Q. I am going to get four teeth removed because of gum disease and will be getting a partial denture soon after when the gums are sorted. He then said that some time after that I can get dental implants to cplete the job. I am unsure about implants and was wondering if a bridge may be a suitable alternative to the implants? Which would you say is the bestter option for me seen as I have had gum disease, well still have it.
A.
It is difficult to assess your situation. Usually if you are a candidate for implants they are planned initially. Implants are your best option but depending on what teeth remain and the condition of those teeth bridges may be considered. Speak to your dentist about the expected treatment.

Q. Is the maryland bridge a particularly good one. My dentist has recommended it to me but it seems quite expensive. What is the deal with it and are there any cheaper alternatives?
A.
A Maryland bridge is a good solution when the teeth next to the missing tooth are still healthy. Replacing a missing tooth in an esthetic natural appearing way can be costly when done right. Other alternatives are a single tooth dental implant and crown. This option may be similar in cost to the bridge.The least expensive option is a removal partial denture that you take in and out of your mouth.

Q. Over 14 years I have had my veneers replaced two times and I am now going to need to get them replaced again. Is there not other option as I bound to need to get them replaced in not too many years.
A. Replacement of veneers every 7 years sounds like a lot. It is unusual to hear this. Full coverage crowns may have to be an option if you choose to do this again.

Q. I have a dental crown that keeps falling out and to no error of my own as far as I am concerned. I have already paid once to get it put back in but is it worth doing so again. Should I get some other treatment or is this even doewn to some fault with the dentist that the crown she put in keeps falling out? Thanks.
A. I would consider a second opinion from another dentist. You may want to get an opinion before it falls off again but once off a new doctor may be able to give you a better idea why it won’t stay on. Dr. Lemongello
