Hi Andrew. My teeth are overcrowded which I feel is down to my wisdom teeth and my tooth right of my front teeth which protrudes greatly. It means that I take a bad photo when smiling. I want to have them fixed but would like to know an approx cost, as I know every patient is different. Please can you give me some information as I really do not know what I need but do and I do not want to get stung for something that is too expensive, many thanks.
Hello Dr Moore. I just found out that I have an overbite, and I think its a major overbite, I never thought about it before because I thought everyone’s mouth was like that but then I Googled why my top teeth were too far in front of my bottom teeth, then found out about the overbite. My question is, how is overbite cured? And how much will it cost in the UK? And if it is surgery to cure, what is the chance that everything will be okay? I’m 13 years old. Thank you.
Hi Dr Moore. I am 19 years old and I have a gap in between my two front teeth, but apart from that my other teeth are virtually perfect. I hate the way my teeth look so much, because of my gap (it’s caused by one of my front teeth being crooked). I really want this one tooth sorted out so that I can smile with my teeth for once! What should I do? I was never advised to get braces when I was a child because my dentist thought my gap would close as I got older. Please, I hope you can help and give me any advice, many thanks.
Hello Andrew, I have lost 2 teeth at the top right back, I use a denture at the moment but can I get a double bridge made for the missing teeth? I have a stable tooth both sides of the gap. I have considered implants but I think a bridge is maybe a better solution, I also have a crown on the bottom left but the post snapped inside but the dentist managed to find it but I don’t feel safe to eat on it as it feels like it’s going to fall out so I would like a bridge on this also. What do you think would be the best solution for this problem?
Hi, I’ve just been looking up about the ‘6 month smile’ treatment and wanted to know a little more information, such as how they look, can you see much? Also cost, as I don’t have a lot of money? I’m 21 years old and I’m unhappy about how my teeth look. They’re really overcrowded. I wouldn’t consider a brace any more, as I would be self-conscious about how it looked to others, seeing as I’m older now. I liked the sound of not being able to see anything in my mouth with the 6 month smile. If you could get back that would be great with any information that would be great, thanks.
Hello Dr Moore. I have quite bad teeth at the moment. What would be the rough cost of getting them fixed. I don’t want a Hollywood smile or brilliant white teeth, I just want them normal and to feel confident when I smile. I have fillings in nearly all my teeth and four are missing and I think at least two other teeth need to be extracted. Thank you for your time, I look forward to your reply.
Hello Andrew, I’m getting dentures fitted soon and I’m also having my remaining teeth out and I’m worried I will be left all gummy for a while. Does this happen? I understand that I may get temporary wax dentures to check the fitting is correct and that the finished dentures will be acrylic. I’m just paranoid ill be Mr Gummy for a while. I would also like to know if the temporary ones are going to hurt or be uncomfortable at all? Thank you.
Hello Dr Moore,
I was subject to bad periodontal disease caused by smoking. The bleeding went on for a long period of time before I had it seen to but by then it was far too late, the damage was done. I have the disease under control now through regular cleaning but I’ve lost a lot of bone apparently and gum recession of around point 4. The gaps are quite noticeable but my dentist keeps saying there is nothing that can be done. I’d like to know if it’s true and that nothing can be done? Thank you for your help and advice.
Hi Andrew,
I’m 26 years old and I have an overbite and my two front teeth are bucked with a gap in the middle. My bottom teeth are perfect!
I’m really self conscious about my teeth to the point of when I’m talking I put my hand over my mouth.
I’m getting to the point now where I really want to be pro-active and do something about it!
I’m due to get married next year and would love for my two front teeth to be perfect for the photos, Can you please recommend any treatments you think I may be suitable for?
Thank you so much for your help.
Hello Andrew. I have a problem that I would like to discuss with you. I have just had a root canal done and after almost 2 weeks everything had settled with the temporary dressing, no pain. Then I went back a week later for a crown to be fitted and now I’m experiencing a mild pain and the crown is quite sensitive to touch when pushing on the side. It’s not particularly pain just a persistent discomfort, please help. Should I tell my dentist? Does it sound like it failed? I’m terrified, I also has the nerve removed on this same tooth. I’ve found the whole procedure has made me very depressed. Thank you.
