My crown has fallen out and after visiting a dentist I was told that my root filling is not all the way to the end of the root.
The root filling and crown were fited about 20 years ago. I have had no pain from the tooth. The dentist tried to drill out the old root filling but told me it was not possible to do so as the ‘cement’ is too hard to drill through.
She doesnt want to put a new crown on top. (Actually I also still have the old crown which she also doesnt want to stick back in). Instead she has recomended that I have a bridge, but I am not keen on damaging healthy teeth on either side.
I am totally confused and considering a second opinion when I came accross this website.
Is it so bad to have a root filling not to the end. I have not ever had any pain from this tooth since the crown was fitted all those years ago.
What can you recomend?
Many thanks in advance.

Do I really need to have my tooth removed when it doesn’t actually hurt?
Friday, February 10th, 2012How much will it cost to replace my broken teeth?
Thursday, August 18th, 2011I am 50 and havent been to the dentist for 30 years because of fear initially but now embarassment. Most of my teeth have broken off at gum level and i only have 2 left at the top and six at the bottom but they are all rotten as well. I have decided to try to get them fixed as i have barely been out the door in the last ten years. I just want to know can anything be done to help me and how much would it cost. Iread a story on the internet that it would cost about 10,000 pounds but theres no way i could pay that. Please give me some advice as i’m desperate.
What is the general cost of a Smile Makeover?
Thursday, August 18th, 2011hi there I’ve been looking on this website and reading thru and looking at the before and after pictures and think they are excellent. i’m 20 years old and i was wondering if you could help me out with a rough price range i have all my teeth except 2 gone from the side of my mouth on the left hand side, & one on the other side of my mouth right hand side, i also think that my teeth are a tad too far apart i have small but noticeable gaps in-between my front teeth and side, also they need whitening. I just want my teeth looking perfect. Kind regards
What would be the best way to fill in a gap between my teeth?
Thursday, August 11th, 2011I currently have a gap, top set, 5th from the front. I no longer want the gap as it’s effecting my confidence making me conscious when I smile. I have looked into having a bridge but didn’t know if I can if the teeth either side of the gap have fillings in and if not what are my options? I have had the gap for over 6 months. Also other than brushing, flossing, mouth wash, avoiding sugary foods as much as possible what else can I do to care for my teeth as they seem to be made of chalk and crumble!
I suffer from Amelogenisis Imperfecta, are dental implants my best option?
Thursday, July 21st, 2011 I suffer with amelogenises imperfecta, should I have to pay for dental treatment (if I suffered with my thyroids I would get free prescriptions for the foreseeable future).
I have previously had my teeth capped and obviously they now need doing again, a cost of which I will regularly incur throughout my life (I am now 40), so will be the 3rd time I will need this doing.
Would I be better of going down the root of implants?
How much would it cost to get my implants replaced?
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011Thinking of having the whole of my top teeth replaced my implants could you give me any idea of the total cost of this or is it possible to have a few done at a time. Is there any reasons why I may not be able to have them. I have a very old bridge at the moment which I have recently had repaired but this is very temporary so I need to make a decision soon as I am unable to eat anything hard to cause it to break again which I am very worried about. Dentures are not a option for me. How long a process is it for the implants to be complete?

Who’s the best dentist to fix my teeth?
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011 Dear Dr.Hughes,
I had a bad accident whilst I was living abroad for a short while at the end of last year. As a result I received problems such as fractured roots to some top teeth, I also had to have a bridge removed and teeth implanted which Im not currently happy with. Two other teeth top left hand side are now badly abscessed which means in me being in a lot of constant pain, in result I have been told that these teeth may need to be removed. But as I am a Flight Attendant and we are not allowed to wear dentures leaving my only choice as implants. Although luckily Denplan have told me they will pay for all treatment including more implants but I cannot find the right dentist for me. Please can you help me.
How much is it fro implants on my 4 missing teeth?
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011Hello,
I have recently been told that I need to have a 2 implants fixed for four of my missing teeth. But to be honest I agree with my dentist as I have had a four tooth metal plate for a long time now. I am 50 years old. I went to a private specialist a few weeks ago and have been quoted for placement of two implants at £1,900 and £180 for extraction of broken canine.
In addition the cost for a four unit porcelain bridge is £3,600. In total this comes to £5,580 – which feels a lot for me and is slightly more than what I was expecting to pay. I would like to know if this sounds about right in your opinion?
Many thanks
