Tol I need bone grafting but unsure about procedure?

Monday, February 15th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I’ve been looking into achieving some relief from wearing a full upper denture – which I have had to do for over 40 years. Implants look and sound great but, having had a basic xray, it appears there is very little bone at the front of my jaw. I am not keen to go so far as bone grafting and wonder what options may be available to me. Also, I have been quoted 2 very different prices for MRI scans – £125 and £250. Please can you also advise why there might be such a difference in cost for this preliminary examination? I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in anticipation.,
A.
Regarding the scans I have no … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My dentist told me there was no difference but I insisted that there was and have been given another syringe and been told to continue treatment for another two weeks. Is it safe to continue?

Can I have veneers to treat tooth gap?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Q.
was wondering if you could advice on how to fix my broken smile? I have aprox 2mm gap between my central incisors and i am missing the left lateral incisor. Xray revealed that my central incisors roots are short, so braces and a bridge was ruled out. My dentist suggested squaring off my cuspid but I think that would look like a cheap bodged job. if I’m to go with veneers, would I have to have all my upper teeth done?? as it would be very expensive and I’ve only recently graduated.. also would this effect the problem with my central incisors roots? as i am scared of them now falling out… but I am so embarrassed of the gap just to live with it. also, I have a blood disorder and have found any serious dental work needed has been referred to the hospital. thank you,
