I have been suggested dentures and implants do I have other options?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have recently suffered a fracture to my upper right canine which had a cantilever bridge attached with a pontic for the lateral incisor. I have the same arrangement on the left upper side and two veneers on my central incisors. This is because I never got my permanent lateral incisors. My dentist says the only option for me is a denture or implants. I really don’t want to go back to having a denture but I don’t think I can afford implants. Would it not be possible to have another type of bridge using my front incisor and the canine for support? As What other options could I have? thanks

I want to have dentures but I am concerned too.

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I have chronic gum disease and have done for 20 years or more. Have gone through deep cleans but find it frightening, nerve wracking, emotionally upsetting all due to hate needles, loathe dentristy anyway ie: smell, tools etc and get in a panic to the extent I vomit whenever have finished suffering the treatment. I have asked for my teeth to be pulled out and replaced with dentures of which the dental hospital have actually listened. I am awaiting news from them now as they have to get an xray from my dentist and take it from there. I have thought about having dentures for years. Cannot go through another treatment of needles and scaling etc. I just can do it. It just keeps coming back and I am always being told off and made out that I am not doing what they ask and yet I do, I do everything and yet still the gum disease comes back to haunt me. My teeth are disgusting. Stained and gums very very sore. I have bone showing where the gums receded that much. Teeth are wobbly also. I feel a freak. I have done for ages and hate smiling. When you have dentures I know it is drastsic and I know it is a sore process etc but I want it done. What I want to know is can they say take out the top row of teeth and fit dentures and then do the bottom row of teeth so as to avoid having no teeth at all. I really want an end to this horrible problem and am getting very depressed over all of this.

Need the cause and solution for my overbite issue?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
Dear Experts, I have had 2 front teeth replaced by crowns and implants as a result of an accident. Unfortunately there are some discoloring at the top of the crowns where it meet the gumline which is unsightly. What can be done to rectify this? Also, it may sound silly, but it feels as if my teeth are too short and the bite is all wrong. My jaw and jaw muscles gets really sore when I close my mouth, trying to rest the top and bottom jaw on each other. So as a result, trying to compensate for the pain, I try and rest it on the front teeth. Unfortunately, then it creates an uncomfortable, clenching overbite. It is a very uncomfortable and painful situation and I would appreciate advice on how to correct this.

Firstly the crown may need rep… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Anxious to know exact condition of my teeth and treatment.

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Q.
I have quite a complex dental history and received 10 years of orthodontist care…. I had two operations when I was younger as I had an extra set of front teeth that were blocking the other set coming through. I had chains attached to my front teeth while they were still in the gums (am sure there’s a dental term for this!) and they were gradually pulled down with a brace. I didn’t get my front teeth properly until I was 17 and was brace free from 18, wearing a night retainer until I was 19-20. I had root canal treatment on my right front tooth approximately 18 months ago and then a replacement root canal 12 months ago…. through the NHS I requested to go back and see my old orthodontist at the dental hospital as I was concerned about the movement in my front teeth and how it had become discoloured. And I was unhappy with my NHS dentist… These are some of the comments made by my orthodontist in his letter to my regular dentist… I have: – a mild anterior open bite – somewhat spaced malocclusion – a mildly rotated left maxillary central incisor – a discoloured right central incisor I was discharged by my orthodontist but he is happy to see me again, and he has offered to correct the anterior and buccal spacing if this is something I wanted to persue. … and my gums are now receeding! My right front tooth has recently been causing me pain again and I am due to see my NHS dentist late december. At the last root canal treatment I had on my front tooth I also had it whitened but it has returned to its previous discoloured state. I have been thinking about veneers for a long time as I dislike the discolouring, wonky teeth and spaces BUT I’m a little bit clueless as to what would be the best option for me…. It is my two front teeth that concern me most, the discolouring and spacing. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

If the roots are stable then v… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
