Q. I have bone loss, non smoker all my life and no medical conditions. I am awaiting 3 top front teeth extrations (have been waiting 2 years), one hanging on by a small thread! hopefully I will be measured for a small plate. Taking daily pain relief and limited in what I can eat and very embarassing talking to patients myself as, I have a fractured tooth and it has dropped. Am I able to have implants if I have bone loss? was offered by dental hospital to have teeth splinted, but was told not a pretty sight, what do you think? Kind Regards
A. It sounds like implants might be the best option although you’ll need x-rays and an assessment to decide if you’ll a suitable candidate. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look.

Q. Doctor, my 26 year old daughter has a couple of wisdom teeth growing out crooked, but there is no problem yet, except slight soreness every few months. My questions are: 1) Would you advise these to be removed at the earliest, or to wait and see if they actually give more trouble? 2) Should all wisdom teeth be removed in any case, whether they give much trouble or not? Thank you for your help.
A. Hi
The current guidelines sugggest that they should only be removed if there are repeated episodes of infection.
I would advise to see a dentist every 6 months for regular check ups. This will also enable the dentist to keep an eye on the situation.

Q. I have very narrow teeth at the bottom and am 63 years old the gaps have become more pronounced over time I have been adviced to put veneers on bottom teeth is not easy is this the case.I have had them widened slightly built up and laser light at the tips they look a bit better is there any other option please
A. I guess if veneers aren’t possible then you might have to try a brace to close the spaces.

Q. Hi i have had root canal in one of my front teeth and it has become slightly grey,my dentist told me the only way to whiten it is to bleach it internally but theres no way i can afford it.is it possible to have a white filling in the front tooth instead and would this have a whitening effect?
A. The white filling would let the grey colour shine through so it doesn’t work too well

Q. I have one missing front tooth & currently a single tooth denture that I am not happy with. I have been told I can have a replacement tooth glued to the adjoining tooth instead. I am told this is a successful procedure although not often used. What do you think?
A. It might work in the short term but an implant might be a better long term solution

Q. Hi, I used to wear braces before but this was a while back now. After my braces were romved i was given retainers which i only wore for a few months… But i now feel as if my teeth have moved forward as they used to be before and i really hate it! Is there anyway i can get my teeth slightly back? Hope you can help me.
A. You might have to consider having the brcaes back on i’m afraid or maybe straighten then using porelain veneers

Q. Hi There, I have a tongue thrust, and it is causing my two front teeth to separate in an upside down V. This is concerning to me because I wore braces for 4 years (about 7 years ago) and did speech therapy to re-train my tongue. I have a night guard that I wear although not regularly because it is uncomfortable, despite that it is in rest that the pushing occurs. Would veneers be a viable option to correct this cosmetically, while continuing to wear a guard at night?
A. Yes veneers might help but you’ll need a new reatiner to stop them moving

Q. Hello there, Sorry to bother you but I have two quick questions if you could answer them please? I have previously had fixed braces (both) when I was younger, my bottom brace only stayed on for 4 weeks instead of 6 months as planned. I then had them both removed (after having top on for 1 1/5yrs prior to bottom) and wore the retainer 24 hrs a day for the year. I then went for the yearly check up point and my retainer was taken off of me. My teeth went wonky within months, and I have been too scared to go back. I get really upset about my teeth and suffered alot with braces to still have wonky teeth. I am 19 and in full time education and have swapped dentist now. My wisdom teeth have been coming through for a year and causing me grief, will they fit braces with the wisdom teeth growing through and are they likely to get funded by the NHS? Sorry its so long and hope its understandable for you to answer. Many thanks
A. Hi, thanks for you questions. I wouldn’t expect you to get braces on the NHS and you may need to have the wisdom teeth removed before you have any other orthodontic treatment.

Q. Hi After years of neglect ,all my top teeth have badly decayed ,and broken off . Im so embarrassed about this ,and hence cant face a dentist because of the shame that I let my teeth get into this state. Unfortunately I cant afford private ,so will have to go nhs , I would like to know what is available ,as I know I am probably going to have to have them all taken out and have dentures,but I have been told nhs wont cover this? Also ,what would you advise me to tell the dentist before my appointment ,as I want to let him know the state my mouth is in before he actually sees them ,im so depressed about this and really need some help .
A. You will be able to get denture treatment on the NHS. I would be worried about what the dentist might say, thats our job to fix peoples teeth and we are very used to seeing less than perfect mouths!

