Sometimes, if a filling is very deep and close to the nerve, a regular filling may not work. It sounds as though you will need a root canal. Find out more at: Thornhill Dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca
Is there a website to find out approximate cost of dental work and dentures privately?
You didn't say where you lived. I just had a lot of work done on my teeth. The front on the top and bottom were capped and I have upper and lower partials and it cost me $12,000 CDN. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't have a dental plan here in Canada and I know things are tough in the health care area for Americans. If you really need to get your teeth attended too then I suggest you snoop around different banks for a good interest rate on a "Line Of Credit". That's what I did. It's a type of loan, but a very low interest rate attached to it. Between my Canadian Pension Plan money and my Retirement check coming in soon I'll have the loan paid off quite quickly.

Why are silver tooth fillings toxic to your bodies?
Silver tooth fillings, or amalgams, are a mixture of mercury and an alloy of silver, tin, copper, and zinc. Mercury usually takes up about 50% of this mixture, thus making it toxic. There are safer alternatives, such as gold or porcelain, but these are weaker and more expensive than the conventional amalgams, so mercury is still favoured.
What are the differences in denture design and materials?
We manufature dentures the difference is cost of material
The above answer is correct up to a point. The method of processing a denture has a great deal to do with the quality of a finished denture.
1. There is the injection technique of processing a denture and many say that a denture that is under constant injection while being processed will be the best fitting denture with the least amount dimensional change after processing because acrylic is injected in a closed flask system. The acrylic being under the constant pressure of injection will replace the acrylic that is lost while the denture acrylic is being cured during processing. Acrylic shrinks while it is being processed and depending upon the injection technique the theory is sound. Where it would fall apart is how good was the impression of the persons mouth in the first place. Impression materials shrink or expand depending upon what is done to them and how they are stored while being sent to the lab for the model to be poured up. Who actually took the impression and did they know what they were doing?
2. There is the method of packing a denture in the split flask, lost wax technique that has been around for quite sometime and is still how most dentures are processed. It has been around for a long time because it works.
Both of these techniques work quite well and this is where the materials that are used come into play. With the advent of hardened acrylic teeth there are a number of lines of teeth that are considered premium teeth, Dentsply's IPN teeth, Ivoclar Blue Line teeth, Lincoln Dental Image Tooth line and Vita's Physiodens to name a few. There are many economy teeth that are to numerous to mention except to say that generally you get what you pay for and economy teeth wear down much quicker than what most dental professionals consider a premium tooth. The other material that comes into play is the pink acrylic that the teeth are set in. This is considered the foundation of the whole denture structure and as in any structure the stronger the foundation the longer the structure will last. Three parts Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) powder to One part Methyl methacrylate (MMA) liquid has been the basis of these pink acrylics since the 1930's, in the early 1970's there was an advancement of impact modified powders that strengthened the impact resistance (made the acrylic harder to fracture) of heat cured processed denture acrylic (split flask, lost wax technique, packed dentures). In the 21st century there are a number of impact modified acrylics.
3. Auto-Polymer Acrylics used in the Pour or Fluid Resin system dentures. These acrylics have accelerators usually in the MMA, that quickly polymerize the denture acrylic when cured in a pressure vessel with warm water. The pressure vessel is only able to generate 15 to 25 PSI and in some of the newer pressure vessels close to 50 PSI. Not enough compression to make an actual Hi-Impact resistant denture like in the Injection Technique or the Packing Technique where thousand of pounds of pressure is used. Because of the amount of liquid used is larger there is also more shrinkage along with the accelerators used in the liquids there tends to be issues with color stability. However these dentures have a place in the industry in that they can be made quickly and easily finished without the mess made in the other techniques.
All of the above is just a brief explanation of the materials and techniques used in processing a denture. A good impression of the mouth is still required to make the denture fit properly and there are many theories as to the design of the denture which only a well educated dentist could expound upon.
Where can you find help if disabled and need help paying for dentures?
Apply for medicaid and when applying ask about any programs in your area that may also assist with dental coverage.
How has porcelain been used to make false teeth?
False teeth are produced by making a mold of existing teeth. Then shaping porcelain to mirror the teeth that are fitted to vacant gums.
What does waiting period mean for dental services?
A waiting period is the period of time before certain procedures are covered under your dental insurance policy. This usually applies to more expensive (sometimes called major) procedures under individual policies like crowns, root canals or full dentures and for orthodontic coverage under group policies. Here are a couple of examples. In the AARP group dental plan there is a one year "waiting period" for gum treatment, full dentures, crowns and TMJ treatment. The Federal Employees Dental Plan has a two year waiting period before orthodontics (braces) are covered.
Do denture adhesives contain sugar or starches?
Ingredients from pepsodent:
Ingredients: Poly(methylvinylether/maleic acid),
sodium-calcium mixed partial salt, petrolatum,
cellulose gum, mineral oil.Does not contain zinc.
Note that the cellulose is a starch but it is largely indigestable by humans. The biggest problem with these products are those that contain zinc as they can result in zinc poisoning
Why has your gum gone black above your fake tooth?
It is most likely the metal margin showing from the fake tooth (the white part of the fake tooth is not on the edge, so it looks black)
