I’ve had a crown fitted and my bite is uncomfortable, would another dentist reshape or redo it?

Monday, January 24th, 2011
Q.

Hi doctor,
I had a crown put onto my teeth after a root canal treatment. However, I feel that it isn’t placed right and my bite feels different and uncomfortable. I want to know if I can go to another dentist and ask him/her to reshape it to make my bite feel more comfortable. My question is, will the crown be taken off and then put back on or will the doctor simply just reshape it using the burr? Also, would i need anesthesia for this procedure?

I had an implant crown fitted and the gum around it is receeding, what should I do?

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I knocked my front tooth out when I was younger and wore a bridge (one sided) for years. Last year (aged 28) I decided to have an implant fitted instead. It was fitted and my dentist had to rebuild the gum above. Anyways it all went ok and then last Sept he fitted my new porcelain crown. Over the last 8 months my the gum surround my teeth EITHER SIDE OF the implant has become very red and has started to receed. This is gum above 2 good teeth and not above the implant. The gum above the implant has receeded a little too but I think that is cause they had to rebuild it so much in the first place. My concern is as to why the gum is receeding above my good teeth. My dentist cannot figure it out but says it has nothing to do with my implant yet before I had this fitted there was nothing wrong. What do you think? Do you think it could be to do with the crown itself? Please help as Im worried I might start losing some teeth! Thanks,

A.

Please suggest an alternative treatment to PFM crowns

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011
Q.

I was involved in an accident where my four front teeth were broken.
My current dentist made porcelein fused to high noble metal crowns in conjuction with a local lab. The reason, he stated, for using PFMs was the ‘bite was too tight.’ I do not like the opaque monochromatic look, nor the metal in my mouth. Please advise if there is an alternative.

I had an operation to remove a cyst and because it has destroyed my mouth, I lack confidence, can you suggest treatment to correct this?

Monday, January 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi, i wondered if anyone could help me. I am 37 and gone through alot with dentists. I had a cyst growing in my mouth and was left to grow for 18yrs or more, when a new dentist came along i was referred to the hospital but i had to have a big operation. I had crowns already and missing teeth from the old dentist and lost all my confidence i hate my teeth. But, i have now no bone left in the roof of my mouth and the case was lost because of causation. I havent alot of money and i dont know where to go but my mouth is such a mess, i dont go out much apart from work cos i have really lost all confidence. Do you know any work i can have done that will reconstrut my bone, fix up the 4 front crowns and fill in the gaps along the top where my teeth are missing and sort out the fillings and discolouration from the rest of the teeth…or am i always going to be like this? i have been told my teeth have a life expectation of 3 yrs since the op which took place in feb 09…am really worried.
