I’ve Been Wondering What The Best Way Is To Fix The Gaps Between My Front Teeth?

Monday, November 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie. I’m 19 years old and I have two big front teeth with a gap between them and I’ve been wondering what the best way to fix them? I want to make them smaller and close the gap because it’s really irritating me, especially when I smile or laugh. My other problem is that I have dental caries, which used to be one tooth but now I have three teeth with large holes in them. I also have holes between my teeth and I’m asking if I want to do a filling. How does the dentist reach the places between the teeth? Hope to hear from you and receive your advice.

I Am Currently Suffering From Some Bone Loss, Does This Mean I Will Need Dentures As I Am 60 Years Of Age?

Friday, October 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie, My question concerns my top jaw which is made up mainly of crowns and bridges that have been in added at different times over the last 20 years or so, and my dentist has told me there is getting to be a big gap between the crowns and the bone of my jaw under my gums. The bone is wearing away which seems to be the problem causing the gap. Does this mean I will have to have dentures or can something be done about this? I am now 60 years of age.  Thanks, I hope you can help me with my request in due time.

How Much Does It Cost To Have Some Wire Bonding To Fix A Gap Opening Up, And Is This The Correct Procedure?

Monday, October 7th, 2013
Q.

Hi
I recently closed my 3.5mm wide front teeth gap with Orthofill band it only took me almost 2 months but now I have gap in each side so I start wearing the band for the four front teeth but I know it will create another gap eventually. Some one advised me to do small wire bonding for my two front teeth so they don’t re-open back but I haven’t got a clue how much it would cost me and with the other gaps I have do you think doing bonding can be the solution and if it is what sort of price am I looking? Thank you for taking your time out.

I Need Work On My Overbite So I Can Finally Feel Confident, What Type Of Treatment Do You Suggest?

Monday, September 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I really hope you can help me, I have gaps in my upper top teeth and I really want to close them. I need some advice on what to do to get them closed. I really hate my teeth and it’s always knocked my confidence. I also have a slight overbite which I hate, and the gap is fairly big between my top teeth. I would love cosmetic surgery as I feel that I am too old for braces and I want a fast result. I have no confidence when I smile because of the gap between teeth and I really want it closed. It would make me so much happier. My gums are very exposed to so I have a gummy smile. Thank you for your consideration. Please help me!!

The Gaps In My Teeth Are Getting Me Down, What Can I Do?

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’ve recently suffered with gum disease and I’ve been to my dentist to get it sorted out, and she said my bone tissue was OK. After cleaning and scraping I had some antibiotic chips placed under my gums, they are much better now and the swelling has all gone down, but it has left small gaps in all the front of my teeth. I’m not liking how it looks, is there anything I can do to rectify this? as it’s just depressing me the way it looks. I’ve always been a pretty confident person, and now I don’t want to go out and talk to people as I’m very paranoid about how it looks, I did smoke for 25 years but I have now stopped for a year, I have heard about bonding and porcelain teeth but you will know better than me, could you please advise me? Thank you very much.

Is Bonding Useful For Closing A 4mm Gap Between My Two Front Teeth?

Thursday, August 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I have a 4mm gap between my two front teeth and I am looking at getting it fixed. All of the rest of my teeth are fine and I have no other gaps at all. My teeth are also perfectly straight. Would bonding be possible here or is the gap too large? I don’t want veneers because I don’t want to lose any of my natural tooth structure. I really want the gap closing and bonding seems to be the best way from what I have read but as I said I’m unsure of the procedure and if it would be suitable for me. I would just love a general idea or if there’s anything else you can suggest? That would also be great. I would just like an idea so I can gather the funds to have this fixed once and for all. Many thanks.

A Molar Tooth I Had Filled Has Become Very Painful, What Should I Do?

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi Doctor Hughes. A molar tooth that has a filling redone about 8 months ago has become extremely painful.There is a dull ache on this tooth and it also looks as if there is a small gap between tooth and gum. I suffer from constant twinges when eating hot and cold food too. What is likely to be the problem here? There is a tooth next to it that was removed last year and the one on the other side is bent inwards and that does have a small hole in it. I know that’s probably another problem in its self but what do you think? I would like a general idea before I decide to visit my dentist, will this cost a lot to fix up do you think? Thank you for your help.

I Want A Hollywood Smile, How Much Would This Cost?

Friday, March 1st, 2013
Q.

I was just wondering how much it usually is to have the ‘Hollywood smile’ I have a gap at the front of my teeth, and they’re very small.
I would just like to find out the price to have not maybe a full set but a selected few of top and bottom teeth? I’m not sure what the best option would be, but I would really like to consider this. I just need to know the financial side to things and the best pathway in which to go down. I am very convinced by having this procedure and I think it will give me much much more self confidence as at the minute I do not smile with my ‘teeth’ out. It’s just not me!
Help me help me help me!
Thank you

Is an implant suitable for filling a gap in my bottom teeth?

Thursday, December 6th, 2012
Q.

I have a gap in bottom teeth, can I get an implant or what else do you suggest I do to solve this? I have severe receding gums I just want a nice smile. I’ve been to the dentists but the plaque builds up quicker than ever. No amount of brushing fixes this. The gap in my teeth started 10 years ago and now looks as if I’m missing a tooth. The other teeth next to the gap are starting to slope and look crooked. Please advice on what I can do and how much it would cost? Thank you
