How much would it cost to have two implants done?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

I have recently had an upper left root filled molar shear off and next to it there is an old gap where a tooth is missing. I need some sinus filling as the jaw shows up as thin in the x rays. If I have both implants done at the same time would you have any idea of cost?

Is it normal to see black dots on the inside part of my newly fitted crown?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
I had a porcelain crown with gold on the inside, fitted to my upper molar. When I got home I noticed 2tiny blackish dots on the inside part of the crown, near the bottom. Since it’s not on the outside visible side of the crown I don’t care about the appearance. I am very worried that the dentist perforated the surface(yet it feels completely smooth) while attempting to fit it better to my mouth and bite line, and therefore weakened the crown. When I notified her of this she said that it was just the gold part peeking through and not to worry. I’m afraid she is not being entirely truthful. None of my other crowns have this marking. Help!!,

I got a second crown to replace incorrectly fitted one but it’s sensitive to cold/hot drink & food. What should I do?

Friday, October 15th, 2010
Q.
Two weeks ago I had a porcelain crown fitted to one of my front teeth. This is the second crown to be fitted in the past 6 months as the first one, a lava crown, was not fitted correctly and I had sensitivity to both hot and cold drinks/foods etc. Unfortunately I am now experiencing the same sensation with this new crown. Is this right?? The two temporary crowns that were fitted inbetween were perfect and I had no sensation at all. I would appreciate your advise on what I should do. Thanks ,
