I Have Protruding Teeth. Should I Opt For Braces Or Surgery To Fix This? Which Is The Most Effective?

Thursday, August 21st, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. At what price can I get surgery for my protruding teeth? And is this the best way to do it? Will it look natural after surgery? What would be the maximum cost for this treatment? I’m a 21 year old girl and my teeth are protruding.  I feel very bad when my friends kid me and tease me. I need the best suggestion from you for my problem? What would be better a surgery
or braces for my teeth? If I opt for the surgery, will it change the shape of my face? Thank you.

My Teeth Are Too Small To See Whenever I Smile. Can Dental Veneers Make Them Longer?

Wednesday, August 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I need some information. When I smile you cannot see my top set of teeth, they are too small and it really annoys me the way they look. I just want a nice, normal smile. Can veneers be made a little longer to show a set of nice white teeth smile or would false teeth be my only option? If dental implants are my only choice, could you tell me how much they will set me back? I hope you can help me with this. Thank you for listening, I look forward to your reply.

I Am An NHS Patient But I Pay Charges For A Scale And Polish. Should I Have To Pay Privately For This Treatment?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. My dentist refuses to polish my teeth after a ‘scale and polish’ saying this is cosmetic only. Can I insist he polishes them or can you tell me where I can go to get the stains removed? I am an NHS patient but pay the charges for a check up and scale and polish. He will carry out a scale but will not polish the stains off the front of my teeth.

Is it possible to have this done under the NHS or would I have to go private? Thank you.

I Have An Overlapping Front Tooth. Could You Tell Me If Simpli5 Braces Could Fix This Problem?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I have a question that I hope you can answer. My front tooth stick’s out further than the other and is overlapping the other tooth. It has pushed my other front tooth backwards. So basically my main front two teeth both need to be straightened. Would Simpli5 braces fix this? What does the procedure involve? It really annoys me and I’d like it fixed as soon as possible. Thank you.

I Have A Maternity Exemption Card. Will I Be Able To Get Dental Crowns Fitted For Free?

Thursday, August 14th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My 4 front teeth are becoming thin as my enamel is wearing away which makes me insecure but also makes my teeth really sensitive. I have a maternity exemption card. If I ask my dentist to fit the crowns will I get this for free or do they have the final decision as to whether I need them or not? Or also are dental crowns the best solution or would veneers help me? Would love some advice so I can go to the dentist with a bit of information.

Thanks.

I Need A Dental Implant Which I Would Like To Be Gold Or Platinum. Do You Know Roughly How Much This Would Cost?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I am looking to have some sort of cosmetic dental implant or something on my lower left teeth. It is the first big tooth from the front. I would probably like gold or maybe a platinum tooth depending on the cost. So if you could quote me for these it would be appreciated? Also if it’s possible for a diamond to be added again depending on cost I am not sure which to have done. Maybe also I would have the lot cleaned so they look white again. Any information would be great. Thank you for your time.

I Can’t Afford To Get My Veneers. Do You Know If I Could Get A Dental Student To Do This For Me?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I need 8 veneers but cannot afford the 3000 pounds it costs to get them. Do you know where can I get help and whether a student dentist could do them? My top 8 teeth are rotting away, this is due to not taking care of them and it’s also because my family have all had weak teeth. I have lost most of my confidence due to this. I am now 43 years old and I know I would find it much easier to talk to women as when I smile I do it with my mouth shut. Thank you for your time in advance.

My Crown Keeps Falling Out And Would Need A Denture If It Falls Out Again. How Much Would It Cost To Have Implants For 3/4 Teeth?

Tuesday, August 12th, 2014
Q.

Hi there. I have just been to my dentist and had one of my crowns re-fixed yet again, probably for the sixth time. I was told that the dentist that originally fixed the crown, didn’t check that the post was long enough and that’s why it falls out on occasions. Next to the crown is a bridge that is fixed to a now cracked tooth so it wobbles, the bridge has wobbled for about 10 years only coming out once. I asked the dentist this morning what it if comes out again, they said that they won’t cement it in again and I would have to have a denture, which fills me full of dread. I am a pensioner and don’t have a large income and wondered if there would be an alternative on the NHS, or how much would it cost to have implants for 3/4 teeth? My own teeth are shrinking so next to the crown it’s considerably smaller.

I Haven’t Been To A Dentist For Two Years As I Have Dental Phobia. How Much Would It Cost To Have My Fillings Replaced?

Monday, August 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I’ve not been to the dentist for about 2 years I’ve got dental phobia and the whole experience just scares me. I’ve got very weak teeth and 2 of my bottom back teeth have broken I also have a lot of fillings. I really want them sorting out as I realise how important my teeth are. What sort of piece would I be looking at to have my fillings replaced probably about 6 of them and also the bottom 2 teeth that have broken? I’m with an NHS dentist at the moment? Thanks.
