Can I Get Braces or Veneers on the NHS?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Gambroudes. I am currently on income support, so am unable to afford private dental treatment. I’ve had major mental health problems due to issues I’ve had with my teeth and the way they look. I suffer from depression and major anxiety as a result of the state of my teeth. The way they look is so upsetting to me and it plays on my mind every day, I feel as though I can’t go to social events because people will stare at me. Would I be able to get braces or veneers on the NHS due to the mental health impact on my life? I never go out due to people looking aand judging me based on my teeth. Thank you.

Can the NHS help me with crowns and veneers following an accident?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I was involved in an RTA last February, I lost 1 tooth and had a lot of damage to my other 4 front teeth. The NHS dentist I went to did (in my opinion) a really poor job. They patched them up with filler, using two different types so they don’t even match! The sizes are wrong and the bridge he put in sticks out like a sore thumb. I had root canal on both my upper two front and and the damage on one was half the tooth missing. I’ve had to go back as the filler has come off twice. Surely I need crowns or veneers? I cannot afford to go private. Where do I stand getting this sorted on the NHS? I’m 31 and have taken really good care of my teeth, check ups every 6 months/brushing/flossing. I’ve never even needed a filling so this is all very upsetting.

I have been suffering from tooth pain for around 4 years now after having root canal surgery, what’s causing this problem?

Q.

Hello,  i have suffered from tooth pain in my left side canine tooth for about 4 years, which was treated with antibiotics but the pain never went. 2-3 years ago I had a root canal performed on it, since I still experience pain and i have told my dentist several times he gives x-rays every time but says there’s nothing wrong, the tooth has dullness now and looks rather awful, and i now experience pain in the canine but on the right side also it’s very similar pain, but not as agonising. I’m fed up of my dentist I feel fobbed off constantly, I’m wondering if I should demand to be referred to hospital regarding it. I’d be really grateful for your opinion. Thank you.

Can my son be treated by a cosmetic dentist, or will he have to go to a hospital?

Monday, August 1st, 2011
Q.

My son was told that he could have dental implants to replace the 3 teeth, two dead and one lost, (which he damaged when he was 13) when he was fully grown at 18. Because his jaw also got damaged in this accident, he was told he would possibly need a bone transplant.

My question is, can a cosmetic dentist deal with this, or does this require hospital treatment? And how does this affect the overall cost?
