Q.

I have just completed treatment for an upper left premolar and adjacent upper left molar. All preparatory treatment went well, no problems, until the placement of the crowns: the first placement was a total misfit, and was resent to dental lab/technician for correction. 2nd attempt was better, but sent back again for adjustments; 3rd fitting seemed good – comfortable and cosmetically v. good. However, back home when I had a meal for first time, I noticed that top implants and bottom teeth were not meshing properly, and I was unable to chew my food properly. I reported back to my dentist next day, but he said he couldn’t find a problem, although he did not check with that special ‘occlusion’ paper test. Of course, he could not check the interior of my teeth with a mirror either, whilst teeth were closed. I was told to wait a week to see if still a problem,
There is still a problem – a big gap between top (implants) and bottom molars, so that I am unable to chew food properly on this side. As a result, I am mainly chewing on the other side of my mouth – surely not good long-term?
My questions:
Why has this problem occurred? Should the dentist replace these crowns? Does all this removal and refitting of crowns (3 times so far, and possibly more to follow) compromise or damage the underlying implants?
Your opinion much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Doctor, hope you are well
3 weeks ago I had a crown removed from top/back molars due to an infection. Would I be able to have an implant, if so how soon and roughly what cost?

Q.
hello dr nick fahey and thank you and good day and all that. The problem is that my teeth are very very rotten, and i want to replace them all with implants, i have recently heard that you have to remove all the teeth and then drill the implants in and followed then by the caps or crowns etc to go on afterwards, is there a time period between these two procedures as i am unsure. Its just that it would be relatively embarrassing and impractical to go around without any teeth at all!  in between these two procedures to complete the results. Can you also tell mw what is the usual treatment time limit for the procedure discussed doc? thanks for your time ,

Q.
Hello, I am age 40 and very depressingly I have rapidly decaying teeth (I don’t eat much sugar), I wear an upper denture with three teeth on it, and have another four upper crowns at least that are held on very little tooth. My bottom back teeth are all filled heavily and i have two bottom crowns. I am a nervous patient with a sensitive gag reflex and a phobia about vomiting but I do manage to attend as regularly as required, my caring and patient dentist. Instead of going through endless dental proceedures on my horrible teeth I would really like to have all of my teeth taken out and implant supported dentures top and bottom, my dentist doesnt think this is a good idea because he says my teeth have some years left in them yet as long as i keep attending and having work done as required. I hate every appointment and would like a solution for my mouth that has me dentist free for many years. Please advice.,

I have been receiving treatment at a local dental hospital and have had a number of root canal treatments and soon to have some crowns. Sadly I have already lost 5 teeth and probably more. I am very interested in implants but as I am receiving ongoing treatment I am not sure how long to wait to get implants sorted. I am 34 and have never smoked and generally in good health.,

Q.
I got my front right hand tooth snapped horizontally in half (more like 2/3 off) in an accident when I was 9. Originally it was capped (Like a bit stuck on the bottom) which came off twice over time, so when I was 15 was like layered up to stop the block coming off which has been fine but I can’t bite on it (so I was told at the time), I’m now 25 and the colour (Which never matched) really bothers me as it makes my tooth look dirty (very brownish yellow) I currently don’t work, I was curious as to what my options are as to replacing/covering/whitening it?,

Hi I have a crown on one of my font teeth which I had problems with in December in that the tooth underneath snapped off. So my dentist gave me a new crown with a post.
