up a meeting to disuss your problem. It is probably your best chance of getting things fixed or your money back. Start keeping a written record of these events.

Can a chipped dental bridge be repaired?

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:36:31 +0000

My porcelain to metal bridge chipped yesterday. The bridge is still intact but a small piece of porcelain fell off and left a jagged edge near the inside of my cheek. I don’t have the money to get a new bridge right now. Can it be "patched" with some sort of composite? P.S. The bridge is about 10 years old.

yes,but maybe not cost effective…

has anyone ever had a dental bridge removed after having on for years? If so give the details?

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 17:28:23 +0000

I possibly may have to replace it. It may be causing gum irritation. I am worried about losing a tooth or all of them.

Each crown that the bridge is cemented on with, will have a groove drilled into it and the cement bond broken and the bridge should pop off. It usually is a very simple procedure to remove an old bridge. Good luck with the new one.
