What kind of treatments can I have to address my receding gums and gaps?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
I am 39 and 6 years ago I was told I had gum disease & 1mm of horizontal bone loss. since then I have followed a strict oral hygiene regime and thankfully my problem is very much under control. The problem is I have been left with receding gums and I am absolutely at my wits end! I have no confidence & certainly don’t feel like smiling.

Can you please advise me on some treatment, and whether you offer finance options?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki I’ve actually been to see you before and really loved how comfortable I was made to feel as I’ve always been frightened of the dentist ever since I was little. When I was a child I was registered with a not very good dentist who tried and tried to fill one of my front teeth, spread filling stuff all over the tooth next to it, and eventually ended up putting on a very bad and bulky veneer. I’m almost 30 now, and I want my front teeth sorting out… I hate having my photo taken, as when I smile, I feel like the veneer sticks out and is magnified by the fact that the filling is still all over the tooth next to it and is quite discoloured… Also my two very front teeth overlap slightly, and one of them has a tiny chip in it, but it all adds to the downfall of my smile! What would you recommend? I know it’s going to be expensive, and wondered what kind of finance options you offer? Like most people, I don’t have much money going spare, but feel it would be worth it to regain confidence in my smile. Thanks,
A.
