Q. I’m 22 and my teeth are awful! I’m embarassed to smile, laugh and often get told to ‘cheer up’ because of my regular closed mouth expression. My teeth are discoloured, sensitive, and crooked. This is due to lack of dental care when I was a child. I regularly use whitening products, and sensitive toothpastes, I visit the dentist but just seem to have filling upon filling. I’m so scared of one of my front teeth completely falling out. I honestly feel like I would be happier with false teeth, which is a bit of a daunting prospect at the age of 22. Being a student, I cant afford cosmetic dentisty and even the financial plas seem to want £100+ a month, which just isnt an option for me. I don’t seem to have a local dentistry school, and even ones far away seem to have full waiting lists. I’ve considered using a student loan to go abroad to have ‘cheap’ dentistry work done but hav been advised this could make things even worse. What should I do?
A. Its very difficult to have extensive treatment on a budget. You might be able to get some done on the NHS which is usually cheaper than paying privately. You always take a risk when going abroad as often the cost isn’t that much different, especially as the pound is quite weak against the Euro at the moment. You might also have complications that require further visits abroad. I guess the best option would be to save up as much as possible and to start the treatment in stages perhaps using a finance plan to help spread the costs?

Q. Hello, I am interested in the option of cosmetic bonding as my teeth are slightly even and discoloured. I would like to know the kind of prices that this would involve (I understand this will vary from dentist to dentist so just a rough idea would be great) Thanks
A. Thanks for your question, you are right in that the prices will vary between practices, but you should expect to pay between £80 – £150 for this treatment.
Many Thanks

Q. Hello I have quite big teeth, which I hate. I’d love to have dental surgery of some kind to fix this problem. I’m not quite sure exactly what I would need to have done though. What do you suggest?
A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider veneers. These are a thin layer of porcelain which is designed to fit over the front surface of your tooth, similar to a false finger nail, which can be used to improve the size, shape and colour of your teeth. The number of teeth which would need veneers to improve the overall aesthetic appearnace would depend on your smile. I hope this helps.

Q. Hello, i have a front tooth the goes back, the rest of my teeth are fairly straight, Could you tell me, would it be possible to just have one veneer on that tooth or would i have to have the whole lot done? best regards
A. Thanks for your question, it is possible to have a single veneer, to improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. However, whethervthis would be successful for you would depend on hoe far back the tooth is. I would recommend that you attend your dental practice for a consultation to discuss your options.
Kindest Regards

Q. hello, I have just visited my dentist to-day,I have a tooth were there is only the front part left my dentist say’s he is going to remove that front of the tooth as there is a bit of leekage in it,I don’t want to get it taken out as my smile will be ruined and im very fussy about my teeth are there any other suggestions of what i could do to get it replaced without costing a fortune,any advice would be helpful.
A. Hi
Plesae do not worry as you do have options to replace the gap when your tooth has been removed. The best options would be an implant, however this would be the most expensive option. There is also the option of a bridge, which would involve preparing the teeth on either side for crowns, and then the laboratory would create attach a false tooth to the two crowns to create a three unit bridge. Your final optin would be a partial denture, which would be removable. I hie this helps.

Q. I had braces when I was 17. At the time there was an issue with overcrowding on the bottom teeth. There was discussion of pulling a tooth, but it was not done. I’m now 33 and have overcrowding of my lower front 6 teeth. My orthodontist suggested pulling a tooth or filing the teeth down. What are the pros and cons of filing the teeth down? Does this ruin your tooth enamel?
A. Slight adjustments using a techniwque known as interdental stripping helps to create the space in order to align the teeth. The loss of a tooth often causes an asymmetrical final result but might be your only option if the teeth are very crowded.

Q. i had bridge work done all of the upper not happy with the results, one side seen lower the teeth seem too big, did have some adjustments, still not happy, also this took almost 3 months to complete. what are the procedure to have this redone. not happy
A. Very sorry to hear that you are not happy with the result of your bridge. The only thing to be done now is to have it redone. If you came to see me I would firstly assess exactly what you are not happy with using photographs and possibly imaging. Impressions of your existing bridge would be taken and a diagnostic mock up of your teeth would be made in wax on the model. When your bridge is removed this mockup would be used to produce a beautiful temporary bridge and any adjustments would be made at this stage until you are happy. This would then be copied to make the final bridge. In this way the aesthetics are very carefully controlled. This could be completed before Xmas but you will need to contact my surgery as soon as possible as my clinical time is limited due to lecture commitments. I hope to see you soon.

Q. I’m 17 and still in college, I’ve got 2 chipped front teeth due to rough play as a child, also some of my adult teeth are missing according to an x ray they aren’t there so I’m stuck with rather worn down baby teeth. I never smile in photos and my teeth severly effect my confidence. Can I get crowns/vineers on the NHS?
A. You might qualify for NHS treatment but it is cosmetic treatment so I can really say for sure whether you will get your teeth sorted out on the NHS. Go to your NHS dentist and see what they can do for you.

