Q. Hi, I am 36 yrs old and have never been able to smile properly since I was 5! because of very discoloured teeth.The reason behind this was due to a reaction to penicillin which the GP gave me when I was 5 yrs old. I have always dreamed of a nice smile. Spoke to my dentist a number of times when I was younger and basically he said there was nothing he could and white teeth would not match my complexion??? I just gave up hope. Since the popularity of cosmetic dentistry I have enquired into getting some form of treatment but the prices are way too high. I am a single parent of 3 with a little part time job – wot are the options available to me?,
A. Tooth whitening with custom fitted home trays might be the bets initial treatment as this is a cost effective way of improving the front teeth for a relatively small outlay of around £300-400. Obviously this is subject to you being a suitable candidate.

Q. hi, my 2nd molar top right has given me pain and swelling on/off for past 10years approx, I have had x3 lots of
root canal treatment (2 from same dentist week apart as I was still in alot of pain)…anyway there is black shadowing around root and I have been advised to have
root canal again or have it removed…if I want an implant in say 5-8 years time….can i just have tooth removed normally/pulled etc or do I need to get it removed in a special way to preserve bone to put the future implant into….I am really unsure, could you advise me and giver me your costs…many thanks in advance
,
A. I would get a 2nd opinion from a soecialist Endodontist to see whether the tooth can be saved before consdiering a dental implant. If you are advised to have the tooth removed, then really you need to have the implant placed as soon as possible after the
extraction, this is because as soon as the tooth is removed you start to loose bone from the site. Please feelfree to arrange a consultation with Dr I Sugden our specialist Endodontist.

Q. Does
teeth whitening work on a bridge or a crown that may be a part of your main set of teeth?. If not, I imagine that you would get a very patchy end result.,
A. Unfortunaetly not, crowns and bridges will not change colour with
tooth whitening so you would have to consider changing them once the
tooth whitening is completed.

Q. I have a misplaced line on my top teeth and my right 3 rd tooth (canine) was removed when i was 15 years old so my smile is not symetrical, i dont want to have braces as im not confident enough. I have considered having veener work done on 4 of my front teeth to create a symetrical smile. Honestly im scared and really want some good advice on whether this could be a good option for me. I need to find somthing that will not destroy my confidence any longer. I’m 28 years old now and i think veneers could be a calm option for me.,
A. I am happy to take a look. We do offer clear invisable braces this may be a good option for you. You could always choose the quicker route by having veneers or crowns I would have to take a look first to advise accurately. Please feel free to conatct the clinicfor a free consultation.

Q. I am 39 and 6 years ago I was told I had
gum disease & 1mm of horizontal bone loss. since then I have followed a strict oral hygiene regime and thankfully my problem is very much under control. The problem is I have been left with receding gums and I am absolutely at my wits end! I have no confidence & certainly don’t feel like smiling. I thought of veneers to maybe close up the gaps? but having read your web page, has there been recent success with the graft? Please help,
A. You need to see a specialist Periodontist he specialises in gum grafts for receeding teeth, there are a few different treatment options but this is best discussed with the specialist once you have had a consultaton. Please conatct the clinic to arrange a free consultation with Dr M Howdle our specialist Periodontist.

Q. Hi Dr Solanki I’ve actually been to see you before and really loved how comfortable I was made to feel as I’ve always been frightened of the dentist ever since I was little. When I was a child I was registered with a not very good dentist who tried and tried to fill one of my front teeth, spread filling stuff all over the tooth next to it, and eventually ended up putting on a very bad and bulky veneer. I’m almost 30 now, and I want my front teeth sorting out… I hate having my photo taken, as when I smile, I feel like the veneer sticks out and is magnified by the fact that the filling is still all over the tooth next to it and is quite discoloured… Also my two very front teeth overlap slightly, and one of them has a tiny chip in it, but it all adds to the downfall of my smile! What would you recommend? I know it’s going to be expensive, and wondered what kind of finance options you offer? Like most people, I don’t have much money going spare, but feel it would be worth it to regain confidence in my smile. Thanks,
A. We offer payment options where you can spread the cost up to 5 years. Please feel free to contact the clinic again so i can reassess your teeth and give you a treatment plan and full breakdown of cost. Thank you for your enquiry.

