Q. heya i am only young being 19 and hate my teeth and smile. i was offered braces when i was younger however i never wanted them i regret this decission now and would like advice on how i can achieve that celebrity smile? i really need your help.
A. Thanks for your questions. There are many teeth straightening products available, with some acheiving results in as little as six weeks and other which are virtually invisible. I would suggest that your first step should be to arrange a consultation appointment, either with an Orthodontist or a cosmetic dental practice which offer teeth straightening. There are many practices who will offer free initial consultations, to allow you to discover your options and the associated prices without any financial commitment. Many of these practices will also have the facility to ofer payment plans such as, interest free credit to help you spread the cost of the treatment. I hope that this will be of assistance bu turge you to contact you again should you require further information.
Many Thanks

Q. I have been receiving treatment to have an implant fitted to a missing tooth. Each time I see the dentist the cost goes up. Would it be possible to come to your practice for a check up and estimate of the cost? How much will the visit cost me?
A. Hi, I would be very happy to take a look for you. A detailed consultation and x-rays costs £90. This will include a written treatment plan with all the costs involved. These costs will not change once we decide what you need to be done so you will know exactly what to expect with regard to payment and the treatment required.
You can contact me on implant@advancedentalclinic.com or call 01245 268 494

Q. Hi, i am 22 years old and had a traditional train track brace when i was 11, since then my one front tooth has slightlymoved forwards and my cainine teeth have moved upwards to there natural position and want to get them corrected, i dont have a high budget but have seen that the ‘6month smile’ is cheaper than the invisalign‘ how much do these roughly cost?, will the first consultation be free and do you do packages that include whitening?
A. Thanks for your enquiry, there are many straightening treatments available today, from systems which take as little as six weeks to acheive results to those which are virtually invisible. The costs for treatments which vary between systems and practices. However I can tell you that I am currently offering the Inman aligner, with whitening for £999 (for a limited period), but typically our costs for straightening start from around £1500. Many practices do offer a free initial consultation and will also have the facility to offer interest free credit to help spread the payments. I hope this helps.

Q. i am 29 and have just registered with a dentist after waiting for a few years,im interested in having a brace fitted as im starting to feel very wary of my teeth when i smile,Can it be done on nhs or will i have to go private? And at what cost?
A. Thanks for your questions, NHS Orthodontics treatment to adults is not usually available, however an enquiry to your local Primary Care Trust should be able to confirm this for you. There are many teeth straightening systems available privately, with some treatments taking as little as six weeks to acheive results and others which are virtually invisible. The costs for these treatments will vary between systems and practices, but I can tell you that straightening treatments at my practices start from £999. Many practices now have the facility to offer payment plans, such as interest free credit to help you spread the costs. I hope this helps.

Q. ive got an appointment to have my teeth whitened,via lazer and then the trays i have alot of veneres,im aware they cant be whitened wont my teeth look odd with some bright white and others yellow as i smoke what can be done about the yellow teeth ? thankyou fort your time
A.
Thanks for your questions. As you are a smoker, the use of a stain removal system by your dentist or hygienist, may improve the appearance of your veneers. However, when my patients have had veneers in the past and now wish to have their teeth whitened, they have usually made the decision to replace the veneers to match the whitened shade of the teeth. You are correct in thinking that your natural teeth and the colour of your veneers may be quite different after the procedure. I hope this helps.

Q. Hello, I have a front tooth that is rotting, it has turned black and does not look nice, I know I need the dentist but I have not had any good experiences with the dentist hence why I’ve put it off for so long, I know I have to go sooner rather than later but I’m worried about what they will do with the tooth in question, will they take it out or can they repair it?
A.
You need the check up before you can get down to details. The good thing is that you dont have to have anything done at the first visit , just decide on some likely options.

Q. Hi, I had braces on my top teeth when I was 17. I’m now 30 and I’m very self conscious of my ‘goofy’ teeth. The braces did straighten my teeth but my top teeth have always stuck out over my bottom ones. When I close my back teeth I am able to slide my little finger between the gap. When I had braces they never addressed my crooked bottom teeth and so I never have elastic bands to help the alignment of my teeth/jaw. As an adult now I feel I was possibly mistreated. I’m incredibly self conscious of my smile and I find I’m beginning to hide my teeth and mouth when I speak and laugh. All of this infuriates my husband who insists its part of what makes me me but I hate it! Is there anything that could help?
A. Thanks for your questions, there are many teeth straightening systems available now, with some that can acheive results within six weeks. I would recommend that you attend an orthodontic or cosmetic dental practice for a consultation, at which they should be able to advise you of the systems which are avilable to suit your case, the approximate treatment time and the price. Many of these practices will offer a free inital consultation, so that you can obtain the necessary information without any financial commitment and often have interest free credit facility to help spread the cost. I hope this helps.

