One of my teeth need to be pulled and ive a very high smile line could i go for implants or bridges

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Q.
I broke off my two front teeth when I was 12. They were crowned and I had both teeth for over 30 years. 9 years ago one tooth had to be pulled and an implant was placed. That was ok I had some bone loss so it took over a year to place the implant. Now the other tooth needs to be pulled and I’m faced with another implant or a cantilever bridge. I understand that the implant is more permanent but the cosmtic results won’t be very good. I have a very high smile line. I know and have been told my case is difficult. The specialist, of course, recommends the implant but my regular dentist believes the bridge could work very well for me. Have you had experience with this situation. If so, what would you recommend. Thank you for your time.

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Bohara, I am writing on behalf of my adult daughter. She cannot go to the dentist unless she has IV sedation. She has recently moved to the Nottingham area and wants to have her veneers which are about ten years old redone. She also needs some emmergency fillings and is having pain. Could you pass on the name of a dentist in the Nottingham area where she could have IV sedation by a properely qualified dental practioner. Thank you,

Ive been bulimic on and off and ive have lost enamel on my teeth is this caused by vomiting?

Friday, July 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have been bulimic on and off for a few years now. I have a huge fear of dentists but went last week. I was worried the dentist would be able to tell that I’m bulimic but he didn’t say anything, so does that mean he probably couldn’t tell? Also, I don’t think I have lost enamel on my teeth but my top, front teeth appear ‘see through’ at the bottom and have really bad brown stains on the back of them. Is this caused by vomiting or is it just inproper dental hygiene? I wanted nto ask my dentist if I was doing any damage (as I also need several fillings and a root canal) but I was too embarrassed. Thanks for your help.

I been for a consultation to find out if Im suitable for invisalign and im. what is the cost of it

Friday, July 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have recently been for a consultation to find out if I am suitable for Invisalign – and I am. I am concerned though about proceeding (which I definately want to do) having only had advice and costings from one person. Do you recommend having a consultation with more than one dentist? Or is anyone listed on the Invisalign site safe to proceed with. I am happy with the cost I have been quoted but would rather pay less if I can! Many thanks