Q. I had
root canal treatment over 10 years ago and discovered quite sometime later, when I had an abcess, that I had a broken file in my tooth canal. I was advised to have an apecectomy but decided not to have this done whilst I was experiencing no pain. I recently had a slight tingling sensation and was worried that this was going to get worse so went to my dentist, he took an x ray and said I had a cyst at the end of the broken file and has now suggested that I see a specialist and have it removed but after reading lots of information about this procedure and that it is not always successful I am worried, if I am not experiencing any further pain or discomfort am I better off not having this treatment carried out. I am due to go away to Australia within the next couple of months and would like your advice as to whether I need this done and if so would it do any harm to leave it until after my trip. I am at present awaiting an appointment for a referral from my present dentist. many thanks,,
A. I think you should see the specialist, they should be able to tell from your x-rays whether it can wait or whether you need it sorting out ASAP

Q. Hi. I have for fifteen years had a very noticable upside down V shaped split in my gum on my front top tooth. It came about following an absess which managed to split my gum and caused the gum yo recede. What’s visible is my tooth and what I assume to be part of the root. I’ve always been conscious of the problem and one or two dentists have mentioned referring me to a specialist but I’ve never taken them up. My front teeth now show signs of wear and the other front tooth has blackened following treatment of another absess. I’m thinking about veneers but am conscious that I would also like the gum repaired somehow. Is this possible (the gap at its widest is about 5mm and its about 7mm long).,
A. Sorry I would need to see you for a consultation to advise you.I would recomend you see a gum specialist (Periodontist) Please feel free to arrange a consultation with Dr Mark Howdle our Periodontist.

Q. Hello, Is it wise to get veneers? I am with a private dentist and really want them done as I am only 21 and have awful teeth with a big noticable gap between my two front teeth. I have got to the point where I dont like to smile in public. My dentist tells me I should have the procedure done at such a young age. Would I be able to get it done under the NHS as i feel its causing me psychological trauma?,
A. The NHS will not cover cosmetic treatment

Q. I used to brush my front teeth hard and over the years the enamel has worn. Can the enamel be restored?,
A. Depending how much wear on your teeth you have depends on the treatment. You could have the teeth restored with composite fillings or porcelain veneers. I would recomend a consultation with your dentist.

Q. I have a front loose tooth that I think is ready for falling out (my dentist said today he cannot save it) I asked him about implants and he said he will not do it because I smoke. i asked him if I went to a cosmetic dentist and paid privately would they do it I was told no because I smoke. I am prepared to give up smoking with help from my Gp but he still said no-one will do it for me.,
A. Smoking is not an absolute contraindication for implant placement but can seriously compromise the success of the treatment. The issue may be that you have periodontal disease and that because of this you have lost too much bone in the implant site

Q. I most appreciate your advice. I am 28 yrs. old and yesterday, was told by a facial surgeon that I have two large cysts above my front teeth, over 4 in total. I have already had one cyst removed above one side last year and now considering implants so this will not occur again. My 2 front teeth, in any case are crowns. The doctor recommended I try to “save my teeth” and just have a similar operation as before and in the possible event that it does reoccurs, get implants. What are your thoughts please? I have had all the scans and the cysts are very noticeable on view of the scan. If I were to have the implants, how long would this take to heal and could they be put in at the same time as the extractions are done? Many thanks for your help.,
A. If the bone loss is severe you will need to wait for 6 months with a temporary replacement while the bone heals completely. If the bone loss is moderate then immediate implants might work. I’d need to see your scan to give you a proper assessment though
