hi,
I'd really like some second opinion re my Maryland bridge - no bridgeS. My dentist whom I trusted very much has since Nov last tried to fit me with one (4th left top). The first one was too high, so taken out, filed own and re-bonded, failed; re-bonded, failed. Left out as still temp during healing period.
Nr 2 fitted perfectly, had only one wing, - failed, fell out immediately.
nr 3 was prepared too short (i.e. gap between lower and upper teeth showing without dentist telling me beforehand) - fell out immediately;
nr 4 was too big all around; dentist crammed it in just in case - but it was too high, so she tried to take it out, but could not, so she took off the wings and left it to fate (fell out within a day).
At the moment I have got
nr 5 as dentist agreed there had been some issues with lab in the process; this again is too high, which I knew immediately but dentist said I might just have to get used to it. so she cemented it in regardless; It is too high but not as bad as nr 1. when I bite on it left, my right-side jaw does not close, but I can sort of chew and I don't have any pain.
Fact is though, it is too high. What I can't remember is whether the dentist will be able to file it down without taking it out? I can't remember whether she tried that with nr 1.
- any other ideas? I could kick myself that I agreed to her fixing it against my gut feeling, but honestly what can you do lying there with your feet up in the air and her standing over you? (sorry about my language, I am female and so is the dentist, I don't mean to imply abuse, just feeling powerless and frustrated.)
