I want your suggestion on wearing dentures

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
I currently wear dentures but the lower was originally made with a bar on a few of my teeth; but then one side came out of the gum; so the dentist removed the other side; so I’ve been wearing the lower using the pad. Now, I did go to a dentist who made a new complete set; however, I can not wear them-the lower-the first time the front teeth was almost laid out flat; so I couldn’t bite, chew, talk or sing; so he had it redone & then it was straight up way back behind my top; so I can’t chew-they just sit in the container. What should I do? They were very expensive to not be worn. The dentist did offer to refund half ot the money but at that time I refused. Should I sue him because if I call or go by; there is usually no one there.

You should be aware that lower… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Dental treatments to fix gum recession issues

Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Patel Despite regularly attending my dentist and hygenist for twenty years I have now been told that gum recession on two lower front teeth is now so bad that I am not a candidate for gum grafting. As you may appreciate I am very annoyed with my dentist for not being more proactive over my recession issues given that I raised this with him from day one of attending all those years ago. On the positive side, radiographs show a substantial amount of bone remaining and I have no mobility whatsoever. My questions are these: Even with such severe gum recession would it be possible to place implants if required in the future? Are there any techniques for gum to be ‘built-up’ to accommodate implants after tooth extraction? By the way the (very) little tissue that remains is healthy and recession has been caused apparently by crowding, thin tissue-type.

At my practice we get sent alo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Best solution to fix new bite?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.

Anything put into the lower ja… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
