I have had problems with my implants, which my dentist says is down to my bite pressure. He has reduced the size of the implant teeth. Will this help?

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
Q.
i had 2 implants fitted either side of my upper jaw in dec 2009. In May 2010 I had 2 double teeth fitted to each implant.Over the last month the right side implant feels loose and is uncomfortable and painful if I bite on hard substances. the opposite lower tooth has had an absess and recently root canal treatment (unsuccessful). My dentist thinks I am putting too much pressure when biting and has reduced the size of the implanted teeth significantly. Will my implant become more stable with time and if it does not what can I do?,

How long after root canal should I get crown treatment?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
I’ve had root canal on my upper L6. How long does this keep for before I need to go for crown treatments? I’m worried because my dentist explained the tooth is now very fragile, and I’m due to go away for a couple of months. Thanks,

What can be done to restore discoloured front tooth after root canal failed?

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Q.
i want to see if i can restore the discoloured front tooth, it’s ‘dead’ after a root canel treatment, i was told by my previous dentist that the blood supply stopped going to the tooth. Took the advice tried the filling but the coverage is only 50% and I don’t like the ‘bump’ as the filling is not in alignment with the rest of the teeth. Please advise,

My tooth has been through a lot – pain, infection, chipped – but I don’t like the though of having it removed. Any other options?

Friday, October 15th, 2010
Q.
I had a white filling placed in a molar tooth approximately 4 years ago. Immediately afterwards I had some pain with this tooth and occasional (not major) pain over the following year. My dentist, however, said it was fine. Then last year I had considerable pain with this tooth. I went to the dentist, was told it was infected, given antibiotics, the filling was removed and antibiotic matter placed inside & a temporary filling. This developed into quite a major abscess and I think had a further course of antibiotics and then had root canal undertaken. Recently a part of this front, side, of this tooth chipped away. The dentist suggested it be crowned (he had mentioned this before as something I could consider doing) but he said he thought there may be a fracture in the tooth, and told me to wait two weeks. When I returned he said he believed the tooth should be removed. By then, I began getting some slight pain…this however was a week ago, (no antibiotics were prescribed) and the pain has worsened. I am very unhappy at the thought of having a tooth removed… are there any other options?,
