My Teeth Are In Bad Shape As I Have Bruxism, What Private Treatments Would Be Best?

Thursday, March 28th, 2013
Q.

Good evening,

I struggle with bruxism, and have severely worn down my teeth over the years, resulting in cracks, numerous fillings and lots of discolouration. This wasn’t helped by the phobia I had for around fifteen years (but which is now considerably reduced) meaning I didn’t go to a dentist unless I was in pain.

I still grind my teeth in my sleep, although I wear a rubber mouthguard at night as instructed by my last dentist.

I hide my teeth when I smile, because they are so worn, cracked and mis-shapen. I’ve always had NHS dentists, who have said there’s no point in capping or adding veneers to my teeth as I’ll break them so quickly. I’m inclined to agree!

Is there a treatment I could consider that might actually work? I’m more than happy to go private now. I’m 32 and would like to be able to smile openly for the first time.

Kind regards.

Q.

hello Doctor Kalpesh Bohara, I am getting married in 6 weeks! everything was going well and i’m very excited, but last week I chipped my front tooth and like half of it has gone, Its all jagged and feels horrible. Im assuming I will need some sort of cover over it, like a Veneer or something, Basically I want to know if I can get this sorted before the wedding and if there is an option of paying in kind of instalments, because I dont have a lot of money spare at the moment because of the wedding, Any advice you can give would be much appreciated, Thank you

I Have A Chipped Tooth And Want It Repaired. How Much Do You Think It Will Cost?

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr. Kalpesh Bohara, I have a chipped tooth (front tooth) and I wanted to have composite bonding. Please can you advise how much it would cost to repair a chipped tooth using this method. It is only chipped in one corner of the tooth. The tooth has been chipped for a long time but  and I did want it sorted when it happened however my teeth were crooked and I had to have braces put on. I have only just had my braces removed and was interested in getting my chipped tooth repairs years ago however my dentist had told me not to repair the chip now and advised me that I should get my teeth straightened first. And now my braces are off and my teeth are all straight. So the priority now is getting my chipped tooth repaired now and I shall have the smile I want. And advice you can offer will be helpful. I look forward to reading your response doctor. Thank you.

Would composite bonding work to cover the gaps in my front teeth?

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
Q.

For a few years now I have had some issues with the look of my teeth due to gaps in the front four. I’m a student so money is pretty hard to come by at the moment except from those lovely months where I get my student loan. I have been looking at veneers and also composite bonding. My main question is, would composite bonding be a reasonable solution to this problem until I can afford veneers and if so how much would this approximately cost for the first four teeth. The gaps are not too bad but it would just be nice to have teeth that line up nicely together and make my mouth look a little fuller.
Thank you

A.

What can I do about the thin enamel on my teeth?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
Q.

My front teeth are very thin as the enamel is wearing down due to my age ( 60 yrs) and the fact I eat lots of fruit.Before I run into real problems I was wondering if crowns on them would be the answer .I live in the Brighton area and hope that I could go to somewhere locally .Would that be the best solution or should I wait and see ?
The other slight problem with these teeth is that cosmetically I don’t think they look very good.I have always had my 6 monthly checks so have a healthy mouth and wish to keep it this way !

What can I do to hide the gaps in my teeth?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
Q.

I have gum disease and have developed gaps in between my front teeth as well – could I still have cosmetic dentistry to fill the gaps? I am 62 and have several fillings and one recent crown but I am embarrassed by my gappy smile which has only become a problem in the last few years. I am worried that veneers or suchlike will irritate my gums. I am also a bit of a wimp! The enamel on my teeth is quite thin though my teeth are not as sensitive as they used to be since using Proenamel toothpaste but I don’t want to have anything painful.

Can I have cosmetic dental work to cover my exposed roots?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have previously had gum disease. It’s better now as it has been treated, but my teeth are exposed at the root. Can any cosmetic dental work help improve the appearance of my teeth? My teeth are quite small too. I have looked at veneers, but I don’t think this would help me as the problem is at the root with the gum?

Also, are there any payment plans that could help me with the cost of this?

Thanks

How can I treat my oversized front teeth?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi
My two front teeth are longer than the two teeth on either side of them, this is made worse in that the two teeth either side are quite small. I think this makes me look like i’ve got squirrel teeth, how can i correct this? Can the front two teeth be filed down? What’s the best way to level them out? my own dentist said i should have 4 caps/veneers over all of them, but is this really the best treatment? Thank you!

What can I do to hide the gap in my teeth?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Andrew,

I have worn braces in the past (5years ago) because I had a gap in my front teeth which was quite bad. The braces closed the gap and I started wearing the plastic retainers. after a while, I lost the retainers through the post and took a while to get another. During this time, my teeth were moving back and since I got my retainers back, I have had this little gap that seem not to dissapear. I am not happy with my teeth at the moment and I wondered what treatment you could recommend for me. I do not want to have to wear braces anymore. The gap is not as big as an average tooth. its about 0.3cm.

thanks for you help, looking forward to hearing from you.

Is composite bonding a good alternative to brace treatment?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I have just come back from a consultation about having a brace and the orthodontist advised me that he didn’t think this would be the best option as I had 2 teeth removed as a teenager and the only way to create more space would be to remove more. Instead he has recommended that my teeth are re-shaped and that he will use composite (something like that but not porcelain) to make them appear aligned. I had always thought that a brace would be the best option, but does this sound like a good solution? Thanks
