My dentist is reluctant to suggest a treatment could you please help?

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hi, I have a quick question I hope you might be able to answer. One of my front teeth is slightly twisted and is particularly noticeable when you look at it from the side. It makes me self-conscious when I smile, although my other teeth are still in place and I would be happy to leave them where and how they are. I wore a fixed brace and then a removeable brace as a teenager and have recently had my top 2 wisdom teeth removed due to overcrowding (perhaps this may have caused the front tooth to twist?). I asked my dentist about possible treatments but he seemed reluctant to suggest anything as the tooth is healthy. I wouldn’t want to wear another fixed brace and ideally would want a quick, long term solution, preferably not too expensive. I was wondering what might be the best option? Thanks.

A.

Thanks for your question, probably the quickest method to improve the appearnace and position of a tooth would be to place a veneer on the tooth. The dentist may be able to prepare the tooth, so that a veneer would sit in line with your other teeth, however depending on how much preperation is involved, it may require root treatment of the tooth as well. The other alternative would be a straightening system. I know that you are reluctant to wear fixed braces again, but you may be interested in the Inman aligner, which can acheive results in as little as six weeks, and is also one of the most cost effective straightening systems. I hope this will help you mae a decsion.
I wish you well.

Need a reasonable and honest dentist

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hi, I have had problems with mt teeth for many years after being on stroids as a child. In April I had my entire top set of teeth taken out in preparation for implants, I lost confidence in my dentist after many issues. The final straw was when after quoting verbaly that it would cost in the region of £8-10k, he then after extractions quoted 15k!! I have no real idea of the correct price and am getting quotes. I live in Derby and would like to find someone I can trust/within a reasonable travelling distance and at an honest price. Can you advise/support? Thanks for your time.

A. Hi

I am more that happy to see you for a consultation. If you would like to book one, please contact reception on 01509 23 11 44.

Would you recommend Inman aligner for straightening my teeth?

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hello , i am 22 years old, i am in london for about 3 years and i am asylum seeker i dont work and i cant work but can you tell me how much is fees to straighten my upper front teeth for inman aligner treatment? and and if its affordable can i pay treatment fees in installments? and if not then can u tell me which is fast and easy way to straighten my teeth? and can u suggest any doctor who do inman aligners treatment in india? waiting for your reply . Thank you.

A. Thanks for your questions, the cost for the Inman aligner will vary between practices, but I am currently offering this service from £999. Many cosmetic dental practices do offer payment plans, but to the best of my knowledge, you (or your partner) would need to be in employment. The Inman aligner is one of the most cost effective and quickest treatments available to straighten teeth. I would suggest, that you research providers in India on the internet. Kind Regards.

What is the recommended tooth paste for tooth with temp cap?

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hello there, i have just come back from a visit to the dentist i have not gone for a number of years due to being so scared of what they would say and do!! I have come back with an apptionment in December for 2 fillings and to have a chipped toothe capped, he has put a temp cap on it, my main question is that i have slilt Gingivtis, thius has scares the living days out of me as i am only in my 20’s, he tld me to change my mouth wash, and get a soft Toothe Brush and it should get better, what toothe Paste would be the best for this??? And how long should this temp cap last for??? Many thanks

A. The temp cap should last till your next visit but be careful with it. If you have bleeding gums you could try corsodyl mouthwash for a week or so but it can stain the teeth. Ask the dentist if you can see his Hygieinist to give them a  good scale before your next visit.

My front teeth has become extremely sensitive

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hi, A few days ago while I was eating I suddenly bit down on a piece of bone with my front teeth. Since then the left front tooth has become extremely sensitive. I think it is cracked but not exactly sure as I can’t see any crack but can feel a slight uneveness at the tip. It is so painful that I find it difficult talking as the cold air makes it hurt. Any ideas as to how to stop this? Please help!

A. Thanks for your question, I would recommend that you attend your dental practice at your earliset convenience, so that they can assess the damage to the tooth. If it is just sensitivity, using toothpaste specifically designed for sensitivity can help.

Cost for reconstructing my teeth following periodontal disease

November 5th, 2009

Q. I am about to start looking for a dentist to do some reconstructive work on my teeth. I am about to lose many teeth due to genetic periodontitis. I am willing to have some existing teeth pulled if it makes the procedure easier – I do not hold out much hope for most of them. My preferred option would be bridges secured by implants, if possible. Can you advise me of the options I may have and the cost implications of same.

