Can you tell me if there is any way to get implants on the NHS?

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Q. i was attacked at 15teen andlost my 2 front teeth im now 21 nearly 22 and have been in depression for years. having to clean a denture just is a bad start to my day making me sad as ive had bad experiancs wth it flying out at people is there any wayyou know where if i could get implants on the n h s thank you for your time .,
A. I think your only option is to try at a dental hospital and even then you will probably need to pay something towards the treatment. You might also try a dentist who needs a patient for a dental course but again you will need to pay some as well

What options are there to fill tooth gap?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Q. I’ve had an extraction next to my wisdom tooth, what options are there available to fill the gap. also could you give me some indication of cost and time and visits needed for the procedure. thanks,
A. Hi The options available to fill the gap would be a denture, a bridge or an implant. The process to make a denture would take a series of weekly/fortnightly appointments, in order to ensure the best fit and aesthetics for the final result. The cost for a denture would start from around £250. In respect of a bridge, this would involve a preperation appointment, where either one or both of teeth either side of the gap would be prepared for crowns. An impression would then be taken and sent to the laboratory for a bridge to be made. This would consist of either one or two crowns with a false tooth attached which would fill the gap. The cost for a bridge would start from around £200 per unit. The final option would be an implant, which involves a titanium implant be placed into your jaw, and once this has integrated a crown would be made which would attach to the implant to fill the gap. The cost for an implant would start at around £1500. I hope that this will help. Kind Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki

Can you advise on replacing dentures which I hate?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Q. hi Dr solanki,my husband and i are 60ish we have lost all our back teeth top and bottom,we have 6 teeth at the top and nine at the bottom front,please could you tell us our options,we both have dentures and hate everything about them,many thanks,,
A. Hi , thanks for your questions. You may wish to consider having dental implants placed to stabilise your existing dentures. Alternatively, you could have implants placed and fixed bridgework made to fix to the implants to fill the gaps which your dentures currently fill. I hope this will help, but if you require any further assistance, or would like to arrange a free consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me via our website www.kissdental.co.uk Kindest Regards.

What treatment can I have to improve my smile?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
Q. Hi, please help! I am 25 years old, and all my life I have had very poor teeth. I had an operation when I was 4yrs old and the anaesthetic, combined with the fact that my Dad had an enamel defficiency led me to have brown lines across my front teeth and all of the others slowly rotting away ever since I can remember. I had veneers put onto my front teeth when I was about 16 so they are not a huge issue, but the rest of them are terrible. I have had 3 extractions so far, and have several very heavy fillings and my teeth are crooked and squashed up. I have considered having a full set of dentures just to eleviate my pain and constant embarassment of having ugly teeth, plus limiting the huge amount of cost I would have to pay to have my teeth constantly repaired. All I want is to smile and laugh without having to put my hand over my mouth.,
A. A clinical assesment and a chat would be needed to find out what your best options might be. Salvage of some key teeth, crowns, root treatments or a few implants in well chosen sites. The costs also vary. I suggest that you work out an overall budget or a monthly payment budget. Also go to several dentists for alternative treatment plans.At the StJohns dental practice in Birmingham an initial assesment and consultation is free if you mention the cosmetic guide. Call 0121 643 0610 for details.Regards Rob

Can you advise on all treatment in UK available for front tooth?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q. hello sir , hru?, one of my front teeth is misssing, how can i fix it? how much it cost in uk? give me all the options available plz . from cheapest to expensive way, thanks,
A. Thanks for your questions,There are three options available to you, to close the gap left by the loss of your front tooth. The first of these options would be a partial acrylic denture, which would cost £198 (NHS) and from around £275 (private). The second option would be a bridge, which would involve the preperation of either one or both of the teeth adjacent to the gap. The dentist would then take an impression of the prepared teeth, before a bridge could be made at the laboratory. The cost for this bridge would be £198 (NHS) or from around £350 (private). The final option would be a dental implant, which would involve an implant being placed into your bone. Once the implant had integrated, a permanent crown would be made to attach to the implant. The cost for a dental implant including the crown will vary between practitioners, but I currently charge from £2100 for ths service. I hope this information will be of assistance, but encourage you to contact me should you require any further help.Kind RegardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Will dental implants fill out my face again?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q. I have facial sagging due to loss of all lower back molars going back a no of years (9 teeth in a row in front)I cannot afford implants just now & have been told I would need bone grafting to that area due to shrinkage of bone, my current dentist is supplying a partial denture to help with bite meeting upper teeth. Will future implants “fill out” my face again? I am still considered a very attractive woman for my age-41 but don’t feel confident in self.,
A. The implants will really stop the bone shrinking back further rather than fill out your face. A denture won’t stop the bone shrinking back as only implants stimulate the bone reduce further bone reduction.

What is the best option to replace soon to be missing tooth?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Q. Hi Dr. Patel, My question is about the # 2 molar that has a crown and recently abcessed. I have been told that the infected tooth can not have root caan therapy and cannot be saved. I am a 61 year old female and I have worked very hard after not having dental when growing up to keep my natural teeth. The last tooth has a large filling and the tooth on the other side is crowned. I am disabled with limited funds. What is the best solution for the soon to be missing tooth and should I look for a surgeon to remove this tooth? Thank you,
A. If it is causeing pain it needs to come out, you can than live with the gap or have a small denture made.

