I have a large gap in between my two front teeth

Friday, January 16th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a large gap in-between my two front teeth. This gap is genetic, it runs in the family and while I don’t want to close the gap completely I would like to reduce the size of it. I know a friend that didnt used braces for that, but his dentist put something at the back of the front teeth to keep them together. I dont really want braces as Im 20 years old now. but i would like to know what else can I do about it. I was thinking about bondings or something cheap. Thank you

I wear an upper denture at the moment and aged 31

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi there I wear an upper denture at the moment, and aged 31 this isnt ideal. I have looked into dental implants before but have been advised twice now that I have so little bone underneath the gum that I will need bone grafts taken from my hip. Im not too sure that I want bone taken from anywhere else and also the £40k price tag will also be an issue for me. I am at the stage now where I am not even leaving the house, and when Im taking the children to school, I dont even step out of the car. I am on anti-depressants longterm due to this also. It is significantly affecting my life and I’m investigating every area of hope at the moment. I already can feel how loose my denture has become recently and know I am on borrowed time with those, so really am desperate. Any advice you could give me would be fantastic. Many thanks x

I need 3 implants in my upper left quadrant

Thursday, November 27th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Glaister, I need 3 implants in my upper left quadrant following 2 failed bridges. I’m nervous about the treatment as my problem resulted from poor work of dentists. I’ve been quoted £5200 for 3 Imtec Endure implants in Antigua with a dentist who I believe is trustworthy. An alternative quote is £6500 for 3 Nobel Biocare in London. Can you give me any advice on the difference in systems and best value? Many thanks

Q.
Im due to have bridge work on my top set of teeth. It will involve two crowns on my natural teeth, the problem that i have is will this be the best option for me? i would like something that will even my smile, as i have had this type of treatment before and it ended in re-bridging again due to teeth extractions, because of a re-occuring abcess.
