My new dentist tells me I should have 5 teeth removed after my crowns became damaged. What advice can you give?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Q.

i recently visited a new dentist as my previous one was too far away, i had 2 crowns before and they got damaged and fell out, when i returned to my old dentist he said they needed to be removed as the crown was not staying put. that was november and my new dentist was quite abrupt and rude and told me the 2 needed 2 be removed and another 3, 1 is a widom tooth. he told me the nhs would not pay for me to have thosands of pounds of work done and he would not treat me until the teeth had been removed. he then made a hospital appointment for this to happen under sedation. i agree the wisdom and the previous 2 need to be removed but the others im sure can be saved, otherwise it leaves me with 2 back teeth??

My teeth have moved after having attached braces and I also grind my teeth, would Invisalign be a good option?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Q.

Hello,

I have slightly squint front teeth which I have had attached braces for during my teens. However over time they seem to be slightly squint again.

I’d like to get Invisalign-do prices begin at around the 3000 mark or can it be cheaper in milder cases?

Also I grind my teeth during my sleep and wear a gum shield to protect my teeth during the night. Would I still be able to have Invisalign? Would it stand up to my grinding?
I need a new gum shield every 8 months or so.

Thanks,

How much do braces cost?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

hiya. iv been looking into getting braces for a while now but didnt realise how expensive they can be! im 23 years old, and my teeth are slightly crowded. im thinking if having braces fitted as iv noticed that my one tooth on one side has slowly started to move back, and i dont want this to happen to my other teeth. i was jus emailing to ask a rough price guide for braces that you offer? i no its difficult to say without having assessed my teeth, but i was jus looking for a rough price guide, including one for the 6 months smile i think it was.
thanks,

What is the best set of veneers on the market?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I’ve had pitted enamel on my teeth all my life, which makes them look so yellow and I’m fed up with feeling self-conscious about smiling. Where can I get a good, trusted set of veneers? And is there a payment scheme around, as I’m a student?
Thanjs

What can you suggest for someone who needs braces, has very little money and cannot recieve them on the NHS?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

I have a number of problems with my teeth, I have a tooth that is set back from the rest of my teeth and my top teeth overlap my bottom teeth. I feel that I need braces or some form of teeth straightening. The issue is that I am 24, nearly 25 years old so I would probably have to pay for treatment and as I am currently in reciept of benefits I wouldn’t be able to afford. I am desperate to have my teeth straightened though as they have affected my confidence for most of my life. Please could you give me some advice?

My doctor has suggest two option to create my perfect smile, a brace or root canal surgery. Which is the better option?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi
I have been having consultations with a dentits. He was going to fit several crowns and veneers with a bridge to create a perfect smile. However he has said today after taking molds that one of my teeth is too crooked and that really I need braces onit. I cant afford this and it would take years. He said the only alternative was to do a root canal kill off the tooth and put a porcelain veneer on top, he said there were risks and it was un ethical, but as I still seemed interested he would do it for me. To me any type of purely cosmetric dentistry is invasive and could be seen as unethical. Do you think it is ok to carry on with this? inorder to achieve what I set out to do or is it too much of a risk? Many thanks
