Why can daughter not get crowns on NHS until she is 18?

February 3rd, 2010
Q. My 17 year old daughter has been told she needs to have several crowns fitted, due to decay. However, her NHS dentist refuses to fit them until she is 18 or 19. Is there any reason they cannot be fitted now?,
A. It is normal to wait before placing crowns but a year might not make a difference. It might be worth asking him if he can bring the appointments forward.

What is the best tooth replacement long term option?

February 3rd, 2010
Q. Hi, I wonder if you could advise me please? I had a denture fitted 9yrs ago(upper front tooth) as I am absolutely terrified of the dentist and was offered this rather than root treatment. My dentist has now retired and I had an initial examination with a new dentist today. We discussed how unhappy I am with my discoloured teeth and as the dentist described: my patchwork fillings. He has recommended I opt for 4 crowns and a bridge to replace my denture. Or alternatively a dental implant and crowns. I am on quite a tight budget and want to get the best longterm value, however I would also like to be out of the dental chair asap as I am absolutely terrified! I would appreciate you opinion. Thanks,
A. The dental implant will probably cost more but might be your best long-term option. The time in the chair will be similar.

What to do as veneers are cracking?

February 3rd, 2010
Q. My son has empress veneers on eight of his teeth (top front) He had other veneers before this that were awful and bulky. These veneers are beautiful but now they are cracking. His dentist is telling him that his bottom teeth are not straight and rubbing the top. The veneers he had before never cracked, So we are so skeptical about this whole process now and of course wish we never did it. Can you offer any advice?,
A. HiMy advice would be to have a second opinion if you are unsure about the first. I am sure there is an appropriate way for them to be protected in the future.

What is the average cost of veneers or lumineers?

February 2nd, 2010
Q. Would like to have some advice regarding the cost of veneers or lumineers and whether you require a deposit. I have a wonky smile an overbite and badly stained teeth, my lower teeth are also crumbly and i make a lot of tartar which i try and keep under control with regular flossing, in other words i hate my teeth. I also have receeding gums over my fang teeth which is really worrying me so would be grateful if you could tell me if that could be corrected. I have always wanted lovely teeth but am very nervous as i know its a long procedure and am woried if i could take the pain plus have never thought i would be able to afford them. Many thanks for all your help I live in Bishops Stortford so you practise is not too far away from me.,
A. Hello Mandy, thanks for your message. I’m sure we will be able to help you using veneers to try to create the best result possible. The procedure shouldn’t be painful although you may have some sensitivity for a short while afterwards. We can also arrange finance for complex treatments such as these so you can spread the cost of treatment making it more affordable. If you would like to come in for a consultation please feel free to contact me or call the practice on 01245 268494

What qualifications are needed to become a dentist?

February 2nd, 2010
Q. HI, it would be brilliant if you would answer this question. I am currently studying my GCSE’s and have wanted to persue a career in dentistry for a very long time. I am determined to get there but I am confused about what A levels are needed to do this. I understand that A level chemistry and Biology is a must, but I have recently Chosen my Alevels and i’d Like to know whether a maths a level is really necessary? I have not chosen this as my alevel because I didn’t think I could achieve an a or b in it. At gcse I manage to get a C-B and Will try hard to get a B in my following exams. So I have chosen Chemistry, Biology English(language and litreture) and phycology for my A levels. is this suitable for a cource in dentistry. I am hoping to get 8A*’s a few A’s and one b in maths, so what do you think! Please get back as soon as possible because I am tryingmy best to become a sucsesful dentist!,
A. hi you need to check what the accepatance protocol is for each of the universities ,some will accept english or law etc.your school careers guidance should have a book which tells them what each university requires

Can canine be repositioned to fix tooth gap?

February 2nd, 2010
Q. Hi, I am 24 and serve in HM Forces. I had a brick throw at me whilst serving abroad and have two broken teeth, my left Central Incisor was chipped and Right Lateral Incisor badly broken with a “stump” remaining. To make a bad situation worse my right Canine was also pushed up. Ive had Cosmetic Bonding with some joy however they do come off! Do you think the pushed up Canine and be repositioned to effectively stop the gap in my teeth and therefore make a more stable platform for the stumpy Lateral Incisor beside it to have cosmetic bonding again. This issue is really getting me down! Kind Regards,
A. I guess it is possible to bring this tooth down perhaps with a brace. i’m not sure how much difference it make for the adjacent bonded tooth though. It might be worth thinking of an alternative such as a crown or maybe a veneer?

Should I stay with NHS dentist for crown treatment or go private?

February 2nd, 2010
Q. I am registered with an n.h.s. dentist who is practicing in a verymodern surgery. I am considering having my front crowns replaced (maybe 6) after about 20yrs. He has quoted me £400 each for Procera replacements which will obviously be private treatment. What I would like to ask is would I get better results if I went to a private dentist or is he just as qualified even though an n.h.s. dentist. Does being an n.h.s.dentist mean he’s not competent enough to be in private practice yet because I don’t want him practising on me. Thanks in anticipation of reply.,
A. hi the nhs limits treatment options so it can be likely that a dentist who predominantly practices on the nhs is less experienced with pro cera crowns.ultimately experiance counts for a lot whether he is nhs or private, just because a dentist works on the nhs it does not mean he is not capable it can be a career choice as dentists who want to be progressive with their patient care cannot do that on the nhs.

A. I’m not really sure what you mean and how the sore throat is relevant All I can say is that you won’t get a general anaesthetic at your dentist Perhaps you should ask your dentist how much the extraction might be under sedation instead?
