I need to replace quite a few teeth because I let my oral health visits lapse. I went to see Clear Choice Dental Implants and they are talking about extracting all my teeth and using something called an all-on-4 procedure. I thought some of my teeth were still good, but maybe I was wrong and […]
Options for an Infected Tooth
I had a tooth which had a partial filling. It hurt ever since and I’d been living on over-the-counter painkillers. I finally went in again and he said that there is an infection under the filling and he feels I need to extract the tooth. I feel like there should be another option. Couldn’t we […]
Am I a Candidate for Bone Grafting?
I had a dental bridge when I was a teenager. Now I am in my forties. I can see a little bone loss (I think) where the bridge is. I would like to get a dental implant instead and am assuming I would need some bone grafting. Is there a way to know if you […]
Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors
My daughter is about to graduate high school. She’s always had a problem where her adult lateral incisors are missing. This has made her very subconscious about her smile. My dentist is suggesting we pull the baby incisors and then get Invisalign to close the gap. I just wanted to get a second opinion before […]
Titanium or Zirconia Dental Implants
I have one dental implant currently and need to get another one. My sister-in-law insists I need to switch my titanium dental implant for a zirconia as well as get zirconia for the second one. She’s one of those naturopaths or whatever they’re called. However, she was touting the dangers of amalgam fillings before anyone […]
Right Antibiotic for a Tooth Infection
I had a toothache a couple of weeks ago and ended up having a dental infection. I saw my dentist and he prescribed me Keflex. My tooth seemed to get better but has recently flared back up. My cheek is starting to swell too. Is there a chance he had me on the wrong antibiotic? […]
Dental Implant Disaster
I paid nearly $40k for a full-mouth reconstruction. All my teeth were crowned and quite a few had dental implants as well. Almost half the crowns have fallen off and I have nothing but stubbed teeth or implant fixtures in my mouth and eating is one of the most painful things I do. Can you […]
Is Zoom Whitening Better?
I talked to my dentist about whitening my teeth. I was planning on just doing it with those regular bleaching trays. He had just invested in this new machine– a Zoom Whitening machine. He mentioned that my teeth would get whiter with the Zoom machine than with the trays. I do want really white teeth, […]
Buying Dental Implant Parts Online
I have full upper snap-on dentures. Mine have four posts. I am in need of new male locator caps. My dentist charges me $25.00 per cap. That’s one piece not one set. That is a lot of money and I just don’t have enough to keep doing that. My business shut down during COVID. I’ve […]
My Teeth are a Mess and I’m Scared
I grew up in a family that did not have much money. I’d only been to the dentist once in my life as a child and that was for a root canal treatment on a front tooth because of an infection. We didn’t have enough money for the crown so my tooth was left with […]
