Can I have invisalign braces if I have dental veneers?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
Following an unsuccessful attempt to straighten my upper front teeth by having a brace fitted, I was persuaded by my dentist to have veneers. This seemed to work at first, but a couple of years later, one of the front teeth seems to have moved forward & I am unhappy with the result. Would it be possible to have invisalign braces with my existing veneers?,

I’m not suitable for dental implants so how about mini implants?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Tennent, I was trying to find current information about mini-implants in the maxilla to stablize a full denture. I’ve had a consultation and am not a candidate for traditional impants so I was wondering if mini-implants would be an option? What I’ve read online is confusing, some say they cannot be used successfully on the top some say they can. What is your opinion, sir? Thank you.,

Can you receive a gold crown through the NHS?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Q.
I have a back molar that needs a crown and happy to have a metal one there but thought it would be gold but will be made of non-precious metal ie nickel alloy. As there are possible health issues with nickel, can you get a gold one on NHS these days and if not what is price range privately.,

I am experiencing pain in the tooth next to the one that was root canaled, is this normal?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Q.
Hi, i did a root canal on friday on an upper tooth that was damaged but had fillings done months ago. im traumatized after the treatment, felt shaky right after i walked out of the clinic. After the root canal treatment, i did feel good for awhile but on the saturday, i had swelling on my whole of right face, even my tonsil and neck..swelling got worst by the day. Doc only prescribed me with mefanamic acid for the pain (no antibiotic given). even my head hurts. i visited the doc again on monday (today), re-cleaning of the tooth was done. swelling is still there (this time antibiotic was given), when i got home, i realized that the tooth next to it felt some pain. is that normal? or do i have to remove that tooth (the tooth that was re-cleaned seems ok so far).. swelling didnt go down yet, i still look like i got punched on the face, pain is minimized but i am feeling feverish after taking the antibiotic..is that a bad or good thing?. very worried and in pain…='( Help…,
