Could i get Dental Implants on NHS?

March 15th, 2010
Q. could i get Dental Implants on nhs? as my teeth are bad and getting me depressed. i dont smile and i cover my mouth when speaking to people,
A. The NHS only provide implants in rare circumstances. If you see your local dentist, He/She will explain this in more detail. You should most likely be expected to pay for this treatment on a private basis- and prices can vary alot depending on where you have the implants placed. I would be happy to see you at one of my kissdental clinics in the Manchester area for a free consultation to discuss your options with you. Good luck

Has crown been fitted correctly?

March 15th, 2010
Q. Hello, I had a 4 teeth bridge fitted last week on the lower left side of my mouth. I have found there is a large gap between the bottom of the bridge and my gum, I can also feel with my tongue the supporting anchor teeth under the crowns as there is a gap there also. I was under the impression that a crown covers the whole tooth back and front. Does this sound like it’s been incorrectly fitted? Thank you for your time.,
A. Difficult to say – please contact your dentist with your concerns

What can be done for mother who is experiencing excruciating tooth pain?

March 15th, 2010
Q. My mom is and has been in excruciating pain for the past 10 days. She was told by her dentist a while ago that she grinds her teeth and was given a guard which she wears occasiionally. We have been to her dentist and the dental hospital a few times now, other than telling her what she already knows and making a further appointment to look at the fitting for the guard they have not been able to help… I cant express enough how much continous pain she is in. Her face is being swell down the side she is in pain, she is taking pain killers but they are having no affect….please advice ASAP…thankyou,
A. It sounds like you’ve done all the things I would normally recommend already. My advice would be to get another opinion as the pain seems too severe for it to be just tooth grinding

Can you give me a price guide for a smile makeover?

March 15th, 2010
Q. hi i am travelling to work in turkey this summer and would like a price guide to how much it wud cost me for a smile makeover .. my teeth arnt all that bad however some work my be needed could you give me location in turkey i could have this treatment and average cost for venners,crows etc. many thanks,
A. I can only recommend places in the UK as I am uncertain about the dental clinics in Turkey. I would strongly advise that you do your research before you embark on any cosmetic treatment. This can be to visit the clincs before hand, get plenty of information and ask to see pictures of previous cases to see the standard of work that they provide. It is also a good idea to visit several practices before you decide to go ahead. Good luck and I hope this has helped.

Anything that can be done to treat stained filling without going to the dentist?

March 15th, 2010
Q. i had a filling put over my front tooth 6 days ago and i had a curry last nite and it has stained the filling,is there anything i can use to help the stain instead of going back to the dentist,many thanks.,
A. It sounds like you have had a composite filling- these can stain over time- especially with foods such as curry and other highly coloured foods and drinks. Staining can often be superficial, but it sounds like it may be need to be replaced. Venners are something that you can consider as the porcelain doesn’t stain and can look as natural as your own teeth. I recommend that you return to your dentist to havethe filling replaced and then to talk over some more long term options.

Can you ease my worries about possibly needing to get bone graft?

March 15th, 2010
Q. Im in the process of having an implant done. My only concern is my gum above my missing tooth has a deep dent in it(resulting from a fall). What are my options on bone grafting. And very worried about were this bone is coming from if thats what i need. The dentist has said he wont know what he will beable to do ie an implant an implant with bone or a bone graft then 6 months an implant. wont the x-rays give enough information? Also he’s said this will take 2 -2and half hours while im sudated. Any information you can help me with would be great. Many thanks,
A. he could take a CT scan for more information if you are worried about whether to have the bone graft or not. He could take the graft from the lower jaw either the chin or around the lower back teeth.

Am I too old to get implants?

March 15th, 2010
Q. I HAVE JUST HAD THREE FRONT TEETH REMOVED AND A DENTURE FITTED IS IT TO LATE TO HAVE INPLANTS AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST I AM 67,
A. Thanks for your question, no it is not too late to have implants. It is quite normal to allow the extraction site to heal before placing implants. I would recommend that you attend a consultation with an implant dentist, and they would be able to advise you of the treatment available to you. Although the price for implants will vary between practices, you should expect to pay around £2000 for an implant including a crown. Kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki

Dentist recommended lower jaw surgery but is this necessary?

March 15th, 2010
Q. I just got back from my orthodontist and they told me that my lower jaw is too big, that they will give me one more year to grow (I’m 16) and that they may have to do lower jaw surgery (slide my jaw back). But my two front teeth are at an angle. Is this a serious problem? Is the surgery completely nessecary?,
A. I would strongly advise that you go for the surgery now- as you are still young. It is a procedure that can still be done when you are older, but if it is done now, then you will save on the costs- as after a certain age, then you will need to pay for this surgery- and it comes at a price. Orthodontics is the best way to correct your occlusion (the way you bite together)and your two front upper teeth will be straightened with a brace afterwards. Hope tis has helped. If you have any questions in regards to your treatment, it is advisable to see the dentist/surgeon who is undertaking your case in order for you to fuly understand all of the options and reasons behind it all. This is very important for both you and the dentist. Good luck.

What can be done for lost tooth likely due to bone disease?

March 15th, 2010
Q. I had a tooth extracted last week. It detached itself from the jawbone when I bit on something fairly soft, and I understand this could indicate that the bone is diseased (I’m a 58 year old female). As I live in Germany, I’m due to see my dentist in a week. What issues should I discuss with him? Thanks, in advance Susan Lawson,
A. You should ask him to check all the other teeth and gums to check whether there are any other teeth that need treatment.

What can be done for teeth infected due to MRSA?

March 15th, 2010
Q. My daughter is 24. She has had MRSA for over a year, and her teeth are falling apart. Her dentist has recommended dentures. She has already lost 6 teeth. DDS says teeth are “infected”. She is so young. What would you recommend?,
A. MRSA should not in itself cause tooth loss. The possibility of a comprimised immune system, sugar based medicines may be more relevant. You must find out the type of infection, then treat the cause. Rob
