Im 58 yrs old, Im currently being denied by cigna from getting a total of 9 implants over the pst 6 yrs Ive had fillings, and crowns only to have issues with them. My teeth are sensitive to hot and cold ,and i cant eat any thing like a hard potatoe chip due to hurting my gums here no teeth exist. Ive spent over 5 K and crown and bridges keep coming out .so i opted to get implants. Only to be denied saying they will approve dentals.I have great coverage with cigna. ,all at the same time my co-workers have getten the same procedure done and to a greater degree. Some person in a insurance company based upon some xray makes an opinion to determine approve or deny. They have no ideal what i go through not being able to eat select foods sentivity. what do you recommend and where can i go to persue the matter .Even my dentist appealed to the insurance company stating that he highly recommend the implants.is there an agency to help my fight the insurance??

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012What happens during the healing process when the implant is integrating with the bone?
Monday, December 3rd, 2012Hello and can you help. I have read through all the benefits but I would like to know What are the disadvantages of a single dental implant to replace front tooth.
what happens to the gap while the implant is integrating.
The tooth was crowned 6 years ago but now has micro fractures following a fall.
thanks
this ps is because I have to submit four hundred letters ant I feel that there is nothing else that needs to be said. I fell, my tooth was moved, I will loose the tooth soon I want to understand this option. Please let me know.
What ways are there other than braces to fill tooth gaps?
Thursday, August 2nd, 2012HI, i had a tooth extracted from each side of my mouth, these were different teeth of either side. I have had braces on for over 18 months now, and the gaps have are not closed, one the one side the gap is quite significant. I am a dancer, so having good teeth are quite important as i can’t work with the braces on. My orthodontist says that the gap is going to take a long time to close, but i cant have the braces on for any longer. My dentist is wondering why my orthodontist took my teeth out in the first place. so i was wondering if there was any way of filling the gaps on both sides, one side is larger than the other. I dot mind what happens as long as it isnt orthodontics, because i need a fast solution and have had braces on for long enough . Thanks 🙂
I have neglected my teeth because of dental phobia, can veneers fill in the missing teeth?
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012hello dr moore i would like to start by telling you that i am very scared of going to the dentist and because of this i have neglected my teeth in the past , i have now decided to have my teeth repaired before its too late. i watched a program on tv last night about instant veneers and i am very interested about them because there isnt any drilling or pain involved (which is why i have being missing my dentist appointments in the first place). i have some of my side teeth missing and i was wondering if i could i have instant veneers to fill in the gaps or would i have to go to the dentist to have new teeth screwed in first then have the veneers that go over your teeth thanks for your time.
Can I correct my smile with orthodontics rather than using veneers?
Monday, April 16th, 2012Hi,
I have regional ordonto displacia ( not sure on spelling). I was diagnosed at 3years old. I have it in my upper left quad and only 4 teeth there (that have grown through for a 3rd time). These teeth have been brought forward using orthodontics and then capped to reshape them to their new function. The front tooth however is an implant.
I have always been self concious of my teeth/smile and since my treatment finished 4 years ago at the age of 21 I have little more confidence. The problem I have is that my implant is smaller than its natural partner and the line of my implant and caps goes up! Meaning that all the teeth on that side a smaller and not symmetrical to my normal side. My centre line is also slightly over to my left.
I just want to know what I can do to have a perfect smile to be proud of, after so many years I am not keen to have veneers as these will render my previous pain worthless.
the work done is great and I’m very grateful but I still can’t bear to look at my teeth up close.
the caps are also now cracking… HELP?
