Single tooth missing: If you are looking to replacing one tooth, the implant/abutment/crown should run between $3,000 – $6,000 depending on where you live and the relative skill of the dentist/specialist who will place them.

Multiple adjacent teeth missing: Here you have alternatives ranging from one implant per missing tooth…

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

Cost of Invisalign
Jul 2, 2013

There are lots of good answers to this question below and yes, generally speaking Invisalign treatment should run between $3,000 – $6,000. This price range can vary based on what part of the country you live (higher in New York, lower in some lower rent and cost of labor markets). It can also vary depending on case complexity. For example, Invisalign recently began to offer Express 5 treatment for extremely minor tooth movement and I would think that type of treatment…

Am I a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain Veneers / Lumineers
Jun 28, 2013

Though it is very difficult to assess treatment based on a single photograph, I think veneers may be either in whole, or part of, a treatment option for you. A good cosmetic dentist can take several steps to assess your desires, smile line, tooth structure, occlusion, and other factors to help you identify what type of veneer (porcelain, Lumineers, Durathins, bonded chairside veneers) would work best for you. You are absolutely correct about wanting to minimize any…

How Often Should Bonding Be Replaced?

Replacement of bonding
Jun 26, 2013

It should only be replaced if there is a legitimate reason to do so either aesthetically or functionally as determined by you and/or your dentist. Generally speaking, if the bonding was done properly, bite taken in consideration, habits such as clenching or grinding are under control, you should expect to receive a good 7-10 years or more of great results. Some patients can go even significantly longer than that.

Sorry to hear your symptoms are getting worse, Allie. It must be very frustrating to experience such pain even when you’re not eating.

Has your dentist checked your bite to see if one or both crowns are a touch high? Your teeth have already gone through trauma first when the old filings were removed and the teeth were prepared for a crown. Then, again when the permanent crowns were seated. If the crown(s) is a touch high, you are placing extra pressure on…

Crowned Tooth with Emax and Its Highly Sensitive, Please Advise?

Give your dentist another call
Jun 17, 2013

Sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing with one of the teeth. Placing a crown on a tooth can be a fairly traumatic experience for that tooth and could force an unplanned root canal procedure. In addition, it sounds like you had a lot of new veneers/crowns and your bite may be struggling to adjust. You are wise to look at all options before committing to a root canal. Check with your dentist to see if he evaluated your bite/occlusion in the area where…

Teeth Shaving for Invisalign?

Talk to your dentist about your concerns
Jun 15, 2013

Talk to your dentist about your concerns. Is it .5 mm from each tooth or is it .25 mm from each side (which would add up to a net .5 mm) Start by listing the goals of your treatment – do you and your dentist share the same goals? Ask if Invisalign can achieve these options without having to shave teeth. Your dentist may know the answer or may check with technical support from Align Tech (the makers of Invisalign). They have orthodontists on staff who are…
