I cant have dentures anymore Could you suggest?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q. Please can somebody help me i am 37 years old and had all of my teeth pulled out when i was 18 with 2 wisdom teeth so with not a tooth in my mouth i have worn dentures for nearly 20 years and as im sure you know what im just about to say i wont be able to have any more dentures due to no bone and gum left im getting quite distressed about this as the plates do not fit in my mouth now and the teeth on the plate have grinded so i cant eat or chew my face feels is collapsing.would i not be able to have this done on the nhs.can there be a positive outcome

A. Hi, many thanks for your email. the first thing that should be ascertained is how much bone you have generally i have found in my experiance that once a CT scan of the jaw bones is done, there is usally more bone in the jaws than you think. The next step once the true answer is known about how much bone you have is deciding on the the way the teeth are to be restored. th reason for the CT scan would be to see if you are a candidate for dental implants.

Preferribly four implant in each jaw would give you fixed teeth which would not require removing, the cost of which would be approx £12,000 per jaw.

Two implants per jaw fixed to a denture would be removable but when in very secure. the cost per jaw would be £5000

The alternative would be dentures which is what you already have, but with a better fitting surface and new teeth, these are not ideal, but cost wise may range from £1000 – £4000

There are many practices that offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment. hope this is helpful.

I had bulimia Will the yellow marks disappear by teeth whitening?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q. Hello I had bulimia in the past and my teeth are heavily damaged, the front teeth especially have lost enamel and left ugly yellow marks that brings down my confidence. I am considering teeth whitening. Would this make the yellow marks disappear? Thank you for your time

A. I have treated a number of bullimic patients and if all the enamel has been removed the teeth will not whiten,  better option is bonded fillings or porcelain veneers or crowns.

what is the solution to get rid of the stains in my teeth

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q. I drink tea twice a day and over the years i have developed tea stains on my teeth what is the solution to get rid of the stains.

A. Ask your dentist to refer you to his hygienist to clean off as much of this staining as possible and then try some teeth whitening.

I have purchased grillz. Can I wear them over my braces?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q. Hello, I currently have braces but i have purchesed teeth grillz. I would i would like to know if it is possible to wear them even though i have braces. Regards

A. I dont think the grillz will fit over your braces so you will not be able to wear them.  You could show them to your orthodontist.

I want to change all my front teeth to silver colour dental grills?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q. I want to change my canines and all my front teeth to silvery colour teeth, please can it be possible?

A. Hi S, many thanks for your enquiry, to change your front teeth to a silver colour is what i am understanding that you require.

There are two ways to achieve this. the first way is to have a clip on device called a grill made for your teeth which is made to the specification you require. This is removable and so if ever you don’t want silver teeth anymore is not a major problem.

The second option would be to veneer your front teeth but instead of the veneers being made out of porcelain would be constructed out of a silver alloy. This is possible and is a fixed option so if ever you decided you did not want silver teeth you would have to have the work removed and replaced with an alternative ie, porcelain veneers. To create the room for the silver veneers the teeth would need to be prepared so drilled.

Hope this information is what you require.
