Q. Hi doctor, I have had ongoing problems with my teeth for many years, e.g. a small filling, then larger aone then crown then the post crown snapped and i had tooth extracted… i moved onto a maryland bridge as not to effect good teeth…. this has been a similar story for alot of my teeth,,,, at times my crowns have felt low…as i clench my teeth when sleeping i feel that this has put pressure on my teeth over the years and i am now left with only two teeh on my right lower side and one of those is a crown… I am now going down the implant route, overall I need maximum 4 or minimum two, however I am worried that my clenching will cause the same damage to the implants??? Also, I do really like my dentist however, I dont know whether to get a second opinion, as I feel disloyal and would I really use another dentist as I have been with my dentist for 20 years….. but do I know whether she has provided my with high quality treatment ???? My dentist used to be nhs and treatment felt rushed as she was very busy, (the practice is in the most prestigious area in the city)… Now as a private dentist it still feels rushed?? are these good signs??? I feel so vunerable right now and unconfident…. I have looked for information on what makes a good dentist but to no avail as information is very broad and non specific….please help