Unhappy about denture and am looking for info about metal plates?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Q. Dear Sirs, I was wondering wether or not you could help me, you see im at my wits end, when i was about 22 years old i started with terrible dental problems, abcesses mouth ulcers, etc, and over the years got worse in a result of me eventually having full dentures, none of my family know i have dentures as i never take them out apert to clean them,the dentures i have at the moment are old and worn so i went to the dentist for new ones,i cant wear them the teeth dont close together, i cant chew or bite anything and i look like a horse they are huge, my dentist said i need to get used to them(i know that) but they are completely wrong, what i wanted to know was if there was any way i could have metal plates put into both my upper and lower jaw and have teeth inserted into them and if so what would roughly be the cost, thankyou for your time,
A. Thanks for your questions, it may be possible for you to have implants placed. Dental Implants can be used to support a denture, or to retain fixed bridge work. The most cost effective way would be to have two dental Impants placed, which could then be used to support a denture. The cost of this treatment will vary between practitioners, however I can tell you that I currently charge from £3000 for this service. The alternative would be to have at least four implants, but preferably up to six implants placed to support fixed bridgework, with the cost for this treatment starting at around £10000. Many of the practices who offer these services are able to offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment. I hope this information will help, but would encourage you to contact me should you require any further assistance.Kindest regardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Are dentures best option for painful and decaying teeth?

Monday, February 8th, 2010
Q. I have a real serious problem. I went to a dentist because my teeth were just breaking apart piece by piece. They ended up pulling all my top teeth and gave me a denture. They said they could save my bottom teeth with root canals and fillings. Well after thousands of dollars almost everyone tooth on the bottom has now broken off and I am in serious pain. My grandfather, mother and sister all have had this happen to them too. Sometimes I can just run my tongue over my teeth and my teeth come off in like a gooey substance. There is not much left and I stay in pain. My dentist really screwed me. Can you tell me what is wrong with my teeth? I am sure I need dentures now on the bottom but after all that I paid and still paying I can’t afford to do anything else. In pain in Washington State,
A. Unfortunatly some people have weaker teeth than others, this can be due to genetics and/or sometimes certain medication that you may have taken whilst the teeth were forming may have weakened your teeth.It is hard for me to tell you exactly all the different and affordable options. I recommend that you see a dentist who you can trust – perhaps through a referral – and hopefully thay may be able to help you.Justin Glaister

Can you get dentures wihout the need for fixadent?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q. Can dentures be made that fit so you dont have to use powders or fixadent to eat,
A. It depends on the amount of gum/bone you have left after the teeth are removed. If the dentures don’t hold in place you could consider using dental implants to anchor them in place. This is a very good solution for patients who struggle with the retention of full or partial dentures

What options are there to replace missing teeth?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q. I have not been to a dentist was about 20 years, i had my back teeth out both sides, so i have been eating on my front teeth and they are worn down, I now get toothache every day and need treatment badly but scared,I am 61 years old with little money, some of the front teeth are loose as well worn down so i think i need they all out what do you think and how much do you think it is going to cost,
A. There are a few options available for replacing teeth. If money is a concern for you then perhaps dentures are the best option for you. It’s hard to quote you on how much a denture will cost as there are many contributing factors. You will require a thorough examination before you commence with this treatment.Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

A. You can look at a denture, bridge or implants.  Implants are the best option as they last the longest and are the closest substitute to having real teeth.

Unsure about lower denture

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q. Hello Dr. Moore My bottom “Front Teeth”, 4… are separated by “TWO” extractions from the middle, I assume that you can imagine my appearance…that of a “Bulldog” somewhat? To make matters worse, they protrude to the point of making my lips protrude as well, which I hate. I will eventually be getting partial dentures for top and bottom. My upper front 4 teeth are out, they were very loose, these protruded even more than the bottoms. The remaining teeth will obviously be used to anchor the dentures. My concern is, the “Front Teeth” in the upper FRONT denture will of course be relatively straight, but the bottom 4 “separated original teeth” protrude… What procedure will the Dentist use to align up the bottom and top dentures? With the exception of the “two upper canines” plus the adjacent tooth behind each one and”ONE”lower back root canal that’s all the teeth I have left… oh’ yeah’… and the bottom 4 protruders! At my age “70″ I sure don’t want braces. I was originally going to have them all out and get implants… HA’ until I learned it would cost a small fortune? A dentist I used for the consultation at the time said your face will look or BE LONGER??? So, needless-to-say, I’m looking for a 2nd opinion…what say you regarding my dilemma? I thank you whole heartedly and hope your return email will ease my mind? …Ohh’ one last thing, should I expect to pay “EXTRA for this? Regards,,
A. It sounds like to might be worth including the protruding lower front teeth on your new lower partial denture, that way you would be able to get the alignment of the lower teeth correct and then the subsequent alignment of the upper front teeth on the denture will be straight too.

Are there any side-effects to using chrome cobalt?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q. Hi, my wife has a upper plate made from Chrome Cobalt as we have been told which holds too front teeth. What I need to know is have you heard for any side efforts from using this material. Why I ask is that since it was fitted she has had mood swings Head and neck aches.,
A. If the Chrome Cobalt denture is in the way of the bite muscle tension can develop which may cause head and neck pains.  Another possible cause is the psychological effect of wearing a denture.  See your dentist to check for any physical problems with your denture.  Otherwise it may require time to get used to the denture.

is cosmetic dentures different from just regular dentures

Monday, January 4th, 2010
Q. is cosmetic dentures different from just regular dentures you get from the dentist? coz im not rich, i rely solely on my state insurance to pay for my dental needs and I recently had ALL of my teeth pulled, due to decay and abscesses. Im still waiting to get dentures made by my dentist and Im curious to know if Ill look better, like a photo of a before and after woman i saw here on this page. So question is. Are dentures made by regular dental providers as beautiful as the ones you guys make?,
A. The real difference is the laboratories we use to actually make the dentures – these tend to be a high fee hence the charges are increased to provide you with the best looking dentures
