My Dentist Said He Can’t Do Anything About My Periodontal Disease, Is This True?

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I was subject to bad periodontal disease caused by smoking (I think). The bleeding went on for a long period of time before I had it seen to but by then it was far too late, the damage was done. I have the disease under control now through regular cleaning but I have lost a lot of bone apparently and gum recession of around point 4. The gaps are quite noticeable but my dentist keeps saying there is nothing that can be done. Is this true? I thought he would have been a bit more helpful! I’m looking for some sort of restorative treatment in order for my old smile to come back, I used to have such a nice smile. I just don’t believe that NOTHING can be done. Surely there is something? Can you please offer me some advice? Thank you for taking your time to read this.

If A Trainee Gives Me Orthodontic Treatment Will I receive It At A Reduced Cost?

Thursday, July 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello, Please could you tell me the best way for the 6mm gap between my front teeth to be closed? Its really started to affect my confidence and very rarely want to smile,I am 45 years old, wore a metal brace as a teenager which successfully worked, but then never wore a retainer. I read that being seen by a student/trainee, costs for treatment are reduced. Or would this kind of treatment have to be carried out in a training hospital? I would appreciate some professional advice, I’m desperate to receive some treatment but don’t earn a lot of money so that’s why I’m trying to opt for a cheaper form. Unless you can recommend some sort of financial scheme I can get a hold of? As I said, I would love some advice. So, thank you for your time.

What Should I Do After My Tooth Is Removed?

Friday, January 18th, 2013
Q.

I will be extracting a root canal tooth which is a pre-molar on my upper right arch. The tooth directly in front of it is an implant. I’ve been told that my options for tooth replacement are limited because of the implant. It was suggested that I just leave a gap there. (I do not want to get another implant).
Could you please advise me of my options for filling in the gap after my extraction.
Thank you.

What Would The Cost Be Of Closing A Gap and Straightening A Tooth?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

I have a gap inbetween my 2 front teeth an a twisted fang. Would you say this was a simple straightness of teeth or a more complicated.
I have had the gap all my life but would really like it closed. The twisted fang is not bothering me as much but if I could get them both done that would be ideal.
Is there a price range depending on if I just get the gap closed or will it be pretty much same price for both gap and fang. I Look forward to reading your response, Thanks

The brace I am using is not closing the gap in my upper teeth, would I be suitable for a dental implant instead?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi. I am 16 years old and i will be 17 in october. Dental implants have been suggested for me due to the fact that my braces are not closing the gap between my upper left teeth.I start work in september, so braces are not really an option for me anymore. How many millimetres does the gap have to be to qualify for a dental implant? How much is a consultation and can you get them on the NHS? What circumstances do you have to be under to qualify for dental implants on the NHS? Do you think I’d qualify for them? Thanks for your help! 🙂
