Q. I had a crown which has fallen out, along with the crown coming out the root fell out as well. It is one of the teeth near the front, top row. What advice would you give and is it expensive?

A. My advice here is free.An initial examination at StJohns Dental in Birmingham is free , call 0121 643 0610 for details.A missing tooth can be replaced by an NHS denture ( lowest cost £198) a bridge or a dental implant ( Private treatment fee guide (£2000-3000 per tooth ) Obviously you also need to make sure that no other crowns or teeth are in poor condition before staring Regards Robwww.e-dentalpractice.co.uk

Worried to loose tooth due to my grinding habit can I have veneers?

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:01:16 +0000

Q. Hello I grind my teeth a lot in my sleep and sometimes during the day when I am nervous or stressed. My dentist gave me a hard retainer which did not work. He then gave me a softer one which I chewed through. I now sleep with the hard one in and the soft one on top of that, and it helps but not completely. I am now starting to chew through them both. I have a lot of headaches, mainly tension ones, and I often wake up with tension in my neck and shoulders. I have also started to notice that my teeth have become much more sensitive and I am worrying that I am slowly grinding my teeth away and exposing nerves! I was wondering if I do (fingers crossed I don’t), would I be able to get veneers? Also would i get them free or would I pay? And if I did would they be made of something strong enough to put up with my grinding? Thanks!

A. Veneers would not be a good idea as you will break them. The hard splint is what I would recommend - it will need adjustments as your jaw settles into its correct position. Once this has happened the muscles should relax.

Awful tooth due to bulaemia would like some treatment.

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:47:44 +0000

Q. Hi ia was wondering if u can get anything done about ur lower teeth. i had bulemic an anerexia when i was younger and my teeth are very decayed and worn. i already have a venner on the top teeth. last christmas i tried to kill my self and now my teeth are making me feel bad about myself again.

A. The limiting factor may be the extent of the decay rather than the erosion caused by Bulaemia. Counselling in conjunction with dentistry would seem a sensible first approach.

Uneven shaped teeth needs to be analysed for the correct treatment.

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:36:16 +0000

Q. Between the ages of 17 – 19 I had traditional braces. I am now 29 and find that my teeth have relapsed over time as my dentist warned they might. I wear a nightly retainer (which is a replacement if one I had and broke) but my teeth aren’t as they were when I first had my brace removed. The main issues are: a small ‘Madonnaesque’ gap between my front two teeth and the teeth wither side of those are rather short. I was wondering between veneers, invisalign and lumineers what I could consider to correct the problem. I want something that will completely close the gap without too much damage to my teeth which are white and in very good condition.

A. If the teeth are poorly shaped veneers will be the best option – lumineers are just a branded veneer.If the teeth are a nice shape then I wold recommend another brace ( may be invisalign or lingual braces) . Once the teeth are in a good position then I would recommend a fixed retainer – V loop retainer allows you to floss your teeth and holds the teeth in their corredt position

After root canal tooth has broken partially can it be fixed?

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 07:07:12 +0000

Q. Rob, Over a year ago I received a root canal on an upper molar while I was in the US, but recently a quarter of the tooth has broken. I was wondering how much it would cost to fix the tooth? Thank you in advance.

A. The average price for crowns and onlays is between £350-800 for private treatment. Assuming that the root canal is secure. Rob

Explain me on different disciplines in Cosmetic Dentistry.

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 06:26:50 +0000

Q. Hiya, I am in year 10 and planning to be a cosmetic dentist, however, I am really confused! Are there different fields within cosmetic dentistry? I was under the impression that a cosmetic dentist is a specialist in just vaneers etc… That is what I want to specialise in. Please could you help me, i’m really confused about it all! Thank you very much for your time.

A. Cosmetic dentistry involves many disciplines including function of teeth / jaws, gum and tooth health, orthodontics and restorative dentistry. It is not just about sticking veneers on teeth. It is great that you are interested in dentistry but cosmetic dentistry is about making profound changes to someone’s teeth in relation to not just how they look but how healthy and how they function to make sure that they last a long time. Work hard and join us in the wonderful world of cosmetic dentistry.
