I had 2 root canals &then 2 crown on my front teeth. One crown came loose and i'm being told i will need an implant on front too I'm worried it will not match the other crown as it is now 7 years old.On top of that i had veneers put on on side teeth because the two crowns looked too large next to my natural teeth. Is it possible to replace my other crown when putting in the implant? and what about the venners, can they be replaced so i can have a uniform smile?Worried and depressed, please help
Don't Despair! Your case is not unique, I see it on a daily basis in my practice. Cases such as your must be planned carefully with laboratory ideal wax-ups to predict aesthetic and orthodontic considerations- as well as future implant placement. Achieving ideal results is not difficult with the proper planning.
For about 3yrs, is it still possible for me to replace them with dental implants and it still look natural and also could bone loss be a problem. I am 34yrs old. Thank you
It is a very significant factor that your teeth were lost at such a young age. One must assume that you had advanced and aggressive periodontal breakdown. A few steps are involved:
- Have a cat-scan prosthesis fabricated
- Get a Cone Beam Scan to determine quality and quantity of remaining bone.
Many procedures can be performed to augment your existing bone, including sinus augmentation along with implant placement. Your restorations would be determined by the number of implants placed, if necessary an overdenture or a full arch of crowns.
Have had inplant for a number of years, but now the tooth comes loose and my dentist has to continually tighten the nut. Is there a procedure that can repair the receptor which appears to have a small crack in the base.
Very important information is necessary:
- When was this implant placed?
- Who is the manufacturer?
- Is it an internal or external Hex Implant?
Loosening of screws is more common in the external hex implant/restoration interface. Often, screws must be replaced and switched to gold if possible. If there truly is a "crack" at the interface, then the new restoration should be fabricated.
