Pain after crown on tooth: I had root canal couple of months back.

Post-crown pain on root canal tooth
Mar 19, 2018

The most likely scenario in this case is an occlusal issue (high bite on temp or permanent crown). I would have your dentist re-eval the “bite” and that likely will resolve your issue. Failing root canals, etc are possible.. but unlikely.
Hope this helps.

What are the most natural looking dental crowns in 2018?

Best crowns
Feb 10, 2018

Any of the crowns that contain no metal are biocompatible (all porcelain). In general the strength of the crown and the “beauty” are inversely proportional to each other. In other words, the stronger the crown the less beauty it has. This has to do with the translucency of the material. Most indications do not require the strongest crown… therefore a good lab technician can create beautiful and strong restorations. The feldspathic porcelains are still the best looking … eve…

Is it normal to have throbbing and somewhat intense pain in your mouth after getting a dental imp

Pain after implant
Feb 1, 2018

Typically there is very little post-op pain with implant placement. When there is more than mild discomfort immediately after the placement, it could be that the implant was torqued really tightly during insertion.. which is not necessarily a bad thing. Also, if there was a considerable amount of gum tissue manipulation, extra pain can be expected. Additionally, the implant could be pressing on a nerve canal or creating inflammation around a nerve canal that is causing the uptick in…

Can I be put to sleep (IV) and get an extensive amount of dental work done all at one time?

Sedation and treatment limits
Jan 31, 2018

Hi,
Typically it is safe for a healthy adult to be sedated for up to 3 hours without any major risks, assuming the correct monitoring equipment is in place. There are lots of variations to patient responses to sedation but assuming that your sedation proceeds as planned.. the amount of work that can be done will be limited only by the efficiency and expertise of the dentist. It’s all in the planning!

Wait time for scan after extraction?

CBCT typically 3 months after extraction
Jan 27, 2018

Typically one should wait about three months before getting a CBCT scan for implant planning. It typically takes this amount of time for the bone that’s forming to mature enough and actually show up on the scan, which essentially is a three-dimensional x-ray for hard bone tissue. This would give the most accurate image for planning purposes.

Is it legitimate for dentists to require payment in full before beginning months of cosmetic work

Yes
Jan 24, 2018

Hi.
The reason this is commonly done is for several reasons and they are practical and psyhological. Firstly, on bigger cases like yours, there is often a great deal of lab work and time investment in planning the case so that it looks and feels great when completed and also so that any long term complications are minimized. For obvious reasons, you do not want to have to replace anything only a few years after having it done. The lab work itself can be very costly to the dentist as well as…

Are Ankylos syncone caps something I can buy? Where? Do they have to be Ankylos or is there a com

Syncone Caps
Jan 21, 2018

Unfortunately, these caps are not avail directly to public. Dental labs and dentists can order them perhaps for you at cost maybe. You’ll have to ask.
The other question is whether or not the caps are being used right in the denture. If not, they can cause abrasion on the implant abutments causing less retention. This will require new abutments AND caps… way more costly!! Proceed carefully.
