I have my caps on my second front tooth and my gums are reciding again what can be done

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi I first have a question. When i was 11 i fell my front tooth came out and was put back in but the second front tooth next to it had to have a root canal at 18 i had it capped, within 6 months gums receded cap were really badly done,second time the caps were ok, but now my gums are reciding again and it does not look pleasant, am still very young, i fear losing my tooth in the process of capping and re-capping,i dont think tooth has a post. I was looking into your surgery and services as now that i can have all procelain cap without the metal plate, but is that a strong solution for a front tooth with root canal, are they as strong as porcelain with metal caps? i don’t want embarassing issues with a cap coming off? Do you provide this service, as i want my confidence back and want to come to someone who is a qualified dentist and a good cosmetic dentist please get back to me, i want to invest in my teeth wisely now that i can. Thank you

I have a bubble of pus on my gums how much does a valplast dentures cost?

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had an accident at work 3 years ago which knocked two of my top teeth out. My dentist left the roots in for over a year an a half. He has now taken one root out and I have a small plate. There is one root still in there and everyday I have a bubble of pus on my gum where the root is. I am in agony, I saw a specialist in Guys hosp and he says that most of my teeth are mobile. I also have a slight protusion in my front teeth. All in all I hate the way I look and would either like a valpast partial denture as I have no back teeth to chew with. How much does a valplast denture cost? Or what would you suggest,I dont want a brace for my front teeth so could I have a bridge from one front tooth back, and the same on the other front tooth back? I need some expert advice because my dentist is always in such a rush he never listens to what I would like. I live in Rayleigh Essex. thanks

Ive 3 teeth affected by gum disease can ive any treatment affordable than dental implant

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hi there I have bad gum disease which has effected 3 teeth at the bottom of my mouth. I have been to my dentist today and she suggests false teeth which I am trying to avoid because of my age (30) She also mentioned that a mould may make the teeth fall out and that I would be without for ten days which I am devastated about (due to work and insecurity issues, I cant be without them) if I was too consider implants, could I keep my teeth until then and how quickly can it be done ?? Also would it be a problem with the sore gums etc ???? Is there any cheap options available as I really cant afford to have this done however I would be distraught and my teeth loss will effect my personality and confidence on a huge level .. is there any dentist training schools etc that need guinee pigs ?? I would really appreciate your help Thanks.
