After A Great Deal Of Restoration On My Teeth, I’ve Decided I Now Want Implants. What Is The Average Price For This Type Of Treatment?

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I have something that’s been on my mind and I hope you can help me with it. I have had a great deal of restoration on my teeth and would like to start having implants rather than continuously having further treatment to restore old fillings etc. I am 57 years old, look after, what is left of my teeth, fanatically. I have been forced out of work, ex military, age etc, and would prefer to keep the cost as low as possible. Could you advise me whether I can have implants and what would be an average price for this treatment? Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

I Think My Porcelain Crowns On My Two Front Teeth Look Too Big. Can I Get Them Reshaped?

Monday, December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I’m looking for some advice. I recently got porcelain crowns on my front two teeth. I think they look a little big, can they be shaped now that they are in place? I have always hated my two front teeth as they looked too big. I was hoping that the crowns would have made them look smaller in comparison. If they try and shape them now, will it most likely dull them? Is there anything else that could go wrong if I got them reshaped? Thank you. Any advise you can provide me with on this matter would be very helpful.

I Have One Crooked Tooth Which Stops Me From Smiling. What Would Be The Cheapest Way To Fix This Before I Go Travelling?

Friday, December 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. It’s just a quick query. I previously had braces while I was in school and had a permanent brace fitted behind my front top teeth. This however broke after a month and they wanted to charge me again which I stupidly didn’t but I have learnt my lesson now. I have one crooked tooth and the rest are straight but I hate smiling for the sake of this one tooth. I was just wondering what I could have and what is the cheapest as I’m on a tight budget saving for travelling.

Many thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

My Incisors Are Bent And Displaced From Their Actual Position. What Treatment Could Fix This Problem For Me?

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I wonder if you can help me. I am 18 years old. I have a problem that my two central incisors in the upper half are a little inwardly bent and the two lateral incisors (on both sides of the central incisors) are displaced from their actual position. They have shifted a little backwards in my mouth. I am not able to speak properly because of this and I would like ideas on what would be the best way to fix this problem?

Should I Plan For 4 Four Implants Or Opt For The Upper/Lower All In One Implants?

Thursday, November 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I hope you can help me. I need to have 4 front teeth removed with scaling & root planning done. Dentist said the other teeth were borderline, some might be saved after the root planning. I have two options to choose from and only considering implants at this time.  Other than cost,
Should I plan for 4 implants and deal with the other teeth over time or should I just have the full mouth extraction and upper/lower ALL IN ONE implants.
I am 63 years old and I’m in good health.

Thank you, I look forward to your response and advice.

My Daughter Swallowed Too Much Toothpaste When She Was Young And Now They Are Really White On The Bottom. Is She Too Young For Treatment?

Thursday, November 28th, 2013
Q.

Hi there Dr Moore, my 10 year old daughter’s two front teeth are really white on the bottom half. Our dentist has said she probably swallowed too much toothpaste when she was younger which has given her this appearance. He seems reluctant to give me any advice on cosmetic procedures, I appreciate she is a bit young but we would like to think there was hope as she is starting to become embarrassed of it now and I don’t want her to be teased about it at school. I would appreciate some good advice with this matter. Thank you.

Why Can’t I Get A Bridge Through The NHS, And How Much Would I Expect To Pay?

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I have something I’d like to ask. I had four veneers fitted on my four upper front teeth 21 years ago, one has broken and my teeth have gone completely rotten behind them. I saw an NHS dentist this morning who says the four teeth need removing and she advises that I see a private dentist for a bridge. How much should I expect to pay and why can’t I have this done on the NHS? She said she can only offer me dentures and she does not think this is the correct treatment? I’d like to hear any advice from this on this.

I Want To Know Whether I Should Straighten My Teeth Before Getting Caps Or After?

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’d like to discuss a problem I have. Currently I’m undergoing extensive gum grafting and implant preparation for two teeth with an eye toward crowns for the rest. My desire is to have my teeth straightened at some point. Still, my other dental team members seem to be running into interference with my orthodontist, so I don’t have his input. Should I wait until my teeth are capped and the implants installed before seeking further alignments? I hope you can help me with this and offer your advice. Thank you.

I Recently Got Laid Off And I Need Braces, Will The NHS Provide The Treatment?

Tuesday, November 19th, 2013
Q.

Hey Dr Moore. I’m 20 years old and I have always worked but I recently got laid off and now I’m on jobseekers allowance, but I really need braces as my front teeth are not too bad but they hurt at times and it feels like they’re pushing each other out and it’s painful. So now they’re overlapping a little bit and I have been scared to go back to the dentist because the last time I had a really bad experience.  Just wanted some help and advice, Hope you can help me and offer any other suggestions. Thanks.
