If a dental bridge does not fit correct after being glued and filed down several times would the dentist remake it. would it cause problems to abutting teeth when drooling off. could they fracture

A : A bridge can be removed by sectioning it and removing it without damaging the abutments. I cannot tell if your bridge does not fit correctly since i cannot examine you. Regarding a remake, that answer falls between you and your dentist.

This : This is a very sad question, because a dentist tries so hard to get a bridge to fit properly, and look correct before cementing. If something goes wrong at the cementation stage it can ruin the whole process, and unfortunately the work will have to be cut off and started again. Performed correctly the removal of the bridge should not damage the abutments, but the bridgework does have to be cut off. You are at great risk trying to tap the bridge off. However, that being said, it the dentist knows that the teeth (abutments) are shaped at a reasonable angle, tapping the bridge off carefully ( i recommend the morrita pneumatic back hammer), it is sometime possible to remove clean and re-seat the bridge. Good luck. Dr neil mcleod dds dentistry that lasts - quality that counts.

The : The real question is what is wrong with the bridge? Hy odes it not fit correctly, or does it. A bridge can be removed without damaging tha abutments, but leaving it in place and fitting correctly is certainly best.

Yes: If the dentist is honorable and you have had significant problems with the fit the dentist should offer to redo it. If the bridge is taken off carefully it will not damage the underlying teeth. If it is not, then some of the supporting teeth could be damage requiring additional treatment.

Discuss with dentist: Sounds like you feel there is a problem with the bridge that was made for you. Discuss your concerns with your dentist. If you still are not happy, see another dentist for a second opinion.

Yes: Unfortunately, sometimes these bridges have to be remade. The dentist needs to take care of you as best he/she can.

Possibly remade: Before a bridge is placed, it should be checked for fit and bite. If adjustments need to be made, they should bevery littel. If agressive adjustments are made it should probably be redone.

Bridges. : Bridge restorations with high occlusion (bite) can certainly create problems. Part of the porcelain can chip off. Teeth can become sensitive. Teeth mobility and even bone loss can happen. I recommend you to speak to he/she about your concerns and see if it is still adjustable. If not, I am sure you will get to an agreement that with favor everyone.
