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

Friday, September 10th, 2010
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,

A tooth that was bonded on recently came out grey. What happened and how is it fixed?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Hoping you’re having a good day! My dentist bonded my upper front tooth to make it wider to close a gap. The tooth is between two other teeth that are attached to a partial. When he was finished bonding it…it was gray instead of white. He said he doesn’t know what went wrong, and told me that he matched it to the whitest color on the chart/strip they use. He took an xray, and I don’t have any root damage. What do you think went wrong? How does my dentist fix this? It is very noticeable as my other natural teeth are very white. Please help me. I hope I hear from you soon. I am seeing my dentist tomorrow! Thanks so very very much! ,

Should I have the infected tooth removed and replaced with a dental implant?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Moore Last year, One of my top teeth (the 3rd tooth toward the back starting with the canine) was re-crowned, the root canal retreated and an infection treated as well. 8 months later I have another infection and I’m due to see a specialist to see if the infection can be treated. The tooth has a post that cannot be removed. If the infection cannot be treated, the tooth will have to be removed. If it’s possible, would you say that it’s worth to clear the infection (by lifting the gum) knowing that it could be recurrent, or should I have it removed and and an implant placed? My dentist charges £4500 for an implant and I cannot pay that for one implant. What would you say the cost for an implant with a good dentist should be in London? What are the main questions I should ask when looking for another dentist that specialises in placing implant? I would really appreciate your help?,
