  • How long after endodontic treatment will I get a crown?

    I would suggest you talk to your dentist and endodontist about this. Current research suggest not every endodontically treated tooth requires a crown. They can also suggest a better timeframe.

  • Can a dental crown be reattached?

    A lot of times it can, but the cause of it becoming loose will determine if it can or cannot. A crown that fell off because of recurrent decay cannot. A crown that came off due to a fractured tooth sometimes can. Finally, a crown that came off due to cement failure typically can. You'll need a dentist to evaluate the remaining tooth structure to decide what category you fall into. Thanks, Dr P READ MORE

  • Can a root canal infection fix itself?

  • How many dental implants can I get?

    You can get however many implants that a surgeon could place based on your biology and health history READ MORE

  • Is gum swelling normal after getting a crown?

    It can be. The dentist or dental assistant may have used retraction cord to push the gums away from the tooth. This can cause gingival trauma. Otherwise the gums may be sore due to excess cement around the crown or invasion of the biological width of the tooth. You'll want to follow-up with your dentist if the swelling and pain persists for longer than a couple of days. READ MORE

  • Should I take my dentures out every night?

    The answer is dentist and procedure specific. If the doctor said you could, you can. If they said you cant, you should have a follow up appointment scheduled. My best advice is to call the office that delivered the prosthesis. READ MORE

  • Why are my gums swollen around my crown?

  • Can I get a bridge instead of dental implant?

  • Is it normal to have pain after a root canal procedure?

    That is a great question! The procedure should be relatively pain free. A local anesthesia will be administered. Some mild pain can be expected after the procedure is completed. OTC NSAIDS can be used to help alleviate pain, make sure you check with your physician to ensure youre healthy enough for NSAIDS. If the pain persists beyond what NSAIDS can help with, or if it lasts for more than a couple days; or extreme swelling, purulence, or fracture of the remaining tooth, its advisable to contact your provider for a reevaluation. Hope it helps! Dr P READ MORE

  • What foods to avoid after dental implants?

    The process of placing a dental implant is very patient and location specific. You must follow the directions of your dental surgeon. But, once its healed and properly assembled you should able to eat most foods without issues! Hope this helps Dr P READ MORE

  • Does it hurt getting a crown on an implant?

    A normal implant crown should NOT hurt. It should feel like a natural tooth. That being said, sometimes getting a tooth removed in preparation for an implant can hurt and your surgeon might decide to give you pain relievers. If your implant is hurting after the healing process is completed, you NEED to visit a dentist office IMMEDIATELY. This could be a sign that your implant/abutment/crown need additional treatment. I hope this helps! Dr P READ MORE
