I would like my 4 front post crowns which are built in a bloc replaced by 4 individual caps. Does the dentist have to replace the posts as well? Many thanks for your answer.,

Should I have veeners replaced due to receding gums?
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Q.
Hi, I had veneers put on my top 8 teeth about 8 years ago. Over time my gums have receded a bit and there is a visible line between my gum and where the veneer hits my tooth, one of them being a little bit dark. Only on my two front teeth though. I really don’t want to have them replaced at this time if I don’t have to. Is it possible to use white composite to fill the gaps? Will it hurt my dental health if I don’t have them replaced now? I’ve also read that they tend to “pop off” after you’ve had them replaced. Need unbiased advice on whether I should have them replaced or not. Thanks!!,

Can veneer be removed and replaced with better looking one?

I had bonding done 6 years ago on 2 chipped front teeth. Although it still looked good I decided to have it done again because there was some decay setting in. My dentist placed a veneer (unsure what kind) on another tooth next to the bonded one. I think he did it because it had a filling and the color didn’t match with the bonded ones. Unfortunately, I really don’t like the way it turned out. Can he remove the veneer from my normal tooth and how can he fix my smile after the work has already been done,

Hi there i have had top and bottom dentures since the age of 19 and am now 38. I have never had a set that actually fit properly. i recently lost a bit of weight and my dentures were too loose so i went to my dentist on the nhs and got a new set made which are unsuitable. She then made another set which are even worse ie bite feels all wrong, constant ulcers and sores on the bottom gum. She now says there is nothing else she can do for me. I cant even eat with the bottom set in. I am at my wits end and feel so frustrated. Do u have any ideas on where i can go next as i am constantly suffering. I really do hope you can advise me.,

I had root canals but should I consider implants?
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Q.
About 5 years ago I had an accident that required restoration to my front top teeth. I have one missing incisor because of that accident as well that is now bridged. I had root canals on 4 teeth that are now starting to need retreats because of infection. I’ve also been told that there is some decay on one tooth that might require a reconstruction of the whole bridge area. I have a few questions, 1. should a root canal last longer than 5 years? 2. How does tooth decay happen on a root canaled/crowned tooth and is it preventable? 3. I was 25 when the accident happened and was never offered the implant option, should that be something I consider now? Thank you in advance for your answers.,
