Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Retainers or night guard with veneers? Could a nightguard serve as a retainer?
Different approach
Feb 10, 2018
In my practice I never give a veneer patient a night guard or retainer after veneers. The reason for this is night time bruxism is all bout a lack of oxygen. So, if you are grinding your teeth then adding a piece of plastic to your mouth creates yet another hurdle for oxygen to pass.
Now to answer your question. If the impression can loosen your veneers, then there’s something wrong with them
Which kind of crown for mandibular first molar?
Two options
Dec 6, 2015
The answer like most answers is “it depends.” It depends if your smile shows your fist molar. If so, then I would suggest an e.max crown (all porcelain) because it is more aesthetic than full zirconia or gold. If your smile does not show your first molar (this is true for the majority of people) then full zirconia would be best. Another factor it depends on is your habits. If you are a grinder or clencher, then you should sacrifice aesthetics (e.max) for full zirconia. In my…
Why won’t my teeth whiten?
Try in office whitening
Dec 10, 2013
This is a tricky question, because whitening, while effective, is still unpredictable. The short version of my answer is to try in office whitening, like Zoom! of Boost (either). In-office whitening provides a more predictable response. The longer version of my answer is this…not all whitening gels are the same. It’s great that you mentioned the different percentages of peroxide in your take home gels, but you may be surprised to know there are different kinds of peroxides (namely hydrogen…
Which crowns would you recommend for front teeth? What is the best quality strongest and what
Nothing last forever
Nov 19, 2013
When it comes to your front teeth you have a few choices. The answer depends on your particular situation (the position of the teeth, is there grinding, etc). There is no one material that is the best for every situation, but there is one that I feel is the best for MOST situations. That material is known as E. MAX. This material has the best balance of strength and aesthetics. It is produced from a solid block of porcelain (no metal). This is the material I use in more the 90% of…
Can you have a root canal done through a crown by drilling and refilling?
Through the crown
Nov 10, 2013
It is a very common practice to go through the crown to complete a root canal. The procedure is a more difficult for the practicioner but nothing a specialist can’t handle. If finances aren’t an issue, you may want a new crown but it’s definitely not a necesity
What is the best process and material for a crown for a bruxer? Gold, zirconium, ceramic, a c
the gold standard
Nov 9, 2013
I usually give long-winded answers but this is simple: GOLDGold is literally the gold standard in dentistry, but almost no one wants a gold crown anymore. This is obviously due to aesthetics, and the recent advancements in porcelain/zirconia crowns (not to mention the rise of gold prices over the last 20 years and what that did to the price of gold crowns). That being said, if you don’t care what the crown looks like (blasphemy coming from an aesthetic dentist) then gold is the way to go…
Do I need a dental implant?
RE: do I need a dental implant
Nov 9, 2013
So need is a bit of a difficult question to answer here, but in my opinion you should get an implant. (Your post didn’t make it seem like finances were the major concern)So why should you? In short, it will keep your bite where it should be, allow you to eat the way you like and generally have better quality of life. More specifically, lets start with the reason they gave you: the tooth on the top (opposing) will grow out of its natural position without a tooth to chew against. This will…
