What is the best treatment for gum recession?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Q. I have severe gum recession and three front teeth that are loosening,one quite severely.I really find the idea of false teeth repulsive and am really worried.Is there a solution that does not involve having dentures please.Thankyou

A. The best solution is dental implants this will give you back teeth that are permanently fixed in .  You need to get a full assessment done with a cosmetic dentist that does implants.  Your bone levels will also have to be assessed.

How to protect the teeth if they have front teeth bonded?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Q. How do you protect your teeth if you have had the front teeth bonded? And what type of toothpaste should you use to keep your teeth from staining?

A. One way to protect your teeth would be to wear a night guard to protect them during your sleep.  Simple toothpasts form your local chemist/supermarket will do a good job to keep your teeth clean – you may want ot visit your hygienist as well!

Could you plz suggest some options to fund my dental treatment?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Q. hello sir Dr.Solanki,got 2thoot missing and 1front thoot in bad cond.wish to fix them asap,but havnt got all the money,so want to ask if ist possible pay any deposit,then pay monthly?i com from cz,live here from 2005,have ni number,bank acc.reference from my provident loans.thank you very much for replay.

A. Thanks for your enquiry, at a lot of practices, it is possible to apply for finance to spread the cost of your treatment. At many practices this can even be interest free, as you have been resident in the United Kingdom for more than three years, you should be able to make an application. I would expect you to have to provide both a proof of address and a proof of signtaure but I foresee no problems in qualifying to make an application. I hope this helps. Many Thanks.

Is its common to have a veneer on a false tooth and how durable?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr. Patel. I have just had a replacement bridge and whilst the two crowned teeth supporting the false tooth are well fitted the centre false tooth has a gap at the gum line and appears to be leaning out a little. The dentist has filed it to reduce the bulky appearance but this has not helped and it is not as good as the original bridge I had done 8 years ago by the same dentist. The dentist is trying hard to please me and has arranged to put a veneer on the FALSE tooth. Is having a veneer on a false tooth common and how durable will it be. I would be very pleased to receive a reply. Thank you very much. 

A. I think that putting a veneer over the tooth may not work the bridge needs to be removed and if it can be taken off in one piece can be sent to the laboratory and fixed, if not you will need a new bridge.

Q. Hello i have crooked teeth at the top front of my mouth as my second teeth go behind my front! Im going to be getting married in the next 2 years and really would like my teeth straight and white (hollywood smile. But Im unsure which is the best surgery for me eg. veneers? Many thanks

A. It may be that orthodontics or veneers could be the option for you. At my clinic we have a dentist for every field, I recommend that you book a consultation and have a treatment plan complied for you and go from there.

No room in my mouth Is there any option to get incisor teeth?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. I was born without incisor teeth but the eye teeth grew in where the incisors should be. On the left side there is no gap for an incisor to go and on the right side, the gap is very small. My incisor teeth are right next to my front teeth. How do I get these teeth when there is no room in my mouth? what are my options?

A. You need to have a consultation the options would either be closing the residual spaces or opening the spaces and then adding 2 new teeth.

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. i got hit in the mouth and now my front tooth is turning a purplish color.is there anything that can be done to the tooth to get the original color back.

A. You need to see a dentist and have an x-ray taken of the tooth it is highly likely the tooth will need root canal treatment and then could be whitened or crowned.

A. You need to try to find a dentist NHS or private ASAP perhaps one that offers treatment under intra-venous sedation to help you to relax during treatment. Once this treatment is underway you should start to get your confidence back Best wishes Andrew

I have 19 teeth left and all are problematic what do i do?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Q. I have 19 teeth left in my mouth!! They are all giving me a lot of problems, and I wake up crying due to the teeth pain!! I do not want to spend 800.00-1000.00 on each tooth. I want them all pulled and I want full dentures. How do I go about doing this?? What steps do I have to take?? Please help me!!!!

A. get three opinions from different dentists, see where they agree and where they differ. Maybe you need stable dependable teeth without spending 800 per tooth and this is possible without extracting everything.

I have broken and decayed teeth but i fear dentists plz advice?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Q. I am 47 years old and have not been to a dentist for 27 years after a quite terryfying experience. I have lost alot of teeth and apart from a few at the front bottom and top the others remaining are broken or decaying. I am scared stiff of the dentist and get panicky just thinking about it. Could you give me some idea of how I will accepted if I go. I do not want to be lectured as i am well aware of my situation. What I need is a sympathic and calming approach but I am really scred this may not be the case.

A. When I see patients such as yourself I am certainly not judgmental but concerned about treating your mouth back to health.  For patients who are scared of dentistry there are a number of ways to help you through the process.  In my experience most patients who are as scared as you find IV sedation a great help.  They find that this technique makes them very relaxed during the treatment and also they have little memory of the event.  This also allows me to carry out the best treatment possible.  If this is of interest to you please contact my practice for an appointment.  i look forward to meting you.

My dentures are very uncomfortable can u suggest what i can do?

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Q. Hi, Today i had two teeth removed top front right (next to by front tooth) I was fitted right away with a denture. Im finding it very uncomfortable and i am aware of the healing process. I cannot take out the teeth at all to clean they are so tight. Also, my bite feels completely wrong. Ive eaten nothing only soup today. The denture has an extended gum piece on.. Can this be shaved off or corrected so it is not as noticable? i can see the pink gum piece when i smile, as so will others. My mouth feels so uncomfortable right now i want to remove the denture for when i go to bed and to clean it along with my teeth, but cannot remove it. Please can you advise on my denture problem. Kindest regards.

A. This all sounds normal for a denture fitted at the time of extraction, however I would pop back to your dentist ina week for him to make the necessary adjustments after things settle in.
