Need treatment for my discoloured teeth for reasonable cost

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Q. hi i got a single yellow upper front teeth. it looks very ugly . iwant to get rid of this problem .if i go for surgery how much it cost for me pls help

A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider having a veneer placed on the tooth. This is a thin layer of porcelain which can be used to alter the size shape and colour of your tooth. The shade of your veneer could be chosen to match your other teeth, hence creating a more uniform look to your smile. Although the costs will vary between practices, you should expect to pay between £400 – £600 for a veneer. Many cosmetic practices who offer these services, will also have the facility to offer payment options such as interest free credit to help spread the cost. I hope this will be of assistance to you.
Kindest Regards

Braces have not fixed my crooked tooth

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Q. Good day Dr. Solanki. I had dental braces for 2 years and 6 months and I am quite satisfied with the result except for one thing. One of my front top tooth is kinda “pear shape”. That tooth was protruding in before the braces and when it was aligned after the appliance, there was a wee gap at the top part of that tooth near my gum that can be seen everytime I would widely smile or grin which looks so unappealing. My orthodontist said it was because of the shape of my teeth. Is there a remedy for this? I hope there is, after all the costs and pains of wearing the braces. I hope its all worth it.

A. Thanks for your questions, you may wish to consider having the tooth veneered. A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain which is made to fit over the front surface of the tooth and can be used to alter the shape. However an alternative, less expensive, and more conservative option may be to consider using a composite material to desguise the shape. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks

Does NHS fit braces as I have teeth gap?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. I was wondering i would be able to get vaneers or implants done on the nhs as my two front teeth at the bottom have formed a gap as all my bottom teeth used to be perfectly straight and no gaps until i became addicted to coca cola and i would like the replacements to look like my own instead of having dentures like old people have as i am only 30 years of age and as an adult would i be able to have a brace fitted to my top teeth on the nhs as i have got gaps between my teeth that i would like closed up.

A. Thanks for your questions, it may be possible to have veneers on the NHS if they are clinically necessary. However, if there is no clinical need for them, then it would be deemed as cosmetic, and therefore would not be available on the NHS. If this is the case, your dentist may be able to offer a bridge as an alternative to a denture. This would depend on the stability and health of the teeth on either side of the gap. In order to fit a bridge, you would have the teeth on either side of the gap prepared for crowns, and the laboratory would attach a false tooth to the two crowns. This three unit bridge would then be fitted. I hope this helps.

Need long lasting remedy for discoloured gappy teeth

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

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

Can reconstructing one of the veneers match the rest?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. Hi, Just looking for some advice.. as my dentist id not available for 2 weeks and im very worried.. I have veneers on my teeth (put on 6 months ago) and I have had a bad fall at work and chipped one of the very front ones. I cant believe ive been so unlucky as they looked really good before this. Im worried that if the chipped veneer is replaced it wont match the others as it will be made at a different time. It would look awful if one tooth was a different colour to the rest. The lab that did the veneers is in New York so visiting the lab is not an option. Is there any way to make a precise match? Your advice any any reassurance would be great, thanks

A. Thanks for your questions, your dentist and the laboratory he used will have a record of the shade and materials that were used for your veneers, and so should be able to get a very good match when they replace it. I hope this puts your mind at rest a little.
Many thanks

What is the best way to cover discoloured teeth?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. I damaged my front tooth when i was younger this made it slack I was then given root treatment and in time my tooth started to discolour, it was then suggested i get an veneer, this venner looked good but after 3 yrs it chipped and I needed to get it replaced,my second veneer was only in for 2 weeks when it cracked from the inside.I was then given my third within 6 months this one became noticeably darker, my dentist advised me to get yet another, I am just home from appt and this veneer is slightly better but at my gum area all you can see is blackness. I did say that I was’nt happy with it but he expressed that is the best he can do with what he has to work with, my own tooth is black and yellow as he showed me. i am wondering if you could advise on any other options. thanks

A. Thanks for your questions, you may wish to consider having a crown on the tooth instead of a veneer. Although it would involve more preperation of the tooth, a crown would be much less transparent hence consealing the discolouration. I would recommend that you speak to your dentist to gain his professional opinion on the merit of this in your case. I hope that his helps.
Kind Regards

What is the best treatments for crowded teeth?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Q. Dear Mr. Patel Let me allow that I introduce my problem.I am 21 and my cief complaint is my upper and lower crowding. Info – Relationship of frontal teeth: Overjet: 2-3mm Overbite 2mm, Midlines upper is OK lower 1,5mm to the left, Dental crowding severe, Crossbite UR2-LR3. Next year year I’ll study at London Business School and I think that this is good opportunity to correct my teeths aswell. I want to ask you is in this case possible to correct teeths with Veneers, removable braces or Invisaglin braces? Because I realy want fast solution and I think that veneers are the best but on the other hand I am also prepared for longer treatment and wear braces but only which I mention in upper text. I just want to hear your advice because everywhere offer me just Damonbraces and similar braces which I realy do not want to wear because they do not fit my lifestyle. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I am also prepared to send you photos of my teeths,smile,x-ray scans if this help you to give me advice. 

A. Veneers can create a lovely smile but the downside is your teeth have to cut down, this means they will need a lifetime of treatment. As your teeth are already crooked it would be very difficult to create a nice smile with veneers without removing a lot of natural tooth. My preferred treatment would be orthodontics, invisalign is the most discreet, 6 month smiles is the quickest and damon braces are very good for very crowed mouths.

Please suggest the type of braces or veneers for my uneven teeth

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Q. Hi im 30 years old and my upper and lower eye teeth on the left side sort of stick out, i assume there wasnt room for them when they came through so my top one is higher up then the rest of my teeth. Im not worried about the bottom as no one sees those teeth but it is getting me don when ever i look at pictures and see a horrid smile. What is the best option for me? Im not to keen on the idea of braces as im self conscious enough but maybe there is a better type of brace you could suggest than the traditional metal train tracks or would veneers be any good?

A. Invisalign may work well for you possibly in combination with veneers

What are the alternate treatment available for protruding teeth?

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Q. hi doc. i am 22, my front two teeth are protruding n i hate them when i smile… i am fed up wid it i dont wanna wear braces as i dont lyk them plz suggest me any altenatives plz am waiting

A. hi many thanks the two front teeth could be moved back using veneers, if the position is severe and they need to be moved a vast distance the two teeth may need to be root canal treated and crowned to position them to the ideal. have a look on my website www.kissdental.co.uk i have done a case similar.

hope this is helpful.
