Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can help me out. I have had gold teeth for the last 14 years and now I’m sick of them. It’s really affecting my confidence and has ruined my smile. Do you know if it’s possible to have them removed and have my teeth whitened after this? Are there any other complications which can arise out of this? Could you tell me how much this will set me back as I don’t have loads of money? A quick reply is all I need. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hello Andrew. Please help, I have terrible teeth due to my lack of self care and self respect for my self in my younger days (now 43 years old) lots of missing teeth some roots showing after teeth lost I don’t smile any more I avoid cameras I even try to avoid speaking due to total embarrassment. It makes me so depressed. I’m so desperate for help I work on a low income around 14k a year but don’t know where to turn next I need my smile and my self dignity returned.
Hello Mark. I’d really like to know if you can help me as I have an extremely small mouth. It is about 4.5-5cm wide when I relax it. This makes me extremely self-conscious all the time, and I really despise my face because of this. I cannot do a natural ‘toothy smile’ as it always looks way too forced, but even my closed mouth smile looks awfully small. Is there any kind of procedure or surgery that can be done to make my mouth bigger/wider, or anything I can wear or do? Thank you in advance.
Hi Dr Hughes. I have a really bad over bite and I’m in need of braces. Which ones would be best for a severe over bite? I had a jaw operation when I was 13. My teeth were really straight then and I needed veneers on my 2 front top teeth. That’s when my teeth started to move out again. I have not got a massive budget have you got any cost effective suggestions please as what I could do to make them look better, as I have little to no confidence. People always glare at me it’s so embarrassing. I would be very grateful for you advice.
Hi Dr Moore. I’m 19 and I really want perfect teeth but I have had problems in the past where my teeth have gone bad and I had to have fillings and now I’m paranoid about the way they look and it really upsets me. I would like to know the cost for permanent dentures all around my whole mouth and I don’t want to be able to move them I just really want a perfect set off teeth. Does the NHS pay for this or help towards payment? Thank you. I’d really like some advice.
Hello Dr Moore. I lost my teeth when I was 14 years old which has made me self-conscious all my life. I am 50 years old now and my bottom gum is very wobbly and find it hard to get dentures to fit. The last time I got new dentures they had no bottom groove in them and they lay flat on my gum so I don’t like to wear them. I went back and told them but not to my satisfaction. They lie in my drawer now but obviously because of my wobbly gum, the impression didn’t work. Is there anything that can be done to help me with this? Thank you for your time.
Hi there. I have just turned 27 years old. I used to wear braces when I was in school, the ones with the single mental line, which I could take out and put back in whenever I liked. Due to personal circumstances dental treatment stopped. As the years have gone by especially in the last few years I have noticed they are moving and are not straight. I have a job but I’m receiving working tax credit. I’ve always put dental treatment off due to costs. But now I really want braces as it’s effecting my self esteem. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about getting them at a reasonable price. Thank you.
Hi Dr Hughes. I am having terrible trouble with my gums receding. It started about 10 years ago but with dental treatment it stopped at a level I could cope with but in the last few months it has started up again and now I would say my gums have receded from every tooth and worse of all this morning my top two teeth now have a small gap between them. I am currently on anti-biotics. I have been reading up on gum graphs but is this possible for such a large area? This is badly affecting my life now as I am losing my self-confidence in public and I hate to smile. I hope you can advise me on what to do? Thank you for your time.
