Hi Dr Caplan 24 years ago i had 4 crowns fitted, my teeth were uneven before the crowns so the dentist inserted metal posts into my gums the new crowns were fab since then i have had a root canal filling due to reacurring abscess which took several hours 3 years ago one of the metal posts dropped out the dentist did some alterations to the crown and put the post in place he told me it could last one week one month or maybe years depending on how i looked after it and he would not be able to do any further repairs and my options would be a inplant or a denture the post has dropped out again it is next to sound tooth and a crown ,what are my options i cannot afford a inplant and do not want a plate thank you

Q.
Hello today I have impressions done to my teeth and you might think I have gone crazy but I notice that my teeth hasa gone more yellow. Is this possible? moreover I have noticed that a bit of my shiny cover (enamel?) is gone from one of my teeth. Is the technique so agressive that this is likely to happen? I am quite frustrated because i did it to get a night guard to stop me grinding in the night and now I don’t know if it was such a good idea… Thanks for comments

Q.
I am 56 years of age and have had debtures since I was 21 years of age. I had a check up today to see if my dentures could be religned as the bottom denture is moving around my mouth really bad I was informed that it would not make much improvement although my gums are healthy I have no bone structure at all on the lower jaw and she has suggested an operation to insert an implant of a source which would enable my jaw to support a denture but it would cost around £3,000 to £4,000 I am on benefits can you suggest anything else? I am so desperate and have hated having dentures all my life.
