my bottom tooth will be hitting against my implant

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
I went to dentist to get an implant on tooth No.7. He previously did a bone augmentation but when he opened the gum he said there was not enough bone to do the implant. He went in there and put some more now I have to wait another 4 months. He also says my bottom tooth will be hitting against my implant in the future cause bottom tooth is crooked and sticks out. He suggest I get a crown but I don’t want them to file down my good teeth. He thinks I may damage the implant ina the future. What should I do??? Thanks.

My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
I have got clearstep braces which is costing quite a bit but because of this treatment I need to stay with the dentist I have however before my braces I had to undergo other necessary work, ie fillings in two back lower teeth and a crown on another back lower tooth which he claimed needed redoing. My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable. My dentist says just use sensodyne toothpaste and it will be okay??? I have been doing this for six months now! On the other lower side (new fillings) I have had terrible toothache with swelling which he said was an abscess, gave me amoxicillin which did’nt get rid of it! I have now been told to go back after christmas! I am still in agony, my face is swollen and I am unable to eat and now looking forward to a very painful christmas. I don’t know what to do as I have so far spent thousands of pounds and don’t really want to go elsewhere, what can I do to ease the pain?

Will NHS fund the metal crowns for my front and back teeth?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I wonder if you can help answer my question. I have Sjogren’s syndrome (now being successfully treated) which has caused extensive enamel erosion and badly damaged many of my teeth.My dentist has recommended crowning approximately 7 teeth,including both incisors and molars.I am exempt from nhs charges due to disability, however he tells me that I will have to pay approx £300 per tooth crowned unless I am willing to have metal(gold) crowns.I want to clarify the nhs position on repairing severely damaged teeth re porcelain/white crowns – your own site and other DOH information seems to suggest that these are available in this kind of situation? Also to clarify, if not, is it possible for me as a patient to “top up” the cost of providing the metal crowns(i believe £198) which the nhs would cover, to allow me to have the porcelain/white ones? many thanks

Is there a way o stop grinding? What are the options if crowns cannot be refitted?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am in my early 20’s and had 8 porcelain crowns (costing a small fortune!) on my upper front teeth about 4 months ago. The reason for this was mainly cosmetic as I grind my teeth at night and had severely damaged them over the years. My bite is ‘out’ (so I am told) therefore could not have veneers. The problem I have now is after originally adjusting my bite, I am now continuing to grind my teeth at night. I do wear a guard for this but can still notice the edges of the crowns becoming flattened and worry that they will not last me the year! My question is what should I do now? is there a way of putting a stop to my teeth-grinding? how many times can crowns be refitted and what are the options when crowns can not be refitted…false teeth? I would be extremely grateful for your help.

I have a missing upper left molar I have been recommended to have a bridge. What are my options

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I have a missing upper left molar due to the fact that I had acrown fitted which did not take. I have now been recommended to have a bridge fitted, but do not feel that I have had the different types explained to me. I have been quoted £450 & £600. I have been told that one of the proceedures is called Maryland but after reading the details on the website I am even more cofused, The procedure shown to fit a bridge seems to consist of two crowns with a false tootha attached would this be the higher quote do you think. What procedure would you recommend? Regards
