Interested in new revolutionary treatment?

January 25th, 2010
Q.  I have specialized in cosmetic dentistry for the past 25 years. My specialty is veneers and all porcelain crowns. I’d like to tell you about a business opportunity. There is a new revolutionary product that has started here in the States and will be available in Turkey very shortly. Because of it being a direct sales/networking company, being one of the first to bring it to your country positions you to make incredible residual income. The products are holographic chips when placed on the body helps with pain, energy or sleep. They are non-transdermal and safe to use without any adverse reactions like conventional products. This product has been in research and development for 5 years and tested with high-end athletes for 3 years. The dentists I work with have found this to be extremely complimentary to their practice. This allows the patients an alternative for pain control. We are having outstanding results with the energy chips with some children able to get off their medications for ADD. Our sleep product has enabled many people to rest without the need for sleep aids. This business opportunity far exceeds the benefits available to your patients. CieAura currently has over 20 additional products in research and development with three of those due for release at the company’s official launch in March 2010. You can get more information by visiting my website www.karenschooley.cieaura.com I would love to mail you samples of the products currently available.,
A. thanks I’ll look into it, my address is enquiry@advancedentalclinic.com

Are dental implants a possiblity if gum disease is sorted?

January 25th, 2010
Q. hi i have suffered with bone loss through gum disease since i was in my thirties. i am now 43 and the appearance of my teeth do bother me, although i have not yet lost any teeth.why can,t bone be grafted before losing the teeth ? what , if any reasons, would prevent me from having successful implants in the future, and could i begin with my dental implants before the teeth look any worse ? lastly, how many implants are needed to replace 20 teeth, and what would they cost , including bone grafting ? i am grateful for any advice as this problem is affecting me greatly yours gratefully sandy,
A. Broadly speaking you need to have your gum disease treated before you can have implants.  The treatment can be sequenced so that you always have teeth.  The cost varies greatly so I am unable to give you costs but the options vary from dentures attached to the implants to permanently fitted bridges

Can I have implants?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. Dear Dr Moore I am a 28 year old female and have become quite depressed at the state my teeth are in at such a yougish age. I have always looked after my teeth but always seemed to have fillings, root canals, nerves remove etc everytime i visitied the dentist. I had a fixed brace when i was young and had 4 permanent molars removed since then my remaining molars have taken a beatin and I have just now had 3 roots removed from another set of molars due to the tooth dying or a crown continuosly coming out resulting in a broken tooth. as it stands i now have only 21 teeth remaining!! my concern is will my dentist recommend implants? as im starting to wonder how on earth ill chew food! all my front top and bottom teeth are intact. I am a single mum doing my nursing degree so I have a NHS excemption certificate but can I still have implants fitted?? many thanks,
A. Hello, I’m sorry to hear of your problems. Unfortunatley dental implants are not available on the NHS. It might be possible to try bridges as these are sometimes available, ask your dentist for some options.

Can I have gap filled with bridge through NHS?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. Hi, I am 29 weeks pregnant and have had to have my upper 6th tooth removed today. I had the same on the other side removed a few years ago and this has really dented my confidence. I am currently seeing an NHS dentist for free treatment but am too shy to ask if I would qualify for a bridge at NHS prices as I can definitley not afford maximum price. Are you able to tell me if this could be a possibility please?,
A. Yes it is possible for you to have a bridge placed in this gap under the NHS. Kind regardsDr Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

Is 10 year old enough for veneers?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. Hi My 10 year old son fell and chipped the bite wings of his two front teeth and is very upset about it. They have been bonded on but one has moved up and sideways so we are waiting to see the orthodonist. He is mortified and wants his old teeth back. When he smiles you cannot see the bonding but when his mouth is half closed you can clearly see the line and bonding at the bottom is this normal. When will he be old enough for vineers or lumineers. Thank you.,
A. I would need to see your  son in order to tell you what i think is going on. He will need to wait until he is 18years old befor he can get Veneers done – this is because he is still growing.Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

Do you think there will be natural alternatives used in dentistry?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. Hello Dr. Moore, Considering all the advancements in dentistry/science around enamel regeration (http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/ChemScience/Volume/2009/10/Enamel_regeneration.asp) do you envision more natural alternatives which could be used to replace veneers and crowns in the future? Years ago I had a veneer placed on a front chipped tooth. I regret the decision, but at the time it provided an asthetic alternative to bonding which I was told would stain over time. Holding out hope of one day obtaining the physiological benefits of a more natural tooth structure. Thanks for your time and insight. Cheers.,
A. Enamel regeneration has been in the pipeline for many years now and could be around the corner or not available for many years from now. The good news is synthetic materials are improving all the time, so any treatment you have done to the veneer now, will be superior compared to the veneer you had placed a few years ago

