I am having surgery done this soon. I’m having all the back teeth have been removed. I only have 11 bottom teeth and have had root canal treatment on 6. I know eventually these will have to be taken out at some point. I have looked after my teeth but right from the age of 5. I was always having work done. I went into hospital at 21 and had an operation on my upper gum resulting to gum disease and this left me absolutely horrified with the result. More treatment was needed resulting to crowns which kept falling out. My last dentist left the practice and I felt let down as he helped build my confidence up but now I am really scared of the what might happen. The only option on NHS is a full denture plate. I am very nervous and worried about this as the feed back I’ve heard about dentures I would like to have implants instead. Would I be able to get them on some sort of payment plan?

I Have 9 Teeth Extracted. Would There Be Some Kind Of Payment Plan Available To Have Implants?
Friday, May 2nd, 2014My Dad Has Developed Periodontal Disease Through Having Diabetes. Is There Something He Can Do Temporarily Until He Gets Implants?
Tuesday, April 29th, 2014Hi Andrew. I have a question for you. My dad has diabetes (not because he is overweight or unhealthy) and has developed periodontal disease, he’s currently having treatment with a gum specialist and he has an appointment for a deep cleaning soon, but some of his teeth have fallen out and some are loose. Is there something that can be done temporarily like a bridge in order for him to have teeth until he has healthy enough gums to maybe get implants? He’s getting really paranoid, as his front tooth is loose and he is under a lot of stress through this.
I’ve Been Told I Have Good Bone Structure. Would I Be A Suitable Candidate For Dental Implants?
Thursday, March 27th, 2014I Have A Missing Tooth Which Was Knocked Out Five Years Ago. Could I Have A False Tooth That’s Permanent?
Tuesday, March 11th, 2014Hi Andrew. I currently have a missing tooth which was knocked out around five years ago, I am currently twenty years of age and it is really affecting my confidence, it is a front tooth and is on the top row. Do you know if I could have a false tooth that’s permanent and if so how much would it cost? Any information on all possibilities would be a welcome help. Also if I do eventually have a false tooth will a teeth whitening programme affect the tooth in any way? Thank you for your time and consideration.
My Gums Are Receding And I Have Tooth Ache All The Time. How Could I Afford To Have Treatment?
Monday, February 10th, 2014Hi Dr Moore. I have really bad teeth, they are very yellow and my gums are receding terribly. I also suffer with tooth ache all the time and my face swells too. I am very depressed due to my appearance and need something done quickly. I also have 4 missing near the front which looks absolutely terrible. I have not got a lot of money but some family members are willing to help me out if I find someone who can do help with the mess my mouth is in. Can you tell me which procedure I need for a smile to be proud of. Thank you, I hope you can help.
I’ve Been Terrified Of The Dentist Ever Since I Got Work Done In My Twenties. Now I’m 55, Is The Any Hope For A New Smile?
Friday, February 7th, 2014Dr Moore, I’ve been terrified of the dentist ever since I got work done in my twenties. I have not been since and as you can imagine my teeth are pretty bad. I still have 5 front teeth on my top and 9 on my bottom set. The back ones are in bits literally. The teeth are worn down, is there any hope for me? My personal and social life is being affected as I am avoiding photographs and going to social gatherings. I am 55 years old and would like a smile back before it’s to late if it isn’t already.
My Son Was Advised That He’ll Have To Pay £150 Toward A New Bridge As The HC2 Certificate Has Changed. Is This True?
Monday, January 20th, 2014Hi, my son had a front bridge which has broken as he’s grown. He had his last one for 10 years and he’s now 24. He has recently tried a denture without success as his new dentist was reluctant to replace the bridge (my son has left home now and is a student and has MS and has a HC2 certificate). He could not eat with the denture having to take it out to eat and it affected his speech, the tiny front tooth snapped off after 3 weeks. The dentist has said it will probably happen again as it’s so fragile. My son was advised he’ll have to pay £150 towards new bridge as HC2 has changed – but we can find no evidence of this – and it’s cosmetic. Is it cosmetic if the back of his adjacent teeth were previously ‘shaved’ to hold his old bridge, are they vulnerable if just left? Or will he have to pay £8000 for implants across all three teeth? Is what this dentist says correct? I will pay the £150 if this is correct as he needs this doing for his well being. Many thanks.
I Have A Denture And I’m Thinking About Getting Veneers. Or Is There Another Procedure That I Could Have To Get The Smile I Always Wanted?
Friday, January 17th, 2014 Hello,
I have a denture in my top row of teeth at the front and was thinking about veneers. Is it possible to have veneers even though there is no tooth there? How much roughly would it cost for me to have veneers? Or is there another procedure that I could have to get the smile I always wanted? What is the length of the procedure? I have already inquired about an implant but I had a scan and it revealed that their is not enough bone for me to have the implant.
Thanks.
I Drink A Lot Of Tea And My Teeth Are Becoming Loose. Will I Need A Denture Or Is There Something Else I Can Do?
Wednesday, December 11th, 2013Hi Dr Shaffie. What are my options if my two front teeth are becoming loose? They feel loose and they are not stable. What are my options if my two front teeth are rotting out? I do not know if they are rotting out or not but I am worried they are. I drink a lot of tea. But I brush my teeth three times a day. But my mother had to have dentures in her early thirties and I was worried about my teeth
I do not want to leave the gaps in my mouth especially my two front teeth. Is there a way to put two fake teeth in and attach them to my gums? Thank you I hope you can answer my queries.
