Q. Hi, i have about 11 silver fillings i want to get removed and replaced with white, can you tell me roughly how much you thing this would cost and if its adviseable? The dentist i went to did not give me a choice of white or silver and im so depressed with my mouth like this as my teeth are perfect on the outside…. thanks
A.
Hi
Thanks for your e-mail. The cost of replacing each amalgam filling for a white filling will vary between practices, I can only advise that at my practice the cost of white fillings starts from around £80. As you seem to be seriously considering this course of treatment, I would advise that you see a dental professional to assess whether this is adviseable as I would be unable to answer this question without a consultation. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kindest Regards

Q. ihad 3 front teeth taken out 3 days ago and partial dentures fitted. Unfortunately they very uncomfortable and all i seem to be biting on is plastic. Will they settle down? Please advise.
A. Yes they normally do but let your dentsit have another look if they aren’t settled in in 2 weeks, you could also consider alternatives such as implants or bridges.

Q. my two top front teeth are chipped and i am concerned they will chip even more is it possible to repair them, will i have to go private and hoe much roughly will it cost, as i am having trouble finding an nhs dentist.
A. I recommend you call around to find an NHS dentist in your area taking on new patients or visit www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
If you decided to go down the private route then after your examination your dentist can inform you on the costs involved in repairing this.
Kind regards

Q. Hi i just got dentures about 3 weeks ago and they still hurt abit when i chew my food. Is that normal? and also i have a infection on the roof of my mouth my dentist gave me this medication called nystatin ointment to put inside my denture it doesn’t taste very good i gag everytime i use it. how long does the infection usually last for. Thanks
A. Nystatin treats fungal infections. In general fungal infections tend to require prolonged treatments.
If you are new to dentures a small ammonut of discomfort is normal, if this continues for more than 2 weeks I would return to your dentist for further assesment.

Q. I’ve just been given my treatment plan by my dentist, and I have three different options for crowns. Despite googling all three terms, I still can’t find out the exact difference (besides the price!) Can you please tell me the difference between Porcelain, Ceramic and Procera crowns?
A. Please ask your dentist which would be the best option for you as each has it own factors to consider and without seeing your mouth i cannot advise you which to go for.

Q. I am interested in having my teeth whitened. would you recommend that I should see my local dentist or use your whitening kit. Are results guaranteed? What if I am not completely satisfied do you have a money back guarantee?
A.
No dentist will give you a money back guarantee on tooth whitening as your teeth are the limiting factor, not the product. Everybody achieves different results, some people jump 10 shades, some only 2 It is impossible to tell you what result you will achieve pre treatment. /you just have to try it. Tooth whitening is the least invasive way to achieve a whiter smile.

Q. Hi, I have been wearing a denture for 30 years, I have 3 front top middle teeth. My denture is a metal plate with 2 wires that wrap around my teeth. I have had 3-4 in total also tried acylic one at one stage of which made me keep heeving, couldn’t take to it at all. My denture now is very lose and irritating my palet and gums I expect and my dentist today suggests I have another acrylic one without wires as he doesn’t recomend the metal ones anymore. He has quoted me £198 (nhs). I was wandering if I would perhaps be able to have a Valplast one with some back teeth on as I haven’t had any back top teeth since I was 19 – 20yrs old. If I could I would rather put the £198 towards this as if I have another acylic one I may not be able to wear it again. I live in Birmingham. could you give me some idea of a price and maybe recomend someone In Birmingham. I am getting married in September this year and would love the confidence to smile. Many thanks.
A.
I do not carrie out dentuures im afriad so could not advise you onthis.
Im afriad i am not aware of any dentists in Birmingham however if you go back onto the cosmetic dentistry guide, im sure you will find someone.

Q. I always feel and do biting my inner cheeks and lips. This habit started for the past one month. The wounds disappears soon and i find my lips and inner cheeks dry. Give me some advice.
A. You need to see your dentist it could be that your wisdom teeth are causing this but there may be another reason. Go and see your dentist and explain this to him / her.

Q. I’m 15 years old, and have a gap between my two front teeth. Lots of my friends have recieved braces, but I was never offered, and I heard something about once your 16, you have to pay for them. I wondered what my options – besides braces – were for closing the gap, within a resonable price range.
A. If you have enough functional justification for NHS braces its free till 18 or 19 if your in full time education.
Simple ways to close gaps at 15 are bonding tooth coloured filling ( cosmetic bonding ) to do a Diastema closure.
Once your gum shape stabilises ( aound 18-21yrs old ) Veneers are a googd option for diastema / gapclosure.
if you pay private fees expecty around £100 per tooth, but as the gap is usually closed from both sides £200 per gap. AN NHS dentist might do a simplified procedure for free.

