Could You Tell Me If It Would Be Possible To Use Lumineers To Correct My Two Front Teeth?

Friday, February 21st, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. Could you tell me if it would it be possible to use Lumineers to correct my two front teeth?

They are set back further than the rest and also sit a little lower. Ideally I would like my two front teeth to be sitting a little higher up the gum and set forward with the other teeth.

At the side of the two front teeth, I have little ‘fangs’ which are slightly turning into the direction of the two front teeth. I would also like to have these fixed.

Braces aren’t an option for me due to the nature of my work, I am also not a candidate for Invisalign. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

I Think I Lost A Cap When Eating. Could You Tell Me How Much It Costs To Replace?

Thursday, February 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I really hope you can help me. My cap came off from my front left tooth recently and I think I must of swallowed it after eating because I felt this funny gap when I was through eating. I have had a cap on my front left tooth since the age of 12, and I am 58 years old now and it has come off only twice and replaced. There is like a peg left in, I guess that’s what my dentist did before he gave me a cap. I am so depressed, I feel so ugly, I can’t even look in the mirror or go outside to talk to anyone until I get this fixed. I don’t have insurance but I am willing to pay cash, how much do you think this will cost? Please help me and thank you for your time.

I Have Badly Decayed Front Teeth And Would Like To What It Would Cost To Fix This?

Thursday, February 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’m looking for some general cosmetic dentistry costs? I have badly decayed teeth. My front teeth are decayed due to rural unpurified water. I am also a smoker for going on 13 years. I might need implants but I also want to consult a dentist before I undergo treatment. Please assist me in estimating the required fee. I also suggested to go for teeth whitening but I’m afraid because of the expensive treatment procedures. Any help you can offer me will be greatly received.

I Am In Need Of Extensive Dental Work But I Do Not Have The Funds To Pay For It. What Can I Do?

Tuesday, February 18th, 2014
Q.

Dear Dr Moore, I feel I am in need of extensive dental work but do not have the funds to pay for it. I have many missing teeth some of which are at the front and I feel that having these gaps filled would make a huge difference to how I feel about myself. I also have a pallet that I often struggle to wear and this now needs replacing as more teeth are now missing. I dream about the thought of having permanent implants one day but any advice on how to achieve this would be more than appreciated. I am looking forward to your reply and I hope you can help.

I Have Recently Got Over Some Gum Problems. Would Bonding Help Me Fill The Gaps Left Behind?

Monday, February 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’ve got an aesthetic problem due to periodontics. I’ve had a lot of gum treatment now I think it is starting to get better. I maintain a regular routine with my hygienist every 3 month for a good cleaning. My front teeth look longer than the other ones and there are gaps, my dentist’s advice to me is to put composite bonding resin to fill the gaps and file the longest one, but some dentists say that composite bonding is not really good and can affect the gums and when they file the tooth it can become more sensitive. What do you think?

How Much Would A Partial Denture Of 4 Teeth Cost Me?

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. How much is a partial denture of 4 teeth and how much would total treatment cost me? I have not seen a dentist for over 10 years and am very nervous. If I had further teeth extracted could I have dentures fitted the same day to avoid embarrassment. My only real problem is my top teeth as they are coming loose and I have a few crowns. I am 56 years old and need assurance that I can afford the treatment before proceeding. I look forward to your advice regarding this situation.

I Have A Cyst Which Needs To Be Removed. If It Causes A Gap, Will The NHS Pay To Have This Fixed?

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014
Q.

My NHS dentist noticed that a couple of my front teeth appeared to be coming loose and did an X-ray. He found something on the X-ray and referred me to hospital. The consultant at hospital thought it was a cyst and arranged for a biopsy. The results of the biopsy confirmed that it was a cyst – apparently the sort that has a one in three chance of coming back (it has drained a lot since the biopsy) so I have been referred somewhere else for an operation. I may lose a couple of teeth and/or need a plate in my jaw! If after all the surgery I am left with a gap in my front lower teeth will I have to pay to have something done myself with my dentist or would the NHS sort it out because it happened as the result of an operation. I am a bit unclear as to whether I will just be left with a gap! Thank you for any advice.

Can I Get Veneers On The NHS As My Teeth Get Me Down And I Don’t Smile A Lot?

Tuesday, February 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. My teeth are slack, some are broken and others have holes in them. Can I get veneers on the NHS as it gets me down and I don’t smile a lot? Whenever I eat I get pain in my teeth and I have dentures, do I need my own teeth to have veneers? All of my bottom teeth are my own and a few of the ones on the top set. Most are either rotten decaying or slack, I do feel as though it would boost my confidence greatly and also my self esteem. Any advice you can offer me would be greatly received. Thanks.
