I am having a cantilever bridge done for tooth 10 I believe. It is being bridged to tooth 9. I hope these numbers make sense. After a few days with the temporary in now. The gums where the missing tooth was have started to unswell and I feel a very very small space between the fake tooth and gums. Well not an open space, just not so snug anymore. I can feel air and saliva jet threw over the top of the fake tooth when I say my S’s and F’s. I guess my question is when I get the permanent ones put in will it fit more snug between the gums and tooth and not allow the air to jet threw. At least not so much. It tickles my lips and gums and also affects my speech. Question two: Since it is a Cantilever bridge, will it cause and kind of torque pressure against the capped tooth? With the temporary one now I can feel a little twisting pressure when I rub my tongue across the back of the teeth as well as when I pucker my lips. Any info will help. My dentist seems on top of it. It’s just I don’t want to continue with all these questions. I have already been a pain the last few days. Beside I want to get somebody else’s opinion.
