Would I be able to get veneers on the NHS?

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I have had caps on one of my teeth (top front teeth) on 2 occasions as my the bottom of my tooth was chipped quite badly playing football when younger, but they keep falling off. My teeth are also very sensitive, I have used toothpaste for this for atleast the last year but it hasn’t helped.

I have spoken to some people about this when teeth is the topic of conversation and on a few occasions veneers have been mentioned. I’m not in a position where I have the funds to pay for private veneers after a quick search on Google, but have seen that veneers through the NHS are rather inexpensive.

Given my brief description of my situation, would veneers at NHS prices ever be granted? I am willing to try other solutions also. I have an appointment next week with my dentist, but just thought I would ask here first to see if it would even be worth mentioning.

Thanks for your time.

Can I Receive Some Financial Help In Order To Replace Old Crowns?

Monday, June 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, I wondered if you could help me with something? I had my four front upper teeth crowned about 16 years ago, due to my gums receeding i now have gaps along the top of three of them , which causes food to get trapped and looks unsightly. i would also at some point like to get some teeth whitening done.
I am unemployed due to redundancy 6 months ago. However I do not claim any benefits and so am very short on money but I do feel I need the work doing . How much should i expect to pay to have my crowns redone and can i get any help with cost? Do you think I will have to have them replaced often due to the nature of my gum recession? Should I look into gum grafts do you think?  Any help would be much appreciated, thank you and kind regards.

How Much Is It To Go Private For My Veneers Or Will The NHS Do Them?

Thursday, May 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’m 23 and have a big gap between my front two teeth and then two very small teeth either side, I also have stains (from when I was born) on my front teeth. I am very aware of my teeth and how they look. It knocks my confidence and soemtimes I can get quite down about their appearance which obviously impacts on how I act with people and could potentially be limiting me. I went to my NHS dentist but my dentist won’t give me veneers as he says there is nothing medically wrong with my teeth, I don’t have any fillings. How much is it to go private or can I get this treatment on the NHS? Thank you for your help.

How Much Would A New Bridge Cost From A Private Dentist?

Friday, May 10th, 2013
Q.

I have had a bridge made and fitted on the NHS for my two bottom front teeth, I am not happy with it at all. The false teeth are “taller” than my own teeth, a different colour, keep coming loose ( have to keep going back to the dentist to have it re- cemented which costs me £18 each time) gap at the bottom which has left me with a lisp that is getting worse. In the last six months the dentist has put a white filling between my two front teeth as I have a gap on three occasions and they have all fallen out within two days. The previous white filling I had for about three to four years. I would appreciate a quote for a bridge for my two bottom front teeth and having a white filling to fill the gap in my two front top teeth. As a result of these issues I have gone from a confident outgoing person to a recluse.

Kind Regards.

Why Do I Keep Losing Teeth?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
Q.

After leaving my private dentist years ago i went back to nhs dentist in my area. Everything i visit i end up loosing a tooth x 2 now and i feel they are not carrying out the necessary work until it is too late, I’m fed up asking for them to complete all the work and have even pre booked 5 appointments. I’m sick to death now as mouth is starting to fall apart. I have lost two teeth and looks like a third is going to have come out.  I’m totally down in the dumps and this has taken away my confidence in a big way, even though the teeth aren’t front facing i feel awful and avoid smiling as i appear to have a gaping black hole when I smile .. its looks dreadful and considering i had such a lovely smile i feel my teeth are simply not looked after when visiting . Never do they polish or clean them. just seems to big issues like teeth removal or a cap etc.

what do I do ?

I Am Ashamed Of My ‘Goofy’ Teeth, Can I Get Veneers On The NHS?

Monday, April 15th, 2013
Q.

I’ve been unhappy with my teeth for 8 nearly 9 years, once I started secondary school I got bullied because of them, the main name i got called was goofy, and now when I show my teeth I place my tongue over them so no one can see them, for many years I’ve been depressed over them. It has severely knocked my confidence but now it has come to the point where I wanna get them sorted and after researching thoroughly it seems veneers are the best way to get them sorted. I’m not the richest of people as i’m on maternity leave. I was wandering if id be able to get the veneers on the NHS?

I Am In Pain And Want All Of My Teeth Replaced With Dentures, How Much Might This Cost?

Friday, March 1st, 2013
Q.

Hello

I’m looking maybe to get all my teeth pulled and replaced by permanent dentures. Obviously I need to goto a dentist and get more information but depending on the cost for a complete set either on the nhs or private will depend if I want to enquire about it. The price is really the issue. I need to know before I can commit to having any treatment done or agreeing to any. I know cost shouldn’t be an issue when it comes to my health but I can deal with the pain in my mouth, especially when dentistry experts like to charge a arm and leg for the smallest of procedures.

Can you give me a rough price to indicated what I may be looking at spending point all work that needs done?

Can I qualify for free orthodontic treatment if I am in full time education at the age of 18?

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Andrew, I wondered if you could help me? At the age of 14, I was told by my dentist that I would require orthodontic treatment to fix my out of shape mouth.
The orthodontics couldn’t offer me treatment for another 2 and a half years, so my parents paid £1,800 for me to have it done there and then to save the wait. I was meant to have them on for 18 months, but they got removed after about a year as apparently my treatment had finished. I wore my retainer for 6 months and all was fine.
I am now 18, going to be 19 in December, and my bottom teeth are all out of shape again, and I have a big overbite of my upper jaw. I am still in full time education, can I qualify for free treatment? Even though I’ve had it before, paid for it, and it was only a temporary fix?

Many Thanks
