Breast Implants: Info, Prices, Photos, Rewiews, Q&A

I have swallowed a crown. What should I do to ensure it causes no damage?

Don’t panic!

It happens much more commonly than you think – your doctor probably (!) won’t need it and you should pass it as normal. The sooner you can visit your dentist to protect the tooth from which the crown came off, the better. Best wishes!

Could my veneer be causing inflammation around it?

Gum inflammation is usually caused by plaque
Feb 10, 2019

Hi AC,
So long as your Periodontist has eliminated all other medical health changes which may be relevant to your gum health, inflamed gums are typically caused by plaque accumulation. This happens just slightly beneath the gum-line, which is a ‘pocket’ like a trough around the tooth. In your case this is along the veneer ‘margin’ (which glues against the tooth at the gum line).
If the veneer has cracked, there is any excess cement/ resin in the gum pocket, or plaque/ calculus has…

Hi Joanny,
I can completely understand that you’re making a big decision and doing a lot of research into the options available.
My recommendation is not to focus on the material being used, but more on choosing an experienced dentist who uses high magnification, and can plan your new veneers using photography and (even better) a computer simulation as a blueprint. They should be able to give you ‘provisional’ veneers which means you can test-drive the shape and of…

Was my implant placed too far from my 1st molar?

Angulation/ position of implants depends on lots of factors
Feb 10, 2019

Hi Kevin, I can completely understand that you think it seems ‘wrong’ and a lot of my patients ask similar things about dentistry which was done in the past.
Placement of implants depends on lots of things. This includes the available bone (including 3-dimensionally which it is not possible to see from a 2D x-ray, avoiding nearby structures such as your sinuses (which are connected with your airways), not to mention the soft tissue nearby and access within your…

Can orthodontists remove the base of a broken bracket which is still glued on the tooth?

Yes by a dentist with magnification and care
Feb 10, 2019

Hi there,
Don’t panic – dentists are judgemental people, we understand. A dentist with magnification will be able to carefully remove the remaining portion of the bracket – it will probably need to be polished using abrasives. Best wishes.

My Invisalign attachments were taken off but I still have 3 trays left, will this compromise the re

Depends on the exact movements required
Feb 10, 2019

Hi Myaa,
It’s hard to say without knowing precisely the movements needed during these last three aligners. Attachments are often needed for some stages of treatment and not for others. Has your straightening has progressed as planned so far? If so, it’s likely that teeth are ‘tracking’ correctly.
Refinements are still likely to be needed after these 16 trays, as for most clear aligner treatments.
Excellent results are always more likely with excellent communication – so if you’ve got…

Vivera retainers: do you have to have fixed wires as I just want to have Vivera retainers on their

Having both gives you flexibility
Sep 2, 2018

Having both gives you flexibility that you don’t need to wear your Viveras every single night. But if you’re a disciplined person and are certain you’ll wear your retainers every night of the week, that’s an option too.
Certain types of tooth movements are more prone to relapse – talk to your dentist/ orthodontist and they will guide you.
Best wishes
