Q. I am aged seventy two and I have had upper crowns and bridges for about twenty five years, now two of the teeth are crumbling inter palatally. This involves the left central incisor and the canine tooth. The remedy which has been suggested is to cut of my bridge between the central incisors, have the teeth removed on the upper left and then have implants. Until I get a new bridge I will need to wear dentures, the estimated cost for this is £9k. There will be two dentists involved in this; one says that I must stop smoking and the other dentist say that I do not need to. At present I am hoping that “cosmetic bonding” is an alternative. My questions are. Could “cosmetic bonding” prevent the offending teeth from additional crumbling? If implants are the only solution, will I need to stop smoking? Many thanks.
A. Bonding is a good temporary solution although if the teeth need to come out then it might not work that well. If you have implants stopping smoking will help improve the success rate.

Q. Hi Dr Moore My dentist recently fitted a new (procera inceram) crown for me to replace an old crown. It is my big front incisor on the top. He has done a good job with the shape and colour but I can still see a blue line at the margn. My natural smile shows my gum line and the main reason I asked for a new crown was that several friends got crowns that seem to be like real teeth and have subgingival margins. When I asked my dentist for a new crown I made it clear money was not a consideration and that cosmetic appearance was my priority regardless of cost. But on fitting my new crown it is most definitely at least half a mil short of my gums and not much of an improvement over my last crown. Should I sack the dentist I have had since a child on the grounds he is a dinosaur. or should I quietly go behind his back?
A. Go back to him to voice your concerns, it maybe that the crown could be remade with a more sub-gingival margin.

Q. My 23-year-old daughter has a 6 tooth bridge across one incisor to the other. This was because she was missing 2 laterals. This was done instead of implants because of severe bone loss of the missing laterals and not enough space for implants. She did have braces but unfortunately had an orthodontist that didn’t know what he was doing, causing these problems. An excellent prosthodontist suggested either redo braces and gum grafting or a bridge. For monetary reasons and my daughter not wanting go through this all over again for years she chose a bridge. This is when she was 19. Is it possible for her to get implants and crowns or once a bridge, always at bridge?
A. It doesn’t sounds like anything has changed regarding the space or bone for implants and now the teeth have been trimmed (i presume) it isn’t really worth considering replacing everything. If the bridge starts to fail then the situation may change and implants may become an option then.

Q. Dear Mr Bohara, My top central incisors or the teeth shown when u smile closest to the nose. Have been pushed outwards to such a degree that, when i smile you cannot see many teeth and definitely not my top set of teeth. This is highly embarrassing for me, are there anyways i can push them back in??. I presume this was caused due to the fact that, i used to suck my thumb throughout my child hood. Causing my teeth to be pushed outwards. What can i use to push my teeth inwards? can i use removable retainers? rather than fixed braces??
A.
Hi
Your possible options may be
1. damon braces
2. invisalign
Of course you would require a full examination, to give you a definitive treatment option. I hope this helps.

Q. I would like to know if it is possible to have a tooth implant fitted under the following circumstances: My permanent lateral incisors were removed when I was a child (roughly 6yrs old) before they could grow after an accident which fractured my jaw. I have had dentures, bridges and now have one crown fitted on one side and nothing on the other. I am now 37 yrs old.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the site that requires the implant needs to be assessed to check there is enough room both height, and width wise for the dental implant and that there is enough bone. hope this is helpful.

Q. I have 4 incisors instead of 6 (upper teeth) – the 2 incisors adjacent to the front 2 teeths are missing from childhood. I have gaps between all theh 4 incisor teeths. I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of the gap. Also, what could be an estimate expense in terms of money and pain.
A. Thanks for your questions, it may be possible to have Orthodontic treatment to close the gaps between the teeth or failing this veneers may be an option. Although the price for Orthodontic treatments will vary between systems and practices, the costs currently start from £999 at my practices. For veeners, you should expect to pay between £450 and £650 per veneer. I hope this helps.

Q. Hi i was wondering if you could help me? II desperatly need to get cosmetic dentistry and was wondering if i could get it done on the NHS? I have no adult lateral incisors only baby ones and one of them has come out but the other one is still there and i desperatly dont want it to come out but i know that eventually it will. It makes my mouth look horrible and i hate smiling and laughing in front of people because im ashamed of what my smile looks like as soon as i open my mouth. i really affects my self asteem and it is hard to bite into things in case i knock out the remaining tooth. I have been wanting to persue in modeling as well and i have been accepted with pictures i have sent in but my mouth is allways closed in my photos and i am certain that if i go for an interview as soon as i open my mouth they will show me the door again. I am desperate to get my mouth corrected as it is making me very unhappy. please write back soon.
A.
Thanks for your questions, unforunately there are very few cases when a patient will be able to undergo cosmetic dentistry on the NHS. You may wish to consider attending a private practice for a free initial consultation, which many offer, as this would enable you to get an idea of the costs of the treatment you desire. Many of these practices will be able to offer payment options such as interest free credit, to help you spread the cost. I hope this helps.

