Hello,
With the question “What to do with bone loss after making a bridge? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to see a specialist to be examined and photographed. Thereby the doctor will determine the location and cause of bone loss.
Bone loss can be caused by the following:
Inflammation around the teeth. The treatment is to remove tartar, scrape the gum pocket, apply medicine, take medicine, in some cases bone grafting Inflammation around the root of the tooth: Root canal treatment or tooth extraction. Dental bridge made wrong technique: Rebuild the bridge. The bone around the 6th tooth (lost) is lost: It is possible to have bone grafts, implant implants in the position of tooth 6.
