Question:
Temporary Bridge: I had a temporary bridge fitted last year with 3 top teeth to fill my missing teeth. I am ready to move onto the next stage now and have investigated permanent impants, but also heard that a permanent bridge might be better.
The current temporary bridge is also pushing 2 of my very straight teeth out of shape. I have 2 teeth missing in the same place on each side and one further back. I had 2 children very close together and my teeth didn't ssem to cope with it. ...Visitor from NJ
Answer:
There are typically options between fixed (cemented) bridges, removable bridges (partial dentures) and implants. Sometimes we utilize combinations of these depending upon the circumstances.
We really couldn't say that one is better than the other; it would depend upon each individual situation.
Certainly it's a big plus to have options. I would seek opinions from a quality restorative dentist (a general dentist or prosthodontist) with whom you feel comfortable.
