Bone Graft 5 months after Implant with immediate load of temporary tooth.

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

I would suggest you review the entire treatment plan with your periodontist and get details on what was done and why? Your questions regarding the waiting time after the bone graft is something you should direct to the treating periodontist.

Are there any options for treating my severely gummy smile? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

If you are a candidate laser surgery is a great option. You would need an examination by a qualified laser periodontist with a full series of digital x rays to determine the best option and the best laser to use.
There are multiple wavelength lasers and the choice depends on your clinical exam and treatment objectives.

Would you suggest a gum lift? Or another type of surgery?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

It is difficult to quote fees on a forum like this because each patient presents differently at the time of the exam. The treatment might require a different laser or possibly a different approach to attain the cosmetic result that the patient is seeking.
Find an experienced laser periodontist that uses a number of different lasers so they can choose the safest and best one for your clinically situation.

I had a crowned tooth break off. The tooth had a root canal done on it so it doesn't' hurt. Can I get it sealed?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

You should be seen by an experienced laser periodontist to determine if there is enough tooth structure to place another crown safely. Sometimes a crown lengthening procedure might need to be done to do a replacement crown on a broken tooth. In extreme cases, the tooth cannot be saved and other options might need to be considered such as an implant or conventional bridge.
Of course an x ray and exam is mandatory.

I Hate my Gummy Smile, Should I Have Gum Reduction Surgery Before Getting Crowns/Veneers? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Usually, the best way to do a case like you are describing is to have a well qualified cosmetic dentist or prosthodontist work in conjunction with an experienced laser periodontist that uses multiple laser wavelength machines to ensure that the safest laser is used that will not damage any of the supporting structures in your mouth.
In fact, ask to see pictures of cases that the cosmetic dentist and periodontist have completed.
Then you can you see what you might expect to look like after your treatment.

Would it be beneficial for me to get laser gum surgery? I hate my small teeth and gummy smile (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Yes...it might be possible to have cosmetic laser gum surgery to attain a better appearance when you smile.
The important thing is to have the appropriate laser used (with the correct wavelength) so there won't be any damage to underlying bone and supporting structures in the mouth.
It is also advisable to seek the services of an experienced laser periodontist that uses multiple lasers so you can have the safest laser to do your treatment.

My permanent bridge doesn't fit. It's fallen off twice and I need new one. What can I do?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Sounds like there is a problem with the fit of the new bridge?
I would seek a 2nd opinion form a prosthodontist ( specialist in bridges) and see what they can tell you about your dental issues and how to rectify them.

1 month following root canal it hurts to chew hard things, sensitive to touch. What options do I have to treat this?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

If the root canal tooth is hurting, particularly when you bite down on food or simply to touch, then there is a good chance that the tooth could be fractured or the bite is excessive on the tooth.
I would suggest a consultation with an experienced periodontist and get an opinion.

My tooth is grey but isn't dead. If I got braces, would this affect my treatment?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

If the endodontist concluded that your discolored teeth were vital and alive, then moving ahead with your braces (orthodontic treatment) should be fine with the stipulation that you are monitored every month by the endodontist .

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

If you have adequate bone and have the proper protocol following the extraction of a maxillary molar, all should be good.With
the use of a proper laser , bone graft, and osteotome sinus augmentation this should do the trick in this area of your mouth.
