I lost a tooth that is between two dental crowns. I’m going to have a dental implant placed there but need a temporary replacement. My dentist suggested a Maryland Bridge, but I am wondering if it will attach to the dental crowns. My husband kept saying my dentist wouldn’t suggest it if it wouldn’t, but something about the whole idea has me nervous. <\/p>\n

Dear Laura,<\/p>\n

\"Maryland<\/p>\n

While you can attach a Maryland Bridge to porcelain crowns, however, they will not be as secure as they are when bonded to natural tooth enamel. I know your dentist is probably thinking it is just temporary. I will be honest, though, I do not consider a Maryland Bridge a temporary tooth replacement. <\/p>\n

\"image The only way to properly secure a Maryland Bridge is to prepare the anchor teeth with grooves. Any time you have to make permanent changes to the structure of teeth, I would not consider that a temporary replacement. <\/p>\n

This is also quite an expensive temporary replacement. Generally, I would suggest a dental flipper for patients who just need a temporary replacement while they are waiting for their dental implant crown. This is inexpensive and will not require any structural changes. I would suggest you do that instead of the Maryland Bridge. <\/p>\n

A dental implant<\/a> is the top of the line tooth replacement so that is a good choice. Be aware, if your current dental crowns are close to needing replacement, it may make more sense for you to get a dental bridge instead of the implant. It suspends a false tooth between two dental crowns. This can save you money, but only makes sense if they need to be replaced. Don’t get a bridge if their healthy and have years of life ahead of them.<\/p>\n
