How Much Would a Full Set of New Teeth Cost?

Thursday, February 19th, 2015
Q.

Hi there, please help. Could I have a rough estimate for a full set of new teeth top and bottom please? My teeth are all crooked and stained. I would love a whole new smile as I am very self conscious about my mouth and embarrassed to open my mouth.   Kind regards, thank you.

I’m Insecure About My Teeth. Can You Offer Any Advice?

Friday, September 5th, 2014
Q.

Hey Dr Hughes. I have really horrible teeth that make me feel very self-conscious. The ones next to my front teeth stick out and it’s irritated me for years. My dentist made a mistake with previous treatment and tried to charge me a lot of money to fix them, which I couldn’t afford at the time as I was only young. The appearance of my teeth makes me feel very insecure and I dream about having the perfect smile so I can feel more confident in myself. Is there any way I could be able to get some help or guidance in the right direction?
Thank you so much, I hope you can give me some advice.

I Regret Not Getting Braces When I Was Younger. I’m 19 Now And I Never Smile. What Do You Feel Is The Best Thing To Do?

Thursday, July 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I have been self-conscious about my teeth my whole life. I refused to have braces when I was younger because I didn’t want the embarrassment of people noticing them and then noticing my teeth. Now I’m 19 years old and realise it was the biggest mistake I ever made. I never smile because of how my teeth look and it makes me really unhappy on a daily basis. What do you feel the best thing I could do is? Thanks.

I Have Researched Different Options On How To Fix A Gummy Smile, Which Course Of Action Is Best To Consider?

Friday, October 4th, 2013
Q.

I have a gummy smile.

I am trying to find which options are best for me.

I have seen two dentists and they don’t seem to have all the facts. They only seem to think that veneers are the answer; they weren’t aware of any other options.

But from my research, there seems to be the following solutions:  Lip repositioning surgery and/or Botox, orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery, crown lengthening and veneers afterwards, gum removal by laser or scalpel. I am currently having orthodontic treatment, as I was led to believe this would solve the problem. The orthodontist has now told me that it can’t, so I need to seek other solutions. I have had lip repositioning surgery and Botox, but this did not work. Plus these are both temporary solutions.

What other solutions are there? Who can I consult with to get an overview of all of the options?

I Want To Know How Well The Enlighten Deep Cleaning System Works And Whether It Affects Thin Enamel?

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello, Dr Moore, I have quite a few questions I need to ask you about the enlighten deep bleaching system. Does the enlighten deep bleaching system work on patients with thinning enamel? Also could you tell me how well does it bleaches dentine? Will they experience more sensitivity? How much change should a patient expect to see in the final hours session within the surgery? If teeth are not very white by this stage, will it have a significant effect? Thank you, I hope you can provide me with an answer.

Are clear braces definitely unnoticeable?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, i am getting braces very shortly. According to my mum she said that he said they will not be noticeable? is this clear braces i only have 3-4 teeth max to correct.

I am a bit confused as you may be aware i am 17 and quite scared to be honest i must admit i just need some clear basic advice from a professional 🙂

Many thanks for your answers i appreciate everyones contribution!

I have heard they at at least £3000 clear ones but why so much money… My dentist said i will have a 6 month treatment to 8 month treatment which is good i guess a good sign indeed… but i have also heard if you have a fixed brace you get clear ones free or something? ( i may be wrong there i dont know for 100% sure!