Q. Dear Dr. Solanki, Having always looked after my teeth, I am very dissapointed to see that the enamel is visibly disintergrating on my inscisors. Twenty years ago the same problem occured and I was given crowns on my two front teeth, which I know feel look too large for my mouth. I am unsure what to do. I have a problem visiting the dentist (though I always do),having had a few unhappy experiences. I would be very grateful for your advice
A. Thanks for your questions. If you are considering having crowns fitted on your incisors, I would recommend that you visit your dentist to discuss this with them. I would also recommend that you ask your dentist to have a wax up created by the laboratory that would be making your crowns. This would involve the dentist taking impressions of your teeth as they are, so that the laboratory would be able to create a realistic impression of how they would look with crowns. To create the perfect look, you may also wish to consider having your front crowns replaced at the same time, but I would recommend that you explain to your dentist prior to any work, exactly what you dislike about your existing crowns. You may also wish to consider gaining a second opinion, by visiting a cosmetic dentist and having them create a wax up as well. This should give you a good idea of what it would be possible to acheive. Many cosmetic dental practices will offer a free initial consultation, which would enable you to gain their opinion without financial loss. I hope this information will be useful to you, but urge you to contact me again should you require any further assistance.
Kind regards

Q. yesterday my two front lower teeth moved and when i got home i notice their where turning black from the bottom and is soo weird because my teeth are healthy soo my question is am i going to be a 20 year girl missing two teeth?:(
A. It may be that you have hit these these causing them to become lose. Otherwise it maybe that over time your teeth have moved and you have only just noticed.
Please book an appointment with a dentist.

Q. I was born without incisor teeth but the eye teeth grew in where the incisors should be. On the left side there is no gap for an incisor to go and on the right side, the gap is very small. My incisor teeth are right next to my front teeth. How do I get these teeth when there is no room in my mouth? what are my options?
A. You need to have a consultation the options would either be closing the residual spaces or opening the spaces and then adding 2 new teeth.

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.

Q. Hi My two front teeth protude outwards whilst my incisors next to them also but only slightly. This causes an overbite as the top and bottom jaws dont match up. I have no gaps and was wondering if the Inman aligner or 6 month smile will fix the overbite enough to stop the overlapping. Obviously, I would need a consultation which i dont mind but is there the optiom of free initial consultation so I have an idea of prices and what options are available at your clinic?? Thanks
A. Hi,

Q. My daughter, who is nearly 6, lost both of her incisors at the same time. Two months later her canines fell out. My concern is that although one of her incisors has grown through the other one hasn’t. And as already mentioned her canines are also now beginning to show through even though they fell out two months laster. I am worried that she has not got an incisor to come out and I was wondering whether if this can be possible and if so what can I do to help her. No one in our family has ever had this problem, although I have read on the internet that adult teeth in children can sometimes be missing and that it is genetic. Please help. How long should I wait before I can be sure that she hasn’t got a tooth to come out.
A. I would ask your dentist to take an x-ray of the area to check the teeth erupting. She is quite young, the teeth maybe under the gum as they don’t always come through in pairs at the same time

Q. I have a gap on my top fron incisors which is slowly expanding (at 2mm at the the moment). one of them is also rotated clockwise by 5 degrees. How can this be fixed as economically as possible?
A. You might need to see a dentist for some quotes regarding orthodontic treatment, you might also consider using white filling to bond to the teeth to make the gap look smaller

Q. My front incisor which was capped but supporting the smaller incisor beside it via a titanium (I think?) pin, broke off at gum level yesterday leaving a large gap! What are my options? Can you use the healthy root of the main incisor as the anchor for a pin? The canine tooth beside the smaller incisor is completely in tact. Could the ‘floating’ incisor be mounted on that? What would all of that cost – roughly if it’s at all possible that is?
A. Without assessing your mouth i really cannot advise you on your options and there are many factors that have to be considered.
I advise that you book in with your dentist to have an assessment and an xray taken of this area. Then you will be in the position to be correcly advised of all your options.

Q. I have two ?incisors at the front of my mouth that look much bigger than the two next to my two front teeth (top). Basically for a straight smile can they be trimmed or is this being daft?
A. The 2 upper central incisors should be bigger. However if they are out of proportion then some adjustment could be a good way of improving their apperance
