Can My Veneers Be Replaced Under Sedation?

Monday, April 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Bohara,

Approximately 15 years ago my front tooth (top) cracked and I was given veneers on my two front teeth. I believe these have now run their course and require replacing as they feel like they are coming away from my teeth and they no longer meet my gums.

I believe that the cracked tooth is dying and that I need a root canal treatment to fix it, and that both veneers would need to be replaced. In addition to all of these things, my teeth are quite badly discoloured and I am frightened to take any steps to whiten them in case I damage the veneers further or end up with some white teeth and some discoloured teeth.

To make matters worse I am absolutely terrified of the dentist or having any work done on my teeth so I have been putting this off for some time now (I needed to be sedated to remove one wisdom tooth). However I am frightened my front tooth will fall out and then I’ll have no choice but to do something.

Please could you tell me what options are available to me in terms of treatment, sedation (conscious or not) and likely cost?

Many thanks.

Do You Know Where I Can Get My Denture Treatment Done Under Sedation?

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013
Q.

HI my question is….

I unfortunately have to wear full dentures due to a massive phobia of dentists. I have a full top set but require further work on my bottom teeth and have in place a denture.. Is there anywhere where I can have sedation to get this work done. I would love to have a fixed denture but I think it will be too expensive but however I’m not sure on the old style denture as afraid it’ll be loose and possibly fall out all the time. Please please advise me on where to go. I live in the Oxford area and would like the work done asap. Also if possible could you give me an approx cost.. Please note I must be under sedation for the work to be carried out.. Many Thanks.

I Need Dental Work But I’m Scared Of Needles. What Can I Do?

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Andrew Moore, I have a really big fear of having a needle in my mouth. I need to have some extensive dental work and multiple teeth removed. Is sedation dentistry an option here because I don’t see the work being done without it? I only have eight teeth left of my uppers. They have began to shift and one is broken to the gumline. I would like to have them removed and replaced with dentures if possible. Can you tell me my options here? Any advice you can give I would appreciate. I look forward to reading your response, Thank you

Some of my front teeth have rotted and broken off, I don’t know what to do, please help!

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi there Dr Moore, unfortunately I haven’t looked after my teeth and all my top teeth have rotted very badly ,broken off .
Especially the front row .
This has left me so depressed and has affected my social and working life badly .
I am ashamed to open my mouth,and too embarrassed to see a dentist .The longer i am leaving this the worse it is getting .
I guess I need them all to be extracted and to get a denture, this is how bad they are! What sort of costs would I be looking at ,and do any dentists specialise in working with people with my problem? I am very dental phobic and need a gentle dentist who can be patient with me. Thank you in advance.

Can you remove my infected wisdom tooth before I move to New York next week?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi Mr Hughes,
I recently saw my local dentist who told me my wisdom tooth is infected and I need to have it removed. Trouble is, I move to NYC next week and was told that I would have to referred for a hospital consultation. I am currently not in any pain, but am aware it could flair up at any time and of course I don’t want this to happen when in the states. I wondered how much it cost to have it removed privately or if there’s anyway I could have this surgery sooner. Also I am also concerned that I have already had 4 teeth removed when I had braces as a teenager and I am worried that it’s not good to have any more out as it can change to shape of your face in due time.

Many thanks.

I’m about to have several teeth extracted but why do I have to wait weeks for my new dentures?

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012
Q.

I have finally visited a dentist after 20 years, knowing that many teeth have to be removed. My dentist is nice, but I dont think she realises how terrified I am and have been. I have had three teeth out already, and have a temporary denture, which is white compared to my teeth. Thats okay, I can cope with that. I now have to have five more out. The two front ones and either side. She says I will have to hibernate for a couple or so weeks while I wait for my dentures, but that is putting me off having the teeth removed, never mind the terror I feel about the removals. Also there seems to be choices as to the materials the teeth are made of, which she has not given me the option of. I only know this because i have been researching as you do. A little bit of knowledge and all that. But at the end of the day, its my look and mouth and face. I am worried. Can you help with my concerns.
