Recently done teeth crown causing chewing and biting problem.

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Q.

Is sub-standard material used for making dental bridges?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had a bridge fitted in April.Yesterday I bit a piece of sellotape off the roll and as a result a piece chipped off the bottom of my tooth. My dentist said I need a new bridge, I was told that bridges are only guaranteed for 3 months, I thought that fillings,crowns etc were guaranteed for 12 months. I had a bridge previously for 12 years with no problems (also using my teeth on Sellotape). This makes me wonder if the materials used are sub-standard as I have done nothing extreme to warrant the damage.

In these situations you do nee… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Temporary veneers were better than permanents once can it be remade?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have just had veneers fitted. Firstly I have temporary ones for 3 weeks which I had adjusted once, I little trimmed off the bottom then I was 100% happy with them, so the lab went ahead and made my permanent veneers. But now that I have them fitted they look a lot different from my temps, a lot smaller and shorter. My original teeth looked better, and I have paid over £3000 for te veneers. Would it be possible to go back in and get them re-made? Thanks.

My temporary filling has chipped should I be concerned?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had been given a temporary filling about 6 months ago and I am due to have the permanent filling done in a couple of weeks. However, the other night the same tooth (near back of mouth) partially chipped/cracked on the inside edge of the tooth, exposing some of the temporary filling. There is no pain but my question is, should this be of some concern to me given I am about to have a filling, and is the enamel able to be bonded back to the tooth or if not, what procedure, if any, is likely to take place? Many Thanks

Most likely the dentist will b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Need the cause and solution for my overbite issue?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
Dear Experts, I have had 2 front teeth replaced by crowns and implants as a result of an accident. Unfortunately there are some discoloring at the top of the crowns where it meet the gumline which is unsightly. What can be done to rectify this? Also, it may sound silly, but it feels as if my teeth are too short and the bite is all wrong. My jaw and jaw muscles gets really sore when I close my mouth, trying to rest the top and bottom jaw on each other. So as a result, trying to compensate for the pain, I try and rest it on the front teeth. Unfortunately, then it creates an uncomfortable, clenching overbite. It is a very uncomfortable and painful situation and I would appreciate advice on how to correct this.

A.
Firstly the crown may need rep… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
