Q. I am aged seventy two and I have had upper crowns and bridges for about twenty five years, now two of the teeth are crumbling inter palatally. This involves the left central incisor and the canine tooth. The remedy which has been suggested is to cut of my bridge between the central incisors, have the teeth removed on the upper left and then have implants. Until I get a new bridge I will need to wear dentures, the estimated cost for this is £9k. There will be two dentists involved in this; one says that I must stop smoking and the other dentist say that I do not need to. At present I am hoping that “cosmetic bonding” is an alternative. My questions are. Could “cosmetic bonding” prevent the offending teeth from additional crumbling? If implants are the only solution, will I need to stop smoking? Many thanks.
A. Bonding is a good temporary solution although if the teeth need to come out then it might not work that well. If you have implants stopping smoking will help improve the success rate.

Q. Hi i have a gap between my to front teeth and i really dislike it alot and was woundering what the best aproach is? ive heard of dentail bonding and was woundering what are your thoughts on that? ive always wanted the top teeth made into veneers to get a perfect smile but it costs to much so thats why i was woundering about bonding and how much roughly would it cost?
A. Thanks for your questions, Dental bonding could be an option, depending on the size of the gap you are trying to close. I would expect you to pay no more than £300 for the two teeth. Your other options would be veneers, which I would expect to cost between £400 – £600 per tooth, or teeth straightening for which I currwently have treatments available from £999. There are many practices now, who are able to offer monthly payments schemes such as interest free credit to help you spread the costs of treatment. I hope this helps.

Q. I am 46 year old and have alway hated my uneven teeth. I hate having my photo taken and I have wanted to have vaneers on them for years. I think that i need at least eight and teeth whitening to make them look better. Can you tell me how much this procedure would cost. Thank you
A. It depends
on how crooked your teeth I often carry out some short term straightening of your teeth first and would then place veneers as this minimises the removal of your natural teeth. You need to find a good cosmetic dentist and have an assessment.

Q. Hello, I am interested in the option of cosmetic bonding as my teeth are slightly even and discoloured. I would like to know the kind of prices that this would involve (I understand this will vary from dentist to dentist so just a rough idea would be great) Thanks
A. Thanks for your question, you are right in that the prices will vary between practices, but you should expect to pay between £80 – £150 for this treatment.
Many Thanks

Q. Hi, I’ve been reading about teeth bonding as a possible solution to acid erosion. My front teeth have signs of what appears to be accid erosion, although my dentist said there is no problem, but my two front teeth are translucent nearly half way up. Could you please recommend a cosmetic dentist in South Wales (Newport or Cardiff) for me to arrange an appointment to further discuss my problem? Thank you.
A. hi many thanks for your email, i unfortunately do not know any dentists personally from the area i can recommend but if you do a little research i will be happy to look at the dentist for you and give you my opinion on if the dentist will look after you on a cosmetic level.

Q. How do you protect your teeth if you have had the front teeth bonded? And what type of toothpaste should you use to keep your teeth from staining?
A. One way to protect your teeth would be to wear a night guard to protect them during your sleep. Simple toothpasts form your local chemist/supermarket will do a good job to keep your teeth clean – you may want ot visit your hygienist as well!

Q. I went to a local dentist and ask about my options for my two front teeth that are SLIGHTLY worn away on the bottom. he said he would do crowns. I said NO. BECAUSE I didn’t want so much of my teeth to be taken away. He said he would do veneers. I left the office devistated because he took my two front teeth down to miniature chicklets. He put on temps that are joined together in the center and are very tough.
I am sick over this.He is charging more for veneers than crowns. He has now choice to me but to do crowns. What can I do. I called the office and left a message to call me immediately on Monday. What is my recourse?
A. Ideally you should have discussed this before any treatment was done, sometimes cosmetic bonding can repair chipped teeth in a minimal way. If the teeth are now prepared veneers are the better option. Please talk to your dentist.

Q. My dentist just applied bonding to the back of my front teeth. They feel thinner and now I am worried they will break easily. Also, I worry as to how long the bonding will last. If the bonding wears off, what do you do then. I dont want caps. I dont know why he chose to do this procedure. My teeth are pretty and white. Maybe because I am 59 yrs old and perhaps he thought this would help preserve them. Is this a mistake of my life? Am I headed toward more espensive procedures?
A. This is difficult to answer as there can be many reasons for bonding teeth. If you are concerned please contact your dentist to voice your concerns

Q. Hi my front teeth are perfectly together, however there is a small gap at the outer edge of them between the next teeth. I was wondering how much (roughly) would cosmetic bonding cost to make them look perfect and also how long does it roughly take? ( how many sessions?) It is something that has bothered me for ages and it affects my confidence so I am hoping to get it fixed. Also i have moved to Uxbridge area of Middlesex, so are there any dentists that you know of who could recommend to carry out the procedure, although if required i wouldn’t mind travelling into London. kind regards
A. Bonding takes one visit to do following a consultation. It would cost anything up to anout £400 deoending on the size. I do not know of anyone in this area but im sure if you search for a dentist in that area in google you will find many.
Kind regards

Q. Hello I had bulimia in the past and my teeth are heavily damaged, the front teeth especially have lost enamel and left ugly yellow marks that brings down my confidence. I am considering teeth whitening. Would this make the yellow marks disappear? Thank you for your time
A. I have treated a number of bullimic patients and if all the enamel has been removed the teeth will not whiten, better option is bonded fillings or porcelain veneers or crowns.

Q. Dear Dr. Patel, At the age of around 12 I chipped my front tooth after a fall leaving less than half of my front tooth behind. I had a filling applied to this, but the tooth has gradually darkened over time. I’ve heard that this is due to internal bleeding within the tooth. Yesterday, this filling fell out and I am yet again left with half a tooth. The tooth in question is a few shades darker than my other front tooth and it looks very bad. I’m an 18 year old on a gap year, with no money at all. Would the NHS be able to help with my problem because it really looks awful? Thank you
A. You should be able to get NHS treatment you might need a root canal treatment and maybe a crown, or a bonded filling and internal tooth whitening.

Q. I have bonding, approx. 12 years old, on my two front teeth which are stained yellow. I am going to do an at-home whitening system. Do I need to wait 2 weeks after I’ve totally completed the whitening before I have the bonding replaced ? Thus, do I need to wait in order for my teeth to fully absorb & change color to the final “whiteness” in order to accurately match the bonding to the new white? Also, I’ve been told that I cannot do the ZOOM in office whitening because I have extremely sensitive teeth. Is this true as well?
A. Zoom is not advised for extremely sensitive teeth.
You should wait a week after finishing the whitneing before replacing the bonding to give them time to settle.
Kind regards

Q. I’m 15 years old, and have a gap between my two front teeth. Lots of my friends have recieved braces, but I was never offered, and I heard something about once your 16, you have to pay for them. I wondered what my options – besides braces – were for closing the gap, within a resonable price range.
A. If you have enough functional justification for NHS braces its free till 18 or 19 if your in full time education.
Simple ways to close gaps at 15 are bonding tooth coloured filling ( cosmetic bonding ) to do a Diastema closure.
Once your gum shape stabilises ( aound 18-21yrs old ) Veneers are a googd option for diastema / gapclosure.
if you pay private fees expecty around £100 per tooth, but as the gap is usually closed from both sides £200 per gap. AN NHS dentist might do a simplified procedure for free.
