I’ve 9 Missing Teeth As They Didn’t Come Through After My Baby Teeth. What Treatment Should I Get And How Much Would It Cost?

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I’m 27 years old and hate my teeth. I’ve always had 9 teeth missing, they just never came through after my baby teeth fell out. I also have one baby tooth remaining.

I’m wondering what work would need to be done to correct my teeth? The top ones are worse than the bottom ones. It’s not like I have massive gaps between my teeth, just that they do not look aligned properly, like other peoples. Some of my teeth are different lengths or appear at different angles too.

I’m also wondering a rough cost and how long do they last for? Is it painful and would I need to get them re-done at a later date?

I Chipped A Front Tooth A Few Years Back. Should I Have The Other One Reshaped?

Monday, November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie. I chipped one of my front teeth a few years back now but the tooth I chipped has always been longer than the one next to it. Do you think I could I get some sort of reshaping to make it the same length as the one next to it? If so how much do you think would it cost? I need about 2 mm taken of the tooth so its the same length. The part of the tooth that is chipped is now the same length as the other teeth, so the reshaping would also have to match the chip. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

Hello, I Have Severely Crooked Teeth, But I’m Terrified And Don’t Know Where To Start. Is It Possible To Be Knocked Out For All Appointments?

Friday, November 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am 29 year old female, with severely crooked teeth, heavy smoking has created severely tar stained teeth, recess gums, periodontal problems etc. I had a bad experience and am now terrified of going but my bottom four front teeth are feeling a little loose and my incisors have twisted back from my wisdom teeth beginning to show through, it is destroying my life, but I’m so terrified I don’t know where to start, and can’t really afford major surgeries which I know I need.
What kind of treatment plan would you give if I was a patient of yours and is it possible to be knocked out for all appointments? Thank you x

Is There Any Way Of Finding Help With The Cost Of Veneers? My Veneers Are Discoloured And I’d Like Them Changed.

Friday, November 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello, Dr Shaffie. I am trying to find the cheapest way of having my discoloured veneers replaced. 5 on the front top set. I am so unhappy that they are all slightly different colours because they have been replaced at different times. Do any dentists put offers on?
I suffered from bulimia for many years and the bottom teeth are all eroded. I am not a person who has loads of money! Can you please advise me who would help me. Thanks I look forward to hearing from you.

I Would Like Some Advice, I’m Worried Veneers Would Highlight The Discolouration Of My Bottom Teeth. What Would You Suggest?

Thursday, November 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr. Hughes,
I am just contacting you to ask for some advice on possible options for the treatment of fluorosis. I am 19 years old and I have had braces in the past couple of years in order to align my teeth, but now they are off I am more self-conscious about the brown marks/flecks; especially on the upper incisors. I am worried that if I get Lumineers or veneers that they will look fake and make the discolouration of my bottom teeth more noticeable.
I would be grateful if you could give me some advice on what you think would be the best route of treatment, and a rough price-range that I could expect if I decided to get Lumineers or Veneers. Many thanks.

I’m Wondering How I Should Treat The Chip In My Tooth. With Veneers Or Reshaping?

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can help me. My enquiry relates to the fact that I have a chip on my front tooth that is filled with composite, however this constantly keeps coming off. I have been told a veneer is an option however I am wondering if having the tooth reshaped would be a better option? I am worried that the chip in my tooth may be too large to reshape. Any advice you could offer would be great as this is something that constantly worries me and affects my confidence. Thanks, I look forward to any advice you can offer.

I Need A Lot Of Cosmetic Work On My Teeth, But There Is No Way I Can Afford £5000. How Can I Find A Way To Get The Treatment?

Tuesday, November 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’ve just been to my local dentist and he has told me I need a lot of cosmetic work doing on my teeth which is going to cost £5000. I have an NHS exemption and have been told I can’t get any help with the cost. I struggle with the way I look due to my teeth and try not to smile so no one sees them. Can you suggest if I am able to get any help at all as I have very little money but can’t keep going on the way I am. Thanks. I hope you can provide some advice.

I Am Classed As A Complex Case And I’m In Need Of An Expert. Could You Try To Give Me A Normal Smile?

Monday, November 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark. I am classed as a complex case having been born with a cleft palette and having extensive upper and lower jaw surgery. If I made an appointment would I get one with you regarding restorative dental work. I have metal plates holding my jaw together and one is sticking out of my gum and 2 of my molars have crumbled. I also need new veneers and crowns, one crown was recently replaced and has broken in half and all are different colours.  My teeth are also too small as my old veneers have worn down, they have been on for nearly 20 years there is also a large lump that seems to be my jaw bone hanging down. I am in need of an expert and I just want a normal smile for once in my life. Thanks for your time.

I’m Not Happy With My New Implants As They Don’t Match Up Properly. What Can I Do About These?

Thursday, November 7th, 2013
Q.

I have been going through the process of preparing my mouth for two lateral incisor implants for over 3 years. Finally yesterday, my “teeth” were ready to be placed. I was so excited, because I have had holes in my mouth for almost 4 years now. When my dentist handed me the mirror, I was completely disappointed. The teeth are too small, and they do not sit on my gums. Which makes it look like I am still wearing the retainer I had to fill in the spaces, which was way too small. The colouring isn’t right either. I am very very disappointed and angry, because I’ve waited so long. I am 19, and have hated my teeth my whole life, and now after all that work, I still hate them. What can I do about these?

A.
