Is it normal to see black dots on the inside part of my newly fitted crown?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
I had a porcelain crown with gold on the inside, fitted to my upper molar. When I got home I noticed 2tiny blackish dots on the inside part of the crown, near the bottom. Since it’s not on the outside visible side of the crown I don’t care about the appearance. I am very worried that the dentist perforated the surface(yet it feels completely smooth) while attempting to fit it better to my mouth and bite line, and therefore weakened the crown. When I notified her of this she said that it was just the gold part peeking through and not to worry. I’m afraid she is not being entirely truthful. None of my other crowns have this marking. Help!!,

What can I do to fix my cracking jaw and my misaligned teeth?

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I am 19 years old and have already worn a brace for a long period of time a few years ago because I used to suck my thumb as a child. Although I have no gaps now i feel as though nothing is in line, i have no comfortable bite and quite bad problems with a cracking jaw (i cant open it without cracking and its sometimes painful) and my smile is squint and embarrassing. The jaw issue has only been for about 6-8months and I think it became a permanent problem after a filling I had but I cant be sure. Would you recomment that I leave it to sort itself out or does something need to be done? I get married in six months and dont want to be wearing a visible brace then.,

You could maybe have invisalig… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it safe to use veneers to solve my bite problems?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr. Moore, I am planning to have the veneers fitted mainly to improve to the wrong bite of my teeth. Is it safe to do or will the veneers keep braking and rapires be even more costly? My previous dentist has always advised me not to use the veneers. I am keen as I realise it will also improve my smile. Should I go ahead and have them fitted? I am 54 years old and keep dreaming of an improved bite and a smile. My bottom teeth are now begining to slide over the top teeth. I would appreciate your comments. Kind regards,
A.
