    Temporary bridge and gum/bone loss?
    Hi I had to have 2 teeth pulled. One on each side of my mouth. I decided to put a bridge to replace the pullen teeth. The dentist only put a temporary on the right side and not the left side. I have been back several times to get fitted.
    The last visit they only showed me (what was suppose to be finished) bridge. On the left side (where no temporary was provided). But I noticed that where the tooth was, the bone is pretty much non existent. (between the teeth that are there. And the tooth on the bridge is longer.
    It looks really weird and the tooth next to it needs crown lengthening so it would not be a huge size difference. As I feel the gums on the right side they feel normal.
    Do you think because they did not put a temporary on the left side, the gum/bone changed drastically? Because it did not happen to the right side??

    And now I have to pay for crown lengthening?
