Q. i have a partial denture on my lower jaw that i can not wear as i dont like the peice that goes behind my teeth and down under my tongue. is the the only way to solve this having implant retained denture as have been told that they dont have a large back piece or is there any other way round it ie would teeth made of different material be better thanks in advance,
A. An implant retained bridge or bridges may be your best solution as this may give you fixed teeth without the need of a bar at the back of the lower front teeth

Q. Hi sir, i am 19 years old and as a young woman my appearance is vital to me. When i was 6 years old i fell down a flight of stairs and had to undergo surgery to place my dental structure back into place however through the years i have experienced several problems because of this. They have become displaced and are not straight . the enamel has worn off the bottom front row and have discouloured generously my gums are very weak the slightest touch and they bleed wich then makes it hard and uncomfortable brushing my teeth so i have dificulty batteling plack. My mouth is in constant pain and it is getting to the point where i cannot cope any more . is there any help i can get out there to make me smile again?,
A. The first thing you need to do is get your gums under controll, you will need to see a dental hygienist before starting any other treatment. You need to see a dentist for a consultation asap.

Q. Hi, recently I visited my dentist and he informed me I have a class 3 bite (My lower jaw sticks out), He said it’s advisable that I undergo surgery, I also suffer from Diastema, I was wondering if once I do undergo surgery will I also be given braces for the diastema aswell?,
A. Once the surgery has been performed the braces are usually fitted. I would speak to your surgeon who is performing the surgery for more accurate advise.

Q. I have previously (about a year ago) had microabraision on my two front teeth which have fluorosis (white stains). It reduced the appearance of one tooth but not the other. The dentist stopped the process as my teeth were getting too sensitive. I wanted to ask whether its worth trying again. I have spoken to a couple of dentists and both have given conflicting advice – one says it may work again and the other said if it didnt work on one tooth it means the stain is too deep in the enamel. The white stain looks brighter some days especially after i have brushed my teeth. I would appreciate your honest opinion,
A. I would agree with the dentist who says the defect is too deep although I cannot be 100% sure without seeing you.

Q. I have 6 veneers on my front top teeth. I had them placed over 20 years ago and have never had any problems. Last year one fell of and was successfully replaced. About a month later one of my large front ones fell off and has been replaced 3 times. Two others came off after that and they seem to have been successfully replaced. My question is can the porcelain from the one which keeps falling off be contaminated in some way or is it more likely to be either the bonding or the process which is at fault?,
A. Its very difficult to rebond a veneer especially one thats been on for a long time, you may have to consider replacing them, 20 years is excellent for crowns and veneers

Q. Hi, I’ve had 12 teeth in my top set all crowned on 2 occasions. 1st time they were great, but I wanted a whiter colour. 2nd time they came out grey looking, and I’m not keen on the shape of some of them. I would like flat white (not translucent) , even teeth. I know they look false, but it’s what I want. Can this be done with CEREC? How long do CEREC crowns last for? Can I get the whole lot done in a short time? Thanks,
A. This can certainly be done and is ideal for Cerec. The treatment could be cone in 1 visit once an assessment has been carried out. Cerec crowns have been shown to last at least as long as Laboratory made crowns. In fact I am returning from giving a lecture on just this subject in Las vegas. Please contact my practice for an appointment and we’ll get your smile to just how you want it.

Q. Hello, I’m just wondering can veneers make your teeth appear bigger? I have very small teeth which make me look like I have no smile and if veneers aren’t for me then what is?,
A. I would advise a consultation with a cosmetic dentist, Veneers may not be the best option for you, you may have to have crowns to make the teeth look bigger. I am happy to see you for a consultation please contact the clinic.

Q. Hello, Could you possibly advise me as to how I can train to become a cosmetic dentist. Could I train as a hygienist and then study to specialise in cosmetic dentistry? Many Thanks
,
A. Yes you can start as a hygienist but you’ll still need a dental degree, you might be best to apply for dentistry direct after getting your a-levels

Q. Hi, I have a filling in the back of my front tooth that has come loose and has started to rock. My dentist has used a sealant, but it doesn’t last more than a day. He said if the seal doesn’t last ill just have to live with it as getting a crown isn’t an alternative as it will never match my current teeth, which i agree with. My is their another option? Re-filling, bonding or something else? Thanks,
A. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to have another filling put in the tooth. Regarding the crown it is sometimetimes difficuilt for detist to match 1 crown only. If you see a cosmetic dentist this shouldn’t be an issue as there are differant types of crowns we can offer and also we use ceramist of very high standards and experiance. Please feel free to contact the clinic for a consultation.

Q. hi . iam 30 years old due totally to my own bad oral hygiene and drinking fizzy pop my teeth have started to fall apart ,rot away. i dont have hardly any money but could afford a payment plan if availble i would like to regain my smile and restore my confidence again. and i no longer drink fizzy pop and i brush twice daily but the damage as been done what can be done to give me my smile back? do dental hospitals fix teeth?,
A. Dental hospitals do fix teeth and often for free. Often you need a referral in to the system from a standard dental practice. If no hospital is available the first step would be to rebuild the missing teeth with resin fillings and sort out the cleaning / gums. Good Luck Rob
