Q. Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.
A. Anything put into the lower jaw will help you to chew although a denture is very difficult to wear if there are only a few teeth to anchor it in place. You might want to consider a denture held in place with dental implants this maybe your best solution in the lower jaw in the long term

Q. My toddler ran at me with a heavy toy and chipped my top front tooth so it’s on the diagonal. I have had a temporary filling from an emergency NHS dentist. ( I’ve never had a filling before so know nothing about the proceedure etc. ) I saw my dentist today and he informs me that he will be able to do a new filling and make it look like a normal tooth. The rest of the tooth is fine. He said I won’t need a veneer, although could have one done later. I am worried the filling won’t be strong enough (my dentist said I would have to be careful biting into apples etc) What should I do. At the moment I’m finding the temporary filling very wierd and uncomfortable. Would a veneer be a better option or should I stick with the filling?
A. I would try a new filling first then see how it goes and how it looks. It is sometimes very difficult to get a great aesthetic result with a single veneer although it would be a bit stronger.

Q. i have two large front teeth and absolutely detest them. its giving me really low self esteem and i would really like to do something about them. What are my options and honestly how much will this kind of treatment cost? My two front teeth are longer than my “wedding finger nail” (short) just to give you a rough idea. im getting increasingly depressed about it what can i do?
A. The cost depends on what you have done. If they need veneers this will normally cost from around £500 per tooth. If the teeth need removal then you could be looking at £500 for a small denture or £4000 for fixed implant supported crowns.

Q. i have got to go under sedation and worried about it, how could i get out of this phobia of being sedated its sounds worrying knowing that ill still be awake during this.
A. Sedation is an excellent and safe technique for nervous patients, although you’re still ‘awake’ you wpn’t be aware of what is going on around you. Perhaps you should ask your dentist for some more advice regarding the procedure.

Q. Hi Dr Moore,I would like to ask you what I can do in my situation.I start a full mouths restauration last year,I already pay 10 .000 pounds .all the extraction been done,manage to have 6 implants on my upper jaw as well; still have four off mynteeths on upper jaw who need crowns,on my lower jaw just four teeths on the front.Now my circumstances change,I m on benefit I have a Hc2 certificate wich is not seems to help me much.I am stuck in the midle with a temporarty bridge wich is not even done properly because my dentist not pay any interes any more.My dentist even sugest to have the implants extracted and have ba denture instead wich I think is ridiculos.Anyway what I want to ask is if I have any chance to finish the work with a private dentist and pay the diference for the abutments for example.
A. I’m sure you would be able to find someone who will be happy to finish the work for you. It would be very useful for them to know the type and sizes of implants used so the correct components can be ordered. Unfortunatley none of this treatment is available on the NHS so your NC2 cert isn’t any use. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look Regards
Andrew

Q. over the last few years i have had endless fillings and 4 extractions. my dentist told me i may have rapid caries. currently 14 of my teeth are filled, with one from each side top and bottom missing, all 4 wisdom teeth are ruptured and are growing in awkward shapes and hurt the inside of my mouth and cheeks. i’m only 22 and feel my teeth are so unsightly i am ashamed to smile. i try my best to take care of them but when problems continue to arise it really knocks my confidence. i’m considering cosmetic treatment but don’t know where to start and i’m a very nervous patient so feel fear talking to dentists about procedures. i just wish i could start over with my teeth but understand thats just not possible. i am writing really just to see what treatments are available and what costs i will need to pay. thanks for taking the time to read my question and i look forward to hearing from you.
A. Hello, the options for you are endless depending on what you would like to acheive and the budget you have. You may also want to consider sedation for the longer procedures to help with your anxiety. If you’d like me to take a look I can offer you a free consultation to give you a better idea of your options. Please call the clinic on 01245 268 494

Q. Hello, my dentist done a cap on my tooth a year ago, but it was the wrong size, it has recently started to smell and cause me some discomfort. When he put the cap in the dentist filed the tooth below, is this good practice? Also he didn’t remove the nerve in the remaing part of the tooth, sould he have? I have now been informed by my dentist that it needs to be replaced (me footing the bill!). I am about to book my appointment, and am concerned about the dentists experience, he said that he will cut the cap, that’s already on my tooth, into four, for removal. Does this sound right, because I am very concerned about the remaining part of tooth underneath. Thank you
A. It’s best to cut the crown into pieces before removing it as this protects the tooth underneath You would normally only reomve the nerve if the tooth causes pain or an infection is present

Q. I have 15 year old veneers on 8 teeth and my gums have receded to the extent that the old scraped down teeth is now visible behind the veneers and is ugly and extremely sensitive. Unfortunately I had one replaced by my dentist last year and it looks even worse, he had to shave half of it away so I could close my teeth, not a great job, and I am terrified of the dentist!! Would lumineers be the way forward for me, and how expensive are they? Thank you
A. Lumineers are a type of very thin veneer more suitable for people who have never had treatment on their front teeth so I don’t know if they would be the best option for you. It sounds like you just need the veneers all replaced with good quality veneers made using an experienced dentist and technician.
