Q.
Hi Dr, I had braces when i was a teenager so my teeth are even…but the shape of my gum line is quite pointed which makes it look like my teeth are still sticking out.

Monday, May 4th, 2009
Q.
For about 5 days one of my top left teeth has been feeling uncomfortable, the gum is tender and im sure the tooth is slightly wobbly.

It just seemed to happen all of a sudden. Im petrified of going to the dentist, the smell of the latex gloves is enough to make me gag. Do you have an idea of what it could be?

Would veneers be insufficient because of gum line areas of decay on the back of the teeth?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
I have 4 upper front teeth, candidates for crowns or veneers. I’d prefer to leave as much tooth structure as possible, leaning me toward veneers, but conditions primarily the location of the decay,may necessitate crowns.#8 is only slightly chipped, but between the 2 front teeth, 8 and 9,there is a cavity/filling right at the gum line and a slight gap between the teeth. Because of the location the filling keeps falling out and eventually the gap becomes evident from the front. There’s also a filling on #10 almost at the gum line. Would veneers be insufficient because of these gum line-areas of decay on the back of the teeth?

A.
This is very hard for me to te… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have had chronic gum disease is it possible to have bone graft and any idea of costs

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have had chronic gum disease, which was controlled by deep cleaning in the “pockets”. Things have now settled down, but several of my top teeth had to be removed as they were loose. I wear a partial denture (valplast), which is fine. I did ask my denist about implants, but he said I had too much bone loss. Apparently the only way forward would be a bone graft or something. Is this possible and any idea of costs. Many thanks for your help, regards
