Could you advise on whether I will be able to straighten teeth after implants?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have been advised that I a lower molar needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant. Can you please advise whether I would still be able to wear braces to straighten the rest of my teeth when I have this implant? I mainly need to straigthen the upper teeth but have been advised that the lower teeth also need to be straightened to correct my bite.

I thought of going to have my silver fillings to be replaced with composite materials in one of my molar tooths. But some of the current silver fillings stick to my gums, how does the dentist going to remove it? Will it cause my gums to bleed during the drilling?

Do the baby molar teeth need to be extracted?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
My daughter is 19 and has 2 pre-molar (baby teeth) still in place. There are no second teeth to replace them. Her own dentist suggests extracting these 2 teeth as she says they are growing into the gum. Do they need to be extracted or do you think they should stay. If they have to go what will she get to replace the wide gaps. thanks

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I’ve had a molar tooth removed recently after it fractured from eating food. I took some photos with my camera to see if it was healing well and i noticed that at the base of the cavity it looked quite dark, almost silvery like my other fillings. Is it normal to be this colour?, could the dentist have just left the lower part of my tooth etc in my jaw? Can i send the photo to get your judgement? Thanks