A. Hello, thanks for your message, it sounds like implants would be your best option is you still have enough bone for them. You would need an assessment and a ct scan of the jaws to decide the best treatment. As a rule you may need to budget around £1500-2000 per missing tooth if implants are used. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look for you my clinic number is 01245 268 494

I need to bring my front teeth forward as they are pushed back

November 5th, 2009

Q. Dear Mr Bohara, My top central incisors or the teeth shown when u smile closest to the nose. Have been pushed outwards to such a degree that, when i smile you cannot see many teeth and definitely not my top set of teeth. This is highly embarrassing for me, are there anyways i can push them back in??. I presume this was caused due to the fact that, i used to suck my thumb throughout my child hood. Causing my teeth to be pushed outwards. What can i use to push my teeth inwards? can i use removable retainers? rather than fixed braces??

A.

Hi

Your possible options may be
1. damon braces
2. invisalign

Of course you would require a full examination, to give you a definitive treatment option. I hope this helps.

Can my two inverted front teeth fixed by braces?

November 5th, 2009

Q. I’m thinking about getting a brace as my two front teeth are inverted, i beleive this was caused by my wisdom teeth putting pressure on them (I have since had all my wisdom teeth removed) I would like to know if a brace could fix them and make them straight, how much it will cost, and how long the procedure will take and what type of braces involved. If you can get back to me with the above information I will be very grateful.

A. I’m sure a brace will help to straighten the teeth. There are lots of different types of braces available including fixed or removable. If you would like me to give you an idea of your optins please feel free to contact me on 01245 268 494.

Invisalign treatment has not fixed my protruding front teeth

November 5th, 2009

Q. I recently have finished my treatment with invisalign with a clinic in harley street. Yet, me teeth are still protruding from the front.Although,the arch in my mouth is now aligned. I expected my front two teeth to be pushed in completely. I now have been told that I will have to have 4 teeth taken out and fixed braces for 18 months for them to be pushed in. Are there any other options which can be taken as this treatment is very long?

A. Hi

Unfortunately it is impossible to give options without looking at the mouth.  If you have concerns, then you may consider getting other opinions from other clinics. Sorry i cant help more than that.

Can you give more details on treatment cost?

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hi there. I noticed on your website that it says the cost of treatment can be between £1000 and £2500 per treatment – does that mean ‘Per trip for treatment’ or the treatment as a whole (ie: by set of aligners).

A.
I thnk from the details that you provide, you are loking into different teeth straightening methods, so I can tell you that £1000 – £2500 would be the price range for the different systems. That would be a full set of aligners in the case of Invisalign for example. I hope that helps.

Having same crown for a long time has caused dark tone

November 5th, 2009

Q. Hi I have had a crown in place for 15 years+. Think it must have metal in it as I now have a dark tone to the gum above the tooth. Can this be rsolved or is it a case of replacing the crown with another material? Thanks.

A. Unfortunatley you would normally need to replce the crown and bury the edge of the crown below the gum. You could also use an all ceramic crown to avoid this in the future.

Need a nice smile please suggest treatment

November 3rd, 2009

Q. I had root canal on my bottom front tooth which was a grey colour, i since had my teeth bleached and was told to inject the tooth after the bleaching procedure using the trays and bleach provided. This didnt work and the tooth looks terrible compared to my other teeth which are white. What do you suggest? I just want a nice smile.

A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider having the tooth veneered. A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain which is made to fit over the front surface of the tooth, and can be used to improve the colour, shape, size and overall aesthetic appearance of a tooth or teeth. The veneer would be made to match the whitened shade of your other teeth, to give a uniform look to your smile. I hope this helps.

What are the options for teeth straightening?

November 3rd, 2009

Q. Hi I have wonkey teeth and i was wondering would braces straighten them out without having major surgery? And can you get clear braces? Look forward to hearing from you Thank You

A. Thanks for your questions, braces are used to straighten misaligned teeth, but I would recommend that you visit a dental professional to find out for certain if this is suitable for your particular case. There are clear brace systems on the market now which can be used, such as Invisalign and Clearstep. I wish you well with your treatment.
