I want to explore my implant options in the UK including the cost, quality and guarantee. Can you advise?

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

Dear Dr. Bohara,

I am based in Qatar in the Middle East. Since I had troublesome upper teeth and some were missing due to bad hygiene and dental bridges did not work for me, as they came off pretty often, hence I went to India for tooth implant. The dental surgeon there took out all my upper teeth, did some bone grafting and gave me a denture to wear as a stop gap. The implant will now take place six months from today (say in June) and then the final prosthesis in another six months. I was told that I need 8 implants. I am not too happy with this process. I want to explore what my options are in the UK, the cost , the quality, the guarantee that the teeth will last long,and the time required for your 4 implants method.
your guidance in this regard will be very much appreciated. Please also let me have the location of your clinic and how long in advance I will have to make an appointment as I will have to fly down to London for the treatment.

Is it really necessary for me to have gum grafting treatment?

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Hello Dr Bohara. I recently visited the dentist and she said since my gums are receding I would need gum grafting. She said bonding could not be done since the teeth would appear longer. Since these teeth are in the back of my mouth where noone can notice, I want to avoid the pain and healing of gum grafts. It has been years since I’ve seen a dentist since I had no insurance. I have no pain except from slight sensitivity where the gums have receded, otherwise nothing. It’s more of a cosmetic issue, I’ve had worse from shaving! Also, is a deep cleaning necessary since it’s been so long? I have tartar build-up on my lower front teeth. Thanks for the help!

I haven’t visited the dentist in 20 years because of a previous experience, what should I do?

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Hi Dr Bohara, I am a 50 yr old woman, living in northern ireland. About 20 years ago, I had an improperly treated abscess, which resulted in theloss of two teeth and since then have worn a temporary denture, as i have been too scared to go back. This is now causing too many problems, as i think i have gum disease. Is there anything I can do? if its possible, would like dentist to hide behind door as i walk in armed with a rubber hammer lol – the problem is my fear of something similar happening again. Please give me some advice, I need to go to the dentist but I’m so frightened.Thank you

Can gum recession like mine lead to tooth loss?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012

Hello Doctor Bohara, i am extremely worried about my front tooth and wondered if you could help me? There is gum recession due hard brushing I believe. I was also told that my perio marking was 0-1 was a 2, and the dentist is pleased. However, i am scared that i will lose my central tooth due to the recession. If this happens how much will it cost to have a dental implant and can I have it done straight away? And do people generally loose teeth with gum recession like mine? Hope you can put my mind at rest. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Is it possible to get root canal treatment on the NHS?

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

Hello. Please advise the cost for root canal treatment for a lower third molar teeth and how long will it take as a treatment process? I was advised to have root canal treatment done as there is a slight infection/abcess on the gums. Please also advise if you take NHS patients in this instance.
Also, my wife had 2 fillings done and her teeth have become more sensitive. She had tried sensitive toothpastes Sensodyne,Pro-enamel but this doesen’t seem to help. Any recommendations from you would be welcome as a dental professional. Many Thanks

I need several teeth extracted and replaced but the price is too expensive. What are my options?

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Hello,

I know I need to get several teeth extracted at the back of my mouth on both sides but I don’t want to have teeth missing as I’m only 30 years old.

I previously suffered from bulimia and I know the decay stems from that.

I can’t afford to pay all at once as it would appear that this could cost me 1000s. Is there a way to pay this off in installments as I really want to to get this fixed so I can feel confident again?

I’ve heard you can sometimes volunteer for trainee dentist at a discount is this possible and how would I go about it in Birmingham?

Thank you for you help.

Kind Regards

My mother has burning gums after using Corsodyl mouthwash too often and for too long. Can you help?

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Dear Dr Kalpesh,

My mum had serious effect of excessive use of the mouthwash. She used this mouthwash called Corsodyl Mouthwash for almost 4 months. She used it 4 times in a day with at least 25-30 min at a time until she realised the change in her gums and teethes.
Now she has burning sensation almost all the time and it grows up efficiently if she had any high sugar containing foods. There is some colour change in the lower part of her tongue as well.
Could you please give me some suggestion, how these things could be cured and what major things does she need to do in order to have healthy gums and teeth back.
Thank you.

I work full time as a nurse but cannot afford veneers, what would you advise me to do?

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

Hello there, I have been struggling with my teeth now for a number of years. I am depressed with my appearance, can’t physically eat with my two front teeth, and I am extremely conscious. I used to feel quite attractive, not any more. I work full time as a nurse, but simply cannot afford the veneers i’v always dreamed of. I’m hoping to get them some day, and I will never give up. It’s making me very unhappy. I love to smile, sing, and talk. All of these things are becoming a daily struggle. Would just appreciate some or any advice as to what I can do. I am at my wits end. Thank you for reading,
