Q
Aloha, I live in Hawaii and would like to know if any Dentist here performs the Vertical Translation Technique? If not I will have to travel to your Vegas location. My question is I have a 23 year old Autistic daughter and I noticed her gums have receded from some teeth on the bottom. I do not want to put her through the extra pain and recovery of traditional gum grafting so I am adamant about wanting the Vertical Translation Technique performed on her. Do you work with the special needs population? Do you use the kind of anesthsia that makes you sleep? I don't think she will be able to handle being wide awake. Mahalo : )

Q
what to know if implants would be a choice for me...
Im 21 yrs old. i've had cavities a lot. due to many reasons. most of my teeth currently have fillings or cavities. In my opinion ive had a poor care provider. i have been to the same care provider my whole life. the only place that would take state insurance. I can remember having problems since i was 10. ive had severl rounds of getting mulitable teeth fixed. after he would fill my cavities, i would experiance lots of long term pain. i had to switch on and off with sentive paste before i made it to high school. after getting my mouth under control, i was then carring a child. soon after i was sick withh hodgkins lymphoma. i went through the process to cure this cancer, having minor surgeries, chemo and radiation treatments. everything went smooth. my taste budds changed, and started to drink lots of dark soda. my glan tha producess salyvia was also affected, having constent dry mouth. slowly it started to rebuild. when i was finished with my treatments i had 8 more problem teeth. front right facial broke in two after cleaning and check up. my right facial also needs a root canel, they just made it look good. didnt even fix it the way they should. while trying to get insurance my problems got worse. got three teeth pulled, three filled in. had couple more things to finish, dentist was losing my appiontments somewhere in the mix. by the time i got in i was 21. they didnt suport my state insurance after turning 21, even though i pay a monthly premium. insurance though another company was too much to afford. now 6 months later i have 7 cavities. some new from old at ones speadin. old ones got worse.some cavities r starting at my gumline, growing where my teeth r filled in.couple fillings have decay on the actual filling. i feel like my only real teeth r my bottom front and my top front except for the one that has been repaired and another appering to discolor. i dont want the growing pain any longer. i need to have another one pulled. i just want to end it and start over. i dont see any reason to keepthis pattern up. sorry for the long discription, i figuered to recive good advice i should get detailed.
thank you so verry much for your time

Hello. Unfortunately medicaid will not cover dental implant , however we do have CareCredit programs available. It will cost roughly 4500 for the implant, abutment and crown.
Q
I would like to know an estimate price for complete upper& lower
Denture Implant, plus pulling of (2) teeth, all that are left.
I know the game where you need to see me first, I ran my own company for over 25 yrs. So now I am disabled and live in Pahrump. And would like an estime please, or a range. I understand it could go either way until you see me, but this would help me alot. I do have Insurance.
Thanks, Guy

I assume you have only has 2 teeth remaining? If so, you must have something to wear for the missing teeth. It's best to extract the 2 teeth first, then wait for the bone to heal for a few months, and then make the permanent dentures. That will probably cost about $4400. But if you do not have anything to wear and want temporary dentures, then it will be an additional $2400.
Q
I had all of my teeth extracted at the age of 20 yrs old. I am now 64 yrs old. I've beeb wearing dentures all of my life. I had an x-ray done when I needed my denture s repaired. the dentist found that i had severe bone loss and needed surgery right away. He daid it was so bad any slight injury could cause my whole face to fracture. I chose not to believe him. Now after one year my right jaw is hurting and cracks sometime when I chew. I'd like implants someday. Would this be a medical problem for my insurnce company. I have an appointment with your office today for a 3d cat scan. I'm an RN employed by the state of nevada, can I aford you if my insurance does not pay?
A
Hello - you need to come in for exam, we need to determine how severe the bone loss is. I don't think your medical will cover the bone restoration because these are dental procedures. In the past we have been unsuccessful in billing medical. The state of Nevada does cover implants, but the patient only has a yearly max of $1000, that's not a lot when restoring a full mouth.
Q
Dr Harvey Chin recommends that I have implants on all my upper teeth due to bone loss and loose teeth - 10 teeth total. I would like to get a 2nd opinion from Dr. Cha and Dr. Chen.
