Hi Mark, I am 17 years old and I am really unhappy with the way my teeth look and therefore I am currently trying to decide what will be the best procedure for me to get in order to correct my smile. I am thinking of getting porcelain veneers but I am very worried about where to get them done and how to go about the whole procedure. Could you recommend any places and let me know whether you think this procedure will be best for me? Thank you.
Hi Dr Hughes. I need some advice. I suffered with bulimia for many years and as a result this has affected my teeth hugely. I have lost many of my back teeth as a result and the rest are very weak. I also have a large gap in the front of my two teeth which has been a huge dent in my confidence. I am now in a place where I want to get this sorted and I’m aware of the cost of impacts etc. My worry is I have not seen a dentist for years due to shame and embarrassment of my bulimia. Is this something you have ever had experience with? Thanks.
Hi Dr Patel.
I have a slight overbite and would like to get this fixed. I have looked around how to get this done when I bumped into your website.
My question is: how much this will cost and if there is any possibility to get this covered by any insurance?
I noticed this problem when I started to get older but didn’t know if there was a procedure to get this fixed, but since I am an student who is not employed this is going to be difficult to fund on my own.
This procedure would give me self-esteem since as I am very conscious about my overbite problem.
Looking forward for your reply.
Sincerely.
Hi there. I used to have such lovely teeth but over time I didn’t go to see the dentist as much as I should have and now my bottom two front teeth have lost a lot of the gum in the middle and it has caused them to grow apart. Now I have a 7mm gap between. As you can imagine this is very embarrassing and has affected my confidence. Also I do not work at the minute due to depression and anxiety and so my NHS dentist says they can’t do anything for me to help the teeth look better. I feel self-conscious when I talk or smile. I was wondering what treatment I would need if I saved and paid for the work I needed and what help there is, if any, to maybe help me pay for the treatment I need. I was also wondering if you think braces would be of any help to me at all? I’d appreciate any advice you could give me.
Thank you.
Hello Dr Moore. I am really miserable over my gummy smile. They come to far down and I can’t enjoy any kind of social life or take pictures without worrying. Do you know if crown lengthening would work in my situation or is there some other form of treatment I could consider? I would really appreciate your advice regarding this. It has always something that has always got the way and I can’t get past it without help. Thank you for taking the time to hear me out. I look forward to your reply.
Hello Mark. I have had a bad history with my teeth so much so that my front teeth are completely destroyed and filled with fillings from one of my local dentists. I’m not happy about what he has done so I’m trying to find someone more professional who could help me with my bad teeth. I’m the kind of person who can’t smile in any photos because my tooth condition is so bad. I would like to know how much would it be for upper middle 4 teeth to be replaced with implants? Thank you for your reply.
Hello, I’m under 18 years old and have a gap between my teeth and Its really starting to mess with confidence. I’ve had it since I lost my baby teeth, it’s not very big, only about a quarter of a centimetre but to me it’s a lot. My dentist tells me I don’t need braces but the two teeth next to my front top teeth aren’t straight. But anyway I’m not bothered about those it’s just my gap. I have very thin teeth as it is so I was wondering if tooth bonding would be free on the NHS as I’m 14?
Hello Dr Hughes. My partner is wanting new teeth as he isn’t very confident with his own teeth. We are wanting to know some options he could take to improve his teeth and a price it would cost for the procedures? He has all of his teeth except one from the back which he had taken out through pain and his front tooth has a slight turn in it. Do you know anywhere we could get this type of treatment also? Thank you.
Hello Dr Hughes. I need two teeth straightening, the front left tooth and one next to. One has moved back and the other has moved forward and is starting to overlap the other front tooth. I have previously had braces, and I lost my retainer. I didn’t think they would move back because of how long I had the retainer in for. The one tooth seems to be moving back even more so I wanting it sorted out as soon as possible. I don’t want to spend a great deal but I would like it sorted as it’s affecting my self confidence?
Many thanks.
Hi Mark. I’d like your help and advice if it’s possible. I had fixed braces when I was younger and I felt that the treatment was rushed and I never had them on long enough as they said I should they never take any of my teeth out. I don’t feel like I was told the important information regarding retainers and such. I would wear the plastic braces for rest of my life and to come back when they get tight etc. It’s getting me down and I’ve lost confidence in smiling. Can you give me some advice on where I can go next? Thank you.
