Can full dentures be produced using the iTero for someone who already has a full set of dentures? All I see on various websites is the Wand being used on patients who have their own natural teeth. I am desperate for new dentures but can’t face having the traditional method of impressions as last time I had them done I almost choked and it has put me off completely. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.
Dear Dr Hughes, I have a missing tooth in my front lower jaw. I would like to have this replaced but from experience have been unable to accept the impressions phase – I have a plate for the upper teeth, the impressions were done while I was put to sleep – this is not available to me where I live – I am 66 years old. Any advice you can offer me would be very much appreciated.
if dentures are required,how can an impression be made if the patient doesnt have enough own teeth?
I am to have a new dental crown and my own dentist is advising that I attend someone who specialises in cosmetic dentistry. They have said they no longer take impressions to make the crown and I have 2 appts in 2 days. Is this the norm these days?The crown I have is 10 years old and looking a bit dark at the margin. Also having teeth whitened prior to this.
can a mouthguard protect my teeth if the front two are fake crowns if i take boxing classes?
I have a crown on my right canine tooth,the root has an airline fracture,i have been to a private dentist who has taken several x rays and impressions,i was expecting him to say i could have a bridge,but he has said the root should be surgically removed. I also have 3 other crowns the left canine being one of them and the same has been suggested for this the root is not damaged on the left side.A plate with false teeth, I am in a state of shock there is no way I could tolerate a plate.Should I get a second opinion?.
Hi, I am 24 years old. I have been looking into having my teeth straightened for some time now. I am really unhappy with the appearance of my smile. I have had a consultation with an orthodontist and following x-rays and impressions I have been told that I have over crowding on both upper and lower teeth, my two front top teeth stick out almost 7mm more than my bottom front teeth so I am self conscious of this. I have a gap where one of my molars has been removed and my dentist said that this would cause a problem with invisalign braces. He advised that I have an implant after the orthodontic treatment. I was quoted between £5000-£6000 for invisalign or £2500 for fixed braces with clear brackets and told that they would be fixed for 12-18 months. As I am a teacher I am keen to look into the least noticeable options. Would you recommend the six month smile program? Ho much would it cost in the UK? I live near Cardiff. Thank you very much.
Had one top back tooth extracted two weeks ago and was pre prepped for a bridge due to be fixed later this week
my query is can the temp bridge be fitted before
gum has completely healed there is no infection but it has not closed up totally yet
