Relatively new dental bridge, crowns, feels weird and not right. Dentists advice, please :(?

Two months ago I had a porcelain bridge put over my six upper front teeth (the two middle ones and the two adjacent ones on each side). The teeth next to my two front centre teeth never grew, so the bridge is effectively four crowns and two "teeth" structures.





1) The bridge feels lighter than the other teeth and Im too paranoid to chew with it. I realise that of course theyre different, as theyre porcelain. I guess I thought they would be heavier than the other teeth, but the sensation of chewing with them is quite frightening, because they feel lighter, like they could crack. Is this normal, or did I get a bad job done?





2) When I make a sucking motion of any sort (e.g. eating ice cream, sucking drink through a straw, licking my lips, etc.) it just feels awful. Im sure that Im going to suck them off and be left with the ground-down teeth they left underneath. Is this sensation normal?





3) I also think that I hear them crackle, like the cement is breaking. Is this possible?

Best thing you can do is pop in to see the dentist that made it to have it checked out.





Every dentist I have met truly means the best for their patients and they want their patients to be comfortable (after all, we don't want you talking bad about us to all your friends).





If you are still concerned about the quality of the work, most will offer second opinions just to alleve your piece of mind.





The best thing to do is to be proactice and have someone look at it.





The worst thing to do is to go months and months without "knowing" if everything is OK. Our minds can do strange things and what might be a non-issue can start to overwhelm our thoughts.





And if their "is" a problem, the earlier it is addressed the better (and less expensive) it will be.





Good Luck, email me with any questions!

folow this for good teeth.


Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.


Floss your teeth at least once a day.


Don't smoke or chew tobacco.


Ask your doctor if your medicines have side effects that


might damage your teeth. (For example, some medicines


may cause you to have a dry mouth.)


Look inside your mouth regularly for sores that don't heal, irritated gums or other changes.


See your dentist regularly.


Wear the right protective headgear while playing contact sports
Reply:It does take time to get used to this extensive dental work. All things are new now! Chewing, smiling and anything else. Keep in mind when bridges and crowns are made they are NOT shaped like the origional teeth at all!!





Also after having root canals your mouth feels different!! Where you onve had feelng you do not anymore! It is a strange feeling.





All this said!! I assure you it will not fall off!! You do need to use floss treaders because there is always a posability of loose cement, not from the areas that need cement, but from the overflow that may not have been removed properly.





I would suggest going back to your dentist to see if there is anything wrong with the bridge. If you are still not happy in 6 mo they should replace them for just a lab fee, which is about 60-90 a tooth. They should do this for you!!





Good luck!!
