I am unhappy as my front two teeth are too big

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
Q.
My front teeth are a lot larger than all of my others. I have been to see various consultants/specialsts unsuccessfully since I was 12 (16 years). Nobody will do anything to shorten them as the actual teeth are strong and healthy. I have filed them down slightly but this hasn\’t helped. What can I do? Please help

I have lost a canine baby tooth which is hurting my confidence

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
I have recently lost a baby canine tooth ( the adult tooth remains unerrupted in my gum) and am finding wearing the temporary denture very uncomfortable. I have been told that a bridge is not possible as the tooth by the gap is fragile so need to explore other options. Would I be able to have an implant- what are the implications of the adult tooth still being there and approximately what cost ? This is having a real affect on my confidence so need to resolve it – any other suggestions would be gratefully received!

How much will it cost to fix my teeth

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I have been looking at the cosmetic dentistry smile makeovers on the kiss dental website. I have never been to a dentist, i’m 28 years old and have very crooked teeth which are discoloured and as you can imagine lead to low self esteem. I thoroughly dislike having my picture taken and wish i could smile and be happy with what my teeth look like. I am quite a shy person and would find it difficult to go to a dentist to get my teeth sorted. How can I find out how much it would cost to fix my teeth? Thanking you

My left canine wont grow into its space and incisor is wobbly

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
I’m a 19 year old girl and have had trouble with my left Canine tooth. For some reason the tooth didnt grow down and so i had one tooth pulled out (to create space) and an operation to uncover the Canine. I was told there may be problems with its Growth, luckily the tooth did make progress and the tip of the tooth is about half way into the space now (after 2 years of patiently waiting) however, the tooth next to the canine (lateral incisor- if thats what you call it!) seems to have become wonky and wobbly, and so my dentist is at a loss as to how to move the canine further down as it appears to be remaining stationary now. have you got any suggestions as to what dentistry might be available to me, im not sure if the tooth will move further by its self? quite worried i\’ll lose the tooth next to it if something isnt done and im self-conscious of my smile.

I have an upper denture and lost a lot of teeth I can not afford dental implants

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
Hello I have a partial upper denture and have lost a lot of teeth in the lower jaw. All the remaining teeth that are left were crowned approx 10 years ago. I cannot afford a lot of implants but am wondering if implanted retained dentures would be a possibility. I had a panoramic xray last year and that confirmed bone loss in the upper jaw. I am 53 years old and suffer from diabetes [insulin controlled]. I also take other medication, details of which can be provided if necessary. I would be most grateful for your opinion on what you would consider to be the best treatment for me.

I have sensitive teeth after a cerec crown

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
I have one Cerec crown and due to have more. However I am nervous as when preparing this particular tooth some of the dentine of the tooth has been left exposed. It is sensitive to cold (wasn’t a problem before) but has settled down a little. My dentist coated the area but I am not happy about it. Having had this treatment done on this tooth I feel it should have been better than this. Please could you advise what to do and whether to trust this would not happen to the other planned teeth.
