Can my previous bridges be reused?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I lost 3 front teeth in an auto accident 16 years ago. At that time the dentist made crowns for adjoining 5 teeth in the form of a bridge. The bridge has now let go due to decay of (what used to be) healthy natural teeth and I am wanting implants. In this day and age of recycling, reusing and renewing, can my bridge not be retro-fitted for the implants??? Alot of $$$ went into them originally, I find it hard to believe that they cannot be reused.

A.
No its a ciustom fitted device… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My bite is changed after having crown fitted should I be concerned?

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Q.
Hello. I have just had my crown fitted to a lower back tooth. The crown feels a little ‘raised’ and i can’t get the same ‘biting’ feel with my teeth i had prior to it being fitted today. I told my dentist afterwards and he said i should give it time to bear down and settle down. I hope this is true as at the moment it feels odd when i bite down and when i eat. Should i be concerned or just wait a day or two? Many thanks

A.

Best solution to fix new bite?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.

Anything put into the lower ja… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can’t make up my mind to have a porcelain or a metal crown

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Q.
I’ve had cosmetic crowns placed on my 6 upper front teeth (eye tooth to eye tooth). There were multiple issues and I am having them redone. The issue that I’m faced with now is whether or not to have the back of the crown porcelain or metal. If I go with porcelain, I may need another root canal (they will have to remove more of my tooth to make the back thinner). If I go with the metal, I’m afraid that it will show when I laugh or yawn and that later it may look dark. What would you advise?

A.
It is unusual to see the back … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
