I have crooked front teeth, gums which bleed and scared of dentist. I’d love to get them fixed

Q. Hi i am 36 years of age and i detest my teeth. Some are rotting i have sore / bleeding gums when i brush. Front teeth some are crooked and discoloured. I am scared of dentists since i was a kid and i suffer a lot from bad breath. What can i do ? I’d love to get them fixed and have a smile that my partner would love and boost my self confidence. What are the costs etc. I am living i ireland but willing to travel to fix my teeth.

” salvage ” dentistry is not easy to give even a ball park figure. The cheapest option will often be extraction of hopeless teeth , replace missing teeth with a denture and fillings if the holes are smaller cost might be under £1000 At the other end we use crowns, bridges veneers, orthodontics and dental implants costs might be over £20,000. In the middle lots of other options.
One approach might be a simple start to build your confidence in your dentist then do some more advanced work later.
We would love to see you if you can’t find a dentist locally. In the first instance I would recommend a huge leap of courage and visit a couple of your local dentists and see if you feel comfortable with them.

Questions to think about before you go

Do you mind dentures
Can you wear dentures for a while ( during a longer treatment )
What is the budget
Should you do it on Finance
Do you need sedating ( tablets of valium or similar injection )
