    Hi

    I had a bridge for my top 2 front teeth (2 teeth either side were shaved down to anchor it) done in the UK in 1985, it's kind of ill-fitting now with lots of gaps....do these generally need replacing? can I get a new one made and fitted? is there a league table in anybodys opinion who is the best in Dublin at this type of work?

    Thanks

    to be honest, any dentist worth their salt should be able to help you here.

    although, i'd try and find who did the original one! 31 years is good going!

    There are loads of options, new bridge is often possible.

    Indeed a 30 year old bridge is savage success.

    nah....had it done in London in 1985 when I lived there...want to stay in Ireland for this treatment though - did the foreign travel research and to be honest it's seems like a bit of a false economy !!! I'm just worried that the gums may have receeded too much over the last 31 years to make a new bridge look realistic, anybody any reccomendations for anybody specialising in this type of work, preferably in Dublin ? (I'm on the Northside)
