Is the plate my only option because I have gum disease?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
I have Periodontal disease in my gums, which causes a lot of plaque to build up in my lower teath. I have a plate with three teeth in my top teeth, that don’t fit right, that has also pushed two teeth to the left and loosened them. I really want to take the rest of my teeth out. What I want to know is, is the plate my only option for both top and bottom because of the disease, or would I have an option of some kind of implants.

Could I have new lumineers placed over my old veneers?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi I had veneers done when I was 15, I am now 33 and think they still look horrible to be honest. I am very camera shy and never show my teeth as I lack confidence because of the. I would have them re done but I can’t afford it, could I have lumineers over the top or are they expensive too? How can I whiten them also? Hope you can help me as I get married this year and would love it if something could be done.

Is receiving the post and crown a good idea?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
My dead front tooth is broken below the gum line and dentist said that the post and crown is not a good choice due to the short root, but we could try though. However, I feel that having that done would give me an extra time before implantation, because implants are not for life and I am still young. Do you think it is worth trying and can it possibly reduce chances for successful implantation later on?,
A.
I would go for the implant now… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What is an alveoplasty?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
i would like to know what an alveoplasty is exactly, and what i can expect, pain wise, after it’s over. i had an extraction of tooth #18 done 3/18/10, and the site had to be gone into 3 more times due to continual problems i was having. my jaw bone is sticking out of the gum a bit, and i was referred to an oral surgeon. he informed me of what needs to be done, he will file the bone down and check the socket to make sure nothing else is going on, and as a result, this will stir things up again and delay the healing process. what can happen if this isn’t taken care of?,

it might carry on being sore b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
I had a filling put in my very back tooth about 6 weeks ago. Ever since then I keep a terrible aching in jaw whenever I chew, although the pain is under a tooth that was not fixed.
