Question:
I currently have an upper bridge with four points of attachments, three of which are unglued.
One point no longer stable and needing removal.
Can this bridge be removed an reglued? ... Visitor from FL
Answer:
Theoretically, yes.
What needs to be determined first, however, is the cause of failure.
If the bridge is old, worn out, out of occlusion or has leakage around the anchor teeth... then the likelihood of saving it is probably close to nil.
If the anchor teeth themselves have failed... then the treatment scenario becomes much more complex.
Finding a dentist willing to save such a prosthetic would be difficult.
