Are veneers an option for me?

Veneers
Nov 23, 2016

Veeners are a bad option, due to the way your bite comes together…. A veneer placed in that area would have signficantly higher stresses, resulting in a higher chance of failure. In order to place a veneer, a large amount of tooth structure would have to be removed— Not my first choice…. I would recommend a consultation with an orthodontist, with the price you would pay for several veneers, you can leave your teeth “untouched” by doing some orthodontic movements.

I have a front crown that’s come out. What can I do?

Crown come off

The crown that you have in you hand is pretty much a souvenir… The remaining tooth structure is not adequate for restoration/replacement of a new crown, you will have better predictability with an implant or a 3 unit bridge.

Mobilty in implants

Simple answer = mobility in implants is NOT GOOD. Indicates failure. Please seek the care of a specialist. Implant mobility in anterior teeth should be less than 10-100 microns which is the equivalent to 0.0004 inches, or approximately the size of a human hair…. if you can move the implant MORE than that, its a good indication of implant failure.

BMP bone grafting
Jun 22, 2016

BMP is not used for every case. I use BMP for patients with severe bone defects, atrophy, or for re-do/revision cases. In all circumstances, we use it when we HAVE to HAVE bone growth, no matter what. It is a wonderful product, and have been using since 2009… I would use it more regularly, however, there is substantial costs incurred to the doctor, and then the patient. The company that sells it, Medtronic, charges the DOCTOR $1500-6000, just for the product. So although the $25K to the…

It is recommended to get a cleaning prior to professional whitening, in order to improve results. You can whiten your teeth after the cleaning, no problem!

Best option to close gap without braces?

What you have is a diastema, which can be closed with bonding or a ceramic veneer. Alternatives include Invisalign treatment or conventional (clear) braces. Consult an orthodontist, not a general dentist, for tooth movement. You may have a small chance that a removable retainer (Hawley Appliance) can close the space. Hope that helps!
