I need a mouth makeover, what do you suggest?

Friday, February 25th, 2011
Q.
Please help, I need a mouth makeover! The majority of my teeth were extracted when i was younger because of gum disease and i’m pretty sure i have more than enough money now to get them fixed again with implants or something? Also the ones i do have are chipped and discoloured, do they need to be replaced? thanks.
A.
You should be able to replace any of the old ones that are chipped and discolored if you would like. You can also add implants to restore your mouth to health.  I recommend you contact a qualified dentist who can restore your mouth to health.  Dr. Lemongello

I have bad dental phobia, can I be put to sleep for my treatment?

Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Q.
Can I be put to sleep for dental implants because I am very scared of the dentist and treatment. Implants sounds like a very painful procedure so can you please advise for me?
A.

Some dentists provide that service of IV sedation.  Most provide a medication that will allow you to be sedated comfortably and usually this is enough for that procedure.

Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Q.
I chipped a front tooth in a accident a fortnight ago. I thought I may only needed it to be filled so i booked an appointment. Turns out i’ve damaged the nerve of that tooth! I might need a tooth extraction, are there any alternatives to this?? Thank you
A.
If it is not savable, then you will have to consider a bridge or implant to replace the missing tooth.

7 of my CEREC crowns have failed, what do I do now?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.
Hi, I have nine Cerec Crowns, and seven of them have failed. The Cerec Crowns that fell out had metal in them. Is this typical of Cerec? Also four of the Seven teeth had to be extracted. Can these extractions affect my other teeth? I asked because I had a Gold Crown that was fine until two teeth were removed on the opposite side. Now the gumline is coming away from this Gold Crown and a infection has occured. The loss of these teeth have affected me greatly. Have you ever heard of this type of failure rate on Cerec Crowns now or in the past? The Dentist that placed these Cerec Crowns was just learning how to use the machine. I am so concerned about my teeth and just need honest answers. Thank you,
A.
Cerec crowns have a high success rate if performed properly and cemented with the appropriate techniques.  Cerec crowns do not contain metal so either Cerec crowns were not done or you have inadvertently mixed up which crowns were Cerec and which were traditional crowns with gold base. Tooth loss will not affect your other teeth directly but can affect your bite and cause additional stress to your existing teeth accelerating problems with them.  Any gum infection needs to be treated immediately.  I would make the dentist who originally treated you aware of the situation but you may elect to see another dentist for treatment.  Dr. Lemongello

I would like a full mouth reconstruction, what is the first step I have to take?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.
Hi, I am in dire need of a full mouth reconstruction. Over the years, I’ll admit I haven’t looked at me teeth as good as I should have and the majority of fallen out, as a result of this my mouth now appears to be fallen to one side. My front teeth have decayed badly and my gums bleed a lot. I know I should get this looked at but I can’t afford dental care and I have a major phobia of the dentist. What do you recommend I do? Thank you Dr.
A.
Dentistry has changed in many positive ways.  You are going to have to contain your fear and seek the help of a dentist.  Many dentists are trained in conscious sedation to reduce your fear and anxiety. Unfortunately, extensive dental treatment can be costly.  Start by consulting with a qualified dentist who specializes in complex dentistry.  You can then discuss your options and cost of treatment. Financing may be necessary.  Dr. Lemongello
