Friday, June 5th, 2009My root canal front teeth looks very bad would a veneers be a more suitable option for me?
Friday, June 5th, 2009Q.
I have a dead front tooth, its a root canal and also has a bad looking filling in it. Is there anything I can do to make this tooth look alot better and natural. I paid alot of money last year to have inside outside bleaching and whitening of all my teeth but the one front tooth looks worse than ever and now my dentist wants to cap it. I am not sure this is the best thing to do. Would a veneer be more suitable? Thank you for your time and help.

one of my crown post is damaged and replacement is not suitable. Should i have implants?
Friday, June 5th, 2009Q.
I have 4 upper front crowns fitted a number of years now. One of the crowns is lose and on seeing my dentist he has informed me that the crown post/root is damaged and a replacement crown/post is not suitable. He has recommended that I have an implant done and further more has suggested that I replace all four front upper crowns with implants now as over time all 4 posts will become defective. He has suggested that the cost will be around £10,000.00 for the work. Do you think that this advice is sound and is the best and only option open to me ?

I have radiation induced xerostomia and i lost most of my enamel what are the long range options
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Q.
I have radiation induced xerostomia. My dentist tells me that the enamel is nearly gone (almost all of my teeth have been effected). What are my options for treatment. I don’t have cavities YET. It does hurt to chew crunchy foods and sometimes to brush my teeth. I am already using daily flouride trays and floss multiple times a day. My concern is for long range planning. My dentist would like to do a few crowns every year. I don’t want to put that kind of money into my mouth if the crowns aren’t going to last forever. Ideas?

My front tooth was filed down to be even can they be lengthened when the crown are put on
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Q.
I broke my front two teeth when I was young and they had to be filed down to be even. I had a root canal on one of the front teeth. Can they be lengthened when the crowns are put on them? There is a space between my top and bottom teeth in the center when I smile.

I tried whitening my teeth and now the teeth are extremely sensitive what do you advise
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009Q.
Hello Dr Patel, I needed my crown replacing as the old one had cracked & I decided to whiten my teeth first. My dentist provided the tooth whitener & trays. My teeth were so extremely sensitive after a couple of tries it was unbearable. My dentist said she had never experienced a patient with such sensitivity, she advised me to only use it once or twice a week, also to put sensodyne toothpaste into the trays & leave it in overnights. Eventually I had to give it up after using 6 ampoules.My teeth seemed to settle down a bit so I had the temorary crown placed & started suffering with extreme sensitivity to all my teeth, from cold only, I put up with it for 2 weeks then had the new crown put in. That was nearly 4 weeks ago & the pain carries on. I have noticed it worsens when I have to use a nasal spray for hayfever ( beconase ) or a decongestant. In the last few days apart from all the zinging in my teeth, also feeling like I am biting on tin foil, there is a bit of a dull ache in the crowned tooth. I keep hoping this will all settle down on it’s own, but am beginning to wonder if I should go back to my dentist, what do you advise ? Thank you

One of my crown has worn out and my dentist said it is due to the grinding habit is it true?
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009Q.
About three years ago I had my two lower back teeth crowned as well as two top teeth (next to each other on the upper right side). My back teeth were weak from grinding that used to happen from the stress from grad school. The upper two, one had a root canal and the other had a deep cavity. I got the porcelain crowns with gold underneath. I had nothing but problems with the crowns ever since. The back two almost completely crumbled all the way around the tooth less than a year after they were fitted. The upper tooth with the root canal had a small chip during the first year as well. The other crown has been fine. The dentist redid the back two crowns once. One has been fine. The other has a small round chip which appears to be worn from my bite. I have been back numerous times over the past fews years regarding these crowns. The dental director I spoke with last said I could have the crown redone again, and that it looked like it wasn’t fit right. They scheduled me for another appointment. When I went, the dentist who was supposed to do the work acted totally unprofessionally and told me that this “would be alot of work,” and that he “didn’t feel comfortable” about redoing my crown a second time. I ultimately told the dentist that I didn’t feel comfortable using their services and asked for my medical file. The crown that I have a problem with is regarding the wear down in a pattern which clearly appears to be consistent with my bite. If not fit right, that seems to be the reason why the crown is worn in that manner. The dentist insisted now that it was from grinding. I haven’t grinded my teeth for quite some time, and when I did, I could tell due to jaw pain. My boyfriend also said he’s never noticed it. My question is whether a crown with a worn down spot appears to be more from being improperly fit, as the director suggested during my last visit, or whether it sounds like grinding? I find it somewhat hard to accept that I am grinding, since like I said, it was very noticeable when I did it previously. It seems like the dentist just didn’t want to fix my tooth. That’s why I am switching dentists to someone who is willing to fix my teeth/resolve my dental issues and not make me feel uncomfortable. Any insight you may have will ease my mind after a very stressful dental visit. Thank you so much. Sincerely,
