What is the cause for other unit of bridge to feel rough?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Solanki I had a missing tooth at the back of my upper teeth, the front two had previously been veneered some 14 years ago and one tooth next to a front tooth was a crown. I wanted the crown replaced, a bridge to be fitted to fill the missing tooth and the rest of my uppert teeth, which were healthy, to be veneered. The dentist thought it best to replace the whole upper teeth with two seper bridges, one starting from the right front and one fron the left front, a total of 11 teeth. the bridge unit starting from the left is ok , feeling quite smooth, but the other unit feels rough.What is causing this and what would be the remedy, and also, is it wise to file down perfectly healthy teeth to take a bridge? Thanks

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
I am looking to have my 2 crowns replaced as they are beginning to look discoloured (fitted 18 years ago) and I have some gum receeding.

Is it possible to add veneers to existing crowns?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to add veneers to existing crowns? I have a fairly extensive bridge on my upper front teeth but have always felt that they are too flat and small compared to what my natural teeth would look like. I would love to have them longer and a bit more prominent and hoped that adding veneers may just be the answer? Many thanks,

My dental implant crown is moving slightly how can I fix it?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009
Q.
I have recently completed a 5-month treatment for two teeth implants (front top teeth). My review last week indicated from the x-rays that the implants are fine and there is no infection. However, there was slight inflammation around the gums near the implant crowns. I am due for another review in a couple of weeks time. However, today I realised that one of the crowns is loose and moves forwards and backwards slightly. I am very worried. The only think I can tink of is that it maybe due to my new electronic toothbrush which i have been using the last couple of days, but it has a pressure sensor so I know I wasn’t pressing too hard. Inflammation seems to have also cleared up. I have made an emergency appointment, but in the mean time is their a reason for serious concern? Is this problem fixable? Should I avoid brushing the loose crown and not bite with them? Thank you.

The most likely cause is the s… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I hv crowns replaced instead of dentures Plz advice

Thursday, October 15th, 2009
Q.
I have had a severe fear of the dentist after having a terrible experience around 10 years ago. Unfortunately in this time my teeth have gotten in to very bad condition, which I am really embarrassed about. After my front crown got caught at a dancing competition and broke, I decided I needed to take action and so I visited the local dentist. He devised a plan for me and I am currently on the waiting list to have the necessary teeth removed at the hospital and then all the fillings and treatment I need completing. I was however horrified with his advice to have my two front crowns replaced with dentures. I am 25 years old and devastated with this suggestion! There are crowns on my two front teeth at the moment(granted one is cracked) and I am in no pain. If I pay privately can I choose to have the crowns replaced? I understand that ultimately the dentists advice may be correct, however, I at least want to try! I would really appreciate your help, as I am so upset! Thank you in advance!
