is there a 10 year plan for cosmetic dentistry

Thursday, August 14th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dentist, Im fed up of having bad looking teeth, that are chipped and virtually dead, but i’m not sure i can afford the dental treatment asking price in 1 sum of money. i am on job seekers allowance, so i only get £90 a fortnight which half has to go towards board money, but i’d like a total renew of every tooth in my mouth (i know that will cost thousands) i was wondering is there a 10 year paying plan i could do? since my teeth ache all day long, and its really disturbing when i try and smile, i dont see a smile, i see a wreck. please reply with a reasonable answer that answers my question, thanks.

A.
Realisticly, if this is the on… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How much would it cost to fix my pretruding front teeth

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I am currently 15 and my front teeth pretrude by a serveral mm along with there being gaps between them. I am not allowed to get treatment on the NHS and I was looking into having treatment when I am an adult. Is there a site you can refer me to that will inform me of a rough amount of money I would need to spend?