Q. i seem to have a habbit of pushing my front teeth with my tongue and then pushing them back again and now, i find myself doing it all day without realizing it and now i think one of my front teeth are shaky, it seems to move a bit more now, out of place when i push it and instead of stopping, i do it alot more now to see if it really is shaky or not. im terrified as im only 21. what can i do if they fall out? i also grind my back teeth in my sleep and during the day which is a new thing during the day. what are dental implants? are they screw ins? if my teeth come out could i get them on nhs? in the morning i feel as though if i just push my teeth theyl pop out so i try to avoid doing that 1st thing in the morning. im terrified on dental jags so cant go to dentist, i would go if i could get put to sleep tho, please help
A. Start by forcing yourself to visit 3 different practices that seem friendly to anxious patients. You can be adamant that you only want an opinion not treatment. ( check prices for assesment before you go )
One of them will feel better and more in tune with you. Then start with some simple treatment to boost your confidence.

Q. I am 59 years old. i have lost all of my back teeth due to gum disease. The last of the teeth were removed about two years ago. Since then, due to constantly chewing with my front teeth i am now having problems with them. I have tried a National health service denture but could not get used to it. What treatment would you recommend to replace my back teeth ? and to save my front teeth ?
A. Thanks for your questions, if you are unable to cope with a removable denture, I would suggest that you consider implants. These can be used to stabilise a denture or to support fixed teeth. I would recommend that you attend a consultation with an implant dentist, many of which offer free initial consultations, at which you would be able to discuss the process and make an informed choice based on the facts without any financial commitments. I hope this helps.

Q. At the age of 15 I had four teeth removed and was given a temporary brace to move my teeth, then a fixed brace on my lower teeth for 9 months and one on my top teeth for only 2 months. My teeth were never completely straight at the time I had the brace removed and I stated my worries to the orthodontist. He ignored my request to keep the braces on longer. When removing the braces he cut my gums severely and did not polish them afterwards. I was given a retainer to wear and was never invited to a check up. I have expressed my concerns to my NHS dentist as I have marks on my teeth from the braces and my top teeth sit slightly behind my two front teeth. I am 18 now and a student I would really like the perfect smile I thought I was getting. Is there any way I can be referred to get the treatment I should have got at the younger age? Thank you for your time.
A. You are limited as the NHS will not treat you for mior discrepencies

Q. Hi, is there any treatment for crowns ’slipping’ from the gums. This has happened to around 4 of my crowns (they have been there for around 5 years). You can see where they have slipped by the darker colour between the gum and the tooth. My dentist has told me the only solution is to replace them which will cost approx.£1800. is this right??? They are all front teeth (top). Many thanks.
A. hi many thanks for your email, this unfortunately is correct, generally when gum recession happens around crowns the only option is to remove the existing crowns and replace them with new ones. The cost for the crown work does seem reasonable if this is helpful.

Q. Hi I have two bottom teeth missing and currently where a plate, how much roughly would it cost to have these two teeth as implants
A. If a single implant can carry both teeth a guide price of £3-4000. If each miising tooth is replaced by an implant then £4-5000. ( Average Birmingham Prices)
If you would like a free initial consultation to determine the best option in your case call Amy on 0121 643 0610 for details.

Q. I was wondering i would be able to get vaneers or implants done on the nhs as my two front teeth at the bottom have formed a gap as all my bottom teeth used to be perfectly straight and no gaps until i became addicted to coca cola and i would like the replacements to look like my own instead of having dentures like old people have as i am only 30 years of age and as an adult would i be able to have a brace fitted to my top teeth on the nhs as i have got gaps between my teeth that i would like closed up.
A. Thanks for your questions, it may be possible to have veneers on the NHS if they are clinically necessary. However, if there is no clinical need for them, then it would be deemed as cosmetic, and therefore would not be available on the NHS. If this is the case, your dentist may be able to offer a bridge as an alternative to a denture. This would depend on the stability and health of the teeth on either side of the gap. In order to fit a bridge, you would have the teeth on either side of the gap prepared for crowns, and the laboratory would attach a false tooth to the two crowns. This three unit bridge would then be fitted. I hope this helps.

Q. I have a missing tooth needing a bridge. I have been advised that a CEREC replacement would be better than a normal bridge because the CEREC materials are chemically bonded to your neighbouring healthy teeth. This would enable my dentist to save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible. Is a CEREC bridge preferable as it allows the dentist to save more of your neighbouring healthy teeth?
A. I would not advise a Cerec bridge as the materials available at the moment are only plastic for bridges