Q. Hi, I have been on the Invisalign for about 15 months and I am on my last aligner. I am not totally happy with my final result and wanted to ask what options I have. Could I ask for more aligners from the dentist i am having treatment and will this cost more? Thanks
A. Thanks for your question, you should return to your dentist or Orthodontist where the next stage would be refinement. This will involve new aligners being made to hopefully acheive the results you have been aiming for. Many Thanks

Q. Hey I have research about lingual braces and i am very interested in getting them… my question is do your teeth still move over time after the braces are taken off and do I have to wear a retainer after I take my braces off? Another question would be is that if I was to get lingual braces… is it possible to make payments by installments? Please get back to me
A. Thanks for your questions, as with most teeth straightening treatments, it would be recommended that you wear a retainer once your treatment is completed in order to prevent your teeth from moving back to their natural position. If you feel that you would not wear a removal retainer regularly, you may wish to consider a fixed retainer. Although payment options will vary between practices, many will have the facility to offer payment plans such as interest free credit to halp you spread the cost of your traetment.

Q. I am about to have lower front pincer tooth extracted, can you please advice on what to get, a partial denture or a bridge and what type. My dentist has not explained the options, please can you help me decide I am at my wits end with worry. As soon as possible.
A. A denture is the quickest and simplest method to fill the gap. I would recommend this for immediately after having the tooth removed, after this you could have a bridge or an implant if you want a permanently fixed in tooth.

Q. I had braces for a year, and ive took it off, and started wearin retainers, but my doctor said that i have to wear the retainers for a life now, i want to know is there anything that i can do, because i dont want to wear them for a life?
A. I recommend lifetime reatiners to ensure the teeth don’t move back. You can have a fixed retainer placed behind the front 6 teeth and then only wear your other retainer at night.

Q. Upper right incisor. I have a crown on metal post from 30 yrs ago. The crown was replaced 15 yrs ago. My root filling has gone wrong, x ray shows the root filling to have moved. I am recommended to have a apicectomy with an endodontic surgeon. Would it be better to remove this root and have an implant?
A. I personally prefer the predictablility of an implant as apicectomy often destroys the bone and prevents an implant being placed at a later date. If you would like me to take a look please feel free to contact me on implant@advancedentalclini.com

Q. heya i am only young being 19 and hate my teeth and smile. i was offered braces when i was younger however i never wanted them i regret this decission now and would like advice on how i can achieve that celebrity smile? i really need your help.
A. Thanks for your questions. There are many teeth straightening products available, with some acheiving results in as little as six weeks and other which are virtually invisible. I would suggest that your first step should be to arrange a consultation appointment, either with an Orthodontist or a cosmetic dental practice which offer teeth straightening. There are many practices who will offer free initial consultations, to allow you to discover your options and the associated prices without any financial commitment. Many of these practices will also have the facility to ofer payment plans such as, interest free credit to help you spread the cost of the treatment. I hope that this will be of assistance bu turge you to contact you again should you require further information.

Q. I have been receiving treatment to have an implant fitted to a missing tooth. Each time I see the dentist the cost goes up. Would it be possible to come to your practice for a check up and estimate of the cost? How much will the visit cost me?
A. Hi, I would be very happy to take a look for you. A detailed consultation and x-rays costs £90. This will include a written treatment plan with all the costs involved. These costs will not change once we decide what you need to be done so you will know exactly what to expect with regard to payment and the treatment required.

Q. Hi, i am 22 years old and had a traditional train track brace when i was 11, since then my one front tooth has slightlymoved forwards and my cainine teeth have moved upwards to there natural position and want to get them corrected, i dont have a high budget but have seen that the ‘6month smile’ is cheaper than the invisalign‘ how much do these roughly cost?, will the first consultation be free and do you do packages that include whitening?
A. Thanks for your enquiry, there are many straightening treatments available today, from systems which take as little as six weeks to acheive results to those which are virtually invisible. The costs for treatments which vary between systems and practices. However I can tell you that I am currently offering the Inman aligner, with whitening for £999 (for a limited period), but typically our costs for straightening start from around £1500. Many practices do offer a free initial consultation and will also have the facility to offer interest free credit to help spread the payments. I hope this helps.

Q. i am 29 and have just registered with a dentist after waiting for a few years,im interested in having a brace fitted as im starting to feel very wary of my teeth when i smile,Can it be done on nhs or will i have to go private? And at what cost?
A. Thanks for your questions, NHS Orthodontics treatment to adults is not usually available, however an enquiry to your local Primary Care Trust should be able to confirm this for you. There are many teeth straightening systems available privately, with some treatments taking as little as six weeks to acheive results and others which are virtually invisible. The costs for these treatments will vary between systems and practices, but I can tell you that straightening treatments at my practices start from £999. Many practices now have the facility to offer payment plans, such as interest free credit to help you spread the costs. I hope this helps.
