Are There Any Schools or Colleges That Provide Cheaper Teeth Whitening?

Friday, July 3rd, 2015
Q.

Hi. I’ve always had discoloured fangs and also I smoked for quite some years. I no longer smoke now and would love to get my teeth professionally whitened. However, due to the cost of this it’s out of my budget. Is there a school or college you know of that I could volunteer at for tooth whitening, either for free or for a lot cheaper? I’m from Leicester but obviously don’t mind traveling to get this done.

Can The NHS Replace My Missing Teeth with Implants?

Thursday, July 2nd, 2015
Q.

Hi. I had my 3 front teeth smashed from my mouth in a violent assault. I am currently unemployed, will the NHS replace them with implants? Why they were removed still remains a mystery as the roots were all whole and secure just the fronts of the teeth were sheared off, so I need to know if I can have them replaced with implants before the bone starts to degenerate. They were removed a few years ago and I cannot stand to smile anymore as I had a gap for a few years but now my dentist sacrificed two other teeth to make a bridge. I can tell it won’t last longer than a year, two if I am lucky, they aren’t in very well and look like horse teeth with no attempt to match the teeth I have. It was a violent attack with a baseball bat that scarred me mentally as well as physically and now what the dentist has done as a professional care giver to me seems more like abuse. Please tell me if I can have them all replaced with implants on the NHS.

How Can I Overcome My Phobia to Get the Treatment I Need?

Thursday, July 2nd, 2015
Q.

Hello I am 52 and have several problem teeth, either with cavities or broken. I have already lost 3 teeth and have been told another will have to come out. My mouth is constantly in pain from rotting teeth and bad gums. The problem is though, I am scared to death of dentists, last time I had anaesthetic I had a mini stroke in the chair and ended up in hospital. I am thinking I would like a new set of teeth, preferably implants, but know while my gums are the way they are, this is becoming less of a possibility. In the end the problem is so big, I am just taking pain killers constantly and hiding from the problem. What should I do?

How Much Does Composite Bonding Cost?

Monday, June 15th, 2015
Q.

Hi, I want to know how much it would be to get my teeth done by doing composite bonding. I have what you call baby adult teeth that have really effected me throughout my life. I have also got gaps at the bottom and also the top. I am very self conscious and I rarely smile which I hate as I would love to have lovely pearly whites that I could feel confident with. But the problem is I am 19 and now have to pay for treatment and I do have a job but only an apprenticeship which pays £2.73 an hour and I really want them done and want to know roughly how much it would cost.

How Can I Get My Composite Build Up Redone?

Thursday, June 11th, 2015
Q.

I had a composite build up done on my front four teeth two years ago. The acid erosion issue was with the front two only but the dentist suggested to get the front four done to achieve symmetry etc. Now I need to get the treatment redone because of staining. Is it possible for me to get the composite build up/composite veneer done on the front two only and have the composite removed from the side ones? Thanks.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2015
Q.

Hi,

I got my clear fixed braces done in India on 22 May 2015 and wanted to continue my treatment in London.

I have got all my x-rays, teeth models and doctors’ reports.

I wanted to know the cost to continue with my braces treatment for the next 6 months and I would be going back after 6 months to India.

I wanted to get a quotation to continue my treatment of tightening of my braces.

Thanks.

Can I Get Cheaper Treatment on Finance?

Wednesday, June 10th, 2015
Q.

Hi, not sure if you will be able to help?
For a couple of years now I have noticed my 2 front teeth are becoming crooked and it’s really starting to get me down. I was told as a child that I have too many teeth in my mouth and I think this is what is causing the crookedness now my wisdom teeth are starting to come through. Also the tooth on the right side next to my front teeth was filed (very badly) when I was younger and now sits at an angle like it’s been broken off.I feel like I have a really bad overbite, it has really started to knock my self confidence but, my problem is I can’t afford the money that my dentists are asking for? Is there any way I could have this sorted out cheaper or even on finance? Many thanks.

Will Veneers on Just 4 Teeth Make a Noticeable Difference?

Friday, May 29th, 2015
Q.

I’m considering having teeth whitening and veneers. Before visiting my dentist I had in mind just the top 8 teeth but my dentist advised to just get the front 4, as my other teeth are good size, with just 4 veneers and the other 4 teeth visible in my smile. Will there be a noticeable difference? And as a separate question, my dentist also advised Zirconium veneers but Google results suggest these aren’t the best for front teeth. Can you offer any advice on the above questions and any recommendations?

Gum Disease Has Changed My Smile. What Can Be Done?

Friday, May 29th, 2015
Q.

Hi, I have had gum disease and one of my front teeth has grown down long due to loss of bone in the gums. Some of my other teeth in the back of my gums have become loose and I have also lost a few. So what would my options be? I am becoming sad and don’t like to smile any more. My teeth use to bleed when I brushed them – they don’t any more and have not done for over a year now. I don’t like going to the dentist and I feel nervous, but my smile is so out of place. Kind regards.

Would a Brace Fix My Dental Problems?

Wednesday, May 27th, 2015
Q.

I’ve recently noticed that 1 of my front teeth is longer than the other one and is also slightly wonky, it looks really bad, I feel it will only get worse over time as I am still young. Would a brace fix this? Even though it’s just one tooth that’s the issue, and I think it’s the length as well. Also, the teeth surrounding my 2 big ones at the front are considerably smaller, which again look unnatural. I’ve heard about veneers and bonding, but I was wondering if there are any other options. And the costs of these!
My two front teeth at the bottom are not straight, as in they are growing towards each other and looking like they are pushing against each other. My dentist said it’s because of my wisdom teeth and to see a specialist if I’m concerned. Again, would a brace help here?
Many thanks.
