Dental partials- do they hook on to neighboring teeth or not?Can they be fixed(permanent)?

There are three bottom teeth on my left side that need pulled due to decay. Pulling them will leave nothing back there but a gap. Don%26#039;t partials have to have other teeth to hook onto?

Dental partials- do they hook on to neighboring teeth or not?Can they be fixed(permanent)?
A partial needs BOTH sides of the mouth to anchor it. So you would need to have a tooth (preferably) or a clasp on the other side as well. A partial cannot be cemented in permanently unless you mean a bridge and a bridge cannot span 3 missing teeth without at least a double anchor tooth on both sides, another words the bridge would span 7 teeth (2 on each side of the missing 3 teeth)


Implants would be your best option and would most likely cost less than a 7 unit bridge. A partial is the least expensive, but has to be removable.
Reply:No, if they don%26#039;t have anything, they are partials, if they hook on, they are a bridge..
Reply:A bridge hooks to the surrounding teeth.





Otherwise, they will make a removable partial plate to take the place of the teeth.
Reply:thet are made to hook onto your own teeth


You have to keep them clean,or they could dtart the adjacent tooh to get a cavity
Reply:Well u could get a flipper thats what i have and it works out pretty good.It is like a retainer with a tooth connected to it.
Reply:The partial will hook onto the tooth in front of the gap, and then again on the other side for stability. They won%26#039;t be able to be fixed since you don%26#039;t have any other back teeth to cement them too. The only permanent solution would be implants, but that can get quite expensive.
Reply:if you have no other teeth on the bottom you%26#039;ll want to add three new teeth to your existing plate and then use a holding substance like fixadent to hold them in. i have a top plate that has no hooks because the roof of your mouth creates a suction where as the bottom plate can%26#039;t create that same suction.
Reply:Partials need other teeth to hook onto, however, they don%26#039;t necessarily need teeth on either side (to see some examples, check out the link below).





Partials (short for %26quot;partial dentures%26quot;) can%26#039;t be fixed, as you will need to take them out for cleaning.





Bridges are permanent, but you would need a serviceable tooth on either side, so it sounds like a bridge would not be an option for you. The alternative would be implants.
Reply:Partials are any day cheaper but their floating in the area you need them would be a problem you may have to keep adjusting to. Extractions and same day implants would be your best option if you have enough bone in the area. But NobelGuide implants compensate any such problems. The high cost may of course be an issue. I checked with Dental Care India Tour offering same under $1500 per tooth inclusive of crown which is worth considering.

Professional Dentist Teeth Whitening, Are the results permanent?

How does the procedure work? and does it hurt? I have a appointment next week. Do the results last permanently?

Professional Dentist Teeth Whitening, Are the results permanent?
It definately doesnt last forever. I had mine Zoom whitened in 2004 and you can%26#039;t even tell anymore (and I dont drink soda/coffee or smoke). It isnt painful to have done tho your mouth will be sore from being open so long. Bring chap stick cus your lips will be dryyyyyy. I don%26#039;t recommend doing it when its cold outside because if you breath thru your teeth and its cold the results are like chewing on aluminum foil...
Reply:No the results don%26#039;t last permanently and thats why I use hydrogen peroxide everyday.


Very cheap at the market and works well.


Mix it one to one with water and keep it in your mouth for 1 minute.


Great for your gums to!





You know it just depends if you use tobacco or drink coffee or don%26#039;t brush your teeth enough.


Try the hydrogen peroxide and don%26#039;t get pocket shock and smile when ever you get the chance.





PEACE!
Reply:No, it%26#039;s not permanent, especially if you drink coffee, cola, wine or eat alot of tomato sauses- all foods and beverages that stain your teeth. Smoking also discolors your teeth. My teeth were done 4 yrs ago and they are still whiter than they were originally, but not as white as initially after treatment. It does not hurt really, but does make your teeth somewhat sensitive to hot and cold, for a brief time after treatment.

