how can i fix my broken pin supporting my smaller incisor?

Monday, April 6th, 2009
Q.
My front incisor which was capped but supporting the smaller incisor beside it via a titanium (I think?) pin, broke off at gum level yesterday leaving a large gap! What are my options? Can you use the healthy root of the main incisor as the anchor for a pin? The canine tooth beside the smaller incisor is completely in tact. Could the ‘floating’ incisor be mounted on that? What would all of that cost – roughly if it’s at all possible that is?

A.
Without assessing your mouth i… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Monday, April 6th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had some bridge work done about three years ago, I knocked my two front teeth out so I had a bridge put in and although I’m not having any sensitivty or pain at all it appears that my gums are slightly receding in on area above the bridge where the teeth are missing. it hasn’t gotten to the point where there is a space between the gums and the bridge but I don’t want it to get that bad. Also I use a sonic care toothbrush with a soft head. Can you give me some insight or some advice on this matter? Thank you for your time, JR

Sonic care toothbrushes are ve… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is flexible plate dental denture really flexible and durable?

Monday, April 6th, 2009

I use a full upper denture, my experiences are the solid plate keeps cracking. I recently had my dentist make a full upper flexible plate however, when I received the plate it did not bend it was solid similar to the priors.

A.
Im afriad that i do not carry … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
