What are my options for replacing a missing front tooth?
There are really three options for replacing a missing tooth. 1) Have some kind of a denture made. We can even make one-tooth dentures called flippers. 2) Have a bridge made. This option does not work if you have lost the very back tooth in your mouth. There is no back tooth to bridge to. 3) Place an implant, and a crown on that implant. READ MORE

My teeth are always yellow even after i brush it everyday
Sometimes, the yellow is still plaque, and we have to be fairly aggressive to get the plaque off our teeth. I would start by getting an electric toothbrush, and see if that makes a difference. If your teeth are still yellow, you always have the option of bleaching your teeth. READ MORE
How can I prevent infection after dental implant?
When we place an implant, there no longer is a periodontal ligament to attach the gums to the tooth. So, we must floss all the way around the tooth. We must work the floss under the crowns as far as you can get it and clean out any debris. Also, a waterpik can be helpful. You just need to be careful to not turn it all the way up. Use the pik at about a level 4. And always a good mouth rinse three times a day would help to clean out those gums. Dr. Doman READ MORE

No. You do not. READ MORE
Do crowns weaken the teeth?
We crown a tooth for a few reasons. We crown it because it has cracked. We crown it because the filling is more than 50% of the biting surface of the tooth, and we are trying to prevent it from cracking. Or we crown it because it has been treated for a root canal and it has died, making it more brittle and susceptible to cracking. READ MORE
What can you eat with a permanent crown?
You treat that crown as if it is a normal tooth. READ MORE
Can a tooth get infected under a bridge?
Yes. The tooth can always get infected. The bridge is metal, but underneath it is still tooth structure. As long as bacteria can find a way to the tooth structure, that tooth can get infected. It usually happens at the edge where the tooth meets the crown/bridge. READ MORE
Can a dentist do a gum graft?
A dentist can do a gum graft legally, but we are not trained to do it in dental school. They must receive additional training to do it. Typically gum grafts are done by a periodontist. READ MORE
