I cannot wear dentures – what would be the best replacement option?

Monday, March 15th, 2010
Q.
I am 35 years old.I am embarrased to go out in public and have aged fast from loss of all my teeth.I have dentures but can not wear them,the lower will not stay down and the top ones gag me.I lost all my teeth about 3-4 years ago and since I have aged fast I look like in late 40’s or 50.I never had deep wrinkles in my face till I lost my teeth.I had my teeth pulled even when the doctor told me they did not need to be pulled.Sounds crazy right,but reason was I could not afford fillings and was on medicaid and it covered to pull them.I did it because I had to have surgery and the only way to have surgery was I had to have no bad teeth in my mouth or they would cancel.After getting them out and went to have my surgery,they did not even check my mouth,what a mistake I made and ruined my life since.The doctor told me they did not need to be pulled but done it anyways and charged medicaid for full mouth of teeth being pulled.Now my mouth has sunk in like an old lady and forehead deep lines and lines coming everywhere.Is there affordable surgery to fix all this and get mini implants??Does mini implants work and stop more bone jaw loss?How to get fuller lips and deep lines gone?I have no insurance only medicaid and it dont cover nothing.What insurance to get to help with cost for all this?I need help fast and so imbarrased to go anywhere.I hate myself for this and wish I never had my teeth pulled.I have no job but need help.I stay depressed over this.Please tell me what I should do is there any help for me ??I am in SC and everything is so high here.Please tell me if it was you what all would you do to get your looks back and teeth.Please reply ASAP.Thank you,

Q.

Will home teeth whitening help to improve colour of discoloured teeth?

Monday, March 15th, 2010
Q.
My old Dentist always commented that I have very strong, healthy teeth. The problem is they are very discolored. I unfortunately do not have insurance right now, as I am a recent college graduate unable to find employment. I do attribute many of my unemployment issues to my truly horrendous teeth. After extensive web research, I believe my teeth are discolored due to a mild/moderate case of fluorosis. All of my teeth are the same yellow/brownish color expect for the top front two. The top half of these two teeth never change in appearance. The bottom half, at times, change from yellow/brownish to pure white/ Though, there is a thin discolored strip running down (vertically) one of the teeth. I believe these two teeth change in appearance due to “dry mouth” or dehydration. It is especially noticeable after a night out at the bar, where drinking too much alcohol would cause the dehydration. If you agree with my assessment thus far, my question should be rather simple. Do you think attempting at home whitening, with a product such as crest whitestrips, would cause further damage? i.e. make things looks worse…Or do you think attempting to use this product may help lighten my overall smile a few shades at least? I don’t want to have to get veneers, as i am in no financial position to afford them. I cant find a job without a better smile, or afford a better smile without a job. Quite the Catch 22 I’d say! Thanks for you time and expertise, Sir.,
