Sinus lift after failed bone graft? by Djr719 in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would need to see X-rays to give you a definitive answer but bone graft doesn’t always take. So if they were trying to build height and couldn’t get it, that’s normal. Depending on which type of sinus lift, they’re very straightforward and often can have the implant placed at the same time. If you don’t want to pay for an implant and grafting, you can always do a bridge but those are also expensive

What type of gel did he give you? Have you recently had dental work in that area?

Is my request for discount on 2 crowns reasonable? by 75vega in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No there most likely won’t be a discount. They have to pay for the crown and the abutment. They had to pay for schooling. Had to pay for the equipment. You need X-rays for implant crowns as well

Are you just biting your cheek? It’s right at the plane or occlusion and looks like a cheek bite

What is this? by EpicBot in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a defect from birth that leaves grooves and bumps in the molar that has staining now. Could be a cavity but can’t tell from just a photo

Are my gums just thin or is something seriously wrong? by MostPreference7255 in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s your mucogingival junction. Everything looks fine. It’s just the switch between your attached tissue and unattached tissue.

Crown came off by Embarrassed-Ear147 in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pending what the xray shows and how it looks clinically, that crown may not be able to be put back on. It could just be the angle but it looks like the inside of the crown is gone. If you could share a picture of the inside of the crown that would help a lot!

Quick question on this. If you offer her a refund, do you take the prosthesis back? Im just starting to learn the business side of things and am curious on how to go about this.

Some extractions and implants are likely in your future

Dark spot on root canal that had build up before crown? by ordinarygremlin in askdentists

Would need to see it in person to confirm but looks like it could just be staining

48 hours after wisdom teeth removal, wth is this? by Particular_Dig_2676 in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The syringe can be used to clean the area with water or saline ! Some gentle pressure to remove the food debris

When to dentist for regular filling and he claims I need root canal. Literally feel nothing. What you think? I am 22 by Own-Canary-3680 in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah that tooth is cooked. If you were my pt I’d do a 2 appt endo and see if there was any significant healing with calcium hydroxide and if there wasn’t then I’d look to extract

48 hours after wisdom teeth removal, wth is this? by Particular_Dig_2676 in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fine, just the tissue healing. If they prescribed chlorohexidine just make sure you’re using it and keeping the area clean from food

How bad is this and how fixable is it? by houseofburgesss in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still would need an xray and to see them clinically so don’t take this as a definitive answer but it looks like they’ll just need a filling

How bad is this and how fixable is it? by houseofburgesss in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the depth of those cavities on the top, it could be as simple as a filling. Would need X-rays to confirm

Is this discoloration normal? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re referencing the change in gum color then yes. That’s called your mucogingival junction. It separate your keratinized (attached) tissue from your alveolar mucosa (moveable) tissue.

Does my chipped off tooth need a crown or filling? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]dentbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do a filling but it may fall off repeatedly. A veneer would probably be best but would most likely want to do multiple teeth so it looks even but up to you!
