i have had many fillings on my tooth would an implant be better

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Q.
Hi doctor, I have had a five year ongoing saga with one tooth (lower jaw third from back). I had a gold filing for over ten years untill it needed replacing. It was replaced with a white filing which sensitized the tooth. A root filing was done but some of the root was left in which resulted in numerous visits to dentist and dental hospital till discovered and removed. A white inlay was applied which was too high, when removed the tooth had fractured. All that is now left is the front wall of the tooth. A new white inlay was fitted , which has come out twice this year. I feel unable to eat normally on this side. I finally came to terms with having the tooth out but when I discussed this with my dentist he suggests just filing it! This has been a lenthly and expensive time. I am now considering my options and wondered about an implant as my other teeth are in good condition. I would very much appreciate an experts opinion.

Some teeth would be suitable f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a unsightly smile missing teeth broken teeth and want to smile again

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Q.
I have the most unsightly smile ever, i am 35 years old and have had this problem for a few years. I could not tell you when i was last able to smile as I really don\’t remember. i have 9 missing teeth and 4 broken teeth, all the broken teeth are at the front of my mouth (my smile teeth) and it is so embarrassing. The worst thing is i have always brushed my teeth, i don\’t eat sweets, i don\’t drink fizzy drinks, yet my teeth look like this. I am far to afraid of dentists to even go there, this i have tried on many occasions but every time i get to the dentists chair i make my excuses and leave. I would love to be able to smile again, but i know that i would not be able to afford it in this lifetime, how could i ever be able to smile again??

First of all, if you are nervo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
