Should I put new crowns or implants?

Crown Replacement or Implant?
Jan 26, 2014

You seem to favoring Implants. They will last longer and you will have a NEW tooth…the downside is if your dentist does not do immediate implants you will have to wait for sometime to do the process and it is an expensive proposition. Crowns, are less expensive and can be done usually much faster. I am not sure why have bad breath with your crowns unless you have infection, decay or periodontal disease. Crowns should not give you bad breath.

Can a veneer be placed to fix a crooked tooth?

Correcting front tooth
Jan 26, 2014

Hi Zack…I do not think veneering the front tooth is a good option here. I would go for some short term ortho treatment either Invisalign Express or Six Month Smiles, which just corrects the front teeth that you see when you smile. The correction is done with Clear Aligners or with Clear brackets and wires and usually accomplished in 6 months. You have a nice front tooth…do not reduce it. Just change the position and you will be happy with your smile!

What is the Cost of One Dental Implant
Jan 20, 2014

The cost of one implant varies depending on the area you live and who is doing the implant, a general dentist or a specialist. If you live in a major city and a oral surgeon or a specialist in periodontal dentistry is placing the implant, it will run anywhere between $3,000 to $5,000. No one wants to mention the price, because it is high, but it requires major amount of work and skill and you are receiving the best replacement for a natural tooth that will last 30 years or…

Is there an alternative to a dental implant when the lost tooth is surrounded by crowns? I canno

How to Replace a Missing Tooth If You Can Not Afford Implant
Jan 13, 2014

A flipper is the cheapest and easiest way to replace the tooth. It basically is a single tooth denture with wire clips to hold it on to the other teeth. You can also replace the missing tooth with a fixed bridge. Another solution, some of us will remember, is the Maryland Bridge. Here the dentist attaches a porcelain tooth using metal wings that cover the backs of the abutment teeth. Nothing is done to abutment teeth. This is a quick and less expensive way compared to the fixed…

Is it normal to still have nerve pain from crowned tooth, over a month later?

Pain in a Crowned Tooth After a Month
Jan 4, 2014

No, it is no normal. You can have some sensitivity but not the pain you are describing. If your bite seems fine, it could be that the crown was placed wrong and it needs to be redone. This happens. Sometimes the dentist does not get it right! I would go back to your dentist or seek a second opinion before you see him. Either the crown was not placed correctly, or there is a chance that he drilled to far down or the decay was further into the tooth and needed a root canal. It…

Is a crown chipping in 2 days something usual?

Crown Chipping After Two Days
Jan 1, 2014

Hi Luka I think that if you were given a heads up on the grinding and wearing bite guard by the doctor before placement of the crown, you could be responsible for the cost he has quoted. I would not charge you for it because I do not think this is the way to keep you as a patient and make you happy. I would replace the crown and make sure you wear the bite guard and do everything to help you stop grinding. I would make sure your bite is correct as well. Take good care and listen…

Wisdom Teeth Extraction and Migranes

I am not sure that this has much to do with your migraines. Sounds to me like you need to go to your internal medicine doctor and have them check out your blood pressure. There are too many symptoms that do no pertain to must migraines. Just a thought! I am so sorry you are experiencing these symptoms because they must be very scary for you!
