Should I go for 4 implants or invisible braces Plz suggest

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi, 6 to 7 years ago i had veneers privately done on my front 4 top teeth. i was pleased for the 1st year or 2 but over time they now look awful. i had braces for 4 years (not train tracks) when i was in my early teens as i had a large gap in my teeth and they pointed abit forward and made me look goofy, after time with the braces the 2 front teeth eventually crossed over so went from one extreme to another, i then had braces to stop the crossing and push them back, they soon became straight. after not having the braces on for about 2years i decided i wanted dental veneers as one of the front ones was badly discouloured and i thought they were to long! so i went ahead and had venneers as i said above i was happy at first but now the 2 front teeth have crossed again but even worst they point forward making my lip pertrude slightly!! i never imagined this would happen with vaneers but it has done! also i feel they have slightly come away from my gums with the movement and on close inspection you8 can see a gap and the very top of the veneers have a ruff edge and are black! i smoke around 8 day i realise this hasnt help, but they are now crooked, discoloured and come away from my gums, i really dont know what to do!! do you think 4 implants would be a good idea, i know it would vbe pricey and it very cliche of me to say but all i ever wanted was a perfect hollywood smile, i heard about the invisable braces but im not sure this would be right as i would still have to keep the veneers! please help!!! thanks so much in advance.

Will the root canaled tooth be sensitive if it cracks Plz advice

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
I had gum contouring done 3 weeks ago. On Friday (3 days ago), my dentist relined my temporary to add more acrylic along the gum margin where tooth was exposed. He tried to adjust the tooth (which had been root canaled) and the bur hit the tooth. After that, he applied bonding material to the tooth before replacing the temporary. Now the tooth is sensitive. He inserted the cord on gum when he relined the temporary. Could the sensitivity be from the gum tissue? If a tooth that had been root canaled crack, will it be sensitive? I am afraid to ask him but I hope it did not crack.

Is the pain due to sinus or crownless tooth?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Patel, I had a major sinus infection for about a week now. My dentist took an x-ray of #2 and #3 (both had root canals in the past with no complications)with no issues. Apparently, I have deep sinus cavities. Some info recently: #2 crown broke a month ago and was reordered for replacement next week. It’s been crownless. Now, #3 hurts bad. The dentist gave me pain relieve and antiobiotic. But #3 still #3 hurts. Is it sinus related? Is it becuase #2 crown is not there and things are shifting?

Hi Doctor, I live in a cold climate and have a very painful experience in my gums each time I have been exposed to the cold. The throbbing and shooting pains start about half an hour after the walk and last for about 15 minutes. The pain is in all my gums. My teeth also become very sensitive during this time.My gums and teeth, although there is gum receeding happening, are in very good condition. I have my teeth cleaned regularly, and keep my teeth very clean. Please help, what can I do?

I have receeding gums, can anything be done to correct this?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Q.
I now have the “Old-fashioned ectremely expensive complete top veneers – the type that they had to grind down all of my teeth. This was recommended because I had gum disease which was supposedly cured after surgery. Now, I have receeding gums – just one tooth at the top that shows my own tooth and the space between! It looks awful! Can anything be done to correct this?
