Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello, I am writing to you because I am becoming somewhat desperate. A month ago my personal dentist extracted the upper left 2 and made an acrylic temporary bridge attached to the 3 (which I of course had to pay 64 Eur for), and it fell off the very next day. After it was re-cemented, it held for a good two weeks, when I had to go to the emergency dentist to have it temporarily cemented again. It also turned out that the acrylic crown on the 3, to which the bridge is attached, already has a proper hole in it; of course I had to pay for the re-cementing, and now after 5 days it has loosened again. My dentist is on holiday until the end of August. I really no longer know what to do. Am I now supposed to go to the emergency dentist every 5 days and pay for less than five minutes of work that will loosen again anyway? I should also mention that I do not even dare look at more solid food, let alone eat it, because my job involves constant contact with people and I cannot have a gap. I really do not know what to do, because I have to wait at least half a year for a fixed bridge, and what if the same happens with that one. My other teeth are in order, but I am still completely disappointed by how dentistry works here: you pay for sloppy work….

Dear Sir/Madam!
We solve the situation you describe with a removable temporary replacement (mini denture), which you remove at night and while cleaning your teeth. Cementing a replacement to the neighboring teeth is most often unsuccessful. You have two permanent solutions:
-making a bridge, which is the standard doctrinal solution but is radical, because the neighboring teeth have to be ground down (price; 210 X 3 = 630 Eur)
-placement of an implant, which is certainly the better solution because the neighboring teeth do not have to be ground down (price; 750 Eur (implant) + 420 Eur (crown on the implant).
The price of the temporary replacement and all accompanying procedures are included in the stated price. Every replacement has a warranty (including a temporary one)
I hope you will resolve your problem soon.
Have a nice day!
