I had two dental implants but no crown what is the next step?

Friday, July 31st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I had two dental implants put in a couple of years ago, but as yet have not had the crowns fitted, as I moved to the UK, away from the dentist who was doing the work for me. I really want to get the work completed and also have a few other things that need to be done. What are the next steps for me? And does it matter that I will be going to a completely different dentist? Thanks, in advance, for your advice.

My son baby teeth is still strong without sign of being absorbed advice

Friday, July 31st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, My son is almost 10 year old and today his dentist told me that he may need to pull out two of his baby teeth because the adult teeth are underneath and one of the roots of the baby teeth are still showing strong without sign of being absorbed. I am wondering if the pulling is necessary (a must) because I would prefer waiting for them naturally fall off rather than the manual intervene. Can you give me some advices on which way is the best for my son? thanks

Would fixed metal braces get my six front teeth straightened?

Friday, July 31st, 2009
Q.
Hi, due to years of thumbsucking my left central overlaps my right and there is a lot of crowding on my top teeth. I also have a rotated canine tooth which sticks out. I realise I have a very narrow arch. I have enquired about the Inman aligner at several clinics, some say I am not suitable and others say they can make a huge improvement but not to expect a Hollywood smile. How much of an improvement can the Inman’s make? I am only particularly concerned with my top six teeth that show when I smile, I am not interested in correcting any other problems. Would the appearance of my front six teeth be much different looking if I chose to get my teeth straightened with a fixed metal brace?

A.
From your descriotion I don’t … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

There was a hole beginning in one of my lower teeth should ive fillings?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
Two years ago my dentist told me there was a hole beginning to form in one of my lower teeth (approx 4th from the back. I asked him what could be done, and he said “Nothing – we wait until it gives trouble and take it out.” This was my first visit to this dentist (my previous dentist having died)and I was uneasy about the answer. On my last vist, I asked whether it could be filled, but he said no, and gave a technical explanantion which made no sense to me, as a layman. Can I seek a second opinion with a dentist in another practice? Many thanks

Yes it would be a good to get … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
