It's normal to have a little discomfort, but what you're describing sounds like you need a bite adjustment.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
Unfortunately you're describing the nature of a bridge. The teeth are 'glued' together making cleaning difficult. You'd need more implants to have separate teeth. That being said, your teeth do look a bit opaque to me in the picture...which may just be the flash.If you don't like the appearance, that can be redone.The easiest thing is proper cleansing of the area. If they did not demonstrate how to floss under the bridge and between the implants/teeth, go to a cleaning appointment and watch how she cleans and ask questions.(I like a product called super floss)Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
If that's an implant crown you'd have to see a periodontist, or prosthodontist. They'd have to look at the situation to see if it can be improved.If it's just a root canaled tooth (sometimes people get confused and call a post an implant) the tooth can be crown lengthened and the crown redone.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
Veneers would be more esthetic, and would last longer.Bonding would look nice for a while but inevitably starts to stain and chip.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
You can either redo the filling, or get crowns. The crowns would be more esthetic, if it's been a while since you've had a full exam and xrays I'd recommend doing that first.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
