My dentist has recommended I have my painful tooth removed but I don’t want to. Is there any other option?

September 18th, 2011
Q.
In 1998 I had a root canal procedure on my bottom right back molar.A crown was fitted. 3 years ago I experienced pain underneath this crown and my dentist prescribed antibiotics. 2 more \’pain episodes\’ followed, approx once a year the last one 2 weeks ago.My dentist is of the opinion that the root canal has failed and that to avoid these infections extraction should be considered. I am reluctant but do not wish to possibly keep on taking antibiotics. Any thoughts. I have had the tooth x-rayed now and am due for extraction on 14 December.,

Would I be able to get veneers rather than crowns for my mostly discoloured teeth. Could I qualify for braces?

September 15th, 2011
Q.
I am a lone parent on income support. I dont pay for treatment. my front 6 top teeth need treatment and my dentist said i could get crowns. Is there another alternative i could opt for than crowns as these wont improve my self confidence etc. Do you know if I would be entitled to veneers rather than crowns as my 6 top teeth arent worth being there now they r mostly fillings and discoloured. also i have over lappin bottom front teeth, I\’m 32 if i had some back teeth removed do you think I would qualify for a brace of some kind to make them straight which should jave been dealt with whrn i was a child. i get a great build up of plac therefore need lots of scales to remove it but it returns within weeks. i do brush and rinse also floss.,

I feel that the quoted price to replace my crown with an implant is excessive. Or would you say it is accurate?

August 11th, 2011
Q.
I have had a crown on my front tooth for around 14 years. It has become loose in the last 5 years and I have had to have it re adhered several times (s ince pregnancy). Xrays show that the root canal has two fractures in it where the rod sits. I have been told the best possible course of action is an implant. I had the moulds taken and measurements and xrays etc and paid £150 for this and then was given a breakdown of costs for this – for a ceramic post etc I am quoted £2650. This seems somewhat excessive. Is this about right? I cannot justify this on one tooth.,
A.
Unfortunately implant dentistr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I am sick and tired of ugly crowns that are causing me problems. Am I a candidate for implants?

August 4th, 2011
Q.
hi, Ive had 4top fron crowns since i was 16, im now 46. Over the years Ihave lost the crowns on numerous occassion, the final straw been 2yrs ago my tooth broke when i was pregnant so i had to have a temporary denture for 8mths!!! following that my dentist made me a 2crown bridge which is secured by the adjoing crown, hence it has no support and is constanly falling out. My dentist now recommends me to get a bridge of 3 which would entail me losing one of my good teeth at the side. Would i be a canditate for implants, im so tired of these croens and they look so ugly also. My remaining teeth are fine they just need whitening. Could I come and see you for a consulation? How much do you think the treatment would be. I have watched many make over shows and the biggest difference that I have found in when the teeth have been corrected. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks.,
