Q. I have a lot of problems going on in my mouth. First off I have a gap becaue I am missing my two teeth on either side next to my canine. My canine’s have moved in the place where those two teeth should have been. Apperently I was not born with them. Near my canine tooth is my old baby canine tooth that never fell whch is loose on the left side. Then on my bottom right I had a tooth removed because it was cracked. What is your advice to fix my teeth?
A. A combination of veneers and implants works well for this type of treatment. If you would like me to take a look for you please call the practice on 01245 268 494

Q. Hi i have a gap between my to front teeth and i really dislike it alot and was woundering what the best aproach is? ive heard of dentail bonding and was woundering what are your thoughts on that? ive always wanted the top teeth made into veneers to get a perfect smile but it costs to much so thats why i was woundering about bonding and how much roughly would it cost?
A. Thanks for your questions, Dental bonding could be an option, depending on the size of the gap you are trying to close. I would expect you to pay no more than £300 for the two teeth. Your other options would be veneers, which I would expect to cost between £400 – £600 per tooth, or teeth straightening for which I currwently have treatments available from £999. There are many practices now, who are able to offer monthly payments schemes such as interest free credit to help you spread the costs of treatment. I hope this helps.

Q. Hello Doctor,I’m 13 years old. The 2 teeth to the sides of my front 2 teeth are slightly rotated and leaves a gap when I smile. I’ve been to the orthodontics and they refuse to give me treatment under the NHS. So i would like to know what the best treatment to straighten my side 2 teeth would be, also i would like to know the approximate amount of the treatment if i did it privately. Thankyou
A. You have the option of private fixed braces or invisalign, costings vary from £2000 upwards.

Q. Hi there. I have been unhappy with the gaps in my upper and lower teeth. I had them recently filled but still i have a gummy smile and not all the gaps in my lover set of teeth could be filled because the gaps were to big. What other treatments could i get to get a really nice stright smile? Thanks for your time.
A. You need to have your teeth assessed properly you may be able to have the spaces closed with braces either fixed metal or invisalign. Another option may be porcelain veneers as this could also reduce the gummy smile.

Q. In early March this year, finally my “baby tooth” cut through – in the roof of my mouth, just behind my eye/front tooth at a pointing outward angle. Nothing special really, except that I’m 43 years old. I needed dental surgery, as it was pushing my front tooth forward and making loose my 3 tooth bridge. I had the surgery at Guy’s Hosipital under the care of a lovely team. It was pretty drastic I must admitt, drilling through the front of my upper gum line to the left of eye tooth and incision/hole drilled in the roof of my mouth to extract said tooth. Nine months later however, I’m left with a widening gap of the eye/front tooth and my 3 tooth bridge is loose, and lower than my gum line. My whole gum line has changed above the bridge so that now you can actully see the metal structure of the bridge itself. The bridge used to fit snug and I never had a gap either at the top of this structure or as is now a gap between my front and eye tooth. I don’t think my upper jaw bone structure would support implants following my surgery. What would you suggest? At this point I am seriously considering a denture of some form, one that does not involve invasive surgery, but then what about the gap between front tooth and eye tooth?
A. Hi it sound like you’ve been through a lot so a denture would seem like an easy option. It might be a good short term option however I guess in the long run you would probably be more comfortable with fixed teeth. This could probably be acheived using an implant supported bridge although it sounds like the bone would need rebuilding firts. Perhaps you could go back to Guys and ask them for their opinion as they have very experienced surgeons who might be able to help you.

Q. ok i 13 i have a gap in between my wide two front teeth and ppl say its fine and it well close and i have all my adult teeth and i have a missing adult tooth in the back and i say i need braces or a retaner but with do u think i should do?
A. Thanks for your questions, I suggest that you attend a dental practice to obtain a professional opinion on whether you would benefit from braces or not. Once a dentist has seen you, they will be able to refer you on to an Orthodontist, if necessary, where you will be able to receive treatment. I wish you well.
Many Thanks

Q. I have had braces and yet i have a small gap between my two front teeth, my orthadontist said i should go and see my dentist for bonding or venners as there is nothing else she can do. i was just wondering which technique is better and longer lasting and if they are stain resistant. Also i may consider home teeth whitening kits, and was wondering if they the veneers or the bonding will whiten also. morevover can you please tell me the NHS prices fro these and if there is a significant reduction in prices if you are a university student.
A. Thanks for your enquiry, firstly these procedures would be classed as cosmetic, and so would probably not be available on the NHS. If you are considering having your teeth whitened, then I would encourage you to do this before you have any restorations placed on your teeth, as whitening only works on your natural tooth. The material which is then used would be matched to the whitened shade of your teeth. There are benefits to both tooth bonding and to veneers, as tooth bonding is a less invasive treatment however veneers would lead to a more aesthetically pleasing result in my opinion. I hope this helps.
Many thanks

Q. I have 4 incisors instead of 6 (upper teeth) – the 2 incisors adjacent to the front 2 teeths are missing from childhood. I have gaps between all theh 4 incisor teeths. I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of the gap. Also, what could be an estimate expense in terms of money and pain.
A. Thanks for your questions, it may be possible to have Orthodontic treatment to close the gaps between the teeth or failing this veneers may be an option. Although the price for Orthodontic treatments will vary between systems and practices, the costs currently start from £999 at my practices. For veeners, you should expect to pay between £450 and £650 per veneer. I hope this helps.

