One of my front tooth was knocked out 15 years ago and was replaced. However, it is now receeding and I sort of look like i have had a stroke on the right side of my face. Can this tooth be fixed to make a smile and face look normal again?,

What treatment other than braces is available for a crooked smile with gaps?

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Caplan, I am very interested in cosmetic dentistry because I have a crooked smile, I have 3 teeth that stick out and have gaps between them but I was told recently by a dentist that the only option open to me would be braces because the gaps are quite substantial and they stick out quite a bit. Could you tell me what you think. I would get braces if that is the only option but I would love to get something done as soon as possible, would I be able to get the 3 teeth removed and permenant false ones put in to create a better smile ? Thaks so much for your help Kind regards ,

I have been told different things by two dentists. Who do I believe?

Q.
Dear Dr Tennet I am at so so confused. I had a root canal treatment on my first premolar about 2 years ago. I didnt have a crown. Needless to say the remaining tooth broke after a year, first on the back. then at the front a year later. The embedded remaining piece which I assume being the filling, was loose. I had a white filling, I also had posts placed into my root canals. I first went to a dentist who said that nothing could be done in terms of having a crown, as what was left had been fractured, pointing to and showing me the loose bit that I myself earlier had discovered. Because of this the dentist recomended either an extraction, and the option between a bridge, denture or implant. I then went to another dentist, who said that I could have a crown fixed onto the tooth/ remaining piece even though this was a loose piece. I have really no idea what to do and who to believe and would really appriciate your help. Thank you, Kind Regards,
