Value your advice on replacing tooth after root canal?

February 9th, 2010
Q. I have had a root canal on my bottom front tooth but I am still having problems with the nerve below the tooth. I am thinking of having the tooth removed (its discoloured now) and having a bridge fitted. What would you recommend ?,
A. Thanks for your questions, I would recommend that you discuss the prognosis for the tooth with your dentist, and if they feel that the chances are slim then I would recommend a bridge as the best solution to close the gap you would have following an extraction. You may also wish to consider a dental implant, as this would relieve the need to prepare the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. If the dentist feels that the prognosis is good, then he may recommend that you havethe tooth crowned, as this would not only protect the tooth, but would also improve the appearance. I hope that this will help.Kind RegardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Why do bottom teeth veneers keep coming off?

February 9th, 2010
Q. why do my bottom teeth veneers frequently come off ? admittedly i have quite small teeth ,is there a more permanent glue that can be used?,
A. It could be due to the way you bite / grind your teeth ask your dentist to have a look and possibly make you a nightguard.  The roots of the teeth need to be checked that they are healthy.

What treatment can I have for two rabbit front teeth?

February 9th, 2010
Q. I wore braces a couple years ago and my teeth are all straight and lovely. However, with my two front teeth, they are longer than the others, making me look like a rabbit at times!! Do you have any advice? Or would I just need to ask the dentist to shave them down? I’m 17, so would this cost money? Thanks!!,
A. Thanks for your question, it may be possible to file the teeth down, for which the dentist may charge a small fee. There is also the option of placing veneers on the teeth, as veneers can be used to improve the shape and size of your teeth to enhance your smile.Kind RegardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Q. My dentist said that Ihave receeding gums. What is the best type of electric toothbrush to use, oscillating or sonic? Please dont say both as I have to choose between the two. Thank You,

What treatment would be best for decayed teeth as shown in pic?

February 9th, 2010
Q. Hi, I am 22 years old and have included a photo of my teeth http://i48.tinypic.com/2cxj24p.jpg as you can see they are in very poor condition. I was wondering what could be done if anything to correct something of this severity. What price range am I looking at, and what sort of treatment?,
A. You need your teeth to be assessed, the decay looks deep so some teeth may need root canal treatment before the teeth could then be restored.  I notice your teeth are very small.  You need to book a full consultation with a good cosmetic dentist so you can have your options explained.

I had an accident years ago and would like to know price of veneers?

February 8th, 2010
Q. Hi, i had an accident when i was younger. My tooth front teeth were damaged one died about 5 years ago and i had root canal. The other has now died and the previous root canal has failed my dentist has advised me that the success of the root canal again is slim but apart from that i dont have many options. How much would it be to get Veeneers i think this was the option i was given. How much at your clinic? Thanks,
A. You need to have the teeth probably assessed before considering new veneers, if the roots are not stable or healthy a better long term solution may be dental implants as they could give you more than 20 years use.  I would be happy to examine your teeth and give you all the options available.

Crown feel liks it has moved and bite feels wrong – any advice?

February 8th, 2010
Q. I had some cosmetic work done on my teeth in November including the fitting of 3 veneers and 3 crowns. I have been experiencing problems with the new front crown (which is a post crown and had resulted from an injury 35 years ago when I lost the tooth in an accident) the same crown had been in place since then. The tooth next to it was fitted with a veneer, the new crown I have now discovered is all porcelain. I learnt this on my return visit to the dentist when it was causing discomfort and the bite wasn’t right. I returned twice more before Christmas because the bite was still not right and I was experiencing discomfort from the new crown. Finally in despair I visited another local dentist – I live in Devon who was recommended to me because he specialises on bite issues. He took a layer of the porcelain off the back, which has relieved the discomfort in that tooth no end. The veneer next to it is still catching though so I am going back to him this week. I now wish I had never had the original work done and had kept my original crown which had caused no problems all those years. Sorry for the long email – will get to the question! It feels like the new front crown has moved – is that possible? If I came up to the Mulberry – when the weather clears – would you with your bite machine be able to tell me whether the bite or where the bite is off and also check whether the new crown has moved? Many thanks,
A. It certainly seems like you do have bite problems you may need to have your bite adjusted more until things settle and possible have those crowns replaced.  Please speak to your original dentist about this.  We would be happy to help in anyway we can.

Are dentures best option for painful and decaying teeth?

February 8th, 2010
Q. I have a real serious problem. I went to a dentist because my teeth were just breaking apart piece by piece. They ended up pulling all my top teeth and gave me a denture. They said they could save my bottom teeth with root canals and fillings. Well after thousands of dollars almost everyone tooth on the bottom has now broken off and I am in serious pain. My grandfather, mother and sister all have had this happen to them too. Sometimes I can just run my tongue over my teeth and my teeth come off in like a gooey substance. There is not much left and I stay in pain. My dentist really screwed me. Can you tell me what is wrong with my teeth? I am sure I need dentures now on the bottom but after all that I paid and still paying I can’t afford to do anything else. In pain in Washington State,
A. Unfortunatly some people have weaker teeth than others, this can be due to genetics and/or sometimes certain medication that you may have taken whilst the teeth were forming may have weakened your teeth.It is hard for me to tell you exactly all the different and affordable options. I recommend that you see a dentist who you can trust – perhaps through a referral – and hopefully thay may be able to help you.Justin Glaister
