I have a gaping hole between my two front teeth from severe gum disease; can i have a row of dentures made on top?

Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr,
I’m wondering if you can help me, I have suffered from gum disease in the past and have had it treated but its left me with a terrible problem, I have a big gaping hole in my gum where the gum has wore away completely, at the front of my mouth between my right front and 2nd right teeth. Its really noticeable and some rather uncouth people have commented on it in the past which makes me more paranoid about it. I’m wondering that because the gum has wore away would it be possible to like have my whole front row of teeth removed and have a row of dentures made? or would there be any other way around this problem, the rest of my teeth are fine and don’t need work its just the two that I mentioned.

Look forward to hearing from you soon

Could you suggest any other method other than opalesense whitening and gum shields?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have been using the Opalesence whitening and have been wearing the gum shields and using the gel for over a week now every other night. However my teeth are extremely sensitive at the minute and I am considering other methods. I dont notice much difference in my teeth either.

Can I have silver fillings to be replaced with composite materials in molar tooth?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q.
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? I am concern that the harmful silver particles will get into my gums.

Is its true that crowns cannot last for long?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I had 3 crowns done over 25 years ago and theyre still going strong but above 2 of them, the gums are receding slightly. Is there anything I can do, to alleviate this. My dentist wants me to have them redone but I am concerned about the expense and also I have been told that these days, crowns only last 10 years. Is this true and why. I would like to hold onto mine for as long as possible as I have a fear of the dentist. Thankyou.
