After visiting the hygienist three times to contain my periodontal disease and also having at last the curved root out, my new dentist is to work on my front teeth. She will doing composite fillings on 6 of my teeth. So the front teeth minus the canines as I don't have any.
I am having inhalation sedation so that I feel more in control than IV sedation.
I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced inhalation sedation?
I am worried as I have never ever been in the dentist chair longer than 45 mins (and that was agonising to me).
What is involved with composite fillings (it says 3 surfaces) on my treatment plan? Will they look much better? I have a big gap between my front teeth (to me its too big). Can she fill this a bit during this appointment?
I am concerned as my front teeth have been slightly aching lately. I am worried that the gum disease is too advanced. I am just worried really about it all
My canines that I do not have...they say that the best I can have are implants (though these could fail due to bone loss, I know they can do bone placement). But I can't really afford implants. I can't wear a plate (as I have one and just can't wear it) and implants are so invasive which loads of healing time (apart from teeth in a day?). A bridge is out as had one before and it loosened my other teeth. Are there really no other options left?
Thank you
