Cost for reconstructing my teeth following periodontal disease

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I am about to start looking for a dentist to do some reconstructive work on my teeth. I am about to lose many teeth due to genetic periodontitis. I am willing to have some existing teeth pulled if it makes the procedure easier – I do not hold out much hope for most of them. My preferred option would be bridges secured by implants, if possible. Can you advise me of the options I may have and the cost implications of same.

Does cerec bridges have any advantage?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
I have a missing tooth needing a bridge. I have been advised that a CEREC replacement would be better than a normal bridge because the CEREC materials are chemically bonded to your neighbouring healthy teeth. This would enable my dentist to save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible. Is a CEREC bridge preferable as it allows the dentist to save more of your neighbouring healthy teeth?

A.
I would not advise a Cerec bri… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What are the options for my post accident dental issues?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Q.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. basically i had an accident while playing football which has led to me losing over half of one of my front teeth and the other front tooth being pushed back out of place. also along with that my bottom teeth are quite covered in plaque and rotten due to many a years cola drinking without looking after my teeth and they have become quite rotted and were also slightly pushed back in the accident and feel quite sore. ive not had a dental visit for 12 yrs until i had emergency surgery the day after the accident and all the dentist did was pull my front tooth forward again and glue it to the tooth next to it aswell as to the snapped tooth which he appears to have just covered in glue aswell to stop me cutting my mouth open on. i really dont like the sound of having false teeth put in place as my front teeth top ot bottom but it seems i may lose most of them if this repair work wasnt successful and if my bottom front teeth cant be saved. what are my options as im a unemployed nhs dental user. thanks for yor time

Could you please analyze my teeth problem

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
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.
