Q. i have seriously bad teeth i need help quickly i have not been to a dentist for 5 years because of cost i need a surgery where i can pay weekly or monthly
A.
I would recommend that you arrange a consultation appointment with a local dentist, many of whom can offer free initial visits. At this appointment, the dentist would be able to advise you of the treatment which you require, as well as the associated prices. Many practices do now have the facilities to offer monthly payment schemes, including interest free credit. However, if this is not available to you, at least you will be able to plan the appointments you need according to your finances, and just spread the treatment over a longer period. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks

Q. Hi Dr Solanki. I am 39 and live in the Manchester area. I have been looking at your practice on the internet for some time now and like what i see. I know it is very difficult for you to give such advice without seeing me but i have just a few questions before i take the plunge if that’s ok. Without going into the reasons why my teeth are like they are (same story as everyone else) i am sure what remains of my top teeth need to be removed. If i book a consultation at your practice, what is the cost of this ? and what is included ? xrays ect ? I would like to go down the road of implants with a fixed bridge. Now, assuming my bone is sufficiant what is the likely cost, with everything included. I have saved a small deposit of around £3000 and obviously would need to finance the rest. I am in secure well payed employment. However my credit reference isnt the best with 2 blemishes on. Does your practice do finance and would i be likely to get it ? Sorry for going on and thanks for your time.
A. Thanks for your question, I offer a free inital consultation, to discuss your treatment options and to outline the associated prices. There would be fees associated with x-rays, but often this would be at a second appointment, when my patient has decided that they are happy to proceed. Although I am unable to give a definate price for this treatment, without a consultation, I would usually estimate around £10,000. We do have the facility to offer interest free credit for this treatment, over a period of up to two years, or interest bearing credit over a maximum of five years. I hope this information will be of assistance, however if you require any further guidance or would like to arrange a free initial consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kindest Regards

Q. Hello, I have had a Inman Aligner treatment and I finished it. But my dentist suggested I wear the Inman Aligner after the treatment for few more months so I have worn it for more than 10 months(I guess, but I did have proper treatment before wearing Inman Aligner with metal thing). Unfortunately, I lost it today and I don’t think I could find it and moreover, I don’t I could see my dentist again, as he is in different country. I want to have a new Inman Aligner, the appliance, but not the treatment, as I have finished it already. How much do you think, in this case, would cost me to have an Inman Aligner? If it is far over £500(but I do hope that the cost would be far less than 500, as I DO NOT NEED ANY TREATMENT, BUT JUST THE APPLIANCE), could you recommend me other appliances that might be suitable to keep the “already rearranged shape”?(And that should be fairly cheap, because my parents have already paid quite a lot to arrange a treatment for me and they do not want to spend extra money, which means that I have to pay)
A. You need a retainer if you are happy with your teeth now you need a fixed metal wire placed around the backs of the front teeth and a removable “gumshield” retainer. Find an orthodontist or good dentist and they will be able to provide this for you.

Q. I’m quite young, Actually just 21! I used to always hate going to the dentist when i was little so i had Pretty teeth in the front but horrible ones in the back. When i finally went to one when i was 16 he did 4 root canals on 2 of my back teeth on both sides. I had medicaid at the time and didn’t tell me that medicaid wouldn’t pay for the rest so basically i couldnt do anything about it. From then on i had to get 2 back teeth pulled (on the same side) which doesn’t bother me.. I’m goin to have to get the other teeth pulled soon and some on top in the back. My question is. well my front teeth are decaying and almost gone. What are my options that i can get done. I will save up the money to pay for it but just trying to get info on what i should be getting done! and its about 4 teeth up front! Thanks so much for your time!
A. It depends on the extent of the decay if the teteh can be saved root canal treatmnet and crowns may be an option, if the decay is quite shallow you might be able to have fillings. if the teeth need to be removed your options are dentures, bridges or dental implants.

Q. Hi I’ve just had a a crown done and very disappointed as from the underneath it looks like two huge black fillings. Is there anything that can be done to disguise this such as a veneer? Many Thanks for your time.
A.
Go and see your dentist and tell them what you do not like. You can always have a metal free crown made.

Q. I have an abnormal physcological fear of dentists which is a result of a face slap by a dentist when I was a child (he pushed a sore tooth with his finger and I bit his finger) The last time I visited a dentist was 1972 they pumped me full of “happy gas” to try and get me to relax, I burned it up quicker than they could pump it in. When I get hurt I become violent, subsequently I have to be put under with a general anesthetic. My teeth need to be sorted out and some implants out in for ones that are missing and others that will have to be removed, but feel it would have to be done under proper hospital op conditions Is this possible please.
A. Hi, there are other options, certainly you might be able to have treatment under general anaesthetic at a hospital. In my clinic we treat so many nervous patients who have had similar problems to you. You need to find a dentist you can trust. in my practice we use IV sedation but we also use a medical anaesthist you can combine a number of drugs to relax you. I find this works very well.

Q. Hello Doctor,I’m 13 years old. The 2 teeth to the sides of my front 2 teeth are slightly rotated and leaves a gap when I smile. I’ve been to the orthodontics and they refuse to give me treatment under the NHS. So i would like to know what the best treatment to straighten my side 2 teeth would be, also i would like to know the approximate amount of the treatment if i did it privately. Thankyou
A. You have the option of private fixed braces or invisalign, costings vary from £2000 upwards.

