Q. I have had to have one side of my upper teeth removed, this has caused this side of my face to collasp and my mouth had lost definition and is drooping to one side, I look like I have had a stroke. Can you offer me any adice is this normal can this be corrected in any way so that both sides of my face are semetrical again.
A. hi many thanks for your email, when you lose teeth this can have a dramatic effect on the facial features on that area, unfortunately the only way to restore your face to some kind of symmetry would be to replace the missing teeth with either dental implants, bridge work if possible or a denture. hope this is helpful.

Q. I have had a leaking abcess above my front left crowned tooth … some dentists say it is not a problem as the toxins can get out, but I have noticed that both Front teeth are now loose , is the infection eating into my bone ? I am considering a bridge as I cant afford implantology is that likely to be a problem .
A. hi many thanks for your email, if you have an abcess then the chances are the infection will be eating the bone. my advice is to get it sorted as soon as possible. a bridge is a good option to replace a missing tooth as long as the teeth holding the bridge are strong and healthy.

Q. I have a tooth gap caused by missing two lower central incisors. then my dentist discussed with me that the solution with the problem is to enlarge the gap more enough to fit a fixed bridge so he had to put braces on my teeth. its been 10 months now, and the gap’s size now is like enough for one central incisor. but he said its enough space to place already the fixed bridge. im wondering how could 2 lower central incisors fit onto a space enough for only one? can you help me, am i on the right track here? thanks…
A. hi. many thanks for your email, if you are unsure what the final aesthetic outcome is you could ask your dentist to produce a diagnostic waxup which is a model of your mouth with the final bridge waxed up in the gap area so you can see how it will look before you commit to having the bridge placed.

Q. my mother has just (on friday) had the rest of her upper teeth extracted after the front 6 were bridged ten years ago and unfortunately came loose a few months ago. Her dentist has provided her with dentures that are very lifelike but unbearable for her to live with. Dentures are not an option in her mind at present with her being a young 57 year old. We are exploring the avenue of implants and possibly implants with a bridge. how soon will this be able to be completed? We understand there are healing processes from the initial extraction and the implant procedure…but can you give us some kind of idea. thank you. kind regards.
A. hi, many thanks for your email, generally 8 – 10 weeks after the extractions is enough time for the healing to take place before dental implants are placed, the minimum number of implants to support the front six teeth would be 3, once the implants are placed there is usally again a waiting time of around 12 weeks before the final bridge can be placed. the price of such a treatment would cost around £6000 – £8000 dependant on where you went for your treatment. hope this is helpful.

Q. Hello, I’ve had surgery to expose both canines in my palette and a brace to move them forward, however the spaces aren’t large enough for them to move into the correct position. Both caninees sit in place, but behind the natural position. Is it possible to attach a false tooth (or a thick veneer?) to the front of each of the real canines rather than to have a bridge or brace? Or would it be a possibility to shave the sides of each canine and both adjacent teeth on each side to give the canines room to move forward without the removal of any upper molars and use of a brace to create space? Many thanks
A. hi many thanks for your email there is a procedure where you can skim of the tooth tissue on the side of the teeth called IPR which can then create enough space to move the teeth into allignment. my advice is go to see a cosmetic orthodontist and ask his views on what can be achieved. hope this is helpful.

Q. hi Dr Caplan 24 years ago i had 4 crowns fitted, my teeth were uneven before the crowns so the dentist inserted metal posts into my gums the new crowns were fab since then i have had a root canal filling due to reacurring abscess which took several hours 3 years ago one of the metal posts dropped out the dentist did some alterations to the crown and put the post in place he told me it could last one week one month or maybe years depending on how i looked after it and he would not be able to do any further repairs and my options would be a inplant or a denture the post has dropped out again it is next to sound tooth and a crown ,what are my options i cannot afford a inplant and do not want a plate thank you
A. Your only othe roption will be to have a bridge to replace the failing crown/crowns

Q. I had a bridge for about 15years which consisted of 2 back crowns a front crown which supported the 2 teeth that were missing on the upper jaw and the bridge was good but it started to come loose and my dentist told me that it was because my gums were receeding so it would have to be replaced so it was with a front and back crown that was nearly 5 years ago but now the bridge has broke off from the front crown, The same dentist has suggested a denture as I would not get another bridge,As dental treatmant is so expensive in the UK I was thinking about haveing it done abroad, So please could you advise me if there is any other options with the NHS about haveing another bridge done? Thank You
A. hi many thanks for your email, i am unaware that the NHS would make a new bridge if the dentist has said another bridge is not possible. my only advice is that if you think a new bridge is possible then seek the advice of a second dentist. i would personally stay clear of dentistry abroad but that is just from what i have seen and had to retreat but you pay your money and take your chances. hope this is helpful.

