my teeth looks awful. everything is messed up. im missing 5 and 1 is decaying. im planning to have it remove but it is my wisdom tooth. im afraid that if i had it removed i wont be able to get braces. have any suggestions! tnx!

 

which 5 teeth are you missing? the best thing is to go to your general dentist and find out what treatment plan would benefit you more.

Are you trying to replace those 5 missing teeth by getting braces in hopes that the braces will fill in the gaps?

I highly suggest going to a dentist so he can evaluate your case and tell you what treatment plan would be best for what you are trying to accomplish and what he thinks is necessary to restore your dental health. It will be hard to give any suggestions without having examined you...it's one of those things na kailangang i-evaluate nang dentist with xrays and complete exam. The dentist will evaluate if you are a candidate for braces to replace those missing teeth or maybe replacing them with prosthetics.

Docs,

 

question ko lang po, i have this molar tooth(Right side) with pasta na nasira/nabiyak ang inner side ng tooth,nakakagat kasi ng matigas(stone ata yun humalo sa rice)medyo manipis na rin kasi cya sa kapapasta,kaya pa kaya ma remedy ulit ng pasta 'to? can you reccommend kung what's best na gawin? I noticed also na parang gumagalaw na sya..pede kaya ipa bunot?

 

Tnx!

Greetings Esteemed Docs!

 

I'm searching for a dentist to help out a charity case of mine, she is not of great means, (daughter of my staff), she needs an impression made upper anterior 4 units (plus opposing for articulation) to make a 4 unit fixed bridge (which I will provide from a lab i am attached to).

 

can you recommend please? preferably near fairview area, but anywhere is fine.

 

your advise is greatly appreciated. again, she is of very modest means so hopefully budget friendly, total impression and fitting nalang..

It sounds like you've had a sizeable filling on that tooth and the tooth structure has been compromised. In most cases, you have 3 treatment options. IF there's still tooth structure to hold the filling then you can do the filling pero baka temporary lang yun and you'll have the same problem again. The second option and the ideal way to go is to crown the tooth...which sounds like your case. Or you also have the option of extracting the tooth...but I wouldn't recommend it. Although pulling teeth may seem like an easy and least expensive solution, dental health wise hindi recommended dahil you would still have to replace those teeth you extract- which is more costly in the long run. One more thing, take care of that molar as soon as you can while you can still save it.

 

Hope this helps...

I'm sorry I can't help you with the cost kasi sa states ako base at iba ang presyo dito compare diyan.

 

To make you feel good, dito a crown would range from $800 to $1000 depending on the type of crown you

want...porcelain or gold....yan I'm sure you'll appreciate the prices there in PI. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

It shouldn't hurt unless you have a low pain tolerance.

hi mtc dentists!

 

i need to get a wisdom tooth removed. its "impacted", is that bad?

whenever the dentists say that its always accompanied by a "tsk, tsk" sound

 

do i need a dental surgeon? any recommendations? its buried in the gumline, the only thing showing is the crown.

 

thanks in advance docs :mtc:

I dont like dentures sa molar ko, meron pa bang ibang way aside sa dentures?

 

Nagkakaroon na kasi ng space ang mga teeth ko eh. Need your help.

hello there,

 

if you don't feel comfortable wearing dentures to replace your missing molars , its always best to consider having implants placed on those particular areas. You just have to make sure of several things, first of which is the availability of bone remaining , meaning is there enough bone height, bone width and bone density. You also have to ask the dentist what system he will be using , there are numerous systems in the market today , each has thier own high points and weakness, it would be in your best interest to do some independent research, you might want to ask what type of restorations he will use ;again there are numerous choices, from regular porcelain cemented crowns to the more recently developed Zirconium-Yttrium based restorations. take tour pick. Also consider the dentist experience of the dentist . I know it sounds trivial but i think a well trained dentist with enough experience should perform the surgery .

 

hope this helps

kung sa tingin mo ay buong ngipin mo ang nakikita at kaunti nalang ang pinagkakapitan, malang na nauubusan ka na ng buto, malaking problema ito, kung ang binabalak mong ipalagay ay implant , kung bumaba ng husto ang buto, malamang na kailangang magdagdag pa ng buto bago pa ilagay ang implant ang tawag dito ay "bone grafting" or guided bone regeneration, mahal at may katagalan ang proseso, ang dahilan ng hindi mo pagkakaramdam ng sakit ay dahil sa tinatawag na "chronic" condition, sa madaling salita matagal ng nilalabanan ng katawan mo ang infection, malamang na sumakit na iyan ng ilang beses at hindi mo lang ininda, pero dahil sa pagbaba ng buto, mo lang napapansin, mahal ang implant, ewan ko lang

kung magkano ang singil dyan sa manila, dito sa states ay naguumpisa sa $1,800- 2,000. /implant at about $2,000.00/bone grafting. hindi pa kasama dito and ngipin on top of it .

it seems to me that you might want to have your bite or in dental term "occlusion" checked , are you missing some tooth in the back , i mean your molars , if you are that means you are just puting alot of force on your front tooth and causing the gums and bone to go down. occlusion/bite is important, if there is no stable bite, its like a house that doesn't have a solid foundation ,i highly suggest that you see a periodontist or a gum specialist, i know a couple who are trained in the states and do practice there in manila, very capable. a bit pricey but i think its worth it especially if it is your front tooth, gums and bones don't grow back by itself without proper intervention, Guided bone/tissue regeneration is the procedure that needs to be done, together with a properly done root planning and scalling if not
