The Gaps In My Lower Teeth Are Getting Me Down, What Would Help?

Thursday, May 30th, 2013
Q.

Hi there Dr Moore, I have a problem with my teeth that I really hope you’ll be able to help me with Basically, I have a gap in my lower bottom teeth and it does lower my confidence. I have been to my dentist but have been told there’s not much that can be done. As I want it completely closed I wanted to know how much the treatment would be and how much it would cost as I am on benefits at the moment. Most of my bottom teeth have spaces and gaps between them but it does not bother me as much as the gap between my the two lower front teeth. I am desperate to find an affordable cost to get it sorted. I really hope you are able to help.

Many thanks.

Should I choose a traditional or maryland bridge to replace four lower teeth?

Monday, March 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am currently choosing between a traditional or maryland bridge, and wondered if you could offer an expert opinion on the decision. The cost is about the same, and it is needed to bridge the gap between my lower incisors, so is needed to replace four removed teeth. I have been advised that the main risks are nerve problems for the crowns that have to be done for the conventional bridge, and the risk of dislodging for the maryland bridge, but that they maryland may be the better solution when fewer missing teeth are involved. Would you be able to offer any advice please?

Which type of veneers are best for lower teeth?

Friday, April 8th, 2011
Q.

Which type of veneers are most appropriate for lower teeth? I have heard that the new, thinner (non-prep?) veneers cannot be used for lower teeth due to stresses exerted on them during biting. Is this correct?

Can I have discreet clear braces on my bottom teeth?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I’m 23 years old and I’m having braces fitted in a few weeks. I discussed with my orthodontist about having Radiance brackets.

Q.
I’ve recently (3 days ago) had porcelain veneers on my front two teeth as the bottoms were chipped and the fillings kept breaking off. The dentist fitted porc. veneers as a solution, but filled the gap I didn’t want filled and the teeth are shorter than originally, and now I have a speech impediment as I can’t pronounce the letter F without sounding like Daffy Duck. What are my rights in being able to have these changed at no fee?,

How can I prevent my gum recession from getting worse and is there any surgery to fix this?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I have got receding gums which are particularly bad on the lower teeth. I brush, floss and see the hygenist regularly but I think the recession is hereditary and it seems to be getting slightly worse. I have 2 questions: How can I prevent the recession from getting worse? Could you tell me a bit about gum surgery and how this would work with my receding gums please? How much would it cost? (there are 6 teeth that are most affected on the bottom) How long does it last? etc. Many thanks in advance for your advice, Janey,
