The doctor and staff were great! I had very minimal to no pain during my appointments and they were done with my treatment really quick and efficiently. Communication between us was great and it was a very nice and modern practice! I'm looking forward to my next visit!
The easiest option and most economical option is to have the areas re-bonded. I would however ague that veneers on your teeth may be the best option long term cosmetically and from a strength standpoint. See your dentist to go over all these options. Good luck!
If your crown came off and you cannot see any remaining tooth or posts in your gum, then most likely you will need to have the tooth extracted and will need to begin thinking about dental implants, mini dental implants and/or a bridge to replace the missing tooth. If you cannot see anything sticking out of the gum and the crown looks like it has broken off with the tooth/post cemented inside of it then you more than likely will not have enough tooth left to support a new crown. From time to time it is possible to do an new crown though with a post, but your dentist will need to take an x ray and diagnose the problem for you. Hope this helps! Good luck!
I would recommend seeing your dentist for an evaluation. Anytime you are having pain with a crown upon biting that isn't a good sign. Most likely the crown/tooth has been bothered by decay or potentially a crack over the years. I would recommend an x ray to see your dentist for an evaluation. It sounds like there may be potential for a root canal but at the very least a bite adjustment. Your dentist will diagnose the problem and help you fix it! Good Luck!
Age is not a stipulation for dental implants, so just because you are 77 years old does not mean that you would not qualify for dental implants. If you are interested in implants you should see your dentist and let them evaluate the amount of bone and the quality of bone in your jaw. Your medical history and medications can be of concern as well. Sometimes if you do not have enough bone or high quality bone for conventional implants then Mini Dental Implants can even be an option for you. Absolutely talk to your dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon. Thanks and good luck!
I am a Clearcorrect provider as well and I can understand wanting to get through ortho as quickly as possible, but I feel as though there is a reason why the big brands (Invisalign/ClearCorrect) recommend wearing the trays for a minimum of 2 weeks. To much pressure to quick can cause loose/mobile teeth and unnecessary pain in my opinion. There are now quite a few clear aligner companies on the market that have different aspects of treatment, so maybe this is not of concern any more, but I am leery and have not heard of VPRO5 myself.
