- Dental bridge breakage: The first porcelain bridge I got (lower back molars with 1 middle missing tooth) did not fit my mouth at all. It was too high. The dentist ground down an upper rear molar attempting to make it fit. It didn't. Next she tried another porcelain bridge which broke after 2 weeks while eating soft food. Then, she made another porcelain bridge that broke in the same place as the previous one after another 2 weeks of wear. Now, the dentist wants to try a noble metal/porcelain combination. She said she has never had bridges break like this before. My right jaw is a little higher than the right. The bridge is on the right side. Is this common?

- Tooth repair that is attached to bridge: I have a bridge and the tooth that the bridge is attached to has a small hole because the dentist stuck his metal pick in it while he was checking my teeth and he pushed too hard and it created the hole. Now he wants to fill it with resin to repair it. He said if I don't repair it I could loose my whole bridge (7 teeth) and will need a new bridge. Is the repair with resin standard practice? It is now metal. ... Visitor from VA (answer)
- Loose bridge: I have a bridge with 4 teeth on it and is very loose. I also have 4 crowns that have come off. I do not have any mouth pain, I think they were not mounted properly and just need to be glued - mounted back on. I think the dentist that installed them was not very knowledgable, however, every dentist I have consulted wants to do the bridge over. It just needs to be mounted back on. ...

- Decay involving bridge: I've had a permanent bridge involving both eye teeth and the four front upper teeth in between for 25+ years without any problems til now. This bridge was never permanently cemented, but has always been very solid and has allowed me to bite on anything I want. It also looks great. Last week my dentist informed me there is a small decay where the bridge and my gumline meet (on one eye tooth). She says she can repair it without having to get that bridge off. Is this possible? If not, will I have to redo the bridge, which would be extremely expensive? I am 70 years old. ... Visitor from MN (answer)
- I had a rather large upper bridge put in. I have had nothing but trouble for 7 months now. Right off I don't think the front crown is fitting correctly on my tooth. I still can not eat on that side. If I put pressure on that crown I feel the ache, like a loose tooth ache. My bite was off so we have been working on that. Is it all together possible that the front crown did not fit properly on the tooth? Or is the bridge just to heavy (2 crowns with 2 teeth in between). The front crown is on my first frontal molar. Can this be refitted? ... Visitor from NY (answer)
- Bucked teeth bridge: I got a bridge done in the front of my mouth and my dentist to me seems like she didn't properly place in an upward position so it looks like I have bucked teeth. My teeth look bigger than my regular teeth. My question is can they be removed or even shaved down? ... Visitor from GA (answer)
- Removable bridge with implant: I am going to a Dental School for a new removable bridge to replace 2 year-old badly made bridge. School says they must grind adjacent teeth for good fit, where removable bridge needs to be anchored. I have been advised this could result in losing one tooth (which is already slightly loose) and replacing a crown on the other. Must I have those teeth compromised by this grinding process? Can't they fit the new bridge with the impressions they'll make? I have just gone through an implant that will be used to anchor the removable bridge. The next step is impressions. I dread their warnings of another implant and crown. ... Visitor from AZ (answer)
