Should I get an implant or a fixed bridge for the front of my mouth?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

I have been advised by my dentist that an implant for one of my front teeth that has been removed will offer no significant aesthetic or functional benefits to a fixed bridge, given that I am having the teeth adjacent to the front tooth concerned crowned as part of a wider cosmetic dentistry plan. My dentist says that the additional costs associated with an implant would not be justified in my particular case.
Do you consider that the aesthetic results from implants are always more natural than the potential results from a fixed bridge-I am a little apprehensive about a fixed bridge looking false and “joined up”
Many thanks

I was all set to get Invisalign paid for by my father, but my usual dentist has put him and me off. Can you advise?

Monday, November 29th, 2010
Q.

I am 21 and never had braces when i was younger. I am regretting it now! I did some research and heard about invisalign so went to see a my local consultant and he said it was suitable for me. My father had agreed to pay for me to have the treatment as it quite expensive until he asked my usual dentist about it and he completely put him off. He said he didnt trust it. I am trying to convince my father otherwise but am starting to have doubts myself. I was wondering if you could give me some advice and your opinion on invisalign? thanks.

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Der Sir, I am graduating as a secondary school teacher next year and was hoping you could give me some advice on a straightening programme that would best suite my needs.