Q. Hi, I wonder if you can help. I had an upper bridge fitted by an NHS dentist and it really is the worst thing I have ever done. The 4 teeth are massive and I feel my smile has been ruined. I now speak with a slight lisp and have a constant dry mouth. I also now have an over bite. This bridge also sticks out farther than the teeth either side of it. I am so upset about this.My question I guess it – can a bridge be filled down
A. This is unlikely to be possible and you probably need a new bridge. NHS dentists are limited as far as aesthetics goes due to the fee that they recieve limiting them to use basic laboratory technicians to produce well fitting bridges but with limited aesthetics

Q. Hello Dr Solanki I had a missing tooth at the back of my upper teeth, the front two had previously been veneered some 14 years ago and one tooth next to a front tooth was a crown. I wanted the crown replaced, a bridge to be fitted to fill the missing tooth and the rest of my uppert teeth, which were healthy, to be veneered. The dentist thought it best to replace the whole upper teeth with two seper bridges, one starting from the right front and one fron the left front, a total of 11 teeth. the bridge unit starting from the left is ok , feeling quite smooth, but the other unit feels rough.What is causing this and what would be the remedy, and also, is it wise to file down perfectly healthy teeth to take a bridge? Thanks
A. hi, my answer to your question is i try to avoid filing down healthy teeth to accomodate a bridge, the bridge could be rough due to excess cement being left around it, or the porcelain might not have been glazed sufficiently to give it a smooth surface. if this is the case it can be polished in the mouth with a diamond paste. hope this information is helpful.

Q. I am 46. I have been wearing partial dentures for past 20 years. Now I a thinking of having bridges. where do I start. Should I consult a cosmetic dentist.
A. That is a great place to start. You need a complete oral health examination to decide which is the best way forward. Careful planning is required to make sure you have the best treatment possible.If you wish to visit me for a free cosmetic consultation please contact my receptionist

Q. Hi Dr Caplan, My front left tooth has gone very crooked and exposed a large part of the root and is extremely loose, the 3 teeth to the left of that are missing and i wear a bridge which has contributed to the twisting, the next 3 teeth are not in good condition and the gum has receeded. on the right side my front tooth is chipped, the next 2 teeth are slightly longer and the gum is receeding, the molars on the right are not bad but there are just gaps and 1 is missing. would it be better to have most of the teeth pulled and a denture fitted as there are only about 8 teeth on my upper jaw and most are not up to the job. could you give me advice and a rough estimate of cost. I live in North London, not too far from St Albans. Many Thanks
A. Thank you for your questions. Apologise for not getting back sooner but I have been away lecturing. In your situation I have often used a precision retained denture. In America they are called removable bridges because of the accuracy of their fit. There may be other solutions but ti sounds like this may be a likely treatment for your problem. Treatmetn costs vary depending on the type of treatment you desire. Please contact my receptionist to make an appointment for me to assess your specific problems Kind regards Dr Julian Caplan

Q. hi Dr Solanki, i am currently considering have an implant as i currently have 4 teeth lower jaw bridge.where is the best place to have this kind of treatment uk or abroad?i was lookng at one in budapest,hungary and it look quite good any advice?Thank you for yourtime.

Q. I need to renew some bridgework and have a smile makeover. With so many dentists offering what seems to be a great service how do I go about find the best & most experienced dentist to carry out the work? In the pastI have had a poor experience with a bridge fitted and do not want to compromise on quality and results again. Kind regards
A. Hi
Thanks for your questions, I think that the most successful way of finding the best dentist to carry out your smile makeover, would be to listen to recommendation from friends or relatives who have had similar work carried out. If this avenue is not fruitful, then I would suggest researching different cosmetic dentists on the internet, and maybe consider attending a few practices who offer free initial consultations. This would allow you to meet the dentist, discuss the options that they recommend and make an informed choice based on your experiences without any financial loss or commitment to treatment. I hope this is helpful, and encourage you to contact me again if you require further assistance.
Kindest Regards

Q. Hi Dr. Moore. I have two maryland bridges replacing my eye teeth. They were recently replaced as the ones that I’ve had since I was 14 (I’m now 30) were chipped etc. That being said, the new ones keep popping out. My dentist has used numerous types of cement but it keeps happening. As my roots are too close together for impants (I was born without the teeth) are there any other options for me? Thank you
A. If the 1st bridges lasted a long time it might be worth trying new bridges perhaps looking more closely at the bite as this is often the reason the bridges come out.

Q. ihad 3 front teeth taken out 3 days ago and partial dentures fitted. Unfortunately they very uncomfortable and all i seem to be biting on is plastic. Will they settle down? Please advise.
A. Yes they normally do but let your dentsit have another look if they aren’t settled in in 2 weeks, you could also consider alternatives such as implants or bridges.

Q. Dear Dr. Patel. I have just had a replacement bridge and whilst the two crowned teeth supporting the false tooth are well fitted the centre false tooth has a gap at the gum line and appears to be leaning out a little. The dentist has filed it to reduce the bulky appearance but this has not helped and it is not as good as the original bridge I had done 8 years ago by the same dentist. The dentist is trying hard to please me and has arranged to put a veneer on the FALSE tooth. Is having a veneer on a false tooth common and how durable will it be. I would be very pleased to receive a reply. Thank you very much.
A. I think that putting a veneer over the tooth may not work the bridge needs to be removed and if it can be taken off in one piece can be sent to the laboratory and fixed, if not you will need a new bridge.
