Can you get Invisalign with crowns on front teeth?
YES! In fact sometimes it is easier to do Invisalign than traditional braces if there are existing crowns on the teeth. Brackets are fairly easy to bond to the natural tooths enamel surface but sometimes can be tricky to bond to the porcelain surface of a crown. That being said each situation is different and a visit to the dentist to evaluate your teeth and bite will help answer all your questions to see if Invisalign is the right choice for you. READ MORE
What is the cheapest way to replace a missing tooth?
There are many ways to replace a missing tooth. You asked about the most economical replacement. That being said sometimes a flipper or an acrylic tooth on a retainer can be used to mask a gap in your smile. These usually run a couple hundred dollars depending on the number of teeth included and if any wire clasps will be needed to hold it in placed. The next option might be a type of bridge. This could range from bonded type bridge to a full coverage bridge. With this option teeth next to the missing tooth would be prepared, an impression taken and a lab (either sent out or in the office) would fabricate a prosthesis that would be attached to the remaining teeth to fill the space. Another way to fill the missing space would be a dental implant. While this may not seem economical up front over the years of service it provides it may become a very economical option. With this choice a titanium post is inserted into the jaw bone to replace the lost tooth root. After some healing time a crown can be attached to this implant to replace the missing tooth. A very predictable and long term solution. READ MORE
Do I need surgery to fix my wisdom tooth problems?
This is a really hard question to answer without seeing a dental x-ray. I would tell you most likely. If you are having pain and the wisdom teeth have not been extracted the best thing to do would be to visit a dental professional for an exam. A good majority of people do not have room for the 3rd molars and they often become infected. A dental professional will be able to help you but I would guess they need to come out. READ MORE
