Q. Hey Dr. Solanki I have two big buck teeth that really bother me they are way big and have a gap in the middle but the rest of my teeth are pretty much straight just those two and my teeth also arent the whitest what would you recommend to fix my buck teeth and whiten my teeth?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the two options to fix your buck teeth are braces or veneers, the braces are more conservative but the treatment may take longer, the veneers are a much quicker fix but hav the draw back of the teeth needing to be filed down and also the veneers will need replacing every 10-15 years. the whitening treatments i would recommend is zoom2 whitening or enlighten.

Q. Hi there. I am 23 and one of my front teeth has been pushed forward over the years so it now sticks out. I am very self conscious about it and it affects my confidence. I’m just wondering what the best option for me is?
A. It sounds like a brace might work well. I use an Inman Aligner for mild crowding it works quickly and gives good results. Try to find a dentist close to you who can provide this treatment for you.

Q. I had cosmetic dentistry done many years ago, which included replacing my middle four front teeth (top) with crowns. One was knocked loose and subsquently I have had it removed as it was apparently so small that there was nothing for crown to hold on to. I am now using a temp denture, however a couple of things I would appreciate your advice on: 1) is there any alternative to temp denture, only I find it very painful after a while, and it looks very ugly with a thick pink plastic rim around the tooth, that does not match my gum and looks very prominent. 2) I have been diagnosed with gum disease around these crowns, and am desperately trying to work on this, but is teh denture now causing irritation to gums, as they not getting any better (p.s. gum disease appears to be around teh crowns only) I am very depressed about this situation and would give anything to be able to smile again, Many Thanks
A. Hi
Thanks for your message, you mention that you are desperately trying to work on the gum disease. Forgive me if you are already doing any of the things I suggest, but I would recommend that you attend your dentist for their advise on your gum disease. Following on from this, as well as advsie on how you can try to improve things yourself, I would recommend that you attend regular appointments with your dental hygienist.
There are other options available instead of your temporary denture, firstly there is the option of having a permanent denture made. When you have a permanent denture made, it will take 4 – 5 weeks, and the end result should be a vast improvement in both appearance and comfort from the temporary one. If this is not something you wish to consider then you may be interested in a bridge. This would involve preparing the teeth on either side and fitting a bridge ( this would have attachments for the teeth either side and a false tooth for the gap) and fitting the brdige to them. Finally you would have the option of an implant. This would not involve any preperation on your other teeth, as the implant is placed into your bone, and after a healing period, a crown that then be placed.
I hope that the above information will be of assistance to you, but encourage you to contact me again should you require any further advise.
Kindest Regards

Q. hello i wanted to know if i could get finance for my cosmetic work done , but i am on state benefits at the moment would a dentist practice approve me or is it on the basis of you having a job thank you very much
A. Dental practices usually offer finance options through outside finance companies. These companies require all the same credit checks as applying for a credit car or loan.

Q. Hi dr rob…. I am now 27 and had a number of removable braces from the age of 14-16 than a fixed brace from 16 till I was nearly 19. I was really happy with the results, but shortly after having this removed my bottom teeth all crossed over again. I did visit my orthodontist about this but told ne at the time all they could do would be to file each tooth down then put a fixed brace on again. I was concerned about the health of my teeth filing them so did not go ahead. Since I have remained unhappy with my teeth but thought there was nothing that could be done, until I heard recently about invisable braces. I would like to look into this but feel that as the job wasn’t done properly in the first place that to pay for this now would be unfair. My top teeth have now also moved since I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and now I am feeling unhappy with these also. I was also told I would never get any wisdom teeth!! What would be your suggestion for how I go treatment from here?? Kind regards
A.
My first impression is that you are unlikely to get funding for invisible braces. Also all braces need space to move teeth around and so even Clearstep or Invisalign may need “interproximal stripping” ( removing enamel between teeth) to create space. After treatment you will need to wear lifetime retainers.
Hope this helps
Rob

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.