Is dental work necessary for my daughter?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. I have a question about my 8 year old.She chipped a baby tooth (it is marked S on her chart). The dentist told us the tooth needed to be removed and that a lingual arch needed to be put in. Also, he told us to that that the tooth marked T on the chart had a cavity. He said that this tooth need to be filled and crowned. She has already lost several of her baby teeth. I don’t want to put her through uneeded dental work. Also, I don’t want to have lots of work done on teeth that are going to come out shortly. Can you give me any advice on this? Is the crown really needed? Is the lingual arch really needed? Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.,
A. Im afriad it is very difficult for me to give any feed back on this without seeing you daughters mouth. I would recommend getting a second opinion from another dentist if you do not feel this is the best treatment plan for her.Kind regardsDr Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

Can I get teeth whitened for big day next year?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. I am getting married next year abroad and would like to have my teeth whitened for the big day. How close to flying out would you recomend having the treatment done, and how much does the procedure cost? thankyou,
A. Thansk for your question, I would personally recommend that you commence treatment about a month prior to leaving. Although it would depend on the systems you choose, this would allow time for any home whitening you may wish to do in conjunction. The cost of whitening varies between practices and systems, thopugh I can tell you that our whitening treatments start from £250. May I take this opportunity to wish you well for your wedding.Kindest RegardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Can my teeth be whitened?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. I Doctor ,i was told by my mother that she was sick when i was in her womb and was given antibiotics she believes it what caused my stained teeth. i also have very sensitive teeth.do you think my teeth can get white without veneers or crowns. which system can achieve that.please help thanks,
A. It’s hard to tell when it comes to Tertacycline staining on teeth, which procedure will work and which won’t. I have seen bleaching that has worked for some, but some have not had good results - You would be taking a risk then if you were to do bleaching.Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

Can I have implants at my age?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. hello i wanted some advice on getting implants im 34 nyears o;d and my teeth are in a bad way half of them are now missing.this is due to a lot of fizz in childhood and unfortuntly also due to drug abuse althgough im now 5 years clean they cant be whitend and they are alway breaking of and cant be worked on..so im now thinking of getting a whole new set of implants as the way they are at the moment it knocking my confidence. i would be gratefull if you could get back to me about this my no is 07950821111/ 01275847079 or my email you have thanks very much,
A. Hi DarrenThanks for your message, Dental Implants are a fixed alternative to dentures, once teeth have been lost. Implants can be used to fix brdigework, or alternatively to secure dentures. In order to assess whether this is a treatment that would be suitable for you, I would recommend that you visit an Implant dentist, many of whom will offer you a free initial consultation, for an assesment and possible a CT scan which would provide more in depth information about the level of bone. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me again.Many ThanksDr Kailesh Solanki

Can braces fix my teeth?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. Hi, I am very self concious about my crooked teeth. I had a brace when I was about 17 (now 35) but my teeth have moved an awful lot since then (wisdom teeth came through) so feel I’m back to square one. The problem, when I was 17, was I had a ‘fang’ (as I called it) that grew sort of in front of another tooth at the front, it was quite high above the line of the rest of my teeth. The tooth at the back was extracted and the fang was brought down with the brace. Now it looks horrible again, it sits further forward than the rest of my teeth and also I feel the gum has receeded slightly (its sensitive if anything sweet gets around the top of the tooth). I’m worried it will need extracting?? I’m so sorry to ramble on, I would love to get my teeth straightened again because I’ve been so unhappy for years. I really hope your able to reassure me. Many Thanks.,
A. hi its quite common to have orthodontic relapse such as yours.yes you will need another course of orthodontics but there are systems such as 6 month smiles that do this quickly.the sensitivity is likely something minor .you are welcome to a consult at any of our clinicsS3Dental.co.uk

How do I go about being treated at a dental school?

January 22nd, 2010
Q. Hello Dr Glaister. I would like to ask about something you said in another of your answers. A woman asked about implants and you said “Given the situation it may be worth contacting your local dental hospital as your treatment may well be able to be carried out as part of their teaching programme” Do all dental hospitals offer this kind of treatment in a teaching scenario? If not how would I go about finding a hospital that would consider me for treatment ubder their teaching program, and who would I contact there (which official would deal with such requests) ?,
A. You would have to have a referral from your NHS dentist, however you should be aware that these teaching places are rare and there may well be a lengthy waiting list.Kind regardsDr Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com
