Q. Someone mentioned to me the maryland bridge or something along those lines as an alternative to implants? I don’t really know what this is, if you could give me some info?
A. A Maryland bridge is a bridge that is bonded to the adjacent teeth instead of reducing the adjacent teeth. Think of a tooth with wings on each side. These wings are bonded to the adjacent teeth. The advantage is that it is minimally invasive to the adjacent teeth. The disadvantages are that they are not as predictable long term and should only be used to replace a missing front tooth. Also, depending on the skill of the dentist and the materials used the esthetic outcome may be compromised.

Q. My dentist has said that I will be able to get immiediate dentures after I get my wholte top teeth removed. This was because of a severe case of gum disease which I am now getting through. Could you please tell me what these are and how they are any different from normal dentures?
A. An immediate denture is placed at the same time the teeth are extracted. This allows the patient not to have to go without teeth.
