Can you suggest an alternative to dentures?

November 21st, 2011
Q.
Hi, I have a lot of decay and several roots which need to be removed. I have 3 crowns on the top which are at the front and I really like. However one of my front teeth snapped and a dentist temporarily built it up using filling material. I am quite phobic and so I have not been back and it is now discoloured.

If dentures aren’t an option t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I was meant to get conventional implants but on the day of treatment was given mini implants. Should I be concerned?

October 14th, 2011
Q.

I personally wouldn\’t change … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
