What is the price range for implant?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
Dr. Caplan, I saw an endodontist today for a problem with a crown that I had placed in 2004. There was a root canal done on this tooth(which is the 3rd tooth from the front tooth) and then the crown was placed. But I have had a lot of trouble with the crown—has come off several times and now for the second time in 3 mo, I have decay built up under it. I am on antibiotic now and the specialist I saw today recommends that I have this tooth extracted and have an implant for this tooth. It was a baby tooth(the permanent tooth came in behind it and I had it pulled years ago). I have just a couple of questions: What is the price range of an implant? Should I have my dentist—whom I trust do the procedure or is it recommended to go to an oral surgeon? Thank you!

Can I ve veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am getting a root canal on one of my front teeth (upper right incisor). I had some work done on this same tooth last yr by a different dentist, it was already slightly discoloured so he did something to it and made it nice and healthy looking again (I think it may have been a composite filling or something?) I have been advised by the dentist I am having the root canal from that this tooth will discolour after the root canal. Will this still be the case despite the composite filling? If so, would it be possible to have a veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown? If I did have a crown would it be more noticeable than a veneer? Thank you

Terrible pain after root canal treatment any advice?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
My daughter in law went for a scale and polish at a private dentist and the dentist hit a nerve. The dentist said he has to do a root canal to fix it. My daughter-in-law was in terrible pain. The root canal was done and they sent her home with no medication. Since then she has been in horrible pain. A tingling, sharp pain that is non stop.The dentist says he cant see her for 4 more days. There is no swelling, no fever but no relief even with regular painkillers. Any advice?
