I would like a full smile that doesn’t require metal braces, what do you suggest?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Q.
I was born without my top lateral incisors and so my other teeth have moved forward to fill the gaps. I have always been rather concious of my smile because my first premolars show at the side and my canines are pointy. I also feel that my canines are moving further out (parrot-tooth I’m told?!?). I’m looking for the cheapest treatment that will give me a full, lovely smile but ideally not require metal braces. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you.,
A.
You could try cosmetic bonding… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

There are problems with my dental bridge, what can I do?

Friday, June 18th, 2010
Q.
I had a bridge 30 yrs ago and recently the right hand post (left if looking at me) was found to not be supporting anything. My dentist sawed it off the other two teeth (the ‘floating tooth’ and the left hand supporting tooth). I was then fitted with a single tooth on a plate that has metal spokes like paper clips that wrap round my back top molars. I have, I admit, only had this just over a week but have found eating and public speaking both to be problematic. The plate adds to dryness in my mouth and makes me ‘lisp’ and also moves slightly when i talk. It also hurts if io try to bite down on something even as soft as a ‘wrap’ sandwich with soft filling. I’m 53 and looking for an alternative to this but am an NHS patient. What do you think would be better for me?,

Would braces help my front teeth or would veneers?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I am 33 and I have had problems with my teeth for years. I have a “peg tooth” at the front, my front 2 teeth overlap, and I have a tooth missing (but no gap) at the front. My teeth generally sit to the left of my mouth and look awful. I had braces when I was younger (not the permanent ones) which did not help and eventually a veneer was put over my peg tooth. This hasn’t really helped the overall look of my teeth though. I was wondering if a brace would be the best option or more veneers to sort out the front ones. Thank you so much.,
A.
i think your definitely on the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

The tooth that had the root canal treatment is now decaying, what treatment options are available to me?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Q.
I have a front tooth which was replanted 30 years ago following an accident. It has had root canal treatment but is now decaying and my NHS dentist is about to either recommend a crown (NHS) or implant (private treatment). I am currently pregnant to must wait for the xray. What is the protocol on getting a second opinion and exploring the possibility of an implant specialist doing the work rather than my existing NHS dentist?
