Q. Good afternoon,I have just visited a dentist who says that I need root canal surgery,and prescribed antibiotics because of an abcess.I had an upper bridge 10 teeth fitted 5yrs ago, though not by him, and have been told that I am about to lose all of my teeth, plus the bridge. I am at my wits end. I will not contemplate dentures, and need advise on implants.Please help
A. Options for replacing mising teeth are
1. bridges
2. dentures
3. implants.
Implants are a great way of replacing missing teeth. My advice would be to see an experienced implant dentist to provide you options.

Q. I am aged seventy two and I have had upper crowns and bridges for about twenty five years, now two of the teeth are crumbling inter palatally. This involves the left central incisor and the canine tooth. The remedy which has been suggested is to cut of my bridge between the central incisors, have the teeth removed on the upper left and then have implants. Until I get a new bridge I will need to wear dentures, the estimated cost for this is £9k. There will be two dentists involved in this; one says that I must stop smoking and the other dentist say that I do not need to. At present I am hoping that “cosmetic bonding” is an alternative. My questions are. Could “cosmetic bonding” prevent the offending teeth from additional crumbling? If implants are the only solution, will I need to stop smoking? Many thanks.
A. Bonding is a good temporary solution although if the teeth need to come out then it might not work that well. If you have implants stopping smoking will help improve the success rate.

Q. maryland bridge or partial denture, for bottom front tooth which would look best,can you see silver through the gap with a bridge,my dentist does not explaine or help he is always to busy to speak.
A. Marylan bridges are permanently fixed so are nicer than dentures which need to be taken out. Both are possible options as is a dental implant. sometimes the metal is visible and the adjacent tooth can look a little grey.

Q. I had a removable partial denture fitted 3 days ago. I can’t speak or eat with it and I’m sure the problem is because of the acrylic palate. Is it possible to have the palate removed? I have four teeth on the denture which are held in with two clasps and it is so hard to remove it. I haven’t put it in today, because its too difficult to get out again. Please advise. Many thanks
A. It sounds like it needs adjustment although the difficulty speaking is normal when a denture is first fitted. You might have to go back to your dentist next week for adjustments or consider an alternative such as a bridge or implants.

Q. My 23-year-old daughter has a 6 tooth bridge across one incisor to the other. This was because she was missing 2 laterals. This was done instead of implants because of severe bone loss of the missing laterals and not enough space for implants. She did have braces but unfortunately had an orthodontist that didn’t know what he was doing, causing these problems. An excellent prosthodontist suggested either redo braces and gum grafting or a bridge. For monetary reasons and my daughter not wanting go through this all over again for years she chose a bridge. This is when she was 19. Is it possible for her to get implants and crowns or once a bridge, always at bridge?
A. It doesn’t sounds like anything has changed regarding the space or bone for implants and now the teeth have been trimmed (i presume) it isn’t really worth considering replacing everything. If the bridge starts to fail then the situation may change and implants may become an option then.

Q. Hi, I have just returned from a visit to my dentist today. My appointment was for preparation for a crown on upper molar, second from back. This tooth had broken in half followng root canal treatment and filling 5 years ago. My current dentist put a temporary cover on it and we left it for six months to ensure that the seal hadn’t been breached. When he removed the temporary today he advised he would be unable to save the tooth as what was left of the tooth was partially below the gum-line rendering a crown that would not be viable. He suggested either a bridge, which he felt was not a good option due to the grinding down of the adjacent teeth and suggested an implant at a cost of £2,000. Having done some research on the internet some sites have said that crowns can be placed even if there is only a root left (that has had root canal treatment) and a post can be inserted into the root for the crown to be attached to. Can you advise if this is a possibility please? I look forward to your response. Many thanks.
A. the details are all important here. some teeth can be managed with crowns some are better extracted.
the size, shape and location of the residual tooth : filling are all important.
Before implants there were several common ways to solve the problems. But the fix might only last 5-10years, Implants can be more predictable in some cases. so tend to be increasing in popularity.

