implant or BB has its own advantages and disadvantages. \nthe advan of implant is that you don't touch your oposing tooth.\nthe disadv is that implant could take up to 1year  and by the 1 year or sooner the implant might fail .the intergration of bone to inplant might not happen this way you loose your implant as well as your $1500 -2500 that you have invested.\n\nthe advant of a BB bridge is its fast and less $.\nthat disadv is that you are involving your two other teeth. \n \nBB could look very  very nice if you decide to go with good stuff. a good BB that you could make is called a ceptek which  is made of yellow gold inside and porclain outside. with this you will not get black line by your gumline and it looks really good.  \n\nif you decide to go with cont BB make sure you ask for Facial porclain margin. which is a lining by your gum line that prevent you from having blk line.  good luck

do contact the state dental board and lodge your complaint. i personally would speak seriously with my current dentist about what happened and ask his opinion on what additional action he advises if any.

Yes, you would be amazed at the technology.  I had most of one of my front teeth knocked out.  My dentist did a repair, not replacement, and the last one he did has lasted a decade.  I eat everything I always have.

Verbal agreements are hard to prove.  I am a dentist, I asked my frien who is an attorney. She said the court systmem will prob say you are upset about this and not find in your favor since there was no written agreement.  It is common for root canals to fail and a crown really should not be placed on a symptomatic tooth.  I would file a complaint with the state dental board, they take them seriously and follow up on ALL of them.  If she did agree, she may refund the money just to keep them off her back.

You are going to need to consult an orthodontist.  Depending on the severity the dentist may opt to go ahead and do it now or he may decide to wait.  If he does decide to wait, he or she will let you know at what age to bring your daughter back.

My family has a history of missing teeth. And a friends daughter had the same thing happen. All her top teeth were "missing." They actually moved to one spot under her gums and won't come in. Yes, when they give her braces they will have enough space to add an artificial set of teeth in with her regular teeth. And she can get bridgework done to complete the look after braces come off, or like me, she can have an implant. Hard thing for her to go through at this age.

You have to go to a periodontist.  Depending on your insurance, you might need a referral from your primary dentist.  He'll take measurements, do a perio scale (deep cleaning), then do more measurements to see if the problem is fixed.  You'll work with him to see where you go from there.  Do it soon, the longer you wait, the worse it'll be.

Talk to your doctor and to your dentist and see what they have to say. I would probably say it's okay (except for the painkillers, possible), but to be on the safe side, TALK TO YOUR DENTIST AND YOUR DOCTOR!

it would take years before the wisdom tooth comes out, in my case it took about 2 years before it came out. i had thesame problem with your sister and i usually complain about it. it would really be best if you consult a local dentist to check on it coz they would know if it is really a gum problem or not. they can do an xray on the tooth to check if something is really coming out.

Talk to your family doctor and see if you can get a referral to an oral surgeon. I had TMJ surgery twice in 2004 and although an oral surgeon did the surgery, my dental had nothing to do with it..it was covered 100% by my medical insurance.

NO it is not advisable.  Save the teeth that you can, you can always have a partial or bridge made.  Once those teeth are gone you will regret it for the rest of your life.  If your dentist can save some teeth do it.  It will help your health in the long run.  Having dentures is not all that it is cracked up to be.  You have a decreased sense of taste, they do not fit as well as your natural teeth, and some people are gaggers which makes wearing a denture hard.  Your dentist can help you understand what teeth can be saved and what ones may need extra help to keep them.  It will be expensive, but you will appreciate it in the long run.  See a dentist as soon as possible, and then together you can make the best decision based on your dental needs.

just get the braces, I'm on a waiting list to get my jaws broken then reset as my teeth stick out quite a bit if i had got braces when i was young i wouldn't have to go through the worry of getting braces plus getting my jaws broken and reset, go for it if your conscious of your teeth you will be glad when they are all fixed

Pay now or pay a lot later.  Go to the Dentist and get the cavity fixed when it is small and the cost is minimal.  Waiting can only cause you trouble.  Major restoration could cost you several hundred $$$$.

Vee have our vays.  It all comes with knowing how to do it.  In a front tooth, I often do not need to make a surgical approach, but I can't speak for your dentist........

I just had a dental implant for one of my upper incisors done in September. I had a maryland bridge there before that for over 10 years.\n\nThe bridge sucked and it looked bad (the bridge was noticeable).\n\nHowever, the implant is perfect. It's exactly the same as having a natural tooth there. Less sensitive of course, but after a couple of weeks, it's completely unnoticeable.\n\nIt was a tad expensive though... almost $5 grand. And insurance didn't cover any of it. Ouch.

Though rare, you may be allergic to your Partial denture material. Options are\n1. Use a different material, such as metal for making the denture\n2. Get a fixed partial Denture (bridge) instead of Removable one.\n3. Perhaps the best option is to get a Dental Implant prosthesis if your case is suitable and you can afford it!!!
