What is an alveoplasty?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
i would like to know what an alveoplasty is exactly, and what i can expect, pain wise, after it’s over. i had an extraction of tooth #18 done 3/18/10, and the site had to be gone into 3 more times due to continual problems i was having. my jaw bone is sticking out of the gum a bit, and i was referred to an oral surgeon. he informed me of what needs to be done, he will file the bone down and check the socket to make sure nothing else is going on, and as a result, this will stir things up again and delay the healing process. what can happen if this isn’t taken care of?,
A.
it might carry on being sore b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it possible to have my gums repaired somehow and also have veneers?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi. I have for fifteen years had a very noticable upside down V shaped split in my gum on my front top tooth. It came about following an absess which managed to split my gum and caused the gum yo recede. What’s visible is my tooth and what I assume to be part of the root. I’ve always been conscious of the problem and one or two dentists have mentioned referring me to a specialist but I’ve never taken them up. My front teeth now show signs of wear and the other front tooth has blackened following treatment of another absess. I’m thinking about veneers but am conscious that I would also like the gum repaired somehow. Is this possible (the gap at its widest is about 5mm and its about 7mm long).,
A.
