I have lost my front tooth is dental implant the right option

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi Rob I want a permanent solution to my smile. I had an overbite when I was a kid and to correct this I had porcelain crowns in my upper jaw. Since then I have lost my front two teeth which has now been replaced by a platics denture, which is annoying and affecting my eating. After lots of research I think my answer is a dental implant. I do smoke and also have HIV (but my health is good) Could you please advise what options would be avaiable to me. I would like to try and keep costs down and wondered what would be avaiable at what price. Kindest Regards

Q.
How succesfull is root canal treatment on front crowns, which were placed originally well over twenty plus years ago, with metal posts and no previous root treatment. I have been having problems and need to have I believe posts removed before treatment. I have had one of my front crowns recently out due to absess and constant pain, and replaced with a dental implant. I am left with the other three front sensitive crowns now., do I treat roots with expensive specialist endodontics work which I am not sure of success or remove crowns… and have another implant placed and bridge work attaching, already in place dental implant. please advise on cost of both treatments approx….

Should I consider implants over braces I have time issues?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
One of my front teeth is not aligned with the others because it was taken out a little bit late in my childhood years while removing the milk teeth. Now am 28 and I would like it aligned with the other teeth. Braces take a long time to realign teeth, thats why I wanted to choose a dental implant. What is the process of getting a dental implant and its advantages or disavantages over the other methods.

Braces can take as little as 8… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My porcelain teeth has broken twice what could be the cause?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I have a dental implant on my front tooth. the porcelain tooth has broken twice, once biting on an apple and lastly biting on a provita cracker. the metal part of the implant did not move and x-rays show it’s still totally inplace (I had bone graft taken from hip 1 year prior to implant placement) My question is could it be due to poor quality porcelain? what else can cause it to break in half widthwise twice? should I avoid biting on any hardish food in future? I do not grind my teeth at night. There is no stress pressure apparent from biting down against lower teeth. It’s a bit of a mistery to my dentist too!

It may be a material issue but… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Best solution to fix new bite?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.

I m interested in permanent fangs which one is better option veneers or implants?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q.
I am interested in permanent fangs. I’ve heard of two options– one where you can have your teeth sanded down to a certain point, and have veneers placed over them, and they would be like that, permanent, for 15 or so years before they needed to be replaced. And then the more expensive sort– titanium rod implants where the actual bone is modified to give VERY permanent-no-changing-your-mind-later fangs. Is there any more infortmation on these? More specifically, I’d like to know about the former, because I am interested in having it done. Are these permanent to the point where they will not fall off even eating tough things such as steak? To sleep with them on, and have them until the 15 years or so is up? Can you give any more infortmation about these, and if you do them? For how much, if so, and every fifteen years, will I have to pay again? And in the event that I may want to switch over from these to the titanium rod fangs– could I? Thank you.
