Thank you,

A. It is difficult to give you exact ideas without seeing you.  If the space is in the bottom jaw then it really just depends on how much bone is available for the implants.  If it is the top jaw it can be more complicated as there is a sinus(pocket of air)  in the back of your mouth.  This can mean you may need a bone grafting (adding) treatment first.  Make sure you find a good cosmetic / implant dentist who can carry out these procedures.  You may not need 3 implants and could even have 2 implants and have 3 teeth supported from them.

I have been advised that I a lower molar needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant. Can you please advise whether I would still be able to wear braces to straighten the rest of my teeth when I have this implant? I mainly need to straigthen the upper teeth but have been advised that the lower teeth also need to be straightened to correct my bite.

A. hi many thanks for your email, as long as the orthodontist is consulted and is happy then there should not be a problem.

A. Hi
Plesae do not worry as you do have options to replace the gap when your tooth has been removed. The best options would be an implant, however this would be the most expensive option. There is also the option of a bridge, which would involve preparing the teeth on either side for crowns, and then the laboratory would create attach a false tooth to the two crowns to create a three unit bridge. Your final optin would be a partial denture, which would be removable. I hie this helps.
Many thanks

I had braces when I was 17. At the time there was an issue with overcrowding on the bottom teeth. There was discussion of pulling a tooth, but it was not done. I’m now 33 and have overcrowding of my lower front 6 teeth. My orthodontist suggested pulling a tooth or filing the teeth down. What are the pros and cons of filing the teeth down? Does this ruin your tooth enamel?

A. Slight adjustments using a techniwque known as interdental stripping helps to create the space in order to align the teeth. The loss of a tooth often causes an asymmetrical final result but might be your only option if the teeth are very crowded.

I am due to have my bottom front tooth extracted due to a snapped root, do you have to wait six months before a bridge can be fitted as i am having mine fitted on the same day and i am feeling very unsure that i should be fitted with a denture first

A. during the first six months after an extraction the bone will reshape. A denture is easier to adapt to this change. a bridge fitted after six months is likely to easier to adapt to the stable shape. bridges fitted at extraction sometimes need replacing after six months. Rob

I went to my dentist (NHS)for the second time re. my wisdom tooth. I was given antibiotics and she drained some of the infection. I asked to be referred to a specialist for extracion. This takes up to 6 months. I hate taking antibiotics and would rather have the tooth out asap. Can this process happen quicker i.e through private practice? What is the wait for an operation when going private and where could i go? I don’t understand why she seems reluctant to refer me and get it treated properly. I live in London. Best Wishes

A. bupa & nuffield type hospitals will have associated specialist oral surgeons who will provide a quote for your treatment. Rob

Dr. Caplan, I saw an endodontist today for a problem with a crown that I had placed in 2004. There was a root canal done on this tooth(which is the 3rd tooth from the front tooth) and then the crown was placed. But I have had a lot of trouble with the crown—has come off several times and now for the second time in 3 mo, I have decay built up under it. I am on antibiotic now and the specialist I saw today recommends that I have this tooth extracted and have an implant for this tooth. It was a baby tooth(the permanent tooth came in behind it and I had it pulled years ago). I have just a couple of questions: What is the price range of an implant? Should I have my dentist—whom I trust do the procedure or is it recommended to go to an oral surgeon? Thank you!

A. If possible I would recommend the dentist who is placing the implant to restore as well.  If your dentist has suficient ability to do both this is most likely to produce the best outcome.  Pleae siscuss the cost of this procedure with your dentist as the costs vary greatlydepending on the case

When i was in my teens i had a fixed brace to straighten my teeth, teeth were also removed, This totally changed the shape of my face my top lip/chin look empty even though i only had about 4 teeth out, are there any proceedures which could either bring teeth back out even if it meant wearing another brace, i dont really want veneers, i wish id been asked before the brace as id rather have had crooked teeth than a changed face! please help!!

A. hi many thanks for your email, generally the brace treatment which requires extracting teeth does sometimes make your jaws and smile very narrow. my advice would be to use an expander to widen the smile this would refill your face and smile and help to close the gap from what you was like to how you are now. go for a consultation with an cosmetic orthodontist who i am sure will discuss these options with you.

My daughter is having two wisdom teeth pulled and they have told her she may need alveoplasty and it is not covered by insurance. She will never put dentures where the wisdom teeth were so why would it be neccessary?

A. hi msny thanks for your email, this procedure may be required as if the extractions are very surgical, the bone might be very irregular once the teeth have been taken out and the alveoplasty will help to contour the bone so it feels much more smooth and natural in the mouth. you can ask them not to do the procedure but if the surgeon then feels it will benefit your daughter long term its a choice only you can make.
