Q.
A week ago I started wearing a complete denture for my upper mouth but now have a problem where it feels like there is something stuck on my tongue all the time. It feels like a hair or something but no matter what I do I can’t get rid of it? is there a problem with the denture?
A.
Is the sensation present with the denture out. If so, it is not related to the denture. It is not clear what you may be experiencing but if you are concerned by it bring it to the attention of your dentist.

Q.
I have been told by my dentist that I am going to need to get my denture relined. This comes after I told him it felt more loose than usual. Could you please tell me what this actually is as I only have a vague idea?
A.
hi many thanks for your email, a reline of a denture is placing more accrylic material on the fitting surface of the denture so the denture surface fits closer to the gums so is less loose. hope this is helpful.

Q.
Do 6 month smiles always stick to the time limit as the name says? Or does it sometimes go over the limit. I am in need of getting my teeth straightened before my wedding in 8 months so they seem like a great option for me.
A.
Six Month Smiles is an aproximate time frame. Many cases are completed in 6 months but some may take longer depending on the situation. With 8 months available if you start now you could very well be finished in time for the wedding.

Q.
What treatment options are available for an open bite. It is something that has developed over time until I just can’t put up with it anymore. I have heard some braces can help with this, is there any other treatment avialable?
A.
hi many thanks for your email, the best advice would be to seek an orthodontist who would be able to give you more advice on this.

Q.
If I were to acquire a home teeth whitening kit from a dental practice then would it all be up to me from then on to keep things going? Would there be any more appointments at the dentist or will I just be sent on my way.
A.
Once you have the take home whitening it is up to you to use it. The dentist is there to check your progress and be available if you have any problems or questions.

Q.
I had a filling yesterday which went quite deep into the tooth. Since then I have been experiencing pain which I have done so before when getting fillings before? Is this normal? The filling went quite deep so is there any chance it has hurt the nerves?
A.
hi many thanks for your email, if the filling was deep then there tooth can sometimes take time to settle, if the tooth does not settle the fillinf maybe too deep and the tooth may require
root canal treatment. hope this is helpful.

Q.
i have been to Clear choices and found that the pricing is so far from anything i feel i can afford even though they offered free financing. please give me a ball park quote on full upper and lower implants.
A.
The pricing will vary depending on where you live as well as the expertise of the person rendering the treatment. Additionally, the fee will vary due to how many implants are used. An implant supported upper denture with 2 implants and lower implant supported denture with 2 implants could easily cost $8 to $10 thousand dollars. A full reconstruction with 6-12 implants could reach $75-$80 thousand dollars. Dr. Lemongello
Q.
I had lingual braces fitted one week ago and have been experiencing quite a lot of discomfort as the brackets seem to be rubbing against my tongue. Is this a normal occurrence or do I need them refitted?
A.
Unfortunately, you will be challenged by the location of the lingual braces….You will however get more used to them as time goes on.