Q. What is bridge work and does it involve any injections …. thankyou
A. A bridge is a way of filling the gap left after a tooth is removed. it normally requires injections as the teeth either side of the gap need to be drilled down to receive the bridge.

Q. I have been trying to wear a nightguard /splint. But it’s causing me pain especially on one side where I have a bridge. In the morning it seems like the pain is in the gum under/behind the bridge area. It’s like one side feels alright but this side isn’t. I was hoping maybe you could shed some light on why this might be happening. Your thoughts on this are much appreciated. Thank you.
A. I guess the splint is either rubbing on the gum or causing pressure on the bridge. pop back to your dentist and ask him to adjust it

Q. I have a gap on my bottom jaw. The 2nd tooth never grew when I was growing up. My dentist says I could have a bridge but I am reluctant to have good teeth either side filed down. The gap is not very big but is annoying and the tooth from the upper jaw is growing downwards to fill the gap. Would an implant work? I had an implant for a bigger missing tooth on the uppper jaw which is great but this gap is smaller.
A. If the gap is less than 5mm wide then an implant will not be possible. It which case a bridge might be the best alternative

Q. My husband had a bridge fitted last year (4 front teeth). He does not floss the area between his bridge teeth and gums – saying that his dentist said it was not necessary as the bridge was tightly fitted and there was no “gap”. He now has bad/stale breath and I believe it is to do with him not cleaning his bridge work properly but he won’t be told. I too have a bridge (1 tooth) and my dentist showed me how to floss the “gap” between bridge and gum. So who’s right?
A. I would advise that your husband visits his dental professional for a hygienist appointment. The hygienist will be able to clean the area, as well as advising your husband on how to care for his bridge. It may however, be that this is not the cause of the bad breath. I hope this helps

Q. I am about to start looking for a dentist to do some reconstructive work on my teeth. I am about to lose many teeth due to genetic periodontitis. I am willing to have some existing teeth pulled if it makes the procedure easier – I do not hold out much hope for most of them. My preferred option would be bridges secured by implants, if possible. Can you advise me of the options I may have and the cost implications of same.
A. Hello, thanks for your message, it sounds like implants would be your best option is you still have enough bone for them. You would need an assessment and a ct scan of the jaws to decide the best treatment. As a rule you may need to budget around £1500-2000 per missing tooth if implants are used. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look for you my clinic number is 01245 268 494

Q. hi i got a single yellow upper front teeth. it looks very ugly . iwant to get rid of this problem .if i go for surgery how much it cost for me pls help
A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider having a veneer placed on the tooth. This is a thin layer of porcelain which can be used to alter the size shape and colour of your tooth. The shade of your veneer could be chosen to match your other teeth, hence creating a more uniform look to your smile. Although the costs will vary between practices, you should expect to pay between £400 – £600 for a veneer. Many cosmetic practices who offer these services, will also have the facility to offer payment options such as interest free credit to help spread the cost. I hope this will be of assistance to you.

Q. Hi, I am a 49 year old male and i have lost all but 3 of my top teeth, and dont have that many left on the bottom, can you help me please?
A. The treatment for you will probably be a combination of dentures and implants. The best result would be a fixed bridge attached to implants but this depends on the amount of bone available for the implants and of course cost

Q. i had bridge work done all of the upper not happy with the results, one side seen lower the teeth seem too big, did have some adjustments, still not happy, also this took almost 3 months to complete. what are the procedure to have this redone. not happy
A. Very sorry to hear that you are not happy with the result of your bridge. The only thing to be done now is to have it redone. If you came to see me I would firstly assess exactly what you are not happy with using photographs and possibly imaging. Impressions of your existing bridge would be taken and a diagnostic mock up of your teeth would be made in wax on the model. When your bridge is removed this mockup would be used to produce a beautiful temporary bridge and any adjustments would be made at this stage until you are happy. This would then be copied to make the final bridge. In this way the aesthetics are very carefully controlled. This could be completed before Xmas but you will need to contact my surgery as soon as possible as my clinical time is limited due to lecture commitments. I hope to see you soon.
