I am unsure if my dentist said I would have a temporary denture until I get crowns due to my fear of the dentist. What should I do?

Q.
hi, i went to my dentist after years of being scared of them. i have 3 front crowns which have been lose for years and i have been gluing them back in myself due to my phobia of dentists, anyway i plucked up the courage to go to one and they were really nice but because of my nerves i dont remember what he said he was going to do. he said that one of my crowns had no bone to put cement it back on but he tried his best to, it has came lose after a day. the others have stayed in. he did impressions and said i might have to go without a front tooth for a while, while he sorted out more crowns but then he said that he could do a partial denture which would be ready in a couple of weeks time. does he mean i will have a denture untill some crowns are sorted or will it be instead of crowns and would it be better anyway. i also chose the colour of the crowns. i just dont understand if it is a tempory denture while sorting crowns out or will it be a permanent one, have to go back next week and still really nervous.,

I don’t want dental phobia to ruin my smile. Can you recommend a dentist?

Thursday, September 16th, 2010
Q.
I have always had a phobia about dentists but have managed it for the past 20 years however after a recent bout of depression am now absolutley terrified.I have recently plucked up the courage to go the the hygienist as I know how important it is and have not been as good at looking after my gums (have had problems with them for years) to get back on track, I have lots of crowns and really try hard to look after them as best I can. I was left with the impression I will eventually loose all my teeth to gum disease which I know i have to come to terms. However I am willing to do what it takes to keep them for as long as I can. I would really like to find a dentist I can trust bit dont know where to start looking. I live in Stamford Lincolnshire, but would be willing to travel to the right dentist. Do you know where I could begin to start looking for one? I dont know many people in the area so asking around is not really an option. I would be very grateful if you could help, also am thinking of getting some private insurance but dont know where to start!! Sorry this is long winded would be grateful for any advice. Thank you,

Q.
Dear Justin, I am absolutely petrified of the dentist – don’t know why – never had a bad experience – I am in need of some serious work – bridges, crowns etc and I can’t seem to make myself go – what can I do – I am an intelligent woman and can’t understand why I feel like this. Even sedation scares the life out of me – I would very much appreciate your response. Thank you.,
