Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have a question. My wife has a big problem. She fixed her teeth in a dentist that was just after the money and the result was very bad. She was recomended plastic tooths where they smaller her orginal tooths and glue some kind of plastic tooths and now it have fallen of and looks verry bad becouse the dentist smaller her tooths and she suffer to drink hot and cold. Now she is recomenended Crowns in 9 tooths in another clinic and the prize is like around 2000-2500 £ covert to pounds. She having her treatment in wedensday in the Phillippines. The country is highly corropted and i dont trust anyone there. I just wondering what should her ask about and check soo we can be sure that the dentist using really crowns. and what kind of crowns is recomended for her problem. Maybe they are using a kind of crowns that is bad quality for that prize?? I personal dont know anything about tooths, but it is verry expensive and i we dont want it to be right this time. She was there last week and they said that it have to be made at a labratory then they have planed the treatment for only 3 days, Is it a real time to do this work or is it rush. I was spending alot of money last time for nothing and it got worse. Sorry for my english i hope u can understand it and i will presaid it verry much if i get a answere Many Thanks advanced,

Should I go for root canal and then crowns or veneers on badly worn tooth? These are two dentist’s different opinions.

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Q.
In the states, the dentist wants to do four root canals and then crowns on the lower 4 front teetch, as they are badly worn from a major overbite. The Costa Rica dentest says why ruin good teeth as the roots are very strong. I understand that porcelin does not do well on dentyn and needs to be on enamil which I don’t have any. He states that a hard composite veneer is better suited on teech with not enamil.,

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Q.
i want to see if i can restore the discoloured front tooth, it’s ‘dead’ after a root canel treatment, i was told by my previous dentist that the blood supply stopped going to the tooth. Took the advice tried the filling but the coverage is only 50% and I don’t like the ‘bump’ as the filling is not in alignment with the rest of the teeth. Please advise,
