Is it possible to bleach teeth on dental crown?
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009What are the better adhesives that can secure crown and post?
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009Q.
I have a front top central tooth fitted with a crown with post, I had it fitted many years ago but recently the post bent forcing the tooth forward. I’m told by my dentist this was because of my overbite. He removed the crown & post and made me a new one. The new crown & post will now not stay in for longer than a few days, even though I’m not biting on it. Are there more expensive / better adhesives that could be used to secure it?

Advice on gap between the back of the crowns and gums
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Q.
I had an absess in my upper gum and even after treatment my tooth began to darken, last year I told my dentist this was a problem as it was at the front of my mouth and showed when I smiled. He chose to fit a crown, this was done last year and although I am getting used to it it still does not feel right. I have just been to a check up and mentioned my concern to my dentist but after checking it he says it is fine. I feel like there is a gap between the back of the crown and my gum and fear food, fizzy drink etc are getting in behind it, is this normal to feel this?

Advice over matching of new and old crowns
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Q.
I recently broke a piece off a back tooth on which I had root canal treatment a few years ago. Both of my front teeth are crowned and I was also experiencing a little “vibration” in one of them. On visiting my dentist yesterday and after taking x-rays, she says the root canal treatment I had years ago was “incomplete” (it was done at the same practice but by my previous dentist who has now left) but there is no decay so recommends just a crown as there is not enough tooth left to fill. As for the front crown I have an infection for which she is recommending root canal treatment and a new crown. She has quoted me £450 per crown plus £360 for the root canal treatment Initally I thought this sounded very expensive but after a bit of research have accepted these are probably the right prices – however my main concern is that the new crown will match the one next to it? I should be grateful for your opinion on the treatment recommended and the price – and is there a chance they won`t match? Thanks you for your time.

Options for straight beautiful teeth for the older people
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Q.
I am 61 years old and as seems to be with many older people I have considerable movement of my lower teeth resulting in them bunching in the front. My upper teeth now also appear to be moving and I would like to have them corrected. Is this possible? I should say I enjoy good health both orally and physically and participate in regular excercise and have never smoked. I visit the dentist for check ups regularly but have been told I am too old to bother with this. Your opinion would be appreciated.

Im 33 and have gappy teeth would u suggest dentures or crowns?
Friday, September 11th, 2009Q.
Hi, i am a 33 year old male with very gappy front teeth. Not just the front two, but most of the upper teeth have gaps which obviously affects my confidence. Having consulted my dentist and had my teeth impressions sent to the lab, was told 4 to 7 crowns would be the best option and due to my age, a partial denture would not be recommendable. The cost involved was quite daunting however, i acknowledge that a smile for life is priceless. Do you agree that at my age this would be the best course of action to take, and a partial dentutre should be avoided. Many thanks.

My teeth are badly rotten can i get treated for implants at NHS?
Thursday, September 10th, 2009Q.
Hi, I’m 22 years old and i have a big problem with my teeth, my teeth have always been weak but since I’ve had my two children they have gone really worse, the front of my teeth have badly rotten and are falling apart, I’m extremely embarrassed and scared to go to the dentist as I’ve had bad experiences with them, i have had some teeth out already at the back, i was just wondering if there is any way these teeth could be saved or if tooth implants are possible for me on the NHS as I’m only on benefits, thank you for taking the time to read my question