Q. I had a root canal done on a mandibular 2nd molar 5 days ago, was already being treated with antibiotic as a precaution. After the novacaine wore off I was in a great deal of pain. Took vicodin and antibiotic as prescribed, called the dentist the following morning. He switched my antibiotic to a stonger one and said he would see me next week. I was awake all night tat night again in pain, called his emergency number, now accompanied by swelling an an inability to eat due to pain. He returned my call suggesting that I make an appt after the wknd was over to come in to have the tooth extracted. I am 44 years old, female, in good health. This is my second root canal and experienced nothing like this with my last one. Even the exterior of my face is painful when touched. Any suggestions on what has gone wrong or what I should do?
A. Sometimes an infection is so severe it won’t clear wth root canal. In these cases sometimes removal of the tooth is the only option. You could also ask for a referral to a specialist in root canal , an endondontist.

Q. Hi, It was a few years ago i noticed black dots on my teeth, i’ve since been to the dentist every 6 months apart from in the last year. She has always said there is nothing to worry about, but now i havent been to see the dentist in a while i have noticed they are gradually getting larger and on one of my teeth there is a second smaller black dot(the black dots are situated on the back two teeth on the bottom on either side, 4 in total)I have a phobia of any dental surgery. I had 2 teeth removed when i was 8/9yo under gas because of it and have was wondering is this decay also if it is are there any treatment which i would be put tosleep for the procedure?
A. It is very likely that the black dot is just stain in the pits an fissures of the teeth. Ask your dentist to x-ray them that way you will be able to tell if the dots are decay or just stain. You could have them filled if needed with sedation although the fillings will probably be very small.

Q. hi there im a 25 year old male with a huge problem i have very very bad teeth in fact i have neglected them for so long i barely have any left!now the problem i have is that 1 i am petrified of the dentist and 2 i do not think i can afford to get them fixed or replaced please could you advise me of what i can do several years of agony and funny looks has got to come to an end
A. for NHS treatment contact your PCT ( Primary healthcare trust) dental contracts division and ask for details of local sedation services for dental anxiety .
for private options check the practice offers IV sedation then investigate a few local ones before deciding on the best one for you.
Sounds like you are ready.
Good Luck

Q. Hi, I had a really bad diet throughout my youth years and now i’m in to my late 20’s it is catching up with me (I suffered a food disorder and now i have cured that over the last year and massively improved my diet i also suffered from regurgitation due to the poor diet and stomach acid coming back up has not helped the situation) I have lost 3 lower bottom teeth (on my left side) And have massive decay on the bottom 3 on the right (I think on my next visit i will have to have an extraction on one) What options do i have as i really need to rebuild the back teeth in my mouth or i fear further trouble in the future! Any help/advice will be of great benefit! Thank you for your time!
A. If you can save the teeth on the right you could try crowns. If not then you may need to consider either removable teeth- a denture, or fixed false teeth – dental implants.Implants are probably the best solution as fixed teeth tend to be easy to maintain and are generally more comfortable.

Q. I have been suffering wit a dead front tooth (top) for over a month. The dentist has drilled a hole in the back of the tooth, and initially left the tooth open in order for the bacteria to be killed off by the oxygen. This alleviated the pain initially. The tooth was then padded with soaked disinfectant on cotton wool. Following this after a week or so the tooth was repacked but left open. After the following week the tooth was packed with cotton wool and then sealed with a temporary filling. This felt ok for a while and then the pain was too great and so I removed the temporary filling and the padding and left the tooth open. This alleviated the pain once more. The tooth has now been packed again and sealed over with a temp filling and the pain at this point is quite bad with pain now at the gum and painful to pressure. Should I leave the filling in place or remove it and let the air in again? Is there a better method, this all seems a little ludicrous for this day and age!!!
A. You may need to consider removing the tooth if the infection doesn’t clear soon. Alternatively you could ask your dentist to refer you to a specialist endodontist, they might have more success in saving the tooth and completing the root canal

Q. HI DR i am so scared of having my teeth looked at , And I know I need some teeth removed because some are black and chiped . Can I be put to sleep ?
A. contact your local primary Healthcare Trust (PCT) ask for Dental Contracts and they will tell you who has a NHS sedation contract in your area. For Private treatment search for practices offering IV sedation.
Sedation is probably your best route which is why I given those details although you need to speak to the provider to wexplain what this be be like in your case. The risks associated with general anaesthetics mean it is rarely indicated for dentistry, and if it is you would need a hospital refferal from a dental practice like the sedation services mentioned.

Q. I have been trying to wear a nightguard /splint. But it’s causing me pain especially on one side where I have a bridge. In the morning it seems like the pain is in the gum under/behind the bridge area. It’s like one side feels alright but this side isn’t. I was hoping maybe you could shed some light on why this might be happening. Your thoughts on this are much appreciated. Thank you.
A. I guess the splint is either rubbing on the gum or causing pressure on the bridge. pop back to your dentist and ask him to adjust it

Q. I have quite severe overcrowding in my lower teeth leaving the front 4 quite crooked, one in particular which is pushed back behind the others. My top teeth are also slightly crooked but nowhere near as bad as the bottom. It has left me miserable and embarrassed to talk or smile. I am 30 years old. What would be your recommended treatment, how much is it likely to cost, and are such treatments usually payable by a payment plan? Thank you.
A. Thanks for your questions, you should be pleased to find out that most practices which offer teeth straightening treatments have the facility to provide payment plans. Many even offer interest free credit, subject to status. There are many straightening systems available, all with there own advantages, from invisible braces, to braces which work in as little as six weeks. Although prices will vary between systems and practices, I can tell you that I currently offer treatments from £999. I hope this helps.
