My Front Tooth Is Skewed And Has Grown Above The Other Ones. Which Treatment Other Than Braces Would Be Suitable To Correct This?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi, I have a front tooth that has grown up above all the other ones in the gum, it is the only one that is skewed and moving a bit above the right one. I get a hard time having to talk cause only the gap appears until I smile and reveal them. I would like to know the best possible, non-expensive procedure to have it in line with the others but I do not want to go for braces. I have heard of veneers, dental and cosmetic bonding, but could any of them be an option? Any other method? Thanks.

I’m Looking For A Decent New Crown To Improve My Appearance. But Would A Dental Implant Be A Better Option?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark, I would like your advice. Some years ago I broke my front tooth and had a crown fitted. I also had root canal treatment on the tooth so there’s no nerve there. I had my original tooth ground down to a little peg for a new crown over the years on the NHS, which is nothing like my other teeth! Now I’m looking to pay for a decent new crown as I want to improve the appearance! My gum is black above the tooth, is there anyway to remove that? Would a dental implant be better for me? Thank you for your reply.

My Crown Had To Be Cracked Out As It Seemed To Be Stuck On Something. Do You Have Any Idea What This Could Be?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. My front tooth fell out weeks after 4 front crowns were placed. It was cemented back in a couple months ago and the same crowned tooth  felt like it was going to come out again. This time the crown felt like it was hanging on by a thread. The crown had to be cracked out in the end. I was wondering what it was stuck on, do you have any idea what it could have been? Time went by the same crown fell out again within a few months. When it fell out it had a long plastic thing inside the crown. What was that inside of my crown? It was this time that I learned the tooth had decayed and it had to be extracted. I am waiting for an implant on this tooth.

Hi Doctor! My question is that when I smile my upper gum shows and I always smile covering with my hand and I lose the confidence to smile with anyone, please kindly advise me on what the solution is?

Is It Possible For Me To Have A Crown Fitted? I’ve Had Health Issues In The Past And I’m Worried My Crowns Aren’t Secure.

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I hope you can help me out. I have two top front teeth that are caps with studs. Is it possible for me to have a crown fitted? Also what would the average cost be? I have had an heart operation 3 years ago and was ill for some time. My dentist will not see me now as I did not keep up my 6 month checks but told them I was very ill and off work for over 6 month. My crowns are not secure and I’m worried about the health side of things. Thank you for your reply in advance.

My Periodontal Disease Is Now Under Control. Which Treatment Will Make The Large Black Triangles Less Apparent?

Tuesday, July 1st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark, I have black triangles across my front upper teeth (incisors/canines) due to periodontal bone loss, some of them are large and noticeable when I smile. My periodontal disease is now being treated and is currently stable. Is cosmetic bonding a possible solution for making these black triangles less apparent? Are there any other methods for filling black triangles? Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your time.

How Can I Achieve A Hollywood Smile Without Breaking The Bank?

Tuesday, July 1st, 2014
Q.

Hello there Dr Moore. My sister had duraphat toothpaste from her dentist recently and she said it’s really made her teeth whiter. I have crowns and caps on the front of my teeth and I was wondering if I could use duraphat on my capped teeth. I love my teeth but I can’t afford to have new veneers like the Hollywood smile. I do look after my teeth and gums thank you. I would be very grateful if you could advise me on how to achieve the Hollywood smile without too much expense.

Is It Fair That My Dentist Can Charge An Extra £300 For Each Crowns Lab Fee?

Friday, June 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I have a dental discount plan which covers dental services at a discounted price. I recently had six crowns placed (lower front, 22-27).
Standard price quoted was £1,100 and discounted price was £428.
However my dentist charged me an additional lab fee of £300 for each crown. Is this correct? I heard that crowns include lab fees.
My dentist charged me a “lab fee” in addition to the cost of the crown. I thought the cost of the crown would include lab fees associated with the crown. Any information on this would be very helpful as I currently don’t know where to turn. Thank you.

I Grind My Teeth And My Crown Keeps Falling Out. Could I Get Dental Implants On The NHS?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I grind my teeth and I have crown at the front. I also have two false teeth but my crown keeps falling out. I did have a bridge on my three front teeth but I ended up with an abscess and had to have my root removed. I’m of ill health and my grinding is due to stress, it’s a vicious cycle because I’m worried about my health. I was wondering could I get implants on the NHS or if I could just get two for my front teeth and pay up myself? I don’t know how this all works and I’d just like some advice. Thanks.

Is There Anywhere You Would Recommend For Me To Go Abroad To Get Dental Implants?

Monday, June 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I have just paid nearly four thousand for two dental implants, and I was quoted almost fifteen hundred for two bridges for my upper right jaw. Would I get this cheaper by going abroad to get this work done? I was thinking about going to Croatia as I am familiar with certain areas of the country. Could you make a recommendation for anywhere else outside of the UK within a price range that I can afford. Do you know how many visits it would take for me to get this work done also?
