My mother has dentures now is it okay to have 4 implants on the lower jaw and have bridges

Sunday, July 19th, 2009
Q.
My mother is 70 y.o. and has had dentures for over 20 years. However because of the poor quality (Soviet) of dentures and not being able to eat in them she’s eaten down most of the lower side bone. Dentists in a dental clinic in Dubai advised for the lower jaw to set 4 implants and put a bridge and denture on top of it. I would like to get a second opinion from you. Many thanks,

Ive a cracked tooth and my dentist said its need to be removed. Can it be fix using crowns

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I am a NHS patient and I had root canal treatment on a lower molar some time back, the tooth was filled and recently a small part of the filling fell out and subsequently the tooth cracked vertically in one place. I went to the dentist who stated the crack had gone quite far down so had to remove that piece of the tooth. I must admit I am incredibly anxious about needles/dentistry so my memory is clouded by fear, however following a quick break and a flick of a piece of my tooth round my mouth – the dentist has stated I need to return ‘when I feel like it’ to have the remainder of the tooth removed and then either have a £200 denture, £1000 bridge or £2000 implant. It is basically the outer front corner of the molar that has been remove. My question is – could this not be fitted with a crown? do the options they have offered seem reasonable – clinically and financially?

A.
If the tooth is unsaveable the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My permanent bridge is broken and my dentist says it is due to my grinding Is it correct?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Bohara, I have a permanent bridge put on by a dentist in 2005. In 2009, it is broken. I paid $3000. She says that the bridge broke due to my grinding. The bridge has also damaged the bottom tooth. I consulted another dentist and he says that the bridge should be replaced at no cost to me. I went to the original dentist and she said that because I grind my teeth I broke the bridge and also have worn out my bottom tooth. She said that she would replace the bridge for 1/2 the price of $3,000. What are dental patients’ rights???? I did not like her office and I did not like her. I’ve also moved and I’m now 3hrs away. Thanks for your guidance.

My hygienist put a drill to my dental bridge and now my tooth had rotten how can i fix it?

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Q.
During a dental check up I was asked if I wanted a scale and polish. I said yes to this during which the hygienist got the drill out and started on the bottom teeth(previously this had been done by hand) she then went to an area where I had a fixed dental bridge and put the drill to it. It scared me a little and I put my hand up to stop. When I was with a previous dentist he said he would leave that are whilst cleaning but always said that I was to keep it clean. I have actually had the dental bridge now for about 30 years. During my latest check up the current dentist said there was a hole around the dental bridge area and said i had a rotten tooth fixed to the dental bridge. I am not sure about this, I have no pain and wonder if the hole he talked about was caused by the hygienist using the drill in a delicate area- should she have done this? Thanks

The hygienist will have used a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi, im 22 and for years i have battled both anorexia and bulimia nervosa, i havent had an attack in 6 years. Due to all the excessive vomiting and lack of nutriants, i ruined my teeth and gums. Im needing alot of work doing on my teeth- wich has just started- and i keep asking my dentist for a dental implant to be put in where one of my teeth has come out but he keeps saying no, he’d bridge it.. Will a bridge last being anchored on two rotten teeth? or could i get the nhs to pay for the one implant to stop my teeth closing in on themselves and me needing braces? Iv been picked up by model agencies but im really self concious about the gaps in my abused teeth. what can be done?

My friend had type 2 diabetes and he cant have dentures bridges or screw. is there an alternative

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Q.
My friend has type 2 diabetes and has had some teeth out recently. He tells me that he does not think that he will be able to have dentures/bridges or screw in teeth fitted as his gums and bones are not good. Is there any hope and/or procedure for him that will allow him a full mouth of teeth? He only has one top tooth at the front with some at the back and most of his bottom teeth at the moment. His remaining teeth are not in good condition and are very stained/bad.
