  • Do I Need Bone Grafting?

    I’ve been reading a lot of dental websites to try and get a better smile. Yours has some good information. Here are my problems. I know my teeth are showing their age and will need to be whitened. I also have had a dental bridge since I was fifteen. I can see the area looks…
  • Should I Switch Dentists in the Middle of My Implant Procedure?

    I was getting a crown replaced and also needed to get a tooth replaced. My dentist suggested that I get a dental implant after some bone grafting to fill in the missing bone structure.  I agreed. We went ahead with the procedure. Once the bone grafting was done, he provided me with a Maryland Bridge…
  • Dentist Only Gave Her One Option, Which Is Unethical

    I had a couple of accidents when I was in elementary school I had a couple of accidents that damaged my front tooth. Over the years it has turned an ugly brown. I want to get it fixed but my dentist said I’d need a dental implant to do that because there is not enough…
  • Implant Bridge Does Not Match My Bite

    I had a dental implant bridge placed, but it does not match up with the rest of my bite. Now the side of my teeth with the dental bridge hits first when I bite down, which hurts a LOT. I am wondering if the surgeon did something wrong. He insisted that he was in charge…
  • Dental Implant Failure Disaster

    I had to get a dental implant because of a serious infected tooth. I had a crown but there was another infection, so the dentist said it had to be pulled.  He suggested I get a dental implant. When he gave me the Novocain for the tooth extraction, it felt like the needle went into…

    I have a problem with both of my lateral incisors on my upper teeth. One of them is completely missing and never came in. The other is smaller than it should be. I want to fix this before I go to college. I have a dental flipper for the missing tooth area currently, but my…
  • Dental Implant Failure…again

    I went to my dentist for dental implants. He’s done quite a bit of them for other people so I felt fairly confident. When he went in for the first surgery, he ended up not giving me the dental implant because he said there was not enough bone structure to retain it. He suggested we…
  • Implant Placed With Poor bone Density

    I need some advice about how to proceed. I went to a dentist about getting a dental implant. My dentist does not do them, so I looked for someone who advertised. We did a consultation, he took some x-rays, and said everything was fine. The day of the surgery, though, he told me when he…
  • Can I Trust Comfort Dental?

    A little over a year ago, I had a bridge put across my upper front using the canine teeth as anchors. Since then, the canine teeth have come loose and now they need to be replaced. Comfort Dental did the bridge so I went back to them for advice. They’ve suggested a partial denture. I…
  • She Shouldn't Trust This Dentist

    I am going to be honest and up front with you that I am not the best dental patient. Being in the dental chair makes me nervous in the best of circumstances so I tend to avoid dental work as much as possible. This is likely why this happened to me. I was in a…
