Q. Hi, I only have 1 back molar tooth on the bottom rear (the 1 behind it & ahead of it had to be extracted). Are there any problems down the road if I don’t do anything about it – or should I be getting a bridge? I’m told a bridge will run around $3,000.00 but that’s a lot of money! Please let me know if there would be any problems leaving it as is? Thank you!
A. Its always best to replace missing teeth despite the cost as not replacing teeth causes added stress on the other teeth

Q. I am 47 years old and have not been to a dentist for 27 years after a quite terryfying experience. I have lost alot of teeth and apart from a few at the front bottom and top the others remaining are broken or decaying. I am scared stiff of the dentist and get panicky just thinking about it. Could you give me some idea of how I will accepted if I go. I do not want to be lectured as i am well aware of my situation. What I need is a sympathic and calming approach but I am really scred this may not be the case.
A. When I see patients such as yourself I am certainly not judgmental but concerned about treating your mouth back to health. For patients who are scared of dentistry there are a number of ways to help you through the process. In my experience most patients who are as scared as you find IV sedation a great help. They find that this technique makes them very relaxed during the treatment and also they have little memory of the event. This also allows me to carry out the best treatment possible. If this is of interest to you please contact my practice for an appointment. i look forward to meting you.

Q. Thank you for answering my previous question about my 13 year old daughter and the best age for an implant. Since we will be going with a Maryland Bridge until she is 19 and can’t do a bone graft until then, is there anything that can be done to build up the very noticeable indent in her gums above the missing tooth. When she laughs it is extremely noticeable. Since she is only 13 it doesn’t bother her right now but as she gets older say 15 or 16 she will have a problem with it. I wish I had been told by the orthodontist that this indent could have been a possibility when there is a missing adult tooth. We would have waited to start the second phase to open the space until she was 16 or 17 so she could have gone straight to the implant and bone graft after the braces. Please let me know if this would have been a possibility which would have saved us a lot of grief and expense? Thanks.
A. I would personally treat the child at 13 years fir the maryland and then wait. The bridge will cover most of the indent in the gum.

Q. My daughter was born without her #7 adult tooth, she has been through 2 phases of braces and is now 13-14 in Nov. Above the space of the missing tooth is a very noticable indent in her gums. My question is; What is the best age for her to have a bone graft and implant? And is it possable to do the bone graft to remove the indent now and use a maryland bridge instead or do an implant in her late teens or early 20’s. Will the bone graft hold or will it disintegrate?
A. Unless an implant is put into the graft it will shrink away. My advice would be to place the maryland and wait till she is 19 for a graft and implant.

Q. I fell down from the byke and my big right upper lip is 30% broke. and i feel very small part of my teeth is left in lower lip. because my lip is tight over there. it’s doubtfull as per the x-ray report. how can i ensure, whether tooth part is left or not in my lip. and what king of problems i may face if it remain in the lip.
A. If the x-ray shows that there is no tooth fragment in the lip then it is probably scarring you are feeling which should improve in the next few weeks.

Q. Hello, Quick question, I lost one front tooth due to domestic violence and other has a hair line fracture and apparently the root did not develop so the only support it has is the gum. I can’t afford to go private so I have no choice but to go to a Dental teaching hospital, the only one I know of is Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital. Are they the only ones in London? And is the risk worth going to a teaching hospital. I’m worried I may come out worse than when I went in.
A. No guarantees can be given in dentistry but you will be treated according to standard protocols. If Guys accept you I would take the opportunity to have treatment

Q. Hi there, I have a tooth in the roof of my mouth just about half a centimetre behind my front teeth. I am 20 and have a slight gap where I assume this tooth should be. I also feel my front teeth are a bit big and it is making me feel insecure. What treatments would you recommend? Thankyou for your time.
A. It sounds like a brace might be used to reposition the teeth possibly followed by veneers to reshape the teeth, ask your dentist for a full quote.

Q. Dear Dd Caplan I have a denture of 4 missing teeth 2 either side of the top mouth. Please can you tell me, would i be able to have a bridge placed or a crome denture would be best. Would you be able to help me.? Thank you
A. The 3 ways to restore missing teeth are with dentures, bridges and implants. There are a number of factors that would determine which of these options would be best for you. Please contact my surgery for an appointment when I would be able to find out which of these options I would recommend.

Q. Hi, Im 21 and I have had a root filling in my front tooth a while ago, which made it appear discoloured, i then decided to get my teeth whitened, before the treatment i asked my dentist if the whitening would work on the root filled tooth as this was the main reason for the treatment, he said he would whiten the tooth from the inside and fill it again, after doing this i went back for a follow up appointment where he replaced the filling again and added more whitening treatment, my tooth felt very thin after this that i didnt even think he had filled it yet, when i mentioned it felt very hollow he said he had filled it. On a 3rd follow up appointment he was going to replace the filling again until i mentioned i thought the whiteness of the tooth appeared “grainy” again, he THEN suggested getting a crown and to go away and think about it. Shouldnt this have been suggested in the beginning? I then noticed a crack appearing in my tooth from the inside and today while brushing my teeth the tooth has cracked off completely. I’m so upset as it looks awful. Is there something the dentist could do straight away as i couldnt face going into work with no tooth. thanks.
A. I am one of the few dentists in the country who could give you a new tooth within a few hours. Please ring my practice on 01727854429 to see if we can see you this week. I certainly understand your embarrassment but it is a very unusual situation for a front tooth to fracture like this unless there was a lot of decay present in the tooth before youre dentist started treatment.

A.
It sounds as though you do need your tooth removed- please discuss your anxiety with your dentist as the problem of removing the tooth will only increase the more the decay is allowed to grow

Q. ive got two implants either side of a tooth thats had route canal work done,my dentist has told me the impants will have to come out have titanium screws put in so i can have a bridge made,but in the mean time i have to have 6 months for my gums to heal,working in the public sector i cant go to work with 3 teeth missing for 6 months,i cant wear false teeth as i have tried before,any ideas and is it expensive
A. I’m a little unsure of your situation. Just to clarify- once implants are placed into the jaw- you cannot ‘take them out’- unless of course you’re referring to post crowns?
It sounds as though you have been recommended an implant retained bridge. Dental implants are titanium screws like you said, and you can have 2 placed with a 3 unit bridge over the top. (3 teeth on 2 screws)
This is financially a better way of doing it. There is also an option of having a temprary bridge in the meantime onto these implants. You need to be aware that integration of the bone may take a little longer as they will be loaded staright away. Alternatively, a partial dentiure is agood way of letting the gums heal and settle around the sites before they are restored. If you have any questions, I’m sure your dentist will clarify. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to offer you a free consultaion at my kissdental practice to discuss this further. hope this has helped.

Q. I have been told by my dentist that I need to have surgery to re-align my lower jaw which I broke 6-7 years ago. It has broken and reset slightly wrong plus I still have roots embedded in my gums which apparently cannot be removed. This means I have to have dentures and was hoping for implants. Please advise as I don’t want surgery but as I have teeth missing at the front of my mouth will dentures be able to be fitted there
A. It is normally possible to make dentures for any gap although implants are preferable. i’m not sure why the roots cannot be removed but they may be close to a nerve and might cause nerve damage if they are taken out.
