Q. hello! I really want a silver tooth, and was curious on how its done, cost and if i dont like it can i have it removed? Thanks for you time!
A. hi many thanks for your email a silver tooth is usually placed over your existing tooth but so not to look too bulky the tooth inquestion is prepared down a little to accomodate room, therefore if you did not like it you would then probably have to replace it with a porcelain veneer. the cost of a silver tooth varies from £600 – £1000 dependant on where you go for the treatment.

Q. i have a chipped tooth in the front and i was wondering just because it is chipped will it decay or get worse?
A. If it has chipped because of decay then i will get worse very quickly. If there is no deacy present at the moment get it checked by your dentist as soon as possible.

Q. Good day, i have a 7 yr old daughter, she once had non-hogkins limphoma, and when she was operated her front lower and upper teeth were removed together with the gums which bring out teeth. i want to know whwther she can get implants or not, i once visited one dentist who said she can only can implants at the age of 16, but now she keeps asking me that “when are my teeth going to grow”. i stay in zimbabwe in harare. i’d appreciate your help. concerned dad
A. You need to wait until she has finished growing approx 16 onwards, she can wear an appliance to fill the gap until she gets older. It will be worth waiting for.

Q. Hi, my jaws are unaligned, the lower jaw sits further back than the top. My front teeth therefore protrude and give the buck tooth look, sticking out. The top jaw gums also show too much. generaly my teeth are healthy and well not crooked. Is there anything that can be done to help, that isnt major surgery etc. The option when I was at school meant major surgery and braces.
A. You could have barces to just tidy up the teeth, however if the only option was surgery in the past it is likely that this is still the best long-term option. Ask for an opinion from an experienced Orthodontist to find out all your options.

Q. My dentist just applied bonding to the back of my front teeth. They feel thinner and now I am worried they will break easily. Also, I worry as to how long the bonding will last. If the bonding wears off, what do you do then. I dont want caps. I dont know why he chose to do this procedure. My teeth are pretty and white. Maybe because I am 59 yrs old and perhaps he thought this would help preserve them. Is this a mistake of my life? Am I headed toward more espensive procedures?
A. This is difficult to answer as there can be many reasons for bonding teeth. If you are concerned please contact your dentist to voice your concerns

Q. Hi there. I am 23 and one of my front teeth has been pushed forward over the years so it now sticks out. I am very self conscious about it and it affects my confidence. I’m just wondering what the best option for me is?
A. It sounds like a brace might work well. I use an Inman Aligner for mild crowding it works quickly and gives good results. Try to find a dentist close to you who can provide this treatment for you.

Q. Hi there i have a question for you i have a impacted wisdom tooth its my lower right side my dentist told me i could take it out whenever i want and its not a big deal, well my question is can that wisdom tooth cause my second molar to start raising up and make a couple of my bottom teeth crooked? because that is happening but like i said he said it wasnt a big deal!? can you please help me? thanks
A. Hi
It is very unlikely for the wisdom tooth to cause the crowding, but an examination would be required.
If you are getting repeated infections or it is causing damge to you adjacent tooth then it may require removal. Your dentist would discuss all your options.

Q. my two top front teeth are chipped and i am concerned they will chip even more is it possible to repair them, will i have to go private and hoe much roughly will it cost, as i am having trouble finding an nhs dentist.
A. I recommend you call around to find an NHS dentist in your area taking on new patients or visit www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
If you decided to go down the private route then after your examination your dentist can inform you on the costs involved in repairing this.
Kind regards

Q. Hello. I have a crown fitted in the front of my mouth. the gum line has receeded and the crown is now cracked (having been filled down to slim it by a dentist after It took too long to refit it when it dropped out and the other teeth had moved). it looks unsightly and the crown is partially shaven on one of the sides. My dentist says I would have to have a private crown to replace it, as its only a cosmetic problem. however, surely a less than complete crown is a little more than cosmetic. I have also developed a gum boil above the tooth now and I beleive this is becuase the slimmed down crown has allowed food to compact and enter the gum. where can I find a copy of the rules for NHS dentristy in regards to crowns? thank you
A.
I am not an NHS dentist so do not know their rules and regulations. However if your dentist is an NHS dentist he will have an information booklet he can give you or you can look at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/

Q. I am a 42 year old woman and have dreadful teeth. I only have 13 original teeth left and wear dentures,which i love because they are beautiful and white. My other teeth are full of holes and broken and yellow, Why won’t my dentist take all the rest of my teeth out and give me a full set of dentures. This is what i would really like done and no one will help me! WHY?
A.
You existing teeth help hold the denture in place and make it much more comforable for you to eat and talk. They also retain the bone that stops your gum from shrinking. If you would have the rest of your teeth extracted I think you would find that the denture would be most uncomfortable and you would have to get it relined frequently as your gum would shrink.
It is also unethical to extrct teeth that are healthy.
