Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Which should be done first: braces or a tooth implant?
Depends where the implant will be placed
Jul 13, 2010
If a future implant to be place is between two teeth that ultametly will be moved by the orthodontics than orthodontics should be completed first.  If the tooth is in an area where mininal movement is required than it would not matter which procedure is done first.  A through examination and treatment plan is needed before treatment to determine what is right for your particular case.
Does Medicaid cover Dental implants?
Medicaid does not cover implant therapy
Nov 23, 2009
Unfortunately at this time, dental implants are not covered by medicaid.
Alternatives to implants that are cover by medicaid should be discussed with your dentist. One option is a removable partial denture.
Is teeth whitening possible for people with receding gums?
Protect root surfaces during whitening procedures
Nov 23, 2009

For patients with recession the doctor can protect the root surface while the treatment is being performed.
Crown or veneer for root canal tooth?
Most teeth treated with root canal therapy need crowns, in some cases front teeth do not
Nov 23, 2009
Typically, teeth treated with root canal therapy should recieve a crown if they are located in the back of the mouth.

If there is a lot of healty remaining natural tooth, a crown may not be necessary on a front tooth. Most root canal treated back teeth do need a crown on the other hand.

Teeth whitening options for a teeth grinder?
At home tray whitening is still an option
Nov 23, 2009
Whitening trays can and should be worn during the day. It is difficult to monitor tooth sensitivity while sleeping and as such whitening trays should be worn during the day to prevent over use and sensitivity. In your particular case this should not interfere with your night guard use.
Difference between crowns and veneers?
Crowns or veneers depends on the treatment goal
Oct 19, 2009
Typically, the determination of whether a patient should have veneers or crowns is based on what the patient and dentist are looking to achieve.
While both procedures can be highly aesthetic the two treatments have different uses. Typically veneers are used when a patient would like to improve the shape and color of their teeth. Crowding and excess space issues can also be alleviated. Veneers are thin (approximately finger nail thickness) beautifully shaped porcelain that is customized…
What happens to the teeth underneath veneers over time?
Your teeth will not rot from veneers over time
Oct 14, 2009
As your already know veneers are a thin porcelain facing that is bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Before the veneers are bonded, the teeth that will receive the veneers are disinfected and a composite cement is used to seal the teeth under the veneers. This seal is very strong and should not allow for contamination of the teeth under the veneers.
Thus because the teeth are sealed under the veneers there should be no risk for odors which is a may be a result of bacteria.
