Bridge Ask The Dentist Corinne Scalzitti

Question:
I had a bridge put on last week along with 4 porcelain crowns for the 4 top teeth in front but the main problem is the bridge which is next to these front teeth.

There is a gap where the tooth is not touching the gum line and therefore an open gap which concerns me.

Also my 4 crowns seems to have a grey line or shadow on the bottom of the teeth! The two front teeth seem to be extra long! These are only a week old and I haven'r shared these concerns with my dentist yet but plan to tommorrow.

I had to have a tooth where the bridge is surgically extracted and there seems to be some bone loss because at the gum line the area sinks in. I am very worried about this. ... Visitor from AR

Answer:
I think that you need to have a long talk with your dentist. If you are unhappy now, time will not make things better.

It sounds like some of the work will need to be redone. Write down your concerns so you don't forget anything if you are nervous.

You are paying, so you have the right to expect good results.
