Q. I am very scared to go to the dentist. This fear has become even greater as I have not dared go for ages and subsequently my teeth have got even worse and now I am even more terrified of what the dentist may say is necesasry to fix them. It is the costs, te treatment, everyrhing that is scaring me. I need help but don’t know where to start. Can you please point me in the right direction?
A. I recommend you contact a dentist who offeres sedation. Schedule a consult and meet with the dentist to discuss your fears. Once you take this step and are comfortable with the dentist let them complete an examination and consult you further on your dental health needs. Take small steps and communicate with the dentist about sedating you for treatment. Over time your fear will be reduced enough to move forward. Dr. Lemongello

Q. i know what gum contouring is but not entirely sure what tooth contouring is, could you simplify the procedure for me and please tell me why you might need this? I have very small teeth and large gums so i have a very gummy smile but the dentist said he wouldn’t go ahead with surgery on my gums because then my teeth would become very loose I don’t know what else I can do. Thank you for any advice in advance.
A. Tooth recontouring is reshaping the tooth. Usually this is used when you have a small chip or worn area on a tooth. The tooth is recontoured, blending the chip or worn area into a more natural shape. Tooth contouring will not improve your situation. Unless you have loose teeth now the probability of having loose teeth after gum recountouring is small. For an example of what is possible visit our website www.lernerlemongello.com. Under the smile gallery look at Flavia’s teeth. Flavia is the photo on the top row, third from the left. With the proper treatment this is a predicatable outcome. Contact our office if you would like a consultation. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Hi doc; My question to u is, I have 4 tooth missing from my upperright side and 4 from my upper left side that is from the eye teeth going back. How many implants would it take to replace them. Is it 1 implant per tooth.
A. The maximum number would be 8 and the minimum number would be 4. In general the more implants placed the better because you are replacing each missing tooth individually. However, sometimes this is not practical due to the amount of bone remaining to support the implants or financial reasons. In this case, implant supported bridges can be placed to reduce the number of implants required. Dr. Lemongello

Q. What is the difference between: invisalign, invisalign express and invisalign teen? I’m 16 years old and looking into invisalign, there isn’t a lot of information about invisalign teen and express. Thank you.
A. Invisalign, Invisalign Express and Invisalign Teen are all the same treatment. Each is a different category based on the complexity of treatment needed or the age of the patient. Th
e choice is made by the dentist as to which to use. In your case Invisalign Teen might be chosen but the others may work as well. Dr. Lemongello

Q. I have a strange and probally uncommon qustion I’m lookin for a dentist that maybe willing to do some work for wy girlfriend She is losing her teeth rapidly she has told me that when she was a child she suffered from im not to sure the name for sure but it was called bottle rot or crib rot but it lead to hear havin bad teeth her entier life she is now 26 and they are falling apart at an extream rate and she will soon have none left she has just recently lots a few of her feeling and is now lookin at haveng another tooth pulled because she has only medicade and I hate to see the way it depresses her to know soon she won’t have any teeth left so i have been looking for a dentist with a kind heart to do some work for her pro bono or for a real cheap deal for she dose not work and i do support
her, her child and mine I work for the schools as a custoadian and dont make much thanks for your time
A. Thank you for sharing your situation, it is more common than you think. There are so many wonderful, deserving people but unfortunately the cost is prohibitive to providing charitable treatment to so many in need. I would suggest finding a dental school close to you and seeking care there. Usually the cost is considerably less in a teaching facility. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Can you tell me what the fastest and simplest way it is to close tooth gaps. I have them in abundance and now at 18 I know I should have got this fixed a lot sooner. I want a nice smile as soon as possible, but can you advise how I can achieve this?
A. The fastest way is some form placing tooth colored material to close the space. The two choices are: Composite bonding or porcelain veneers. Both have their advantages and disadvantages in longevity, predicatbility and outcome. Visit our website at www.lernerlemongello.com for examples. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Hello doctors and thank you for your time. I am planning on getting my teeth whitening but drawing nearer to the time it has also made me want to get my crooked teeth fixed. What would you recommend in order for me to accomplish this?
A. I would recommend a consultation to review your options. If you are a candidate for Invisalign you may be able to accomplish straightening and whitening at the same time. If not, many options exist to accomplish straight, white teeth. Visit our website at www.lernerlemongello.com for examples. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Are there any major health risks involved with receiving dental implants? I know there are risks with the surgery but I mean the actual implant? Will I suffer from bone loss or problems with the sedation or allergies, anything like that? I’d like to know a bit before I look into getting 2 dental implants with crowns.
A. As you are aware there is always some risk. With dental implants the surgery should be performed by a qualified surgeon, using state of the art systems and materials. Dental implants are very predictable with high success rates and very little risk of failure or other complications like you mentioned. Dr. Lemongello
