Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
I am 16 and i am determined to get a set of veneers done. I am living in the UK and i was wondering how much it will cost to have a sull set of veneers and how long they would last if i had the best ones possible. I have had braces fitted on the nhs and to be honest i am not entirely happy with the results so i have always wanted a set of veneers and after seeing the results katie price had with hers i am more determined than ever. Please reply with suggestions and information if possible.

I have badly neglected my teeth

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
I am 62 years old and I have badly neglected my teeth, I have a partial denture and the rest of my teeth are uneven, roots showing etc. In some cases the bone has worn away. All my bottom teeth are okay but very uneven, I don’t know if crowns will be able to rectify the damage. If so I would need approx 16 crowns and a partial denture of 6 teeth. Can you advise on suitability and approx cost?

I have gaps on each side of my front teeth

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
I am 17 years old and am contacting you for some advice. Ever since my baby teeth fell out and made way for my adult teeth i wos left with two gaps at the side of each of my front 2 teeth. I am exremely self conscious about them and they are really starting to lower my slef-esteem and make lose my confidence. I was wondering if there is any way to close these gaps and if in any way it is possible to have the procedure done on the nhs, as I or my family dont really have the funds to do it privately. I understand that my procedure is somehow seen as cosmetic and that may be a reason as to why I cant have it funded on the nhs. But to me a persons health is an holistic state and cannot just be seen as a physical thing. The appearence of my teeth are really beginning to affect me emotionally, and to me that is part of a persons health. I hope you can help me, or guide me in the right direction. Thankyou.

can you help me komal with my daughters teeth

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
Hello Komal, not too sure whether you will be able to help me or not; but here goes. My daughter has just turned 4. We have had a problem since here teeth first appeared. Mainly the 4 front top and 4 bottom. At first the dentists thought it was flourosis, so we treated her accordingly, however after extensive hospital tests it proved nothing of the sort. As we were advised to avoid flouride, we now realised she needed it more than ever. Her teeth on the face and cutting edges started to crumble. We were referred to the Orthodontics hospital in Bristol where she had white painted material intially applied, and then over later months almost like a white filling applied to the directly affected areas. The problem is that these filings fall off after a week or so and then her teeth become too painful for her to eat. We have been told that they can keep reapplying these surface fillings, however we were wondering whether there is a more permanent alternative? The last resort is to have the teeth removed with GA but the hospital do not think these teeth are bad enough to merit this. Due to the constant irritation and pain my daughter is in, is there a cosmetic solution that we can apply to these milk teeth? veneers? I can send you some images of the affected teeth if you believe this would help in your appraisal. Many Thanks in advance.

i have had upper and lower valplast dentures fitted

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
I thought I would let you know that I have had both upper and lower Valplast partial dentures fitted. They fit perfectly and feel very comfortable in my mouth. I have been able to retain my normal diet and my whole face feels rejuvinated and most importanly I have my smile back. I have read these forums for sometime now and would like to stress that implants are not essential. I have found it very annoying reading that members of the panel continually try to ‘hard sell’ impants and dismiss going for conventional dentures at every opportunity they get. Not everyone is a candidate for implants and not everyone can afford them. Furthermore, there are far worse complications with implant failure than denture failure. If there is a good understanding between patient, dentist and the lab then dentures can be successful. I wish the board would embrace this more with the users of this forum and stop condemming dentures and realise that with good care and planning, dentures can work for people.
