I have periodontal disease and wobbly crowns can i just replace the crowns
Q. I have two crowns at the front of my mouth which I have had for approx 15 years. I would like them replaced – as I have periodontal disease and this has caused them to move. One of the crowns is slightly wobbly. Would I be right in thinking that if they were replaced this would resolve the wobblyness! My dentist (NHS) has said to take out my 4 front teeth and replace them with a temporary denture before having a fixed bridge. But surely it would be better to keep my own teeth and have the two crowns replaced wouldn’t it? I really do not want to have to wear a denture as I have very bad gag refelexes – I am only 38 – so surely it would be better to replace the crowns.Many thanks for your answer.
A. Hi L, many thanks for your enquiry, the problem sounds like it is your gums and not the teeth or crowns that is the problem. If you replace the crowns it will unfortunately not stabilise the teeth. It may be that your dentist is right in that it may be better to have the front four teeth extracted. However this does not mean you have to have a denture in the interim period. You could have a temporary bridge placed for three months till all the gum tissues heal. Then finish everything off with a final bridge. You could also look at dental implants depending on your budget.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Its hard to give you detail without seeing you for a full consultation, braces don’t have many complications however if you stick with your dentists advice and see a hygienist regularly you should not have too many problems with the treatment
My son has had a fixed brace for about 2 months. He had an accident last year in which his front teeth were chipped and one was quite badly damaged. He is due to have a root filling in it as it has been infected. The gum between his front teeth has become loose and bleeds. It is a bit painful, the gum behind his front teeth is also a little swolen and painful. The rest of his gums look fine. Is this because his teeth are moving back, and sort of leaving the gum behind?
It is due to the movement of the teeth but it sounds like he needs to work harder with his tooth brushing as poor oral hygiene can make the gum like this too.
Hi Can you advise as to whether there is a charge for a consultation and ifso how much. I am thinking of some sort of cosmetic dentistry but unsure of what would be best. Kind regards
My current dentist doesn’t have a hygenist service at present. Is it possible to attend a clinic for hygenist services only?
Hi, I am interested in having some cosmetic dental work. I am particularlyinterested in the following treatments: cosmetic veneers; dental implants (including crown); and invisalign. I would be very grateful if you could advise me of the approximate cost for each treatment. Kind Regards
could i just pay and come in for one dental treatment and get ALL the work done atonce, preferably with gas and no needles ?
id like to know the difference between veneers and crowns please
would like a quote for veneers, probably need the 3 front top teeth replacing

Hello, I am hoping to get my teeth straightened and pushed back. I had braces years ago but seem to be moving back to there old shape. The inman aligner would probably suit best. Can you tell me how much it would cost roughlyfor upper and lower. thanks
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to enquire about the likely cost of a root canal retreatment procedure. I had some work done on an upper tooth about 3 years ago, but there have been some complications since, resulting in my dentist draining pus from the infected area and suggesting that I seek out further treatment. All I require at this time is a rough indication of likely costs E28093 including consultation, treatment, etc. Yours faithfully,
Hi, I am interested in some form of cosmetic dentistry, I have a few teethmissing on my top row most notably on at the front. I have two crowns justnow at the front on top row.

Why does even when I clean my teeth regular does my mouth feel furred up and dry? Can you tell me which is the best toothpaste and mouthwash? Minutes after brushing and rinsing my mouth feels dry, can you suggest something to stop my mouth from becoming dry? I regularly visit my dentist 6 monthly to 1 year and oral hygienist which costs me £100.00, please please can you help, I would like to know which brand of toothpast you use and tell me why my mouth feel horrible
you need to go to your hygienist who needs to take a full mediacal history and look inside your mouth to check your gums, teeth and tongue as any of these can be causing a problem. They will then advise you on te best products for your condition
