Q. Hi, I have braces right now and I am getting them off in two months.Well my orthodonist is going to leave gaps next to my two fromt teeth so i can get them enlarged for a better result,My question is,is how much does bonding usually range on inbetween two teeth,im in college and on my own and have no insurance right now.Also im wanting to get the whiting trays from the dentist,with the trays and gel you put in,i was woundering also how much that usually goes for???Please help with these,i need to know how much money i will need. Thank you!
A. hi, many thanks for your email, the cost of whitening using a home treatment can vary from £200 to £800 dependant on the system and type of whitening. the cost of bonding to close a gap between your two front teeth can also vary, but ranges from £200 – 400 for the treatment. hope this is helpful.

Q. Dear DOCTOR I suffer with periodontal disease which is controlled and my teeth are not loose. Recently I have had a sharp pain on chewing under a molar that is crowned. Following an x-ray I have been told that there is chronic infection low down irritating the nerve and that the tooth will have to come out. I am an NHS patient but am prepared to pay privately to have an implant which the NHS dentist would do. I am told there is no rush to decide providing the pain is only occasional . Does this mean it will not make me ill if I take my time . Also what is the success rate for implants on people with gum disease and would the infection need to be treated before commencing or is chronic infection something that does not go away.Thankyou
A. Chronic infection will only go away when the source of the infection is treated. In your case the dentist has diagnosed an extraction.
I would not be able to advise you on an implant prognosis as it depends on bone and gum levels and various other factors. I recommend you have a full assessment with the implantologist of your choice.

Q. I recently had my front tooth extracted about 8 months ago because when I was a child a root canal was done on my tooth incorrectly. After different techniques and surgery my dentist said the tooth couldn’t be saved because it was to far gone. I was laid off my job and lost my insurance. I currently have a fake pull out tooth that I hate! I hide it from my husband and family because I am embarassed. I can’t afford to continue the procedure for an implant. What can I do? Is there any information you can give me to help me? Thank you.
A. im afriad dental implants are only available privately. Consult an NHS dentist to find out what is available on the NHS, as it differs depending on your case.

Q. I was just wondering if even without insurance would I be able to afford dental veneers?

Q. A NHS dentist at a previous check up recommended that I have small fillings put in 4 of my bottom front teeth to stop them chipping further. However, I have dental insurance with a private dentist from whom I have had rout canal treatment carried out on other teeth and he advised me that this would not be a good idea. My teeth are not painful and the chips are not very noticable. I am slao in my fifties.
A. If you do not need to get this done for pain or function and you dont think it will improve your teeth aesthetically then I would not get it done.

Q. I Have 2 upper front teeth which are crowns from an accident in my childhood. They have now come loose and my dentist says I need dentures and cannot have replacement crowns due to receding gums. Could you advise if implants would be suitable and can the treatment be done abroad? Or if there is anywhere in the UK that can carry out the work with finance options.
A. Implants may well be a solution. You may need to check that the receeding gums are not linked to advanced periodontal problems before implant treatment. A rough guide for an implant & crown is about 2000 all inclusive. Some practices like StJohns Dental offer 10 months interest free credit or low interest finance over 3 years. A free initial assesment is available to discus individual cases, call Amy 01216430610 for details. As implant treatment takes time I prefer my patients to be nearby in case unexpected issues arise and also for convenience during long term maintenance. Rob

Any advise much appreciated.
A. If teeth require root canal treatment the NHS must treat you.

Q. I have a missing tooth on the lower side on the left. I have spoken to my dentist and she has suggested a dental implant costing over £1000 is this correct? there is a small piece of tooth still there which is decayed.
A. The implant costas about £1000. the final tooth will be extra on top. Find out how much the cost for the total treatment will be, but it sounds like the right treatment for the gap

Q. i am 24yrs old and my upper teeth are all falling out one by one what should i do every dentist i see tell me to get implants but they cost to much.how about dentures will they look natural i am ashame i dont even smile any more can you please help me…..
A. It must be awful for you to be experiencing this….but be aware that there ARE options regarding your teeth. You need not suffer.
As you are still only young and hopefully have many years ahead of you…….the best long term option would be implants- as you have been told in the past. They are the next best thing to your real teeth- and are fixed into your mouth. You are right, however that it is a costly form of treatment. Please do not dismiss the idea straight away. Alot of dental practices offer financial solutions- such as 0% finance. It is not something to go into lightly, but I do advise that you have a consultation regarding your teeth. I would be more than happy to see you myself, or alternatively, I could recommend some good dentists in your area.
On the subject of dentures, there is an art to making them look natural. There are some great denture lab technicians that can construct works of art,- and it IS an option.
In the meantime, I would stress that you have regular dental visits and hygiene visits to stabilise the condition of your remaining teeth.

A. I’m not sure if you could have cosmetic dentistry done when that is obviously the reason why the teeth need repairing, talk to your dentist and see what he might be able to do for you

Q. hi may i ask i am on JSA and i think i may need an implant on one of my molar teeth if that is what you call them ….and it is a baby tooth also and is infected my dentists keep sayin it needs removing and i dont want to as i keep gettin it filled in, and so as i am an aspring model it forms part of my smile and he has said that i could have a bridge and i dont want to ruin my other teeth either side of the bad one and so he has further mentioned it is possible to have an implant……..now i was wondering if it possible to get health insurance anywhere for implants etc
A. Unfortunately I am not currently aware of any insurances that help with implant cover unless the tooth loss was from an accident. I do think implants are the best option for you as a bridge will effect your other teeth. Our practice does offer 0% finace on loans so you can spread the costs over a longer period which helps a lot of people have treatment they may not otherwise be able to afford. You need to look for a good dentist that does implants and have a consultation.

Q. Hi Dr Rob I need quite extensive dental work which I have put off for many years due toi the escalating expense, I have put off at least 3 root canals, my front teeth have gone wonky so I need a brace, and I need to replace both my caps and I probably need at least another two caps, this obviously is hugely above my budget, and I don’t realy want to travel to Bulgaria or Poland to get treatment, what Dental Insurance would be the most comprehensive with full cover with no excess – and if it would cover an Anaesthesiologist if I wanted to have everything done in one go, as I have an extreme fear of Dentists. I am sorry i seem alarmist but I need to sort this problem out asap! Best regards
A.
I can’t give direct insurance advice as i am not registered with the FSA. I advise checking the small print to see how long you need to be in the scheme before you can claim and what the maximum claim (in total and for individual items) is in any one year. Some may cover sedation fees.
Most root canal treatments take up a treatment session under sedation. Given the volume of work you think is needed 5 or more sessions is realistic.
If you would like to find out more about our sedation sessions for anxious patients please call our Birmingham Practice on 0121 643 0610

Q. i’m 45 yr. old female had dental problems since i was born couldn’t tolorate milk my mom said when i was born. so my teeth wasn’t healthy. my bottom teeh in the front all four are loose one of them in very loose than the other what sugestion you coudld give me. i need help i have no dental insurance.
A. You could have the teeth removed and a partial denture fitted. Once the tissues have stabilised you could consider your long-term options such as a bridge or dental implants. These are more costly options that you might need more time to consider whether they are right for you
