Q.
I have a real fear of the dentist and have just went through a year of dental work to to get 7 front upper crowns (had to go private). When it came to choosing the colour, my dentist showed me A2 which I thought was a bit yellow so we compromised on the main front 4 to be A1 and the others A2 (I thought this would be ok as I have a small mouth and am a smoker, I also bleaced my bottom teeth before they were fitted and they looked like A1 shade). When I went to get them fitted he informed me the technician had done them all A2 but he thought they would be more natural for me. This was last week and people are telling me they lovely (and they are) but now I am tortured over the colour and wish I had have said at the time, I just dont know whether to accept that they are more natural or go back and complain about the front 4? Everytime I look in the magazines at all the lovely white teeth, mine look so yellow yet the odd time I look at them in different lights they look ok. Sorry to drone on but I feel so anxious over the huge cost and just need some advice? Many many thanks.

Q.
Should implants last for life, are they easy to take care of and would all dentists do a good job. I have been given an estimate by a Dr Reza Ardalan, Lodge Causeway, Bristol on what he advises, I am just wondering whether to see anybody else.

Q.
I have a photo of a person who’s teeth I think are perfect. Given this photo, would a cosmetic dentist be able to recreate that look in my teeth? I regularly attend the local (Bridgwater, Somerset) dentist, but don’t think that he would be appropriate so I would have to find one from the list of Bristol based dentists on this site.

Q.
Please could you send me a list of dentists in Bristol that do gum grafting or what else can be done to help with 2 loose teeth due to gum loss?
