Need the cause and solution for my overbite issue?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
Dear Experts, I have had 2 front teeth replaced by crowns and implants as a result of an accident. Unfortunately there are some discoloring at the top of the crowns where it meet the gumline which is unsightly. What can be done to rectify this? Also, it may sound silly, but it feels as if my teeth are too short and the bite is all wrong. My jaw and jaw muscles gets really sore when I close my mouth, trying to rest the top and bottom jaw on each other. So as a result, trying to compensate for the pain, I try and rest it on the front teeth. Unfortunately, then it creates an uncomfortable, clenching overbite. It is a very uncomfortable and painful situation and I would appreciate advice on how to correct this.

Firstly the crown may need rep… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can my previous bridges be reused?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I lost 3 front teeth in an auto accident 16 years ago. At that time the dentist made crowns for adjoining 5 teeth in the form of a bridge. The bridge has now let go due to decay of (what used to be) healthy natural teeth and I am wanting implants. In this day and age of recycling, reusing and renewing, can my bridge not be retro-fitted for the implants??? Alot of $$$ went into them originally, I find it hard to believe that they cannot be reused.

A.
No its a ciustom fitted device… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My dentist says bridges may cause infection is this true?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
My regular dentist does not agree with brdges—he says they put more strain on the surrounding teeth and should infection occur then the whole bridge mudt be destroyed to eliminate the infection. I have a tooth missing which can only be rectfied by a bridge –which other dentists seem happy to provide—should I go for this??

Q.
I have had a root filling and a gold cap put over the tooth. The tooth keeps getting infected and it may be better to have it out. I have a 5 tooth bridge one tooth away form from the cap and if nothing is replaced it could undermine the bridge.

My bad teeth is influencing my daily life please suggest on my issues.

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Q.
I am wondering what help is available to me. I had to have my top teeth from the canine teeth backwards out 10 years ago due to absesses. Since then I have suffered depression with no confidence and can not form a proper relationship in case anybody finds out that I wear a denture. I have been to a dental hospital who estimated it would cost £30,000 with bone taken from my hip. I have heard of other ways of having implants cheaper without the bone from my hip. Would the NHS be able to contribute because I have suffered with depression for all these years and lost out on 10 years of my life? Every dentist I have gone to have been very unsympathetic and it has come to the point where I can not bear daily life because of this. I think of my teeth 24/7 and it has restricted my life in so many ways. I would be grateful of any advice you can give me or who to go to next. I can not afford to go private Please help.

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.

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