How much does it cost for the six month smile?
Thursday, September 24th, 2009What are the less expensive options for stained and crooked teeth?
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Q.
Hello. I am 40 years old and for as long as I can remember my teeth have been in a very poor condition. They are stained, crooked and badly worn. I would love to have them all taken out and be fitted with dentures or something similar. I am not registered with a dentist and not entitled to NHS. I am on a low income and am desperate to have this problem fixed. Could you please tell me how i can get this done and an approximate cost. Its ruining my life now. Thank you in advance

What treatment is best suited for a young with mild overbite?
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Q.
My 14 year old son has a mild underbite. What treatments are available to correct it. I’m fairly sure that wearing braces would be something of an uphill struggle!

How to correctly fit the valplast denture in ease?
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Q.
Re. a Valplast denture. It was fitted a week ago,but very difficult even in the surgery.Ihave tried and tried over the last week to insert the denture and cannot do it. I see the dentist again in 2 days, for bite etc. I suppose. He will think I’m just a wimp but I feel that there is something wrong when after 40 mins. of struggle I can’t insert the Valplast. Every day for 5 days I’ve tried- 20 to 45 mins a time. I already have a denture which took a bit of trying to get used to, so I didn’t expect this to be instant.

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Q.
I have crooked and mishapen teeth, especially my top six front teeth. I’m trying to decide between lumineers, invisalign, and inman aligners. I’m 18 years old and live in the USA. I’m also a student in college. Cost and time have a big difference in my decision. What information can you give me to help me make my final choice?

Can i fix braces for free on NHS?
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Q.
I had fixed braces when i was about 11 for seven months, but then eventually discontinued to use the retainer i was given as i got older. I am now 18, and my teeth have moved around so much from when the brace was first taken off, meaning that the retainer obviously no longer fits my mouth. Would you recommend getting fixed braces put back on? If so, would i still be able to get them free on the Nhs, baring in mind that i am still in full time education? Any other recommendations would also be much appreciated.

Advice over matching of new and old crowns
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Q.
I recently broke a piece off a back tooth on which I had root canal treatment a few years ago. Both of my front teeth are crowned and I was also experiencing a little “vibration” in one of them. On visiting my dentist yesterday and after taking x-rays, she says the root canal treatment I had years ago was “incomplete” (it was done at the same practice but by my previous dentist who has now left) but there is no decay so recommends just a crown as there is not enough tooth left to fill. As for the front crown I have an infection for which she is recommending root canal treatment and a new crown. She has quoted me £450 per crown plus £360 for the root canal treatment Initally I thought this sounded very expensive but after a bit of research have accepted these are probably the right prices – however my main concern is that the new crown will match the one next to it? I should be grateful for your opinion on the treatment recommended and the price – and is there a chance they won`t match? Thanks you for your time.

Options for straight beautiful teeth for the older people
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Q.
I am 61 years old and as seems to be with many older people I have considerable movement of my lower teeth resulting in them bunching in the front. My upper teeth now also appear to be moving and I would like to have them corrected. Is this possible? I should say I enjoy good health both orally and physically and participate in regular excercise and have never smoked. I visit the dentist for check ups regularly but have been told I am too old to bother with this. Your opinion would be appreciated.
