How good is to replace old fillings with white fillings

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a filling on either side of my top set of teeth and I feel that they were not done very well. They really stand out against the rest. I would love them to be replaced to look white rather than the grey/black they are at the moment. I wondered what my best course of action might be and whether you could advise me further?

How much does it cost to do a dental refilling?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Q.
Due to an old filling falling out, but not giving any pain, just a hole,at the base of the tooth. I told the Dentist that I was able to still eat nuts with this tooth! The Dentist gave me a white filling. I rested the new filling for two days. However I am now unable to eat anything using that tooth. I went back to the Dentist complaing about the filling. The Dentist removed some of the top part of the filling incase it was a bit proud. I went back again a few days later with the same problem, he shaved a bit more off the top of the filling. Still no change re eating with this tooth. Could it be that a nerve has been pinched when the filling was done? Can it be put right? Will this be a costly thing? and should I return to the same Dentist or find another local one?

A.
I would remopve the whole fill… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

After tooth filling my upper teeth are slightly tilted plz advice?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had my first crown installed over a tooth that had broken. I was not in pain, it was a tooth that had been filled years ago. The tooth is a bottom, left, two teeth back from the canine. In any event, I have developed a slight lisp since the installation and it appears that my upper teeth are tilted (with the right side being lower). I went back to the dentist, he said he sees nothing wrong but that he would redo the crown if I wanted. He also offered the explanation of perhaps that perhaps air is now channeling differently through my mouth due to the width of the crown being less??? Is thsi a common occurence?

Not really, but as it is being… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
