What can be done about tooth from which crown keeps coming loose?
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011Q.
I had a crown fitted on my front top tooth, and months after, it snapped off during an accident. The dentist fitted a post to the tooth, drilled a hole and cemented it in. He said after time it will come loose and fall out. I have been put off and scared ever since and now it as fallen out and I have been using cement bought from Boots to hold it in for weeks at a time.
What can be done about this tooth? I have many other bad teeth but this on is priority
How soon after tooth extraction do I need to have implants to save bone density?
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011Q.
Dear Dr Julian,
I had tooth extraction today which was a process of just five minutes and later I was left in pain and severe bleeding and was not prescribed anything and had gone home and taken two Paracetamol’s. I just want to know as to how soon do I need to have implants done in order to save my bone density and tissues. I am 32 years old and have been gifted in the past with good teeth but due to neglecting my teeth and having too many sugary drinks, one of my tooth decayed and as a result I have had to have it taken off today.
Will this loss of my tooth effect my other teeth as well?? Please let me know as I am very confused about what I should do next and how soon.

Approximately how much would it cost to have 3, possibly four implants to replace my front teeth?
Friday, December 3rd, 2010Q.
Hello Doctor Caplan, 3 years ago I knocked out my front right central incisor. The tooth was replaced at A’n’E but it failed to re-graft. Shortly afterward my 2 central incisors and left lateral incisor have had root canal treatment which has worked well up until now although the teeth are discoloring and are not straight. I am considering having 3 maybe 4 implants to replace my front teeth. Can you offer me a ball park figure on the cost of this treatment? I understand the need to take a closer look before quoting an accurate price but I just want an estimate.
Thanks
