I need a full smile makeover, and I wondered if you had any information concerning price and the general procedures involved?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Hi. I’ve had trouble with my teeth from a young age. A combination of factors has lead to this. Not brushing regularly as a child, eating too much sugary foods and a terrible fear of the dentist. I’ve had several back teeth taken out and now have metal fillings in most of the remaining teeth. Ideally I would like a complete smile makeover including veneers, White fillings and whitening procedure. I would like to know how best to go about getting this work done. I believe I need 9 White filling replacements 8 veneers. I live in northern Ireland and would like to know 1. How a dentist would go about this work and 2. A rough guide as to how much it would cost. Thanks,
A. You need to find a good dentist to do this for you, the cost will vary depending on the number of crowns and fillings you need so your dentist should be able to give you a full quotation. I can recommend Belmore dental studio in Enniskillin if that helps

My teeth are very, very stained and I would like to be able to smile again. Can you help?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. hi i am just asking for advice about my teeth, i havent looked after them and i am really embarrased by them as some have broken off and they are very very stained, like green, yellowy and one tooth inparticular is nearly blue, i find i cant hardly go out anymore and also i do not want a job because of this, what would be the best way round this for me, i would like to smile without keeping my nasty gnashers hidden,
A. I am happy to take a look it is difficult to advise without a consultation. A visit to the hygienist would be a good start as she can maybe remove some of the staining we can then assess the rest of your teeth. Please feel free to contact the clinic.

I have been left with temporary fittings after a finance problem. I was thinking about finishing the work abroad, but I’d appreciate your advice?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Hello, i’m looking for some advice. Over a year ago i was given treatment to my six front teeth which after an accident left me with a tooth missing and the rest badly damaged. I was treat privately and given temporary crowns and some bridge work was carried out. Unfortunately the finance for the treatment didnt go through and so the dentist could not finish the work. I’ve been left with a temporary fitting and have been told the NHS cant fund the rest of the treatment because its classed as cosmetic dentistry. Unfortunately i’ve recently become unemployed and cant afford for the rest of the work to be carried out privately. I’ve been researching having the work done abroad at a lower cost but am unsure where to look. I’m not sure if i’m asking the right person but any advice would be much appreciated. I’m unsure how long the temporary crowns will last and worry because they bleed alot when brushing. I have a breakdown of the work that was to be carried out but i need to speak to someone who can tell me exactly what it could cost. Kind Regards.,
A. Although travelling abroad to have treatment can work out a bit cheaper if you have problems it can be difficult to get things easily sorted. The chances are the treatment will be quite expensive as there will be extensive lab costs, however it might be worth searching the web for a deal on dentistry, perhaps in Hungary?

What are the alternatives for a one tooth denture?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I have just had my front tooth removed and a partial denture put in but am finding it extremely difficult to adjust to the denture and is causing me to gag and i’m finding to difficult to eat. Do i have any other alternative than the one tooth denture as is embarrassing in my social life as well and what would be the cost of any alternative as i,m on benefits. Would very much appreciate your opinion Thank you,
A. Hello, Yes there are alternatives however dome of them may not be available on the nhs. For instance the best solution is often a single tooth implant. You can expect to pay around £2000 for this treatment. You could also ask your dentist if he can provide bridgework on the nhs as this could be an option as well

I am having trouble with one of my new implants. Can I have it replaced?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I have had 2 implants done, one on each side of my mouth. One looks fantastic and fits perfectly but the other looks false and does not fit into my gum like the otherside (i was told the reason is the gap was too small). Is it possible to have it removed and a new tooth fitted to the already existing implant?,
A. It would depend on the position of the implant. The gap shouldn’t really effect the crown. Go back to your dentist and take it up with him, he could try a new crown.

I’m have a large fear of going to the dentist, but my teeth need sorting out. Is there anything that can help?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I really don’t know how I can make the first step in getting my teeth sorted out. I’ve not been to a dentist for about 12 years and some of the front ones have areas of brown on them although none seem actually loose. They look so unsightly and I’m so ashamed of them as no one I know of my age (early 40s) has teeth that look like mine. What is the easiest first step I could make that would enable me to actually be able to set foot over the threshold of a dental surgery and overcome the fear I have of a first appointment? And secondly in very broad terms if someone hasn’t been to a clinic for so many years – how many appointments would I be likely to need to put things right. Thank you: even writing this email has been a huge step for me.,
A. I’m not sure what I can do to help you make an appointment however you should ask tour friends for a recommendation so that you will feel the dentist your going to is someone you trust. Perhaps they could even go with you on your first visit?

Can I have implants placed on my remaining healthy roots?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Hi, I have two molars missing on the left side of my mouth, one on the top and one on the bottom. The roots are still there and according to my dentist still healthy. He has said do I want the roots removed? They are not causing me any problems, but I was wondering can a titanium implant be put into my roots. My two front teeth, I lost when I was 11 from a bad fall and I now have false teeth on posts into my roots, which are very healthy. Can an implant be put into my other two teeth onto the roots?,
A. If the roots are removed it is possible to place dental implants to replace the roots and act as foundations for new crowns

How much swelling will I encounter after the surgery?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I have just found out that i will be having this surgery , and i was just wondering how bad the swelling will be after the surgery ?,
A. Depends on what surgery your having done, Usually the worst case is some bruising and swelling for a few days afterwards. You can use an anti inflammortary painkiller to help reduce this. Your dentist will usually provide these after the surgery has been carried out.

My teeth are getting sensitive to the cold since having porcelain veneers, what could be wrong?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I had porcelain veneers since 05, In just the past few days I am getting sensetive to cold behind my eye tooth and canine tooth on the right side. It comes and goes. What could be wrong? I used, for the first time a sensetive toothpaste and that seemed to help.,
A. The veneer could be starting to debond and that is why it is becoming sensitive alternativly the nerve could be starting to die of. You should get your dentist to take a look and take an x-ray just to rule out any infection in the tooth.

How long after using the whitening treatment should I avoid ingesting food/drink with staining potential?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I am currently undertaking home whitening with bleach supplied by the denist in tailor made dental trays. 1 hour a day. How long after treatment should I avoid ingesting food/drink with staining potential. Any further during and aftercare advice would be greatly appreciated. I have post operative hypthyroidism and hypoparathyroidisim for which I am on total replacement thyroxin and Sandocal (effervescent calcium) and one alpha to maintain my calcium levels. I am an ex nurse and just thought I’d run this by you though I don’t think my condition would have an adverse or corrosive effect when teeth whitening as I can’t maintain serum calcium levels due to no parathyroid hormone. So can’t extract calcium from bone when needed have to absorp for GI tract to maintain levels. Love my teeth and as just enhancing them as hit 40 want to be sure I am not damaging them. Any advice appreciated. Know I am rare but thought I’d just ask incase you’d encountered anyone like me (a consequence of surgical error). Thanks,
A. I doubt gentle bleaching of this type would be affected by your condition although its best to check with either your dentist or hospital consultant. As for eating I would wait about an hour after the trays are removed and stick to non staining foods such as red wine coffee and tea for as long as possible.

The cost is approximately £13000.00 Please feel free to contact the clinic for a consultation.
