- Before you do anything else, check on a partial made of Valplast. It is flexible and supposed to last a lifetime, not metal but made of a nylon compound. It has been used in Europe for decades. Unfortunately, not all dental insurers cover it but it is so much better than a traditional metal-based partial. Bridges are bad news unless they are in the very front of your mouth. Even then, you can expect more trouble down the road.
- The bride I had lasted about 10 years - was great until my teeth underneath started rotting away. I now have a temporary partial (wires hang onto the teeth)Few months I am expected to have a permanent partial. Not sure of the difference, besides the cost. Unfortunately, my temp partial I have now, the teeth have broken off from the actual partial leaving a gap in front of my mouth. This is my second "temp partial in a 6 month period. Time for the lab to follow up on their quality control.
- I have bridges on either side of my lower jaw. They are 10 years old and going strong. no problems. However, I had a lower jaw frontal bridge put in 8 months ago (pulled my 4 front teeth) and I am miserable. I have had the bridge replaced 3 times, and the last they had to cut it out of my mouth. My anchor tooth recently became absessed, and they had to drill thru the bridge to drain the absess. None of the bridges have ever fit. They are uncomfortable, and affect my speech. I am now going to see a prosthodontic specialist (which I should have done in the first place) I am now leaning towards a partial if I haven't damaged my anchor teeth too much. Please research prior to commiting to a frontal bridge.
- I have had four bridges (each about 15 years before they shifted)--off to the side of my front teeth--starting when I was 20. I am sad that perfectly good teeth had to be ground down to anchor the bridge; but they have looked good and have been comfortable. My teeth are healthy, as are my gums. The last one I had made in Nogales, Mexico and it is the best yet. Flipper bridges that wire on to teeth are notorious for loosening those teeth, so I didn't want to go there. Implants are even more expensive and are iffy as to whether they last. I guess in the end, you get what you pay for.
I would like to jump in here and point out some things about Nylon.
The previous answers address some of these in a discussion about "Partials" where wire clasps were mentioned. That is the old traditional way to help secure retention for a removable dental appliance. There are newer options to explore and that is why you should find a very knowledgeable Dentist that specializes in dentures. A "Prosthodontist" would be a good place to start. Here are the Newer Options you might explore.
NYLON- offers flexibility in long sections but does not have compressibility, which limits its use to lingual, palatal and buccal applications. Thus requiring relief of lingual, palatal and proximal undercuts resulting in lack of a close fit. Nylon also has a problem with bonding. Nothing seems to bond to it so repairs or additions are out of the question and a whole new appliance has to be fabricated. That will be a problem because of the tissue changes that will occur in your mouth throughout your life. More money to make a new appliance.

Why do the bridge pins keep popping out of your acoustic guitar when you change the strings?
As the ball end of the string begins to wear the bridge plate a common problem is flying bridge pins. Have you ever tried restringing your guitar only to have the pins pop or fly out when tuning the string to tension? Usually, when a bridge pin will not stay put, wear on the bridge plate is allowing the ball end of the string to pull up and into the plate instead of locking itself against the plate. It could also be a very poorly fitting pin. If wear on the bridge plate is extensive a bridge plate veneer or plugs can help. Another tip which is quite helpful in this instance is to bend a slight hook in the end of the string when replacing the strings. This small "hook" will help the string to catch the edge of the plate and avoid being pulled up into the plate. When the ball end of a string wants to pull into the bridge plate hole the bridge pin must then smash or wedge the string in the hole to prevent it's slippage. Ideally the ball end of the string hooks around the edge of the plate and the bridge pin holds it there. On an instrument without problems or excessive wear it is even possible to remove a few treble string bridge pins when it is strung to tension. Though I do not recommend it, it illustrates the physics.
Does food cling to a partial plate as bad as it does to 'snaggly' teeth?
Yes, food does stick to partial dentures. Maybe even worse than snaggly teeth.
How do dental crowns stay in place?
With today's technology, partial dentures can stay secure in your mouth and look natural without implants or messy adhesives, no matter how much or how little jawbone you have. The key is to have they made by a board certified denturist There are two types of partial dentures: removable and fixed. Removable partial dentures consist of a metal framework along the artificial teeth and metal clasps which hold the denture in position. Alternatively, the fixed partial denture, often referred to as a bridge, is cemented in the appropriate position. The bridge is preferred over removal partial dentures because the bridge tends to be more comfortable and better resembles natural teeth. On the flip side, the bridge requires healthy teeth for their support and are more expensive than the removable partial denture. If you are considering such a procedure for yourself, discuss both options with your dentist.
How much are the partial tolls on 264 East between Portsmouth VA and Norfolk VA?
That route includes travel over a bridge which charges a toll. The bridge is called te South Norfolk Jordan Bridge. However, there is no toll booth or plaza and you do not pay when crossing. Instead there are three ways to pay. The easiest is to have a E-ZPass, which charges $1.50. The next option is to register your vehicle with the bridge and the license plate will be scanned and you will be charged $3. The simplest, but most expensive option is to pay my mail, where a bill is sent to the license plate holder for $4. These rates are for passenger vehicles. For more information check out the website of the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge at snjb[dot]net.