Q. Hi Dr Caplan, I sent a question about 3 weeks ago and haven’t seen a reply yet so I’m not sure if you received e-mail – apologies if you have received it twice. I am 48 years old and I lost one of my front teeth when I was about 13 years old, I had a fall and the dentist removed the broken tooth and fitted a false one on a pallet which I hated. About 17 years ago I had a bridge fitted which now needs attention as it is starting to wear badly. However my problem is that I have protruding front teeth that I would dearly love to have straightened (they are not so bad and they are not crooked in any way – I think the problem was caused with m
e having a dummy as a child) Am I right in thinking I cannot have an invisible brace fitted when I have a bridge? If not, what do you think my best option would be where I could have an invisible brace fitted? Can I have the bridge removed and have an implant fitted and a brace fitted then? I do hope you can help me – despite my age, my confidence is rock bottom because of this problem and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time by making an appointment. Many thanks in advance. Many thanks
A. Apologies for the late reply. for the Your problem is definitely complicated by the presence of the bridge. I have treated cases like yours where I widen the smile using veneers further back to balance the appearance of the front teeth. The treatment usually involves about 10 teeth including a new bridge. This allows me to create a beautiful smile. Invisalign may be possible to use to help achieve this but usually this is not required. Hope this helps and if you would like a free cosmetic consultation please contact my surgery.

Q. I am 47 years old and have not been to a dentist for 27 years after a quite terryfying experience. I have lost alot of teeth and apart from a few at the front bottom and top the others remaining are broken or decaying. I am scared stiff of the dentist and get panicky just thinking about it. Could you give me some idea of how I will accepted if I go. I do not want to be lectured as i am well aware of my situation. What I need is a sympathic and calming approach but I am really scred this may not be the case.
A. When I see patients such as yourself I am certainly not judgmental but concerned about treating your mouth back to health. For patients who are scared of dentistry there are a number of ways to help you through the process. In my experience most patients who are as scared as you find IV sedation a great help. They find that this technique makes them very relaxed during the treatment and also they have little memory of the event. This also allows me to carry out the best treatment possible. If this is of interest to you please contact my practice for an appointment. i look forward to meting you.

Q. hello, im nearly 28 and i remember visiting the dentist when i was very young, ive never been since. my teeth are seriously deformed, next to my front two teeth, on either side are large teeth that have grown outwards, i cant smile and its becoming a serious issue. im so depressed and need help. im scared to see a dentist out of sheer embaresment. Im also on income support. what can i do? will i ever be able to smile again. i totaly need new teeth. its wrecking my life. please help thank you
A. Its very difficult to pluck up the courage to see someone but i’m sure it will be worth it. You will qualify for free dental treatment if you can find an NHS dentsit who will take you on. Alternatively you may need to pay separatley for any cosmetic treatment you may require.

Q. Hi, I had a white restoration on a lower right molar today. After having drilled out the bulk of the old filling, my dentist was using an instrument with some force when the inner side of the tooth broke off (I felt it ‘go’ and it flew up into my line of sight). As a result, he “was not able to contour the tooth the way he would have liked to” and (now the anaesthetic has worn off) the restoration feels quite uncomfortably sensitive on the gumline and the tooth has an unnatural shape that seems to trap food when I eat and which feels weird as well. After the procedure, my dentist said that things hadn’t gone as expected and he’d “used an instrument to check how strong the tooth was and sometimes during this procedure, the tooth breaks”. Having thought about this it seems completely counter-intuitive that someone would risk breaking the structure of the tooth as he stated and I’m sceptical that he told me the truth. Is there such an instrument to test the strength of the tooth? My feeling is that it broke while he was using a ‘pick’ to try to break out some old amalgam filling in the drilled cavity. I like my dentist and he’s done really good work for me in the past, but having parted with £170 for this procedure (on top of the other charges for Hygienist Visit, X-Rays and 10 Point Exam the previous day), I suddenly lack trust in him and I’m wondering if I should spend my money elsewhere in future. I appreciate that any answer you might give is nothing more than an opinion and has no legal meaning or weight, but I’d really appreciate your take on this situation as I’m at a loss as to what I should do. Best regards,
A. go back to him and express your views there is probably a very reasonable explanation for this, it would be a shame to break down the trust you have in this dentist considering the good work he has done for you in the past.

Q. My 11 year old son is having a metal fixed brace fitted shortly to correct his front teeth on the NHS, I have asked the orthodontist if I can pay the difference to have the white brace fitted but they state that he can only go privete or NHS and cannot mix the two – is this correct?
A. This is correct as it blurs the treatment on who is responsible for the treatment, so he is correct in sticking to this rue.

Q. I just came back from a check-up at my dentist and I have been told that I have periodontal disease. I wanted to know from you what is about the range in price that it would cost for treament? I do have insurance, but I am trying to figure out if this office is overcharging for the treatment. I will have the treatment done but it might not be by that office. Second question I had is that my dentist wants to put 4 crowns across my front teeth and I wanted to know which kind of crowns is good not the ones that are most expensive on me? For example they gave me a price of $4,480.00 for all four crowns and I would like to know if this is a crazy price or a normal one?
A. periodontal treatment is difficult to cost but starting with the basics, ask how much time is being allocated and with who. For example 4x 30 mins with a hygeinist will have a different fee to 2 1 hour treatments with a periodontist specialist dentist. #est crowns can depend on the functional needs of the case but all ceramic crowns with a Zirconia core are good in most situations, try to shop around locally for hourly rates and zirconia crowns to compare prices.