Q. Hi there Justin, i could really use some good advice. I am hoping you can help me, my dilema is this…….. a good few years ago my dad who is a dentist put in 3 crowns on my incisors and my left lateral incisor and then a gap appeared between my 2 front teeth. I am a proffesional singer and my smile is everything to me so i was livid ! so i went to see a cosmetic surgeon near by and i have paid out a hell of alot of money to have my top 10 teeth done properly. This was september last year and i still have yet another wax up in !!! i have been 5 times to visit the lab to go over shape and size and there every time i take photots of teeth i like the look of and go over and over the shape but they cant seem to get it ? I am starting to get phobic of going back and having yet more injections and more wax up smashed out of my mouth its getting very frustrating and now one of the laterals is getting very tender and looks like a root canal might be in order. anyway the look i am going for is similer to katie prices l.a.a smile but my mouth is alot smaller and i have a small arch apparently ? so putting teeth the same size as hers just makes me look like a horse so i need get this sorted as its driving me crackers. My dentist seems insistent on using the same technition but said if all else fails he will go to the da vinci labs. I am thinking of saying its gone on long enough and to go to da vinci. what do you think ? any advice would be valuble to me. kind regards.
A. I would say that that is a good idea if the current lab you are using are not giving you the result you are looking for. The ceramist in my opinion, is just as important as the dentist in the part of a smile makeover. It is critical they can acheive the results each patient wants, as no two cases are the same.
Kind regards

Q. Hi Dr Caplan, I sent a question about 3 weeks ago and haven’t seen a reply yet so I’m not sure if you received e-mail – apologies if you have received it twice. I am 48 years old and I lost one of my front teeth when I was about 13 years old, I had a fall and the dentist removed the broken tooth and fitted a false one on a pallet which I hated. About 17 years ago I had a bridge fitted which now needs attention as it is starting to wear badly. However my problem is that I have protruding front teeth that I would dearly love to have straightened (they are not so bad and they are not crooked in any way – I think the problem was caused with m
e having a dummy as a child) Am I right in thinking I cannot have an invisible brace fitted when I have a bridge? If not, what do you think my best option would be where I could have an invisible brace fitted? Can I have the bridge removed and have an implant fitted and a brace fitted then? I do hope you can help me – despite my age, my confidence is rock bottom because of this problem and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time by making an appointment. Many thanks in advance. Many thanks
A. Apologies for the late reply. for the Your problem is definitely complicated by the presence of the bridge. I have treated cases like yours where I widen the smile using veneers further back to balance the appearance of the front teeth. The treatment usually involves about 10 teeth including a new bridge. This allows me to create a beautiful smile. Invisalign may be possible to use to help achieve this but usually this is not required. Hope this helps and if you would like a free cosmetic consultation please contact my surgery.

Q. I went two dentists the first one said he would do my smile replacing my crowns, but I had to have the back of my mouth seen to first.I Really wanted my smile done first, he said they were in a decent condition and could wait,he showed me the x rays to back up what he said.But because I wanted a smile first with said crowns I went to another dentist he seemed pleased to do the crowns then he sent me letter saying I would have to have implants and telling me allsorts of horror stories if I did not have, So like when I asked the first dentist who was happy to show me the x rays , this second dentist would not let me near them,I feel I am being manipulated into more expense treatments for the smile, after all I Saw the x rays from first dentist and I could see them perfectly clearly, but the second dentist got very agitated, all I wanted was some new crowns I can not afford 6 to 8 implants where can I go for my crowns I live in the huddersfield area what do you make of this .I am really upset
A. It sounds like you will need tthe back teeth sorting out first as is normal to create a stable chewing platform for your new front teeth. Without this base the front crowns are likely to fail very quickly. I can’t tell for sure what you need so i would go to the 1st dentist again and ask him for a full plan and costing

Q. Dear Dr. Julian, Good Day to you! Hoping that you can help me with my teeth problem it was 10 years ago that my old dentist told me that Im having full denture, to shorten my words that time we dont have money coz i came from poor family, im a filipina and recently working here in Dubai, Im planning to have my vacation and fix my teeth.. Now at this point my upper teeth is all fad
ed i dont know what the exact term or words to used. some of my teeth gone already to the point that only left little in my gums, im using false teeth for 10 years, nearby tooth is damaged. please advice me what to do and what to have? please let me know the budget i shoukd pay… thank you.. With best regards
A. It sounds like your teeth are not savable. Your options are now to have new dentures, dentures supported by implants or bridges supported by bridges. You would need to find a dentist to discuss the fees for these procedures

Q. Hi, i am a 33 year old male with very gappy front teeth. Not just the front two, but most of the upper teeth have gaps which obviously affects my confidence. Having consulted my dentist and had my teeth impressions sent to the lab, was told 4 to 7 crowns would be the best option and due to my age, a partial denture would not be recommendable. The cost involved was quite daunting however, i acknowledge that a smile for life is priceless. Do you agree that at my age this would be the best course of action to take, and a partial dentutre should be avoided. Many thanks.
A. Yes avoid a denture as I think this might affect your confidence even more, crowns and veneers should work well and last a long time.
