Do You Think I Would Be Able To Get A Bridge With The Condition Of My Teeth?

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr. Wondering if you could help me, this is probably fairly standard for you so shouldn’t be too hard a query. Basically, I have a tooth that I believe now needs extracting because I have lost the crown that was on it and I have just left it over quite a period of time. I not been to the dentist because, to be honesty with you I am scared of the pain and haven’t really been wanting to go through it.. One of the teeth next to it is in great condition and the other has filling, some of which has also fallen away. So now you have a little context, I was wanting to know, can I have a bridge do you think? I don’t want to have false teeth and certainly can’t afford a cosmetic crown. How much ( if I am able to have a bridge) will it cost?

I hate my discoloured teeth, what can I do?

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Q.

Hello, at the age of four i tripped and shattered some of my milk teeth. The fall severely damaged and injured my gums. This led to my new teeth growing pitted and damaged. I am now twenty-one and my adult teeth are hideous. They are all pitted and stained and cause bouts of sensitivity. I have previously tried home stain removal kits, whitening kits and have also had temporary fillers put on them in the past and these just seem to chip off.
Am i able to get help in funding for veneers on eight teeth (four top, four bottom)?
I am currently a full-time student at university so cannot afford to pay for private dental work. I am also due to get married next year and just want to be able to smile.
Thank you

I can feel a pulse around my crowned tooth and gums. Can you advise?

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Q.

I have a crown that is 5yrs old… recently have had uncomfortable feeling around the tooth. Its not really painful but can feel a pulse around the tooth and gums. Seen dentist and had x ray… said it was just that I am grinding and bite needed adjusting. had teeth cleaned and polished and was on anti biotics incase of infection. but still feels uncomfortable… can you help please

There is not enough pain to be that worried but cannot be right that I can feel pulse all the time.There is no or very little bleeding around the tooth, but when I tap the crown, it does feel uncomfortable, but not excessively painful.

I have 3 crowns all together on left side upper mouth, also have 1 same side lower mouth.

thanks

My Veneers Are Too Large, Can They Be Made To Look More Natural?

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi I recently got composite veneers done on 10 of my teeth and am not thrilled with the results, they are not delicate and are way too large for my mouth. My smile appears rather ‘toothy’ and over impactful. I stressed on the importance of natural prior treatment. I am severley disappointed with the results to be hoenst with you, I have thought about taking action but have been advised that there would be no point since I agreed to the treatment etc. It’s just infuriating cosidering the dentist supposedly does it for 80% of Bollywood I figured I was in safe hands but maybe I was a little excited at the prospect of a new smile and didn’t think it through thoroughly enough. I’ve realised his heavy work is only best meant for screen.

Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks

Which Material Would Be The Best For My Bridge?

Thursday, March 14th, 2013
Q.

Which material is better to make a
bridge? The original tooth that is holding the bridge is cracked. We know our chchoices are ceramic or metal back. I am 83 years old and am in pretty good health otherwise, no heart condition, diabetes, breathing trouble—just overweight. I take celebrex every other day, baby asprin, omneprozle, claritin genetic, and vitamins. i exercise about 4 to 5 times a week at a gymn. I have a hearing problem. I do not have false teeth. so my question really when it boils down to it is which is the best kind of bridge for me to go for considering my circumstances (age, health, supplements taken etc.) would the  bridge be better if it were, ceramic or metal back teeth?

My Tooth Was Almost Knocked Out Playing Hockey And After Treatment It Is Now Turning Black, Help?

Monday, March 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr. 3 weeks ago I was playing hockey and my front left tooth was knocked back and almost out with a hockey stick. I was real worried at the time obviously however I was assured it was okay. The dentist put the tooth back in and then braced it to the teeth surrounding it. It has been 3 weeks since the incident and the tooth is now turning black. I was told to keep the brace on for 5 weeks. What are my options as the other front tooth has started to move forward. I do not want a black tooth as I am a business student and I want to have a decent smile as I previously had 3 years of braces. What should I do to have the best smile?

Are There Any Better Brace Deals Than The One I Have Been Offered?

Friday, March 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I’ve got some x-rays, impressions and a cast from a clinic based in London.

They offered me a ICE ceramic brace on my upper jaw.
the payment is £1147 on the 1st visit then £100 each adjustment time until the completion.

The clinic will need to receive £200 deposit 1.5 weeks prior to the brace fitting.

– Bite raising 1.5 week depending on how the teeth and bone react

– ICE ceramic brace on the upper jaw/outside.

-And activation (includes material replacement)  £100 will be payable on each visit for about 12 – 18 months, so the full course of treatment will be in the region of £2447.

The cost also includes the brace removal and retainer. But I want a gum contouring to.

Do you know if any clinics in London could offer me a better payment plan?
And can I get some dental insurance or a dental loan anywhere?

All the best.

My Orthodontic Treatment Left Me Unhappy, Can It Be Reversed?

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

About 2 years ago I finished orthodontic treatment to have my congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors replaced by my canines and had two of my bottom premolars extracted to have this done. I have since been unhappy with the results and feel like I have had a change in facial shape for the worse (however I am unsure whether this is due to the braces or not). I was wondering if there is any way to undo this treatment in the future so my teeth are where they are meant to be, to replace my missing teeth with implants and whether or not this could improve the shape of my face. I was also wondering if you could estimate how much this would cost as I assume I could not get braces on the NHS again.

Thank you,

A.
