There is small gap between my lava crown and the gum what can be done to fix it?

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Safeer, i have recently had 4 lava crowns fitted to my front teeth . The 2 on my left side look wonderful ! the problem is the other two are not as good, on one the margin is visable (only a very small amount 1 mm ) and i am worried that the exposed original tooth is going to decay more quickly, and my other concern is my gum hasn’t filled the gap between the crowns leaving a deep recess and not only is it not athestetic it also gets food stuck in this gap ! do you think im within my rights to have the dentist rectify the work free of charge ? what can be done about the gum?? i am so worried! I had to work so hard to pay for the crowns. should i ask for a refund ? the dentist was a general dentist in haywards heath. thank you so much for helping me i am so pleased people like u help people like me god bless you

I stopped smoking and my gums are still receeding is there treatment to replace the gums

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Q.
I am hoping you can give me some advise. I was a smoker for a long time and my dentist told me this was why my teeth were falling out, and gums receeding. I stopped smoking purchased an oral B brush, clean my teeth regularly and deep clean them also, but the receeding sstill continued. My mum has just informed me (I am 46) that the is a hiareditary problem of gum disease, this being why my gums are receeding. the left hand side of my mouth is worse particularly in the mouth. however I now have a wobbly tooth at the next to my two front ones and the gum has receeded up, it looks awful. I will probably have two maybe three weeks before it falls out. I am terrified. I have never be blessed with beautiful skill, but been proud of my smile and lips. I have lost some teeth but at the back so never bothered me. I have started using corsydil to help but the tooth is getting worse. Can I have implants, or can I have my teeth saved? is there such a treatment that can replace the gums before it is too late. how long do implants take or if I have another problem, and need bone restructuring and how much would this cost. I need some help as soon as possible Please help.
