Thank you very much.

How long will i have to wait to wear a denture after my bone graft?
Monday, January 10th, 2011Hi
I had a front tooth extracted 6 months ago, and due to short roots on my front teeth, a bridge is not an option. I have a denture at the moment, but I have been told if I want an implant, I would need a bone graft first. Will the graft damage or loosen the teeth either side, and how quickly will I be able to wear my denture after the graft. Thanks

Should I buy a home whitening kit online or get one from my dentists?
Friday, January 7th, 2011Is it safe to buy a home whitenking kit from ukwhitening.co.uk. they say they sell many whitening products to many dentists and they make the mould for you… i am just a bit concerned. However it is only £100 and my dentists charges £300 for the home whitening…
What can i do about my shrinking gums caused by wearing dentures?
Friday, January 7th, 2011Iam 57 years old,have had upper dentures with no frontal gumshield for 13 years,my gums have shrunk and my mouth has a sunken look with little visible teeth on show. What treatment would be the best for me ? I really hate how I now look and have lost my confidence. If possible could you give me some information of the approximate cost of any recommendation you make. I have 10 lower teeth ,having lost the back ones about the same time. I have tried hard to look after what I was born with but inherited poor quality teeth and then having 2 children in early forties took it’s toll. I would be very grateful for any advice. Thank You
Can lumineers cover the gap between my two upper front teeth?
Friday, January 7th, 2011Hi Kailesh
I have a diastema between my two upper front teeth. The gap is about half the width of one tooth. I’m reluctant to have braces and would like to know what cosmetic solutions could be used. Apart from the diastema my teeth are healthy so i dont really want lots of drilling for traditional veneers. Could Lumineers be the answer? Approx how much would this cost to get done in the UK. Thanks.
Can I have a brace fitted to my two front teeth to bring them forward?
Friday, January 7th, 2011 Hello
My top two front teeth have been gradually moving backwards duing the past ten years. I am now 21 and they have moved about 1mm behind the rest of my front teeth. Although it doesn’t seem alot it ruins my smile, and everytime I run my toungue along the back of my top teeth I can feel them sticking out. I have never had a brace although now I wish I had, they just never really bothered me before.
I am a full time student who has nearly finished my final year at university, I do not have alot of money, could you advise what could be done to bring my teeth forward again?
Thanks for your time.
