Root canal filling or dental implants?

December 3rd, 2011
Q.
I have a decaying (possibly dead) lower molar with subgingival decay. My dentist has explained a root canal may fail and a surgeon has told me that taking out the tooth once root filled to then attempt an implant is more complex. In cases with subgingival decay of a lower molar what are your views on root canal fillings versus implants?,

My dentist has advised two implants, are these necessary?

December 3rd, 2011
Q.
I went for a check-up as a gap has formed between my bridge and one of the ‘anchor teeth’. My bridge is upper jaw – the anchor tooth is L6, gap at L5 and the other anchor tooth is L4. L7 (my very back tooth) is a crowned tooth that has also had a root canal. My dentist has informed me that L6 needs to come out as it is deteriorating, and has proposed two implants (L5 and L6) to remedy the problem and replace the bridge (which will be trimmed so L4 remains covered by it) Does this sound about right? Can a bridge not be attached to L7 and span across to L4? Or even put an implant into L6 and bridge from that to L4, saving the need for 2 implants? Thanks!,

I am losing teeth after not taking care of them, is there anything I can do?

December 3rd, 2011
Q.
following years of poor dental hygiene I now find myself (regrettably) losing my teeth, my gums have receded and am told of ‘poor bone quality’ by my dentist. Is there any hope for me?? I’m becoming a tad depressed about this,
