What are prices for cosmetic bonding?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Q. Hello, I am interested in the option of cosmetic bonding as my teeth are slightly even and discoloured. I would like to know the kind of prices that this would involve (I understand this will vary from dentist to dentist so just a rough idea would be great) Thanks

A. Thanks for your question, you are right in that the prices will vary between practices, but you should expect to pay between £80 – £150 for this treatment.
Many Thanks

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. Hi, I’ve been reading about teeth bonding as a possible solution to acid erosion. My front teeth have signs of what appears to be accid erosion, although my dentist said there is no problem, but my two front teeth are translucent nearly half way up. Could you please recommend a cosmetic dentist in South Wales (Newport or Cardiff) for me to arrange an appointment to further discuss my problem? Thank you.

A. hi many thanks for your email, i unfortunately do not know any dentists personally from the area i can recommend but if you do a little research i will be happy to look at the dentist for you and give you my opinion on if the dentist will look after you on a cosmetic level.

How to protect the teeth if they have front teeth bonded?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Q. How do you protect your teeth if you have had the front teeth bonded? And what type of toothpaste should you use to keep your teeth from staining?

A. One way to protect your teeth would be to wear a night guard to protect them during your sleep.  Simple toothpasts form your local chemist/supermarket will do a good job to keep your teeth clean – you may want ot visit your hygienist as well!

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Q. If a child breaks a front tooth in half horizontally and you have the piece can it be reattached? What should be done with the broken tooth piece to preserve it and how long do you have to get it to the dentist?

A. I would keep it clean and safe and see your dentist as soon as possible as it can often be bonded back together.

How long will my thin teeth bonding last

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Q. My dentist just applied bonding to the back of my front teeth. They feel thinner and now I am worried they will break easily. Also, I worry as to how long the bonding will last. If the bonding wears off, what do you do then. I dont want caps. I dont know why he chose to do this procedure. My teeth are pretty and white. Maybe because I am 59 yrs old and perhaps he thought this would help preserve them. Is this a mistake of my life? Am I headed toward more espensive procedures?

A. This is difficult to answer as there can be many reasons for bonding teeth.  If you are concerned please contact your dentist to voice your concerns

Can I stop wearing retainers?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Q. Hi, i wore braces for 1 and half years, but my teeth still doesnt look that good. my dentist told me that i have to wear retainerd all the time when i go bed. Just wanted to know whether if there is any chance of me stop wearing the retainers anymore? or What can i do to not to wear them anymore?

A. If they don’t look right you might need to have more active treatment before the retention, you could even try a bonded retainer as it works better if you don’t want to keep wearing a removable one.

What would be the cost for cosmetic bonding?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Hi my front teeth are perfectly together, however there is a small gap at the outer edge of them between the next teeth. I was wondering how much (roughly) would cosmetic bonding cost to make them look perfect and also how long does it roughly take? ( how many sessions?) It is something that has bothered me for ages and it affects my confidence so I am hoping to get it fixed. Also i have moved to Uxbridge area of Middlesex, so are there any dentists that you know of who could recommend to carry out the procedure, although if required i wouldn’t mind travelling into London. kind regards

A. Bonding takes one visit to do following a consultation. It would cost anything up to anout £400 deoending on the size. I do not know of anyone in this area but im sure if you search for a dentist in that area in google you will find many.

Kind regards

I had bulimia Will the yellow marks disappear by teeth whitening?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Q. Hello I had bulimia in the past and my teeth are heavily damaged, the front teeth especially have lost enamel and left ugly yellow marks that brings down my confidence. I am considering teeth whitening. Would this make the yellow marks disappear? Thank you for your time

A. I have treated a number of bullimic patients and if all the enamel has been removed the teeth will not whiten,  better option is bonded fillings or porcelain veneers or crowns.

How long I need to wait to replace bonding after whitening?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Q. I have bonding, approx. 12 years old, on my two front teeth which are stained yellow. I am going to do an at-home whitening system. Do I need to wait 2 weeks after I’ve totally completed the whitening before I have the bonding replaced ? Thus, do I need to wait in order for my teeth to fully absorb & change color to the final “whiteness” in order to accurately match the bonding to the new white? Also, I’ve been told that I cannot do the ZOOM in office whitening because I have extremely sensitive teeth. Is this true as well?

A. Zoom is not advised for extremely sensitive teeth.
You should wait a week after finishing the whitneing before replacing the bonding to give them time to settle.

Kind regards

I have 19 teeth left and all are problematic what do i do?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Q. I have 19 teeth left in my mouth!! They are all giving me a lot of problems, and I wake up crying due to the teeth pain!! I do not want to spend 800.00-1000.00 on each tooth. I want them all pulled and I want full dentures. How do I go about doing this?? What steps do I have to take?? Please help me!!!!

A. get three opinions from different dentists, see where they agree and where they differ. Maybe you need stable dependable teeth without spending 800 per tooth and this is possible without extracting everything.

My mother has lost majority of her teeth what can i do?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Q. Hi, I would like to request a consultation for my Mother. She has over the last 8 months lost the majority of her teeth. After recently visiting a Dentist from the National Health Service in London, she has been told that she does not have sufficient bone to recomment implants. I was researching on the Internet where I say your advert regarding Sinus Lifting. I would like for you to speak with my Mother in regards to this procedure. I am a little confused about why we were not recommended anything like this from the Dentist she went to visit. I look forward to hearing from you.

A. Dear.  I am sorry to hear about your mothers predicament. There are number of ways to deal with the problem of lack of bone for implant dentistry.  In the upper jaw one way is to bone graft within the floor of the sinus.  Please contact my surgery to make an appointment for your mother.  I look forward to meeting both of you.

I have chipped my front teeth is it possible to have tooth bonding?

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Q. Hi there. I have recently chipped one of my front teeth. I do not wish to get it filed down as my other front tooth is a crown, and this would only make the crown look bigger! Is it possible to have tooth bonding on this front tooth? It is a small thin chip, and only noticable up close. If so does this need to be done privately or can it be carried out on the NHS? thank you for your time

A. hi if this is purely cosmetic which it sounds like it will be a private treatment . if it is a tiny sliver bonding does not always work but is worth a go if it bothers you

Is tooth bonding the best procedure for closing the gap between teeth?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Q. I have a gap between two of my front teeth and i was wondering what kind of treatment i could get in order to close the gap. I was researching about tooth bonding and just wanted to ask if you thought that would be the best thing to do in order to close the gap?

A. You would need an assesment to tell the best option for you. Bonding, Veneers & Orthodontics are all possibilities to explore.
The time taken , costs, and stability of the end result are points to consider.
We offer a free initial assesment to help point you in the right direction. Call Amy for details 0121 643 0610.
