I am 35 years old but still have two baby teeth (both incisors). The adult teeth meant to replace them are still in the roof of my mouth. This really has never been a problem, they were just slightly smaller than they should be but it wasn't all that noticable. Well the right one has broken in half and so now it is really a problem. What are my best options and how do I find the best dentist for the job. I had one dentist years ago suggest pulling the 2 small ones and having oral surgery and braces to position the adult teeth. I have also heard about "capping" or getting a porcelain veneer and just deal with cosmetics of this. It doesn't hurt at all... it just looks awful. ...Visitor from FL (answer)
Broken teeth and upper bone structure: My relative had a motorcycle acident and hit his mouth about 3 months ago. He crushed the upper bones, front bones in his mouth, knocked out several teeth, and one side of his nose "drops" due to lack of boney support. The oral surgeon on call keeps changing his info. He plans to harvest a bone from his eye orbit, requiring plastic surgery. The bone will be implanted into the frontal upper gum area requiring possible tissue grafts later. Then at least 3 dental implants. The procedure is expected to take 3 years? Why would a bone be harvested from his facial region, the surgeon's concern that a pelvic bone could be used but would require hospitalization. The dentist missed on 4 previous visits 1-2 cracked teeth in the back of his mouth which were found by a colleage. He plans to do all of these procedures out patient. Bone graft 9-12 months healing, soft tissue graft from the thigh, endosseous implants to replace #7,8,& 11, taking place over 2-3 years. This has gone from a quick and uncomplicated procedure to a more complicated. He has not had any bone fragments from the "crushed area". Lacerations were sutured and a metal bar placed in for stabilization for 7 weeeks. Does this treatment appear to be appropriate? ...Visitor from SC (answer)
Broken Teeth - Speech Pain: After an accident I had my upper left front tooth crowned and my upper right tooth bonded to fill some parts that were knocked off. The bonding material comes off every few weeks and I keep having to have it replaced. There was some trauma to my jaw also. Now when I talk my lower teeth contact very hard with the bottom edge and back of my upper front teeth. It's painful and breaks the restorations frequently. Should I continue having restorations done frequently or try and find a solution for this odd bite? I wear an occlusal splint on my lower jaw. Thanks ...Visitor from London England (answer)
Repairing Broken Teeth: When I was young I didn't like brushing my teeth ...therefore I had a lot of cavities. Mostly all my teeth are filled. I have four teeth that broke and there's nothing left except for a rigid edge on the one and the other ones there's barely anything. It is hard to eat because they're mostly my molars. My front teeth fillings are stained. Is there any way to fix this? ...Visitor from CT (answer)
Broken molars need extraction? I have 1 molar on each side of my mouth on the bottom part that are broken badly. There is only about 1/2 a crown remaining on both of them. My nerve is exposed on both sides and I do feel pain which tells me the nerve is still alive. Do I have to get them extracted or is there something else I could do? ...Visitor from NY (answer)
