i had implants and im still on temporary tooth how many month will it take to have a permanent one

Monday, June 29th, 2009
Q.
I had an implant done in Nov.21 of last year and was told it would take a few weeks for healing and they would put my tooth on. They put a temporary tooth on and it broke two months later. It is now over six months later and I’m still having to wear a temporary tooth. It breaks about once a week and I have to go back for a replacement.I have been in the dentist more than I care to discuss just getting a temporary tooth repaired or replaced. How long should it usually take from start to finish to get an implant. HOW MANY MONTHS? I feel my dentist is doing something wrong and it shouldn’t have taken this long for me to get mine done. Thank you

A.
I normally wait 3 months befor… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My perm bridge was glued with temp glue because it did not fit and it pains what do i do?

Friday, June 26th, 2009
Q.
I have a perm. bridge over my top teeth toward the back of my mouth. It was glued with a temp glue bec. it did not fit & the dentist intended to take it off & replace with perm glue (the bite is off). (This is my 2nd attempt w/the same dentist. They took 1st crown off bec. it did not fit and bec. of the sensitivity to hot & pain with a bite.) This bridge feels the same-pain w/bite, sensitivity and now it hurts even more after they recently unsuccessfully tried to take it off. They sent me back home & said to chew something and come back in 2 weeks and they will send it back to lab to add more material to it. I never had any trouble with any of these teeth before they put 1st bridge in January 08. X-ray does not show root inflammation. I can’t chew anything bec. it gives me pain & headache for most of my day and I am afraid to glue this bridge w/perm glue. Please help. I am at the end of my rope… What do I do? What are my options? Do I let them glue it w/perm glue? Thank you for your time.

A.
I would ask them to tap the br… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had a mold done for a partial and when it came back it did not fit. My dentist proceeded to file one of my teeth down with a procedure called a “repiscus” or something. It happened so quick…no explanation or anything I just have a crooked tooth in the back. Now the once health tooth is painful to chew on and sensitive. I have a follow-up appointment but wanted to know if you know of this process of filing down adjoining helathy teeth for partial fitting.

My daughter is 14 and orthodontist said her two teeth should be removed to have braces

Monday, June 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hello – my daughter is 14 years old. After two years of regular orthodontic assessments while she has waited to lose all of her milk teeth she has recently started treatment, and has had her bottom braces fitted. She has spacing between her teeth, but the orthodontist has told us that she needs to have the two number 4 teeth removed from her top gum before he can fit the top brace. I don’t understand this – surely the teeth can be pulled back into the existing spaces, so why create further space by removing two teeth? Also, our dentist, who has been asked by the orthodontist to remove the teeth, has said he cannot understand why he is removing teeth when there is spacing rather than crowding, and will not do this without a second opinion, which we are currently seeking. What is your view? Thank you.

A.
Go for the 2nd opinion and fin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
