How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
Friday, June 18th, 2010Can a little material be added to my bridge so that my bite will be even on both sides again?
Friday, June 18th, 2010Q.
I just had a new permanent bridge and crown put on the upper left side of my mouth (with tempoarary cement). The problem is that when I bite down, the teeth on the left side don’t touch. It’s like the bridge is a little too shallow. Can a little material be added to the bridge so that my bite will be even on both sides again?,

The tooth that had the root canal treatment is now decaying, what treatment options are available to me?
Thursday, June 17th, 2010Q.
I have a front tooth which was replanted 30 years ago following an accident. It has had root canal treatment but is now decaying and my NHS dentist is about to either recommend a crown (NHS) or implant (private treatment). I am currently pregnant to must wait for the xray. What is the protocol on getting a second opinion and exploring the possibility of an implant specialist doing the work rather than my existing NHS dentist? If I consult a private clinic what would be the cost of a consultation and necessary xrays etc – and could I ask my own dentist for copies of x-rays?,

Is it possible for me to have dental veneers when I have an implant on my front tooth?
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010Q.
I am interested in having venneers but wondered if it is possible as I have an implant in my one front tooth. Not sure if veneers can be applied over an implant? Or what other proceedures can be done?,

Does my tooth need extracting?
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Q.
I have 1 (single) crown in my mouth #3 tooth. It is all porcelain. I have no metal fillings…. A 5 year old crown was removed and replaced 7 months ago because it was itching and aching dentist said maybe it was an allergy to the metal under the porcelain so we would replace it will all porcelain. Since the procedure I have been in pain. Loud crack was heard upon removal of crown. Dentist said it broke down too far but there was nothing we could do about it. Tissue was red and inflamed upon removal of crown. Burned and ached when tempory was placed. Endodontist said that it looked like the tooth could be re-absorbing (sp?). Have had a sting in the distal part of the tooth for 7 months. Was told that the distal root was sensitive and bleeding and needed a retreat root canal. Endodontist said the distal root had a black ring in the gutta percha used to fill canal. This was removed and replaced and I was told that the bacteria was causing the sting. Topical on tissue takes away the burning sensation for a short period of time. Oral Medicine doctors did allergy test to see if the sting was actually being caused by an allergy. Test proved negative. Oral Medicine said maybe a piece of cement was in the distal part of gum because the tissue bled when the explore was used. Periodontist evaluated tooth and the tissue around the tooth and the tissue had 4-5 pockets around the crown (All other tissue is healthy 2’s) Periodontist completed a crown lengthening because the tooth was broke down too far and had improper margins. Hurts to bite down on anything hard or crunchy. Tooth is sore to touch with tongue. Tooth aches and or stings in the distal part of tooth CONSTANTLY.(Sometimes I will have referred pain on the tissue next to #3) But mostly it is concentrated around only this tooth. Oral Medicine doctor said maybe it is Neuralgia but never did any diagnostic tests. Dr. put me on Gabapentin that did NOTHING for the pain instead just made me feel drugged. After 2 weeks I was still in pain and my friend had me make an appointment with a neurosurgeon. After reviewing my case he did not believe I have TN…I asked and was instructed on how to wean myself off of the Gabapentin. I visited my GP doctor last week. She contacted my neurosurgeon through email as she is also a U.W provider. He did not think he could help me. And I surely do not want to take up his time with unnecessary appointments. I am praying I can get your blessing and know that it is O.K. based on my history and symptoms to assume this is in fact is a tooth issue. I do not want to spend my time in any more pain just because another specialist wants to make a heroic effort to save a tooth that in reality is not going to get better…. In a nut shell…. Pain is the same as it has been during the 7 months…Constant sting/ ache. I do not have any triggers such as wind, cold, and eating on the opposite side of the mouth is completely comfortable even therapedic. It is just the left side #3 crowned tooth that is uncomfortable to chew on. A sharp pain is caused when I bite down and then slowly subsides. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon to evaluate the tooth for extraction tomorrow. This pain has had a very negative effect on my overall health. I have not wanted to exercise in 7 months because of the tooth hurting, yet eating is not a problem (on the opposite side) so I have gained 25 pounds. My blood pressure in October prior to the tooth’s pain was 117/76 it is now 159/90. Is it safe to say this is a tooth issue? I am allergic to iodine and would prefer to not chance a test that could pose a risk if this is truly just a tooth that needs to be extracted…Please advise…. Your thoughts are very much appreciated!!!! Thank you so much!

Would a mouth guard protect my dental crown whilst snorkeling?
Thursday, May 27th, 2010Q.
I have a front crown and a few weeks ago it came out. My dentist temporarily fittted it back in but I’m going away on holiday before I get if permenantly fixed and would like to go snorkeling. I’m afraid that I may dislodge the crown and lose it. I was wondering if I bought a mouth guard, do you think that would protect the crown and if so what would be the best one to buy.,

Is it difficult to colour match with a crown when only doing one front tooth?
Monday, May 24th, 2010Q.
I broke my front tooth completely in half when I was about 8 yrs. old (I’m 39 now). A root canal was performed on the tooth, and bonding was done to repair the break. The tooth has a grey look to it now, and I went to the dentist today to check into having the bonding redone. The dentist told me that he would never do bonding on the tooth to change the cosmetic appearance, because of the fact that I had the root canal. He said the bonding would still look grey. He suggested a crown, but I’ve read that it’s very difficult to do a color match with a crown when only doing one front tooth. What would you suggest?,

I have a large hole in my front tooth, how much is it going to cost to have it fixed?
Monday, May 24th, 2010Q.
I have a tooth in front that has a big hole on the surface, it doesn’t hurt or anything like that. It’s just not very attractive. I want to get it fixed but because the hole is pretty big I fear that it will be taken out. Can they fill the whole or something like that? If so about how much will it cost.,

I’d like my teeth to look whiter, what do you advise?
Thursday, May 20th, 2010Q.
Hello, Since being a young age i have suffered with my teeth, for some reason they use to decay and discolour quickly. At the age of 8 i fell and broke my two front teeth of which i now have a cap and bridge. I could never understand what cause my teeth to be like this as i always had a good diet. A few years ago my teeth starting improving and i went to a new dentist, she told me i had some sort of disorder which caused my teeth to decay and discolour, do you know what this is called?. As you can imagine it was a relief to find out that it hadn’t been my fault, i am conscious of my teeth now and would love to have them whitened, i looked in to this but have recently been told that my cap and bridge can not be whiten. They are naturally a little whiter than my naturally teeth but i was just wondering if you thought it was possible for them to lift a little lighter. If not what would you advise.
