Can you provide more insight on 6 months braces?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr, I would be grateful if you would give me some advice. I am need t get braces to correct overcrowding on both the top and bottom teeth. I have had a consultation for 6 month braces. I am not sure whether to get them or to go for traditional braces. Have you had any dealings with 6 months braces? Would you recommend them?

A. I would always recommend traditional braces as the first choice of treatment. 6 months braces can only be used in specific cases which involve mild to moderate crowding of the front teeth.

Relatively large front teeth needs treatment

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. i have two large front teeth and absolutely detest them. its giving me really low self esteem and i would really like to do something about them. What are my options and honestly how much will this kind of treatment cost? My two front teeth are longer than my “wedding finger nail” (short) just to give you a rough idea. im getting increasingly depressed about it what can i do?

A. The cost depends on what you have done. If they need veneers this will  normally cost from around £500 per tooth. If the teeth need removal then you could be looking at £500 for a small denture or £4000 for fixed implant supported crowns.

Have some incomplete dental work and need private dentist

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr Moore,I would like to ask you what I can do in my situation.I start a full mouths restauration last year,I already pay 10 .000 pounds .all the extraction been done,manage to have 6 implants on my upper jaw as well; still have four off mynteeths on upper jaw who need crowns,on my lower jaw just four teeths on the front.Now my circumstances change,I m on benefit I have a Hc2 certificate wich is not seems to help me much.I am stuck in the midle with a temporarty bridge wich is not even done properly because my dentist not pay any interes any more.My dentist even sugest to have the implants extracted and have ba denture instead wich I think is ridiculos.Anyway what I want to ask is if I have any chance to finish the work with a private dentist and pay the diference for the abutments for example.

A. I’m sure you would be able to find someone who will be happy to finish the work for you. It would be very useful for them to know the type and sizes of implants used so the correct components can be ordered. Unfortunatley none of this treatment is available on the NHS so your NC2 cert isn’t any use. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look Regards
Andrew

Have been told I would loose all my teeth

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. Good afternoon,I have just visited a dentist who says that I need root canal surgery,and prescribed antibiotics because of an abcess.I had an upper bridge 10 teeth fitted 5yrs ago, though not by him, and have been told that I am about to lose all of my teeth, plus the bridge. I am at my wits end. I will not contemplate dentures, and need advise on implants.Please help

A. Options for replacing mising teeth are
1. bridges
2. dentures
3. implants.

Implants are a great way of replacing missing teeth. My advice would be to see an experienced implant dentist to provide you options.

I need to quit smoking to have implants so is bonding an option?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Q. I am aged seventy two and I have had upper crowns and bridges for about twenty five years, now two of the teeth are crumbling inter palatally. This involves the left central incisor and the canine tooth. The remedy which has been suggested is to cut of my bridge between the central incisors, have the teeth removed on the upper left and then have implants. Until I get a new bridge I will need to wear dentures, the estimated cost for this is £9k. There will be two dentists involved in this; one says that I must stop smoking and the other dentist say that I do not need to. At present I am hoping that “cosmetic bonding” is an alternative. My questions are. Could “cosmetic bonding” prevent the offending teeth from additional crumbling? If implants are the only solution, will I need to stop smoking? Many thanks.

A. Bonding is a good temporary solution although if the teeth need to come out then it might not work that well. If you have implants stopping smoking will help improve the success rate.

Can I have implants if I have bone loss?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Q. I have bone loss, non smoker all my life and no medical conditions. I am awaiting 3 top front teeth extrations (have been waiting 2 years), one hanging on by a small thread! hopefully I will be measured for a small plate. Taking daily pain relief and limited in what I can eat and very embarassing talking to patients myself as, I have a fractured tooth and it has dropped. Am I able to have implants if I have bone loss? was offered by dental hospital to have teeth splinted, but was told not a pretty sight, what do you think? Kind Regards

I have series of dental treatment issues and need your suggestions

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi, I live in York I’m 17, and I had my teeth sorted about a couple of years ago. I’ve had treatment on my teeth since I was 8, and I still wear braces now. My teeth were perfect after I had traintracks, and I was given a clear bottom retainer (which I still wear). At the time I did wonder why I wasn’t given a top one as well. He replied that if I wear the bottom one, it will keep the top ones in place. It hasn’t. I have 1 reasonably out of place, and two others slightly. I know that it doesn’t sound like much, but from having my teeth perfect, and wearing my retainer like I should have, makes me rather annoyed in a sense. I’m almost 18, and I was wondering if I now had to pay for treatment, ie retainers etc? And also, I am still in full time education, due to me having to re-sit the whole two years of my A levels, as I have been very ill, and hospitalised occasionaly. I will finish my A levels when I am 19. So would still being in full time education mean that I can still have treatment on my teeth for free? Thank you for your time, and I do not mind if you cannot fully answer my question.

A. Thanks for your questions, I would recommend you return to your clinician to discover whether they would be willing to correct your problems, due to the lack of a retainer. If they will not I do not think that you would be able to receive further treatment free of charge on the NHS, as your malocclusion may now not be severe enough to fulfil the NHS criteria for treatment. If this is the case I would recommned that you attend and Orthodontist or cosmetic dentist to discuss possible treatment options. There are systems available provately which can work in as little as six weeks. I hope this will help.

Need dental treatment with financial plan

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. i have seriously bad teeth i need help quickly i have not been to a dentist for 5 years because of cost i need a surgery where i can pay weekly or monthly

A.

