January 31st, 2008Q.
I’ve got a bridge which was done over four years ago. I’ve also got quite a few metal fillings which i find quite embarrasing at times. Can anything be done to replace these? For example, can they be replaced with white filling? Thanks

Can a dental bridge be placed in the back teeth by a regular non-cosmetic dentist ?
January 31st, 2008Q.
Dear Dr Kailesh Solanki, Is fitting a bridge, even for a gap in the upper row of one’s back teeth always a issue of cosmetic dentistry? Would that mean that my dentist who does not specialise in cosmetic dentistry would not be able to do the work safely?

Can you tell me what is better for my missing tooth… a Maryland Bridge or a Pontic Bridge?
January 31st, 2008Q.
Hello Dr Riten Patel, I was hoping you could shed some light with your expertise on the best treatment to replace my missing front tooth. I know you can have implants or dentures or bridges and I think I am going to go for the bridges because it is a cheaper option than the implant and I cannot afford an implant at the moment. My question is that some people talk about maryland bridges and pontic bridges what is the difference and what is the best one for me? Thanks for taking the time to read this in advance. Kind regards J

I had a dental bridge after an accident and I an not happy with the work can i do anything to correct my smile ?
January 31st, 2008Q.
Three and a half years ago I had a bridge fitted to my front 6 toop teeth. I haven’t been happy with the work but never dared complain about the work done as it was a reconstruction after a accident. The teeth are not straight and run upwards towards the right side. My tounge shows more than it should and I don’t smile in photo’s because I don’t like my smile. Could anything be done to correct my smile? L

Veneers, whitening and invisalign…for crooked stained teeth ?
January 31st, 2008Q.
Dear Dr Solanki, I have a few problems with my teeth that have bothered me for years, I am so embarrassed to smile as my teeth look so awful, I think about my teeth all the time there is not a minute that goes by in the day that I don’t think about them. My teeth are very brown and stained (I think because of excessive smoking and my love for Indian food! Have at least 3 curries a week) even though I brush them twice a day, I have tried whitening toothpastes but they don’t make any difference. My teeth are also crooked and my front teeth stick out a bit. I haven’t seen a dentist in the last 5 years (I know its bad!) and I have some savings to pay for my treatment, do you offer payment plans where I can spread the payments out, as I do not think I could afford paying for it in one lump sum, do you have any idea how much this treatment will cost.

Dear Dr Solanki, Hello I am interested in having my smile ‘madeover’ I currently have quite large, protuding front teeth.

My crowns and veneers have discoloured what can i do?
January 31st, 2008Q.
Hello dr kaliesh, In March of this year I had extensive cosmetic work to my teeth (17 teeth in all) including veneers. crowns and 1 bridge. I asked my dentist for a white Hollywood smile. Already the veneers are discolouring (particularly the lower ones) and there is becoming a difference in colour between the veneers and crowns. They were all the same colour when fitted. My dentist said this is due to the different materials used in the crowns and veneers. This was not explained to me at the time. My dentist says that people don”t look that closley anyway but surely that is not the point. This work cost me a substantial amount of money – what can I do. My Dentist is a great dentist but I am worried that maybe he was out of his depth with my substantial dental cosmetic makeover.
