What cosmetic treatment can I get for one crooked tooth?

Monday, February 1st, 2010
Q. Hello Rob I am currently considering cosmetic dentistry as I have one tooth at the front of my mouth that is crooked. My teeth are healthy but I was wondering what procedure I would need to correct the one tooth. Would it be braces or veneers and what can I expect to pay? Thank you.,
A. either option or both might be suitable, invisible orthodontic systems like clearstep or invisalign typically cost £2000 – 4000 depending on the complexity. Veneers cost £400-800 per tooth, upper end costs are for pressable ceramics such as Lumineers.Contact Amy on 0121 643 0610 for a free intial assesment & quote from our Birmingham Dental Practice.Rob

Can venees treat crooked and discoloured teeth?

Monday, January 25th, 2010
Q. My teeth are stained by tetracycline when I was a child. I also underwent Orthodontic treatment as a young adult and now my teeth are slowly returning to their original (crooked) position. And I have had an organ transplant which requires me to take immuno- suppressant medication. What treatment would help me with the first two problems. Would veneers be suitable considering the third?,
A. Veneers would be a good option to disguise your discolored teeth and the veneers may well be able to give the appearance of your teeth being straight.  Your medical problems do need to be taken into consideration but this should not be a problem.  Please make a free Cosmetic Consultation appointment with my receptionist

My teeth have become crooked now that braces treatment has ended

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
Q. I’m 22 and when I was younger I had fixed braces and when the treatment was done I was given removable retainers. However, despite using the retainer as instructed, slowly my teeth have moved. The two front teeth in my top set have grown slightly apart (although I still use the top retainer, it closes the gap temporarily) and the bottom are becoming a bit crooked ( the retainer doesn’t even fit anymore) Can these two different problems be solved using Invisalign? If so, what do you recommend being done afterwards in order for them to stay in place?,
A. Hi – yes this sounds a great case for Invisalign and should be quite quick. For retention I would recommend a fixed retainer on the back of the front six teeth (a tailor-made wire bonded to them) and a clear removable retainer over the top (called an Essix retainer)

Ive a slightly crooked teeth what would be cost of having my veneers

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q. I am 24 and have slightly crooked teeth at the bottom in the centre. I also grind my teeth while sleeping so are small in size on the top. I was wanting possible venirs on the top and straightening and venirs on the bottom and want to know the best solution and the price implications. Regards

A. Hello Lee, I think both of these things will work well. An inman Aligner works well for mild crowding cost approx £1500 and veneers at my clinic start from £500 per tooth. If you’d like me to take a look please call 01245 268 494 and we can arrange a free smile consultation for you.Regards Andrew

Looking for private treatment for my one crooked tooth.

Thursday, December 10th, 2009
Q. I am 17 and have 1 crooked tooth which is also turned. I’ve seen my dentist and they suggest i get braces. i really don’t want to get braces and was wondering what i could to do that 1 tooth. My dentist only suggests braces as i am with the nhs but i am willing to go private. as i said what could i do to that 1 tooth?

A. Thanks for your questions, there are many teeth straightening systems available now. These vary from invisible aligner systems to systems which can acheive resultst in as little as six weeks. However if you do not wish to consider this route, you may wish to consult a private dentist about the possibility of having a ceneer or crown on the tooth in order to acheive the results you desire. I hope this will help.Kindest RegardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Can I smile again with a crooked teeth and gum recession?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q. I am 55 and have discloured crooked teeth with recession of gums due to long standing disease. I really want to smile. Is it possible to help me with crowns/veneers?

A. This is often a great solution to aesthetic issues following stabilization of the gum health.  Once they have been fitted it will be very important to see the hygienist 3 monthly to keep the periodontal disease under control.  Please come and see me for a free consultation for me to give you a more informed view

Can a crooked teeth be fixed without a braces?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q. Hi! My two front teeth are really crooked and I don’t know what to do about them. I don’t want to wear braces all the time so what do you suggest?

A. There are treatments available in my surgery that will often allow me to move teeth with invisable braces placed behind the teeth and will take only a few months – if this sounds good please contact my practice.  For simple cases this only costs £1540 – this includes permanent retention at the end of treatment to stop relapse

Crooked teeth needs veneers are there any other options?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q. Hi Kailesh I was wondering what you can do for people with croked teeth, ar veneers still an option. My 2 front teeth ar slightly further foward than the ones either side? I look forward to hearing from you. 

A.

Hi
Many thanks for your question. There are usually several options for correcting tooth position and alignment. Veneers are an option especially if you are also unhappy with the shape and colour of the teeth, however this treatment usually involves removing a small amount of healthy tooth. Other options include  6 month smiles, inman aligner, and invisalign. these would all reposition the teeth but not change the shape or colour.
I hope this helps

Abnormal crowded bottom teeth need a makeover for a better smile

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q. I have quite severe overcrowding in my lower teeth leaving the front 4 quite crooked, one in particular which is pushed back behind the others. My top teeth are also slightly crooked but nowhere near as bad as the bottom. It has left me miserable and embarrassed to talk or smile. I am 30 years old. What would be your recommended treatment, how much is it likely to cost, and are such treatments usually payable by a payment plan? Thank you.

