For Fashion, I’ve Always Wanted A Gold Front Tooth. Is This Something Cosmetic Dentists Specialise In?

Friday, March 21st, 2014
Q.

Hi there Dr Patel. I hope you can help me. I have always wanted, for reasons relating to fashion, a gold front tooth in the form of a crown either on the whole tooth or a rim surrounding the tooth.
Is this something you offer, or can you give me advice as to which cosmetic dentists specialise in this? Perhaps you yourself could offer this treatment? I live in North London but travel is of course not really an issue!
Can you perhaps email me some pictures, fact-sheets, prices etc, as a guide.
I would be most grateful if you could help me with this as it’s a unique question.
With kind regards.

My NHS Dentist Has Recommended Gold Crowns, What Are The Alternatives Available To Me?

Friday, August 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi I’m writing in because I am 52 and have always grinded my teeth a bit so consequently my teeth have worn down and now I have difficulty chewing without it hurting. I have also told that I also need root canal treatment on one tooth. Unfortunately the NHS have only offered me gold teeth fillings as an option but I really do not want to end up with a mouth full of gold, I just don’t think it will look very nice.I think they’ve offered gold because it’s a strong material isn’t it? And it’ll be suitable for what I need as my teeth have become rather week from the grinding over the years.Would implants be an option for this sort of complaint? I think it’s probably just 4 teeth that actually need fixing? Thanks for your time any help will be great.
