Dental bridge, can I add a plate temporarily?

I have a 4 tooth bridge that is loosing isn't supports. It won't stay. Does any one know if a plate could be just added to it, so I won't have to replace it right now with a six tooth bridge? I can't afford it now.

HELLO,





THE ABUTMENT WHICH IS LOOSE MAY BE DOUBLE ABUTTED AT THE LOOSE END WHERE AN ADDITIONAL CROWN CAN BE SOLDERED TO THE EXISTING BRIDGE, ASSUMING THERE IS AN ADJACENT TOOTH THERE. THE BONDING CEMENT CAN ALSO BE SPECIALIZED. A 4-META CEMENT WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY STRONGER THAN TRADITIONAL CEMENTS COULD BE UTILIZED. THE COMPANIES WHICH MANUFACTURE THESE SPECIAL CEMENTS ARE PARKELL AND J. MORITA.
Reply:It is hard to say and give a diagnosis just by a description. But if you have a 4 unit bridge that is getting loose, there are a couple of scenarios. Lets say only on one side it is loose then we may be able to cut off the bad part and leave the last "anchor" or abutment and wera a stayplate to cover the missing areas. Or if both anchors are bad then you may need to extract both abutments or "anchors". You can definitley wear a plate. But make sure it is made before you pull it to avoid any embarrassment esp in the front teeth.