Q. Hi, I live in York I’m 17, and I had my teeth sorted about a couple of years ago. I’ve had treatment on my teeth since I was 8, and I still wear braces now. My teeth were perfect after I had traintracks, and I was given a clear bottom retainer (which I still wear). At the time I did wonder why I wasn’t given a top one as well. He replied that if I wear the bottom one, it will keep the top ones in place. It hasn’t. I have 1 reasonably out of place, and two others slightly. I know that it doesn’t sound like much, but from having my teeth perfect, and wearing my retainer like I should have, makes me rather annoyed in a sense. I’m almost 18, and I was wondering if I now had to pay for treatment, ie retainers etc? And also, I am still in full time education, due to me having to re-sit the whole two years of my A levels, as I have been very ill, and hospitalised occasionaly. I will finish my A levels when I am 19. So would still being in full time education mean that I can still have treatment on my teeth for free? Thank you for your time, and I do not mind if you cannot fully answer my question.
A. Thanks for your questions, I would recommend you return to your clinician to discover whether they would be willing to correct your problems, due to the lack of a retainer. If they will not I do not think that you would be able to receive further treatment free of charge on the NHS, as your malocclusion may now not be severe enough to fulfil the NHS criteria for treatment. If this is the case I would recommned that you attend and Orthodontist or cosmetic dentist to discuss possible treatment options. There are systems available provately which can work in as little as six weeks. I hope this will help.
Kind Regards

Q. Hi, Today at work one of my back teeth has cracked- it has a 10 year old filling inside. I’ve been advised it’ll probably need a crown. However I’m petrified of the dentist and have to be sedated when I go. How much will the work cost and if I took out private dental insurance, would it cover the work? I know it’ll be about £400 but that’s half my wages so won’t be able to afford it! Please advise in anyway possible. Many Thanks
A. Thanks for your questions, I am unsure as to whether taking out a dental insurance policy at this stage would help, as the need for treatment already exists? However, many detal practice are able to offer payment plans, such an interest free credit. I would suggest that you ask your dentist about the payment plans they have available, or alternatively reasearch dentists in your area who offer suitable schemes. I hope this helps.
Kind regards

Q. Hello DR Butt, I used to wear braces a long time ago. After my braces were taken off i was given retainers to wear for a few months. But now i feel as if my frount teeth are sticking out to much. Iv still got my retainers will they help push my frount teeth back if i start wearing them again? Or what else can i do? Hope you can help me because they really do annoy me! Regards
A. hi if your retainers still fit they may push them back.if they do not your teeth have moved as you probably did not wear the retainers for long enough or properly and you will probably have to go through some orthodontics again

Q. I have 2 front fang teeth at the front left and right my question is can they be removed and replace somehow
A. Thanks for your question, if it is the appearance of these teeth that you dislike, you may wish to consider veneers. This would not involve removing the teeth, but using a veneer would allow you to change the shape and aesthetic apperance of the tooth, to create a more uniform smile. Alternatively, if there are clinical reasons to warant loosing the teeth, you could have implants placed to fill the gaps. I hope this helps.

Q. Dr im 20yrs old n im under treatment from an orthodontist in pakistan since 1yr,i hav upper mildine shift about 1.5mm but it is almost corrected n the dentist says my treatment is almost complete,my upper maxillary right canine was impacted n it was extracted by an inexperienced dentist when i was a child-n that was the cause of the midline shift and lead to class 2 malocclusion on one side and class 3 maloclussion on the other,my problem is that although my midline is correct there is still a space where the canine should hav been i feel that my teeth r gona shift back once the treatment is off,i am being treated with cross elastics in which the 1st runs from my 26 to 33, the 2nd from 23 to 43 and the 3rd from 13 to 46,plz suggest what should be done in this case and whether this treatment would become useless after sometime?,and whether my dentist is doing the right job?as im in 3rd yr of dentistry myself n im very worried about my teeth.thanku
A.
why dont you consider a single wingcantilever maryland bridge to replace the canine and maintain the space or a dental implant once the space has been created by completion of the orthodontics.
you can know how much space is needed by measuring the canine width on the other side and asking the orthodontist to leave appropriate space

Q. i have seriously bad teeth i need help quickly i have not been to a dentist for 5 years because of cost i need a surgery where i can pay weekly or monthly
A.
I would recommend that you arrange a consultation appointment with a local dentist, many of whom can offer free initial visits. At this appointment, the dentist would be able to advise you of the treatment which you require, as well as the associated prices. Many practices do now have the facilities to offer monthly payment schemes, including interest free credit. However, if this is not available to you, at least you will be able to plan the appointments you need according to your finances, and just spread the treatment over a longer period. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks
