Q.

Hi i am 26 yrs old and have rotten, loose,cracked and completely missing teeth. i try to brush them (wots left of them) but cannot because of the massive amount of pain it causes. its destroying my confidence and makes me feel incredibly aware of the state of everybody of meet teeth good or bad. i try so hard to get to a dentist but cannot afford the dental fees and have no way of raising the kind of money it would cost. Is it possible to get my teeth repaired on the nhs and what would the possible treatment be

My dentist is closing my missing teeth gaps with braces but I want dental implants. What should I do?

Friday, November 4th, 2011
Q.

Hello there, I would like a second opinion on my orthodontic treatment! When I was 10 years old I extracted my first molar/left lower jaw as it was so decayed, the empty socket, overtime shrinked and caused my face to be uneven! When I was 17 years old, I had to remove the rest of the First molars (upper left/upper right/lower right) because of decay! Today I am 22 years old and I can notice that I am starting to age prematurely as the gaps from the molar extractions are starting to shrink, causing my face to lose its structure, hollow eyes, “collapsing face ” kind of effect so I was thinking to have bone graft (as I lost serious bone) and then dental implants. But there is one small problem! I started my orthodontic treatment 1 year ago, for a severe malocclusion from where I will have to have jaw surgery to complete the treatment. At the start of the treatment I mentioned to my orthodontist I would like to keep the (molar extraction) gaps open so I can have dental implants but at my appoiment yesterday she said she wants to close the gaps and that’s what we’ve been doing all along during the treatment. I don’t feel is a good idea as my teeth and jaw are very small anyway and I’m scared this will make it even worse../Plus looking in the mirror and seeing my face changing I don’t like what I see/aging prematurely. Now, my questions are: Is it a good idea for my orthodontist to close the gaps? If it’s not, with orthodontic treatment is she able to stretch the gaps back to original shape so I can have the dental implants? If yes, will I be able to have the dental implants during the orthodontic treatment or after/during the jaw surgery? Thank you very much!

Worried about dental implant treatment

Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Q.

I lost a lower front tooth a bit back after a root canal treatment went bad. I had a dental implant, I was told, to preserve the integrity of the adjacent teeth. A larger than usual implant was used, I was told, as perhaps I had kept the tooth in question for too long. The implant finally healed. The crown on it is suboptimal, really looks little like my natural teeth. I am now having the gum receed around the implant and on each of the adjacent teeth. A periodontist told me it’s just a difficult situation but there’s nothing to be done. The appearance is sort of third worldly. Feel as if I have been really mislead about the entire implant situation. Any advice? Thank you.

Will zirconia dental implants look the most natural?

Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Q.

I am having implants as I have lost teeth in both my upper and lower level and now my crowns & bridges on my upper level are all failing. I would like to have a natural look, if possible, not poker straight or Hollywood white but just natural. I was told that Zirconia would be better for that look than Porcelain – is that true. Is it possible to get a natural look with implants atall or will they always look somewhat false? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I need implants to replace my missing teeth, but I am worried about the cost

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I’ve been researching dental implants and I’d love to be able to get them. I have bad teeth, partly because I haven’t looked after them enough and also due to a psychological disorder (dismorphophobia caused me to brush my teeth 20 – 40 times per day in my teens/early 20’s).

Also, when I was very young, I had an accident causing the top front 4 teeth to crack and have had crowns since around age 10 – the dysmorphophobia condition stems from this.

These 4 teeth and 2 others next to the canine on the left side of the upper jaw are where I’d like implants (as soon as possible, I’d like more on the other side of the same row later).

My main question is about the cost – can the 4 teeth be replaced with 2 implants, with the other 2 teeth replaced with 1 implant along with bridges?

I don’t have good credit, so will be taking out an expensive loan to pay for the treatment, so I’d like to know if the above proposal is a reasonable request (rather than 1 implant per tooth), and one which would be a lasting solution.

Many thanks for your time.

What options do I have for replacing my rotten teeth?

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, I hope you can help. 

I have missing teeth and all remaining are rotten. I am desperate to be able to speak without feeling self conscious. I have a limited budget. I need to know how much treatment will cost and what treatments are available to me. I have never had nice teeth and am unable to smile and live my life. I have felt suicidal at times as rhis has been a problem for many years. I dont know what the cost will be but can you let me know if any treatments are available and what they would involve.

Thank you for your time and advice
