I am having a hard time getting my dentist to match my dental implant crown to match the rest of my teeth. I’ve had him re-do it twice already and he said if he has to re-do it again I risk losing the dental implant, which I definitely don’t want to do. He feels I […]
Read More...I am having a hard time with my dentures. They do not cover the area where I have my wisdom teeth were and I am chewing on my gums. My dentist seems to not think this is a problem. Am I wrong in thinking that they should cover this area? If I am, is there […]
Read More...I lost an upper tooth and was hoping to replace it with a dental implant. My dentist said that because I am on Fosamax that I am not a good candidate for a dental implant.

However, someone told me that the tooth might actually be dead. In that case, wouldn’t it be hurting? Should we remove it? If so, how […]
Read More...Someone sent me a blog post from a natural health advocate. In it they said that there is evidence that titanium implants cause neurological problems. I’m starting to worry about that because I already have one dental implant that is titanium. I’m scheduled to get another implant soon too. My questions are would I be […]
Read More...I have had two deep cleanings because of pockets and gaps I have. The pain I’ve been through is extraordinary. I don’t know if I can keep doing this because my teeth have been so sensitive since. Is this really as important as my dentist is making out? Elaine Dear Elaine, You clearly have some […]