A. Thanks for your questions, you should be pleased to find out that most practices which offer teeth straightening treatments have the facility to provide payment plans. Many even offer interest free credit, subject to status. There are many straightening systems available, all with there own advantages, from invisible braces, to braces which work in as little as six weeks. Although prices will vary between systems and practices, I can tell you that I currently offer treatments from £999. I hope this helps.

Need extensive makeover to my teeth

Saturday, October 31st, 2009
Q. I’m 22 and my teeth are awful! I’m embarassed to smile, laugh and often get told to ‘cheer up’ because of my regular closed mouth expression. My teeth are discoloured, sensitive, and crooked. This is due to lack of dental care when I was a child. I regularly use whitening products, and sensitive toothpastes, I visit the dentist but just seem to have filling upon filling. I’m so scared of one of my front teeth completely falling out. I honestly feel like I would be happier with false teeth, which is a bit of a daunting prospect at the age of 22. Being a student, I cant afford cosmetic dentisty and even the financial plas seem to want £100+ a month, which just isnt an option for me. I don’t seem to have a local dentistry school, and even ones far away seem to have full waiting lists. I’ve considered using a student loan to go abroad to have ‘cheap’ dentistry work done but hav been advised this could make things even worse. What should I do?

A. Its very difficult to have extensive treatment on a budget. You might be able to get some done on the NHS which is usually cheaper than paying privately. You always take a risk when going abroad as often the cost isn’t that much different, especially as the pound is quite weak against the Euro at the moment. You might also have complications that require further visits abroad. I guess the best option would be to save up as much as possible and to start the treatment in stages perhaps using a finance plan to help spread the costs?

Need latest treatment to fix my uneven crowded teeth

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q. Hi, I had braces on my top teeth when I was 17. I’m now 30 and I’m very self conscious of my ‘goofy’ teeth. The braces did straighten my teeth but my top teeth have always stuck out over my bottom ones. When I close my back teeth I am able to slide my little finger between the gap. When I had braces they never addressed my crooked bottom teeth and so I never have elastic bands to help the alignment of my teeth/jaw. As an adult now I feel I was possibly mistreated. I’m incredibly self conscious of my smile and I find I’m beginning to hide my teeth and mouth when I speak and laugh. All of this infuriates my husband who insists its part of what makes me me but I hate it! Is there anything that could help?

A. Thanks for your questions, there are many teeth straightening systems available now, with some that can acheive results within six weeks. I would recommend that you attend an orthodontic or cosmetic dental practice for a consultation, at which they should be able to advise you of the systems which are avilable to suit your case, the approximate treatment time and the price. Many of these practices will offer a free inital consultation, so that you can obtain the necessary information without any financial commitment and often have interest free credit facility to help spread the cost. I hope this helps.

Q. Dear doc I had lost my baby tooth after my adult tooth grew in right in front of it and now my teth are crooked is there a way to fix this before my wedding in June?

A. You could look at short term orthodontics such as 6 month smiles or invisalign.  You really need a cosmetic consultation to assess your options.

I need help for paying my orthodontic treatment

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Q. Hello.. im 35 years old… i have crocked teath and am very self conciuos about them. i havte opening my mouth infront of people mainly girls.. i am long time unemployed. i have ask my dentist if i could have my teath striaghtend on nhs. he siad no.. is ther any other way round this.. thatnx for your time…

A.
Thanks for your question, unfortunately your dentist is correct in that it is very unlikely that you would qualify for Orthodontic treatment on the NHS. Many practices do offer payment plans for private treatment, which would help you to spread the cost but this may be difficult without an income.

What is the cause for my uneven teeth growth?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Q. Hi, my teeth are quite small for my age. i’m 16 and only noticed this 1 year ago after an orthodontist pointed it out to me. My molars are maybe 2-3mm out of my gums and my other teeth are less than an inch out of my gums. is this strange or common, furthermore, my to front teeth overlapped as i grew up. is this related?

A. Size of teeth and crowding/spacing are related.  The size of your teeth oftens relates to your general body size.

Is there any possibility to extract as many teeth to hv avg smile?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Q. As an early teen I had chipped the top, front 6 of my teeth rollerblading. They felt loose for a while and had always bothered me the way they healed. It bothers me how my front teeth are displayed slightly misaligned to my left and with an overbite as well. The Army Dentist insisted on putting veneers over them. That never did anything to fix the misalignment problem of the front two top teeth being aligned under my nose. It seems the injury I must have suffered as a kid made the teeth grow in this way after they healed. I am disappointed and finished with the idea of trying to salvage my smile at this point in my life. I am wondering if you may be able to let me know if there is a possibility that there is a Dentist out there that would extract my front, top 6 teeth or as many as needed to have an average looking smile that is aligned under my nose. Thanks very much

A. If the teeth are healthy you should look into clear positioner orthodontics such as clearstep or invisalign
