Could you please analyze my teeth problem
Q. Several yrs ago I had 5 front teeth worked on. 3 are on a bridge 2 were on posts. 2 yrs ago one of the teeth broke off at the root (abssesed) and had to have it pulled. Now one of the front teeth which is on a post is loose. I went to a dentist and he tried to remove cap but couldn’t. He used what he called a blue bos. Felt like a hydaulic hammer. Now he says he will have to cut the cap off, replace the post & make a bridge for the front tooth, the tooth next to it (currently have to wear mouth piece and use one of my incisors for the bridge. My concern is what if the root which has had 2 prior root conals done on it (freak, yes) also breaks off at the root. The other side of this is fron tooth capped, next tooth capped, next tooth incisor tooth missing and part of bridge. So we are talking about my entire front teeth. I hope you understand and can help. I am worried. My dentist can’t get me in until Dec. 3rd, although he got me in in a week of never seeing him before and then again that very same day.
A. It sounds like you need to have the teeth fully assessed if they are that weak you may need to think about dental implants, which will provide you with new teeth and last a lot longer.
Dear Mr Patel
I am 62years old and have a partial denture. I am thinking of having dental implants and bridges as I have receding gums.
Is there necessarily a problem in the long run with someone of my age of the teeth not lasting or causing problems.
Hope you are able to help.
Also is there an option?
How much does a national health dentist (who has the necessary qualifications for this procedure) charge for this procedure per tooth? or is there an overall cost.

I have receding gum above a bridge and some receding on other teeth. What are my options for treatment.
Hi, I have lost my front right tooth had to be pulled out, all started when I fell as a child. Left front tooth capped, tooth next to front tooth both either side are vineered. I have been to see two private dentists one says definetly implant, bridge as second option. Other says bridge for best cosmestic out come and implant for the best function. I have hated my smile since I fell as a child, which option would look the best and be the best in the long term?
Hello. I had a slight capping applied to the front of my tooth by a dentist. The dentist did a good job and polished it after completion of work. There is some slight roughness present on the outside of the tooth – 3 hours after the procedure was completed. I contacted the dentist and I was told that this will wear away after time. I’m just a little concerned as the dentist I went to was not my regular dentist Many thanks
This roughness may smooth away as you brush your teeth. If it doesn’t, or you are concerned, consult with the dentist and ask to have it checked and polished again
