I am considering a smile makeover but would like to know if I can find a suitable denture first, which ones are available to me?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi. I have had peridontal disease and had it treated and suffered extreme gum recession, in particular over the front 4 teeth. I also have a a wire that is holding my front teeth in place and this wire is “in filled”. I absolutely hate my smile as my teeth look very long and have gaps in the top where this is no gum there. I really think I would like to have a cosmetic makeover and have the front 4 teeth removed. I am always told “hang on to your teeth as long as you can” but if you have a horrible smile you dont want too. I also wear a small partial denture on the top as I had two teeth removed at the back of my mouth. I would have a denture, but I dont want those thick ones – are there any other types on the market?

Braces corrected my teeth when I was younger but I feel like my teeth are moving out of place again, what should I do?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi Andrew,  I´m 24 and when I was younger (14 or so) I wore braces to correct my two top front teeth because they were really crooked. The braces have resulted in me having perfectly straight teeth, but ever since then, every so often, my teeth feel like they are moving, a slight click. A couple more years have passed and I admit I´ve been through emotional strain, but the teeth feel different in my mouth, like they have moved, and sometimes it feels like I can feel my heartbeat vibrate in them. They don’t feel wobbly as such, but I´m paranoid about losing one. What shall I do, what is causing all of this?

Thankyou

How long should a dental crown last for?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi, my partner had a porcelain crown fited two years to a tooth in the lower jaw at the rear. The crown has come off and is damaged. Her current dentist said the crown needs to be replaced and as itis quite slim two years is about all it will last if replaced again in porcelain. He advised her to consider replacing the crown with either gold or silver which she is hesitant to do.
