Case Description
I have a molar that the filling fell out and only left a 1/4 of my molar, this also happened on the top as well. I have never had my wisdom teeth removed either. I think that this has caused over crowding in my mouth.I have also noticed a cavity.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Without having examined you I am merely speculating. If you only have a quarter of each broken molar left it sounds like you will need more of a crown type restoration. We have a very interesting technology called CEREC with which we can provide 1 appointment crowns. As for your wisdom teeth, all teeth drift towards the midline and your wisdom teeth will contribute to one eigth of the force moving towards the midline. For the overcrowding we offer INVISALIGN, invisable braces. The only way to determine if you are a canditate for invisalign is for me to see you for an appointment.Our office phone is 650.697.2073. Ask for Terrie and she will readily schedule for either a checkup or a complimentary consultation.Sincerely,Chris Johns DDS

Dear pt,My suggestion is to come in to a dental office and have a complete exam and full mouth x ray done first to find out all the problems. Then prioritize the problems and go from there. It''''s hard to answer question without seeing the whole mouth. Treating localized problem is difficult. One thing can lead to another, One tooth condition change in your mouth can affect the treatment plan of other teeth. You are welcome to come in for a consultation. Sincerely,Vivian Gong, DDS877 W.

The first step for an assessment of the damage is a consultation visit. We need to take x-rays to find out whether you need to take those teeth out or they can be saved. Please give us a call for an appointment. Best regards,Dr. Zarkesh