I would recommend that you arrange a consultation appointment with a local dentist, many of whom can offer free initial visits. At this appointment, the dentist would be able to advise you of the treatment which you require, as well as the associated prices. Many practices do now have the facilities to offer monthly payment schemes, including interest free credit. However, if this is not available to you, at least you will be able to plan the appointments you need according to your finances, and just spread the treatment over a longer period. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks

Need a dental treatment to smile better from what I have now

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr Solanki, I have a narrow tooth to the left of my front teeth and to the left of that tooth I have a fang tooth which I really hate the appearance and feeling of, it is positioned a bit higher than my other teeth and when my mouth is closed if you press along my mouth you can clearly feel a difference there, also when smiling it does not look good. I love to smile but past few years I smile alot less with my mouth open, it does affect me and in general most of my teeth need fixing eg; straightened, some reshaped to look even and whitened. I was wondering what could be done to help with my upper left fang tooth so it looks normal and also for all my teeth to be straight, even and white? I would prefer not to have braces. Hope you can make some sense of what I am asking for here and also any general pricing to give me an idea would be great. Many Thanks.

A. Thanks for your questions, although you would prefer not to have braces, I would encourage you to look into the various types of braces which are available today. There are systems which can work in as little as six weeks, as well as systems which are virtually invisble. If however this is really not for you, you may wish to consider having the teeth veneered. The veneers could be used to alter the size, shape, colour and overall aesthetic appearance of your teeth, to create the smile you desire. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks

I would like to book an appointment with you but have few questions

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr Solanki. I am 39 and live in the Manchester area. I have been looking at your practice on the internet for some time now and like what i see. I know it is very difficult for you to give such advice without seeing me but i have just a few questions before i take the plunge if that’s ok. Without going into the reasons why my teeth are like they are (same story as everyone else) i am sure what remains of my top teeth need to be removed. If i book a consultation at your practice, what is the cost of this ? and what is included ? xrays ect ? I would like to go down the road of implants with a fixed bridge. Now, assuming my bone is sufficiant what is the likely cost, with everything included. I have saved a small deposit of around £3000 and obviously would need to finance the rest. I am in secure well payed employment. However my credit reference isnt the best with 2 blemishes on. Does your practice do finance and would i be likely to get it ? Sorry for going on and thanks for your time.

A. Thanks for your question, I offer a free inital consultation, to discuss your treatment options and to outline the associated prices. There would be fees associated with x-rays, but often this would be at a second appointment, when my patient has decided that they are happy to proceed. Although I am unable to give a definate price for this treatment, without a consultation, I would usually estimate around £10,000. We do have the facility to offer interest free credit for this treatment, over a period of up to two years, or interest bearing credit over a maximum of five years. I hope this information will be of assistance, however if you require any further guidance or would like to arrange a free initial consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kindest Regards

Need to straighten and whiten my teeth

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. I am 46. I have recently noticed my teeth are discolouring. I dont smoke or drink fizzy drinks, but I am a coffee (not tea) drinker. I roughly drink around 4 cups per day. The tooth next to my front left is a milk tooth with a tiny filling, and the one next to that is slightly twisted. I would like to know the following pls. (a) can I have whitening treatment that would include a milk tooth? (b) to straighten the slightly twisted tooth, how much would that cost? Thank You

A. Thanks for your questions, it is possible to have teeth whitening treatment, despite the fact that you still have one of your baby teeth. However it is also possible that this tooth may not whiten as much as your permanent adult teeth. In respect of the teeth straightening treatment, there are many systems available today, with different benefits, with systems that are virtually invisible to systems whioch work in as little as six weeks. The cost of straightening will vary between systems and practices, however I can tell you that I currently offer teeth straightening from £999, with the option of interest free monthly payments available. I hope this information will help, but encourage you to contact me again should you require further assistance.

Heard veneers are expensive so want to know more about dental bonding

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi i have a gap between my to front teeth and i really dislike it alot and was woundering what the best aproach is? ive heard of dentail bonding and was woundering what are your thoughts on that? ive always wanted the top teeth made into veneers to get a perfect smile but it costs to much so thats why i was woundering about bonding and how much roughly would it cost?

A. Thanks for your questions, Dental bonding could be an option, depending on the size of the gap you are trying to close. I would expect you to pay no more than £300 for the two teeth. Your other options would be veneers, which I would expect to cost between £400 – £600 per tooth, or teeth straightening for which I currwently have treatments available from £999. There are many practices now, who are able to offer monthly payments schemes such as interest free credit to help you spread the costs of treatment. I hope this helps.

Should I consider having dental implant from a titanium rod?

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi, i was wondering if a real tooth can be a replacement for a dental implant rather than titanium?

A. Thanks for your question, the titanium rod is placed into the jawbone but has a natural looking false tooth over the top of it. If you wish to avoid having the titanium rod placed, then you would need to have either a bridge (attached to either one of or both of the teeth either side of the gap) or a denture to fill the gap left by your missing tooth. I hope that this helps.

Low self confidence due to gum issue causing bad teeth

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. I am very worried about a friend of mine who is very unhappy about her teeth. She has had severe gum disease and has lost some teeth and although the gum disease has now gone her gums and teeth are not in a good way. She can not afford the cosmetic dentistry that she needs and this is now impacting on her life. She has become very self conscious and has lost a lot of her self confidence. Is there any funding available to help her?

A. Thanks for your questions, I would suggest that you encourage your friend to arrange an appointment at her local NHS practice. The pricing structure for NHS treatment is fixed, and even free, depending on the patients personal circumstances. The dentist would be able to advise your friend of how to improve her smile with as little financial output as possible. Many Thanks
