Will there be any damage be caused to the teeth or root by the adjacent crown?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
I recently had a crown fitted to a dental implant UL6, when the crown was fitted it felt ok but gradually it became very tight against the adjacent teeth, UL5 and 4, I could not floss between as there was no gap, I waited two weeks before returning to the practice that fitted the implant, an implement was pushed between the crown and adjacent tooth to try and create a gap this was very painful and did not work so the crown was removed and left for a month so the adjacent teeth would return to their original position which they did, however I am concerned as their was obvious preasure from the crown against the two adjacent teeth could any damage have been caused the the teeth or root which will cause further problems.

Best option for tooth grinding problem

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a tooth grinding problem which has cracked a bottom tooth. My dentist has repaired this twice with a small filling but it keeps coming off. I went to my practice last week (met a new dentist) who suggested having a veneer which was ‘really tough’ and would not come off. I was quoted £700. However, my previous dentist said a veneer would not hold and he wouldn’t sell me one, he suggested a night guard £400, but I am not convinced I ‘grind’ at night I think it is when I chew food. My dentist raised the height of a rear filling to stop me grinding and now I am having trouble chewing food. I therefore have three expensive options (veneer, night guard or constant fillings) and have no idea what to opt for. Can anyone help? Regards

My anchor tooth broke off so would I be suitable for dental implants or partial dentures

Saturday, August 15th, 2009
Q.
I have recently had quite a bad experience with a local dentist – after root canal work under a capped tooth, the cap and anchor tooth broke off. I have other teeth missing and really need some advice as to whether implants or a partial denture would be most suitable. I have just spent £500 for an inadequate temp. solution and would like a free consultation but, having visited your site and rang your clinic, I was told that the free consultation advertised does not apply to my problem. Can you help please? Can you clarify? Thanks

Im having bone augmentation and im experiencing extreme pain what could be causing this?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi After having bone augumentation two weeks ago I am experiencing pain, (like throbbing pressure), headaches, inner ear problems (buzzy,blocked ear,but no pain) above the area where the proceedure took place. My dentist said that I should not be experiencing pain now and that it should be settling down. He has not offered to Xray the area again but did offer me a course of antibiotics. He was concerned that I should be feeling discomfort after all this time but did not offer any answers to my discomfort. What could be causing this? Many Thanks

My dentist says my front tooth is infected but it doesnt cause any problem can i fix it later

Saturday, July 4th, 2009
Q.
I had root canal on my 2nd premolar on the right hand side of my mouth (5th tooth over)10 years ago. I havent had any touble with it since but about 18months ago I went to a new dentist who discovered it was infected and had to be dug out and repacked with anesthetic. I have now managed to break the front of the tooth off. I went to my dentist and she said it was infected again so there was little point in getting a crown and she has recommended i visit a dental surgeon to have it extracted (the root is pointed apparently). My options then are to have a bridge crown (£600) or screw in tooth (£1500). It is not causing me any problems and i cant really afford to replace it at the minute. I have also heard that if its removed and I choose not to replace it there is a chance my other teeth will move into the space etc. Its far enough back in my mouth and cant be seen so Im just wondering is there any reason why i cant leave it as it is for a while until I can afford to have it replaced? or should i go ahead and have it removed now and replaced or can i safely leave the gap?

I am 25, I have gaps in between and either side of my front 2 middle teeth please advice.

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had 2 front teeth taken out when I was younger. Either side of my middle two. I have had gaps for years and it has made me very depressed. I think the gaps have gotten smaller over time, and my two front teeth now have a small gap between them too, as if they have spread out. I have been reading about implants but this seams like it wouldn’t be an option as the gaps are now too small for replacement teeth, but too large for braces to pull them together. I am not sure what to do. I don’t currently have a dentist, this problem has been upsetting me for years I am now 25, and I have not been able to face the dentist since they took the teeth out when I was 19. Thanks.
