Cant I just not have anything done and be ok with my missing teeth

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Q.
I had a tooth come loose, a root canal was done in that area 23 years ago, and it was removed and decay was detected. It was cleaned out and it was recommended I look into an implant rather than a bridge. I would rather do neither since it is in a spot in my mouth(#29) that you cannot even see the area where the tooth is missing. Can’t I just not have anything done and be ok if I am willing to live with the gap in my back teeth area?????

A.
Yes the gap could be left but … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I may need get a bridge for my missing teeth what would be the cost of the job

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi Just to give you a background of my teeth; I have had my 2nd Molar removed a few years back due to decay which unfortunately infected the 1st molar. The 1st molar has now broken up and needs to be taken out at the root due to extensive decay. i understand it is hard to do a diagnosis without an appointment; however from what I can see, I may need a bridge to cover the missing teeth. My concerns are the size of job needed, the use of General anesthetic and the potential cost of the job.

A bridge from a third molar to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

One side of my mouth has a hole and missing teeth could you advice

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Q.
I have had dental problems from a young child, this has caused me to develop a fear of the dentist, most of my teeth which I still have are crowns, and fillings a few of my front teeth are fake too. I currently only eat on one side of my mouth as the other side has a hole and a tooth missing. the side which I am eating on also has a hole, and the teeth are in a bad condition food always gets stuck in it People are always wondering why it takes me so long to eat my food but Im too embarrassed to say its my teeth. I tried having a denture fitted to replace the lost one but it was uncomfortable, kept moving and food kept going under it. Im so scared to go to the dentist me not being able to eat is having implications on my diet. Im so scared I dont know what to do I dont want to have a set of full dentures by the time im 40 which is the direction im heading im 29. The amount of treatment I would need would cost me so much money which I do not have at the moment. What do you advise please help kind regards

Does failing to get a bridge lead to problems?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I only have 1 back molar tooth on the bottom rear (the 1 behind it & ahead of it had to be extracted). Are there any problems down the road if I don’t do anything about it – or should I be getting a bridge? I’m told a bridge will run around $3,000.00 but that’s a lot of money! Please let me know if there would be any problems leaving it as is? Thank you!

Q.
I am 47 years old and have not been to a dentist for 27 years after a quite terryfying experience. I have lost alot of teeth and apart from a few at the front bottom and top the others remaining are broken or decaying. I am scared stiff of the dentist and get panicky just thinking about it.

Are maryland bridges the best option to hide indent in gums?

Monday, September 14th, 2009
Q.
Thank you for answering my previous question about my 13 year old daughter and the best age for an implant. Since we will be going with a Maryland Bridge until she is 19 and can’t do a bone graft until then, is there anything that can be done to build up the very noticeable indent in her gums above the missing tooth. When she laughs it is extremely noticeable. Since she is only 13 it doesn’t bother her right now but as she gets older say 15 or 16 she will have a problem with it. I wish I had been told by the orthodontist that this indent could have been a possibility when there is a missing adult tooth. We would have waited to start the second phase to open the space until she was 16 or 17 so she could have gone straight to the implant and bone graft after the braces. Please let me know if this would have been a possibility which would have saved us a lot of grief and expense? Thanks.

I would personally treat the c… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
