Hi Swanangel. Could you PM me with the details of the place? Going to have to go to the dentists soon. Thanks

Just so you guys know he is a Prosthodontist - the web explains it as this below.

Question: What is a Prosthodontist?

Answer: A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who is skilled in the replacement of missing teeth and the restoration of natural teeth. A prosthodontist has graduated from dental school and usually will have three or more years of continuing education after that.

This type of dental specialist is trained to deal with complicated and simple restorations of the whole mouth as well as treating facial deformities. Common procedures treated by a prosthodontist may include dentures, partial dentures, fixed bridges, crowns, implants, veneers and more.

Hi swanangel, could I get a PM too? Cheers.

MarcsMrs · 28-06-2011, 23:28

Could you please please PM me the details of your dentist also?
My teeth are in a bad way, so much so it makes me cry! All my own fault....I had a bad experience as a kid & have been too scared to go to the Dentist over the years! Now they are in a bad way & its going to cost loads to get them fixed

Still very frightened about going to see a dentist at all though!

Hi SwanAngel, I badly need a front crown, would you mind passing on the details of your prosthodontist? Thank you much!

donaghs · 06-07-2011, 20:34

Hi Swanangel. Glad treatment went well. Could you please PM me the details of your ROI dentists?

Or if anyone has a good PM recommendation for a Newry dentist either? thanks

Swanangel, would you mind PM'ing the details of the prosthodontist/dentist?

BTW, how long would the crown(s) last?

tia.

Hi there,

I sent that PM on to you.

It's best to talk to a dental professional about that as I couldn't say how long.
It can depend on how well you look after them, the type of crown,what teeth are being crowned (there's more force from chewing on back teeth so a stronger material would be used I think porcelain fused to metal) or something else, mine will be porcelain crowns, they recommended I get this type as it is my 6 front teeth, can't get away with hiding those front bad boys!

Now if some dental peeps read this they might give you a better answer, I know there would be an expected or hoped for length of time that dental professionals have for crowns but unfortunately I am no dentist so prob better I leave that answer to them.

So just to update I have had the temp crowns in for a few weeks now, it's an all in one piece that looks like 6 front teeth, people practically nose to nose with me have not noticed and the temp is so settled in I don't even notice it now. I don't bite into things as I just don't want to do it with the temps in, although I was told I can but I would just prefer not too until the real ones are in.

The first few days my gums were red and it had not settled so when I looked up close at it in the mirror it didn't look as natural as it does now, but unless you actually opened up your mouth like you see horses do and pointed it out to someone they wouldn't have noticed ( yes I was opening up my mouth like a horse when they make those funny sounds and show all their teeth examining my temp crowns in the mirror!)

So I am back in on Thursday for an in office whitening (1hour) I have been doing night-time whitening wearing trays in my upper and lower teeth which will be two weeks of that on Thursday, if your thinking that wearing the trays (picture a very thin plastic gum shield made in the exact shape of my teeth from a mould they took) is annoying - it's not you can close your mouth (and talk in your sleep like I do) no problem.

So I actually have all in one 6crown temp and lower and upper teeth trays in at night and go to sleep no problem and this is from a person who used to have to hold the suction myself at dental appointments because having things touching off my tongue or left unaided in mouth made me panic, yay me! I still get this feeling of triumph now after even a routine dental check-up as I remember my first time at the dentist since a bad experience as a kid, she had to stop and couldn't do the filling as my whole body was shaking so much, I'm such a pro now ha!

So as I said no pain associated with the crowns so far, but I don't think I should comment about weather or not I got pain with the whitening as peoples teeth have different sensitivity levels when it comes to that and I think it is better to get a bundle of reviews from various people/on-line ect and speak to the dental team about that, also I didn't set out to tell you guys about whitening but it is part of my treatment plan now, this is the first time I have ever tried whitening so I have nothing to compare it against.
But I will let you know if they are whiter after this week, again all peoples teeth are not the same so get various reviews before you choose a product as just because one persons go really white with one product might not mean the same for you.

Hello swanangel,

Looking forward to your review. Can you send me a pm with the name also?

Price aside, why did you choose this dentist? Did you look at many beforehand and how was your overall experience?

i got an elbow a few months back playing football and it chipped one of my front teeth and i have been putting off going to the dentist out of worry yet ill hop into a sparring match in my gym.

It got to the stage where i considered going to new york as they use the gas and I would need other work done.