Does Anyone know a good site or place to go and get Permanent fangs on your canine teeth? please let me know!!

I would say to try your local dentist, but more than likely he/she won%26#039;t do this. It will be interesting to see you when you are elderly with those fangs, though...

Does Anyone know a good site or place to go and get Permanent fangs on your canine teeth? please let me know!!
There are dentists who will be willing to file your teeth to make them look like vampire fangs, but it is definately not recommended. Such actions are not only permenant, but can also damage your teeth if not done well and if not properly cared for afterwards.





If you were willing to (or able to) afford having your teeth sharpened, I would recommend you seek out the services of a fangsmith. Fangsmiths make custom vampire teeth for individuals. The teeth can be worn almost any time, and are very sturdy. One of the more popular fang smiths is Dnash, of Teeth by Dnash.





He has over twenty-five styles of fangs which he creates personally for each person. The fangs are not implants, however, but caps, which are custom made for each customer. These fangs can be put in and removed very easily, but are created of high quality material so they will last for a long time. Basically, they are like removable caps for your teeth. He makes them to be removable so you won%26#039;t damage them when eating (and you won%26#039;t HAVE to wear them to work or the family reunion, unless you just want to).





Dnash works from a professional dentists cast of your teeth (upper and/or lower casts), so each fang will fit snug in your mouth. He can either make the cast of your mouth in his studio, during one of his Fang Tours, or you can send him made by your own dentist. His fangs aren%26#039;t cheap, though. They run about $100 per set - plus, if you don%26#039;t go to his studio or have it done on one of his tours, you have the added expenses of paying your dentist for a full mouth cast.





Finally, you can purchase several types of fake fangs which you fit into your own mouth using a moldable type of plastic. Those kinds of fangs can be found a party/costume shops (and your local Hot Topic), and are usually pretty cheap. I picked some up off the clearance rack in April that are red - very fun. You can also get other colors, including metallic.





There are several disadvantages to these types of fangs, however. First of all, they are not high quality. The plastic backing for the fangs can be hard to do yourself. Also, it%26#039;s hard to get them to look %26quot;right%26quot; or %26quot;natural%26quot;. The color may not be the color of your teeth, or you might not be able to get them straight. Finally, the plastic will only last so long, even if you get it to work right. On the other hand, they are cheap, so if you loose them, you can always get another pair with out shelling out major amounts of money.

Having weird dreams about loosing a permanent tooth?

alot latley, i have been having random dreams, lots of things happen, and latley i have been having dreams where i lose a permanent tooth. what does this mean?

Having weird dreams about loosing a permanent tooth?
Loosing a tooth is rarely a good omen.


Could be that you are afraid of loosing a family member ..... or that you are having burdens, sadness is your affairs or a crushing blow to your pride. ... IF you loose a front tooth, it could be a sickness in (your) children
Reply:Losing some sort of object in a dream basically means that your subconscious is worrying about losing something you thought you%26#039;d have forever and ever.
Reply:I think it means something about not saying something you want to say orrr saying somethink you shouldn%26#039;t have said.
Reply:according to my dream book, this dreams occurs because you may grind your teeth whilst sleeping..also it may mean that you are subconconious that you need to make an appointment with the dentist..also it can be an omen of financial problems!


hope i helped=]
Reply:It would help if you share more information about the rest of the dream and maybe something about your life.


It could be a fear that you aren%26#039;t taking care of yourself. Maybe you worry about your health because you aren%26#039;t eating well, don%26#039;t drink milk.. or you are experimenting with drugs and worry that your teeth will fall out.





