Q.

I would like to have the 2 veneers replaced on my front teeth. Both natural teeth have silver fillings which now give a grey impression. My veneers are about 15 years old though.

Also I have a missing tooth (top right) and beside that I have a temporary crown (and bridge). The problem is my gum has receded and I would like a skin graft to resolve this. So I also need an implant & crown .

This treatment will be a huge investment for me as the cost will be high. How can I be certain of finding the right dentist & being happy with the results?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Q.

Hello Dr Hughes,

I just have a question and need some advice. I have just been to a dentist as my gums have receeded pretty badly, the dentist told me i would need cosmetic surgery to build up the bone and gum again, can you advise me on any treatment to prevent it from getting any further and if there are any places where i could go to have it fixed but pay monthly instalments?
