December 27th, 2013
Q.

my teeth had worn down,due to no teeth at the back,& my teeth were very sensitive,& painful,my dentist said he would advise crowns, which i could not afford,he said he could build my teeth up which would make a difference to how they looked & this would cost me just under £1000. I had 15 teeth built up,which i was really happy with, but now after 3 months i am getting sensitivity in some, & little holes coming on the corners, but my dentist says “well the build up is only fillings”you need crowns, He took an exray & said one of the front teeth that is sensitive now really needs root canal treatment, this cost me £1,013 what can i do . I can not afford crowns ,which he says would cost me about £7000.please advise.I feel as if he is just trying to get more money out of me.

My dentist said my implant was fitted too high and the gum will never fill the space. What should I do?

December 19th, 2013
Q.

I had two dental implants fitted to the bottom left of my mouth, the back teeth five and six. There is a gap between the bottom of crown six and the gum where food gets trapped. I am always flossing the area which leaves the area feeling strange. The floss has got trapped on occassion when it reaches the titanium post. The dentist said the gum would eventually fill the space within two months, already been one month. How can a gum grow up to meet a crown? The gum is completley healed now. My dentist said the implant was fitted too high and the gum will never fill the space. What is your opinion?

What would be the consequences of choosing dental implants at a cheaper price?

December 19th, 2013
Q.

Hello there. I have a dental crown on my front tooth, and it has now become loose. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to re-do the crown again because it may become loose again. I want to get a dental implant from the dentist for one of my tooth, but I have come across a huge range of prices that vary. I may do my implant abroad, but I don’t know if this is the correct decision. I want to know what is the quality variations, and if possible if you can send me the details of varying quality of implants that are on offer. Can you also tell me what could be the consequences of placing cheaper implants. I would appreciate your feedback very much.

Q.

Can you help me please. My teeth are really bad but I’m only twenty-seven years old. My dad died when I was sixteen and I neglected everything including my teeth health. I’m embarrassed to smile or meet new people because of the way my smile looks.

Patients says her Atlantis crown is clicking and loose. What should I do?

December 6th, 2013
Q.

Hello and thank you for allowing question. I fitted an Atlantis crown on an Astratech implant on my patient last friday. today she was in the practice and telling me that she heard a click and that the crown was moving. I checked the crown and it was not loose but very slight movement . I would like to know what has gone wrong and what to do next in such a case? can it be that the abutment is not tightened properly? will i need toget the patient back to try to unscrew the abutment for a fix? or cut the crown and unscrew the abutment? i would be grateful for some advise in this case