It%26#039;s hard to say without more information.
Reply:theres a lot going on in your life. and or youre thinking about stuff more...
Reply:It might just be a bad dream so don%26#039;t get too worked up about it but in some cases this might be a psychomeatriatic vision which occurs during REM cycle and will cause your brain to use more than 40% of your brain(normal human amount is 10%), that leading to having overly sensitive brain waves. To prove what I just said... if you%26#039;ve ever felt like ur falling and you hit the ground(in your dream) that is because your nerves either hit something on ur bed.
Reply:It might have just been some random dream with no point,they don%26#039;t always mean something.
Reply:someone a permanent person in your life maybe moving away soon.

Can dry socket happen when u have a baby tooth pulled and no permanent under neath?

I had a baby tooth extracted yesterday afternoon, and was told not to smoke or drink through a straw for forty eight hours. The baby tooth had no permanent tooth underneath it, so am I able to drink alchol tonight? which would be at about 30 hours after extraction?

Having a drink shouldn%26#039;t be an issue. A dry socket happens when the blood clot that forms in the socket is dislodged (spitting or using a straw can do that) or the clot is broken down (cig smoke breaks down the clot).

Bit fork and now a loose permanent tooth!?

Yea, so I was eating a waffle, and bit on the fork. I know, I%26#039;m dumb. But it%26#039;s a permanent tooth and I%26#039;m not sure what to do. Will it grow back to normal or what? My friend told me to drink a lot of milk and yea that would probably help but can I get some answers on what to do? I just don%26#039;t want to have to get a fake tooth.

Bit fork and now a loose permanent tooth!?
Once the tooth is broken, it will not %26quot;grow back%26quot;. You should have found an emergency dental office to go to. They could have repaired the tooth. You may be able to get a veneer, but to make it look less noticeable, you may have to get more than one tooth done (probably need to get your 4 top teeth done). Go to a dentist ASAP.
Reply:You need to get to the dentist asap before you lose the tooth.
Reply:Generally a loose tooth will be OK in a few days-when you get your braces %26#039;tightened%26#039; it loosens the teeth and a few days later they are firmed up again.


I wouldn%26#039;t take the risk of not calling a dentist -A visit will be cheaper than wishing you had in the long run .
Reply:Hey


That happened to me also, but my tooth eventually went back to normal!


Just whatever you do, dont wiggle it!


It will just get more wiggley, and might fall out!


Just try to leave it alone, and it should get better!


If it doesnt, I sugjest you visit a dentist, and see what you can do to prevent it to get better!


Good Luck!


:)

Reply:the WHOLE tooth? wow you must have been REALLY hungry!





no teeth don%26#039;t grow in any way, they just rot away





nows the time to pick out a blinging grill, (*silver looks like platinum)
Reply:Yes, it will tighten back up.....just don%26#039;t keep messing with it with your tongue or fingers. Also, try to avoid biting with it. Drinking milk or anything else isn%26#039;t going to help.

My daughter's central upper permanent tooth has not erupted yet and she is 7 1/2 years old.?

The primary tooth there was pulled out prematurely before, it being shed on it%26#039;s own. Could this be the cause for the permanent tooth to delay eruption? Thanks!

My daughter%26#039;s central upper permanent tooth has not erupted yet and she is 7 1/2 years old.?
This is indeed common but does not require the high cost of an Oral Surgeon. If your Dentist, and I am assuming he has a DDS Degree (Doctor of Dental Surgery) can%26#039;t do this simple procedure in 5 minutes or less, I would be looking another Dentist.
Reply:Hi! I%26#039;ve been in dentistry for over 25 years. I would call your dentist and get a referral for an Oral Surgeon. Have him take an xray and determine if this is just very slow or is %26quot;stuck%26quot;. It is easy enough to encourage the tooth to erupt and will require his expertize and surgery. This is NOT uncommon and I have had many cases of this. Typically I try to monitor this for a few months and see if there is any movement. If I feel it needs to be encouraged then I recommend an Oral Surgeon. At this age I would get a consultation and decide that is the best course of treatment. Remember, every child is different, but this is not a wait and see. Please get an expert%26#039;s advise and go from there. If you need any other help in the future, please ask. M
