Due to excess vomiting i ruined my teeth and gums which one will last long bridges or implants

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi, im 22 and for years i have battled both anorexia and bulimia nervosa, i havent had an attack in 6 years. Due to all the excessive vomiting and lack of nutriants, i ruined my teeth and gums. Im needing alot of work doing on my teeth- wich has just started- and i keep asking my dentist for a dental implant to be put in where one of my teeth has come out but he keeps saying no, he’d bridge it.. Will a bridge last being anchored on two rotten teeth? or could i get the nhs to pay for the one implant to stop my teeth closing in on themselves and me needing braces? Iv been picked up by model agencies but im really self concious about the gaps in my abused teeth. what can be done?

I would always recommend an im… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My friend had type 2 diabetes and he cant have dentures bridges or screw. is there an alternative

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Q.
My friend has type 2 diabetes and has had some teeth out recently. He tells me that he does not think that he will be able to have dentures/bridges or screw in teeth fitted as his gums and bones are not good. Is there any hope and/or procedure for him that will allow him a full mouth of teeth? He only has one top tooth at the front with some at the back and most of his bottom teeth at the moment. His remaining teeth are not in good condition and are very stained/bad.

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.

I am very uncomfortable to wear my false teeth is there any alternative other than implants

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had some work done by my dentist to corect the alingment of my teeth, which included the removal of the two teeth next to my big teeth. I was under the impression that he was going to replace these teeth via a bridge implant, but he decided that my bottom and top teeth were too close together and gave me a set of false teeth instead, that are very uncomfortable to wear, and i can’t speak properly in. I was looking at implants but was put off by the high cost. Is their any alternative to getting these teeth replaced? Thanks

what can i do about the missing front tooth and can i have implant or bridges advice?

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Q.
I have crowns on 3 of my front top teeth and a tooth bridged off to my left where I was missing a front tooth, family genes, anyways it looks very unnatural, plus metal is showing at the tops of my 3 crowns. they are approx. 33 years old. I am 59. I also have other problems. Top and bottom. Missing teeth. I have only 9 teeth at top, no back teeth and bottom I have 10 with 1 molar on each side bottom. I was told I can’t have implants at the top because of my sinuses. One cosmetic dentist suggested crowing all my top teeth, removing old crowns which have the metal showing and replacing them and crowning all my top teeth with a permanent bridge off on each side at the top. I got another opinion and was told this would not hold up without an implant on the other side of each bridge, that this would cause the crowned tooth that the bridge was off to eventually crack and break. My question is what do you suggest. (I want a healthy and pretty set of teeth) and what can I do about the missing front tooth. my family calls them “little doggie teeth” Also what is the difference in noble metal on procelain and noble high metal on orcelain? Like I said I have other problems but for now if you can address this if you understand my explanation. Thank you

My 20 yr old crown needed to be removed for root canal should i now go for implant or bridge

Saturday, July 4th, 2009
Q.
I have had tenderness and at time pain from a molar crown. The crown was on for about 20 years and was checked regularly during check-ups. Recently the pain was so bad I went in and the dentist said I needed a root canal, but he wanted to remove the crown because there was a dark shadow under it. It was there in last years x-rays, but he thought it had changed and since I was in pain wanted to take off the crown first. I had leak under the crown that was undetected, when the crown came off, my build up came out also, so he had a clear site of the decay and cleaned it out, touched on my roots to decrease pain and filled it teporarily with fillament. He advised me to get an implant. He did say my bone is fine and the toothed looked good, but the backside were the decay was is thin. I don’t want a bridge or an implant, I want the tooth saved. I know it may not last as long, but my insurance will cover more of a root canal than an implant and I’m scared. Should I do this?, get a second opinion?, find someone who would be willing to rebuild it?Help?

Sometimes it isn’t possible to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
