Why is it that dental insurance will not cover for dental implants?  I do not see how implants are cosmetic dental services when someone needs to have teeth.  I have dental insurance though my job and they will not cover me for any thing other the a bridge or partial.

When you lose a tooth and or teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay or trauma what is the best solution.   My dentist is telling me the best way to replace missing teeth is by dental implants.  Is that true?  What are some other solutions?  Would they be better or worse then having dental implants?

There is not much medically that can be done to replace the missing tooth. If it is lost due to an accident, and the tooth is recovered quickly enough, you can sometimes have it reattached, but often too much time passes between the loss of the tooth and getting the person to a doctor or dentist. Often, the only choice for those who need to replace a tooth is a dental implant.
Dental implants are artificial roots for a tooth that is placed in your mouth and attached to a replacement tooth or a bridge. They do not rest on other teeth to support the replacement tooth, but rather are rooted into the gums. They are extremely naturalistic, and those who receive dental implants often do not even notice a difference in their oral function after the surgery has healed.

I am so up set right now.  I just broke my tooth in half vertically while I was eatting.   Can a dentist fix my tooth with out pulling it out?  I do not want to lose my tooth.   I made a dental appointment but I have to wait three days before they can take me in.   Can I save my tooth?

I have always had bad teeth and the last dentist I had really jacked my teeth up more so I know that they really can not be fixed.  I did find a new dentist that I like and he is really good but is limited to what he can do with the teeth that are left and making them look good.

Can a dental bonding fix a chip tooth?

I have a small chipped tooth in the front where everyone can see it.  I do not have money for veneers but a friend of mine said that I may be able to fix the chip without any veneers and just have it bonded.  The dentist I went to see about the chip said I should get a veneer.  However veneers would have cost over 900.00.  My dental insurance dose not cover for veneers.   Is bonding really cheaper?   Can it fix a chip tooth and make it look better.

I had veneers put on a few of my frount teeth about three years ago.  One of them came off just the other day.  My question is the veneer it self looked ok.  It did not seem broke or chiped.  Can the dentist just use that same veneer and put it back on my tooth?  They are not cheap and my dental insurance did not cover me when I had them put on the frist time.  I would not like to have to pay for a new one.   Also my tooth that had the veneer did not look so great.  do I have to worry about it braking or getting any cavities?   Like to know what other people think before I ask my dentist  about this. I am worried about asking a stupid question.
