I have 5 top teeth, there’s two in the middle,1 to the left and two to the right, and on the bottom I have 8, four at either side of the middle. All the teeth at the back are broken or missing due to lack of care over the years. I am embarrassed and talk carefully as not to open my mouth, which causes me to mumble as I don’t pronounce my words properly. I only smile with a closed mouth and have never had a real ‘show your teeth smile’. I hate not doing it due to the embarrassment caused. People see me as miserable as I don’t smile.What options do I have and what sort of costs are involved?

How Can I Improve My Smile, And How Much Will It Cost?
Monday, August 17th, 2015I Want Other Options Than Braces To Fix My Overlapping Teeth. Do I Need Cosmetic Treatment?
Tuesday, April 8th, 2014Hi Andrew. My upper set of teeth are showing too much when I smile and I think they look big too. My lower set of teeth is overlapping. I don’t want to use braces. I also have a little problem when I close my lips because of my teeth. I lack confidence while smiling. One dentist suggested to me that I could cap on my lower 6 so that they look straight. I am a little confused. I am 23 years old. Is cosmetic dentistry a better option for me? Could you tell me how much any potential treatment would cost? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Do you know what type of treatment I’ll need. Thank you.
The Thought Of Needles Gives Me Anxiety And I Have A Broken Molar. Can I Get Gas To Put Me To Sleep?
Tuesday, October 29th, 2013Hello Dr Moore. About one third of one of my back molars broke off a while ago, and as I have a huge fear of dentists I have not been to see anyone about it. Now it is really hurting, I bit into something and it was excruciating, an now it’s constantly aching. I suffer from anxiety, and I was wondering if they would offer gas to put me to sleep as I also have a huge phobia of needles. Also would you be able to give me an idea of what I might be in for? Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Hello. Is My Proposed Treatment For Alveoloplasty Necessary? What Options For Sedation Do I Have?
Thursday, August 29th, 2013Hello. My problem is that I have a proposed treatment plan that includes an alveoloplasty after the extraction of a wisdom tooth. It is impacted and decayed. I’m fifty years of age and I will need a crown on the tooth next to it. Is the alveoloplasty necessary? Insurance doesn’t pay anything for the alveoloplasty so I’m wondering why or if the procedure is needed? Also, what kind of sedation do you think I should get for the procedure? Insurance only pays for a local anaesthetic, I’m pretty nervous in the dentist’s chair so it is something I need to consider.
Thank you in advance for any response.
My Dad Is Suffering From TMJ, Is Surgery The Only Option?
Wednesday, August 14th, 2013 Hello sir,
my dad aged 68 is suffering from TMJ. We have tried almost most of the suggested treatments except surgery. He is not able take anything other than liquids. He has severe locking/ unlocking problem both jaws and unable to close mouth easily. This is knocking his confidence. Also, mouth keeps opening up…..we are being suggested that only surgery can help. Could you please suggest if this is treatable and if yes, how much would it cost please? He is not a resident of UK. Any information you can provide on the matter would be greatly appreciated as it is severely affecting not only him but his family also.
My Missing Teeth Are Knocking My Confidence, Which Treatment Option Would Be Right For Me?
Friday, August 2nd, 2013I have upper left 5 missing and upper right 5,6,7,8 missing (hope I have got that right). I want to have these gaps filled but what is my best options other than implants? which I can not afford, quoted £4,500 because I need bone graft and sinus pocket lift etc. Chrome metal partial denture but I don’t like the clips, they will show when I smile and last I have been quoted £2,000 for bridges which I can not afford either. I would appreciate any help whatsoever that you can give me with this. It is an issue which has been playing on my mind for quite sometime now and it is knocking my confidence. Any response would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
How Much Would It Cost To Get Porcelain Veneers?
Thursday, May 9th, 2013 Hi,
I have partial upper and lower plates and have had since I was 14. Now 58 I am seriously thinking about having porcelain veneers.I have two double back teeth and 3 smaller teeth on the bottom and 2 small one on the top. Can you please tell me how much the whole treatment from start to finish would cost. Obviously I know this wouldn’t be exact as I would need an appointment but a ball park figure would be good. Thank you..
Should I Get An Implant To Replace My Missing Crown?
Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013 Hello, my upper left front tooth is crowned, has been for the past 7 years, i recently have had root canal on it, and in between the procedures the crown fell off as the Stump was drilled away in the procedure, I have been given a temporary post, with the intention to of having a perm post installed as my tooth below the gum line is in good condition and in tact, the issue is, that the two teeth on my lower jaw directly below the are slightly overlapped ( even though i had braces as a kid, so they must have slipped back)
This overlap is hitting the back of the crown when i bite, thus making the tooth a little loose,
I need to see what my options are as my dentist is going down the post route, where as i am wondering whether an implant would be a better option? or because of the overlap on the bottom teeth, i would need to get this addressed first? and still go with the post option.
Thank you.
