You sound like an amazing dentist have had many rough rides with my bridge am down in Florida, and wish I were there to go see you. I wish teletherapy were an option!
I’ve been recommended a dental bridge for my right three front teeth, there crooked yet healthy, dentist wants to remove middle one in back of others. I’m worried that even tho they’re crooked, filing down healthy teeth may not be the best bet in the long run. What’s chance of damage later on?
Trying to decide between the implant and a bridge. My husband brought up a very good point about me being an over the top flosser and it would require more upkeep. I just didn't want to spend the money on an implant because they're freaking expensive. I also don't feel comfortable about a lot of foreign objects being embedded in my gums....hence the graft material and the screw material. So much to think about just for a tooth. My head hurts. LOL
I regret not taking better care of my teeth when i was younger i still have mostly all of them but just having issues with some of them breaking & getting infected etc.
Im a war vet rated 100 but non service connected. No dental. My bridge failed. Used ionomer cement keeps failing. I need a better solution. Dentists wont tell you baking soda saves teeth cures infections.
Dr.Langston, thx. My bottom front teeth have been destroyed by radiation therapy for cancer. Cancer is gone but now I need a bridge to replace the 6 small teeth on the bottom. My question: I want a gold bridge bc I have 6 gold crowns and they are much more durable than porcelain. My dentist wants to use a porcelain bridge. I’m 66 and my bottom teeth don’t show when I smile. I think gold is the best choice.Should I insist on gold ?
I can tell you they did my mother wrong. It was a private dental practice who were wonderful. Due to age and injury the three dentists that own the practice left and sold it to... Monsters... They didn't change their name and they didn't advertise that someone else owned The dental business. We brought my mother back who is in her '80s with mouth pain and they did not help her. They referred her someplace 2 to 3 hours away... My mom was too frail to transport 2 to 3 hours away. I took her to specialists in the area who would not touch her because of her medical conditions. What happened to all the nice dentists... What happened to caring about people? What happened to making someone comfortable. My mother spent the last year in her half of her life missing teeth because she got bridges. I'm going to say that again because she got bridges... And the teeth the fake prosthesis that they made my mom cuz she's allergic to metals did not attach because the anchor teeth were not there Because they were bridges... With a toothpick tooth (right, I don't call that a tooth). I said that when I was 18 to a dentist and he got mad at me.
Hello doctor.. Are bridges a good option for a 60 year old patient with mostly all molars and premolars missing in whom implants are not possible due to less bone.
Hey there, this is a great question. Unfortunately I can't give you a solid answer without examining your mouth. If you'd like to schedule a consultation, please visit drbrettlangston.com
I am missing one tooth and I’m not to sure which dental care I should get. Implant or the bridge. First, I’m totally nervous about the implant and having metal in my mouth lol. The wait too, it’s pretty long for the healing. I’m a diabetic as well so that’s another reason why I am nervous about the surgery. My body takes longer than usual to heal. So I was aiming towards the dental bridge. I just want something to last for many years and no infection.
Go for a bridge. I just replaced mine after 15 years. And because you are a diabetic, an implant is less likely to heal, espcially if your diabetes is not well controlled.
My mom has a bridge on her front tooth cause her baby tooth is still stuck. Now she has bone loss but I still think her bridge looks cool. I have a 12+ year old RCT with a zirconia crown and my new dentist said it’s good. Roots are nice and sealed done by an endo. I’m scared, I don’t want an implant lol.
Hey , I saw that RCT cause systemic illness like autoimmune disease, kidney problem etc Have you experienced any change in your body. I'm about to get RCT and a bit scared
@@KiristinaBk get your root canal done by an endodontist. Mine is over 10 years old and there are no issues. The roots are sealed and infection. I replaced the crown 2 years ago to a zirconia crown. It’s still doing great. My new dentist said that if it hasn’t given me issues in this much time it probably will last a lifetime. Just floss it and brush regularly.
@KiristinaBk I developed thyroid issues and suffered horribly after covid. The moment I removed my root canals, my panic attacks and breathing issues disappeared. I developed numbness of arms and they are gone too. So hope you Make an informed decision before doing a root canal.
Aside from caries, implant crowns can have as many esthetic issues, fractures as bridges. And if adjacent teeth also have dental problems, from cavities to hypereruption, - bridges fix those problems generally at no extra cost, while implants charge extra.
2 questions 1) What's the best type of bridge for center front teeth for looks and feel? 2) What's the best material to use for dental bridge for looks and feel overall. A) Emax B) Zirconia C) Combined material D) Vivadent E) Porcelain F) Other?
I caped my teeth as it was broken half and still regreeting as i have unhealthy teeths for now i suffer from freuqent pain after that infection sometime 😂
I did my front teeth for almost 15 yrs, and it's still good. I haven't changed it, my dentist told me it's still look very good but times go by we need to redo it anyway. 😊 and l am 55.

If one of those teeth goes, like my upper and lower bridge, you lose 3 teeth at once. Get the implant.
I’m getting an implant. I don’t want to sacrifice 3 healthy teeth to fix 1. Doesn’t make sense. It’s so expensive though 😢
I regret not taking better care of my teeth when i was younger i still have mostly all of them but just having issues with some of them breaking & getting infected etc.
75% success at the 15-20 year mark isn't bad. Good hygiene and water pik is essential.

Can you treat a gum abscess under a fixed bridge without surgical intervention?
Thank you Doc, this is very informative
I had anemia, and one of the things people do when they have this disease is eat ice. Horrible for the teeth. That's why I had to get a bridge.
Why cant you treat the natural teath with porcelain overlay before you put the put on the bridge ....

Why use porcelain when you can use zirconium which I hear is much stronger?
The problem with the bridge is that what if the supporting tooth breaks beyond repair.
Bridge gets extended to the next tooth. So instead of a 3 tooth bridge (just example) you have a 4 tooth bridge.
