The Post Which Holds My Bridge Has Broken And Cemented In Place. Can This Post Be Replaced At The Same Location?

Monday, August 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel. I have 3 teeth bridged in the front – top row. This bridge usually rest on 2 posts which were made by grinding the 1st and 3rd teeth. Last year the 1st post was found to be broken and dentist’s observation was that it does not project out of the bone. My dentist has temporarily fixed it with cement but I fear that it could become loose at any time.
Can this broken post be replaced by a new post implanted at the broken tooth/post location? If yes then please let me know the cost and also time duration for the treatment.

Thank you for your suggestion and also for your time.

Kind regards.

My Dentist Changed My Nice Veneer For An Ugly, Yellow One. Do You Know Why He Changed It?

Thursday, April 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I hope you can help me with something that has been bugging me. My dentist removed an attractive front tooth veneer because it had fallen off once. He said he could use a far superior one so I put my trust in him. After 5 weeks of waiting with a temporary veneer he put an ugly yellow, translucent veneer one on which looks awful and is worse than veneer he removed. He also drilled a lot of healthy tooth away prior to doing this. It has a rough surface to it and completely alters my smile. It has knocked confidence. Do you have any idea why he did this? Thank you for taking the time to reply to my enquiry.

I Am Really Upset As I Paid £3000 For Four New Teeth And They Failed. Do You Think A Bridge Would Be A Good Option?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I hope you can answer my question. Last year I paid for four front porcelain crowns and I was also advised to have root canals which came to a total of £3,600. 3 months later one tooth came out when I was eating. Then, as months went on, all of them had to be cemented back in. The dentist now is replacing them with 4 teeth on a bridge. I am really most upset as 3 years ago I paid £3,000 for 4 new teeth and they failed. Do you think that a bridge a good option? Thank you for your reply.

The Temporary Cement For My Crown Is Causing Me Unbelievable Pain. Should I Keep The Crown?

Thursday, December 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I had a crown fitted about 6 years ago but it was fitted with temporary cement, the nature of which has not been recorded by my old UK dentist.
It’s now causing me unbelievable pain and swelling and it needs to come out. Only thing is, I would like to keep the crown as it was expensive but need to dissolve the cement and and cap the nerve which I can only guess wasn’t done at the time. I have had to adjust my speech thanks to the incompetence of the dentist and my ill fitted front tooth.
Living in France makes it tricky to get all this done but wondered if you had any advice for me? Can I keep the old crown or shall I just rip it out and get another one or is there an easier, quicker and cheaper solution?
Any help gratefully received.

I am not happy with the shape of my bridge, can I have it changed?

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
Q.

Hi – I am having a fixed bridge across my 7 front teeth. I went to have this fitted yesterday but didn’t due to the fact I was not happy with the appearance. Teeth 1&2 are too rounded in shape at the sides & the fronts of the teeth are to rounded or bevelled. Is it too late for the lab to change these? I don’t want to look as though I have brought a set of hollywood teeth. I just want to have healthy looking natural teeth. I think these look fake. Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks
