iam interested in having cosmetic dentistry in macedonia

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Q.
Dear Mr Glaister, I have come across the website Cosmetic Dentistry Guide and FYR Macedonia was mentioned as a possible destination for cosmetic dentistry. Since I am full time student I cannot afford to have work done in UK and would be interested to have some work done in Macedonia. For your information I would be interested in having existing crowns replaced (porcelain on metal to porcelain/zirconium) on the top front teeth – 5 teeth on the left side and 2 on the right side. Before I embark on a journey as such, I would be grateful if you could provide me with answers to the following questions: • Are there any dentists in Macedonia that you/the consultants form Cosmetic Dentistry Guide can recommend? • Have you had any reviews/feedback from patients who had work done in Macedonia? Look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards

my new crowns look really bad and are a bad fit

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have just had four new crowns fitted on my front teeth, they have been put in with temporary cement as they are really bad looking and i said i was not happy with them as my last crowns were lovely and these new ones are like misfits in my mouth. They all are different lenghts and are not of the same quality as my last ones, i am a woman of 41 and i feel so ugly with these teeth, i am really worried when i go back that they will fit me with something similar, if i took a photograph in to them of my old smile do u think they could send this to the technician to help give me back the teeth i had, i also have a gum shield when i had my teeth whitened with my old imprint of my teeth. Please help me as i am really worried.