Q. My teeth are spaced out on the top(only 6 of hem) and on the bottom my teeth are a little crooked.(only 4 of them) I know it might not seem like a big issue but i was just wondering if there is a way i can get braces for about 6-8 months without it costing me too much?
A. Thanks for your questions, there are teeth straightening systems available now, which can work in as little as six weeks. I would recommend that you attend a consultation with a practitioner who offers systems such as the Inman Aligner and Six Month Smiles. there are many practices now that will offer a free consultation to enable you to discuss the options that would be suitable for your specific case and the prices, without any financial commitment from yourself. Many of these practices will also offer finance options such as interest free credit. Although the prices for these treatment will vary between practices, I can tell you that the cost of the Inman Aligner at my practice starts from £999. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me again should require any further assistance.

Q. Hi, i wore braces for 1 and half years, but my teeth still doesnt look that good. my dentist told me that i have to wear retainerd all the time when i go bed. Just wanted to know whether if there is any chance of me stop wearing the retainers anymore? or What can i do to not to wear them anymore?
A. If they don’t look right you might need to have more active treatment before the retention, you could even try a bonded retainer as it works better if you don’t want to keep wearing a removable one.

Q. yesterday my two front lower teeth moved and when i got home i notice their where turning black from the bottom and is soo weird because my teeth are healthy soo my question is am i going to be a 20 year girl missing two teeth?:(
A. It may be that you have hit these these causing them to become lose. Otherwise it maybe that over time your teeth have moved and you have only just noticed.
Please book an appointment with a dentist.

Q. Hi dr rob…. I am now 27 and had a number of removable braces from the age of 14-16 than a fixed brace from 16 till I was nearly 19. I was really happy with the results, but shortly after having this removed my bottom teeth all crossed over again. I did visit my orthodontist about this but told ne at the time all they could do would be to file each tooth down then put a fixed brace on again. I was concerned about the health of my teeth filing them so did not go ahead. Since I have remained unhappy with my teeth but thought there was nothing that could be done, until I heard recently about invisable braces. I would like to look into this but feel that as the job wasn’t done properly in the first place that to pay for this now would be unfair. My top teeth have now also moved since I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and now I am feeling unhappy with these also. I was also told I would never get any wisdom teeth!! What would be your suggestion for how I go treatment from here?? Kind regards
A.
My first impression is that you are unlikely to get funding for invisible braces. Also all braces need space to move teeth around and so even Clearstep or Invisalign may need “interproximal stripping” ( removing enamel between teeth) to create space. After treatment you will need to wear lifetime retainers.
Hope this helps

A. You can

Q. Hi there Justin, i could really use some good advice. I am hoping you can help me, my dilema is this…….. a good few years ago my dad who is a dentist put in 3 crowns on my incisors and my left lateral incisor and then a gap appeared between my 2 front teeth. I am a proffesional singer and my smile is everything to me so i was livid ! so i went to see a cosmetic surgeon near by and i have paid out a hell of alot of money to have my top 10 teeth done properly. This was september last year and i still have yet another wax up in !!! i have been 5 times to visit the lab to go over shape and size and there every time i take photots of teeth i like the look of and go over and over the shape but they cant seem to get it ? I am starting to get phobic of going back and having yet more injections and more wax up smashed out of my mouth its getting very frustrating and now one of the laterals is getting very tender and looks like a root canal might be in order. anyway the look i am going for is similer to katie prices l.a.a smile but my mouth is alot smaller and i have a small arch apparently ? so putting teeth the same size as hers just makes me look like a horse so i need get this sorted as its driving me crackers. My dentist seems insistent on using the same technition but said if all else fails he will go to the da vinci labs. I am thinking of saying its gone on long enough and to go to da vinci. what do you think ? any advice would be valuble to me. kind regards.
A. I would say that that is a good idea if the current lab you are using are not giving you the result you are looking for. The ceramist in my opinion, is just as important as the dentist in the part of a smile makeover. It is critical they can acheive the results each patient wants, as no two cases are the same.
Kind regards

Q. Hiya, I’m 14 and have just been advised to get braces
. I have a huge overbite due to sucking my thumb at an early age and I really hate it. I’m really interested in getting my teeth straightened, have deneers and having my teeth whitened. Will I be able to get this treatment at my age and how much will it cost? Thanks.
A. At your age you can have braces on the NHS at no cost, however this does depends on your case but it sounds like you may be a candidate.
Veneers are not recommended at your age. I think you will find that once your teeth are straightened you will not need veneers. If you would like to whiten your teeth i advise you wait till you are 18.
Kind regards

Q. Hi, i’ve got a number of large gaps on the front bottom row of teeth. What can be done to prevent the teeth from moving? Will the effects be permanent? Can these gaps be replaced with anything?
A. It depends how big the gaps are, you may need orthodontic treatment or implants to fill the gaps, you need to have a cosmetic consultation to decide which are the best options.
