I would like to book an appointment with you but have few questions

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki. I am 39 and live in the Manchester area. I have been looking at your practice on the internet for some time now and like what i see. I know it is very difficult for you to give such advice without seeing me but i have just a few questions before i take the plunge if that’s ok. Without going into the reasons why my teeth are like they are (same story as everyone else) i am sure what remains of my top teeth need to be removed. If i book a consultation at your practice, what is the cost of this ? and what is included ? xrays ect ? I would like to go down the road of implants with a fixed bridge. Now, assuming my bone is sufficiant what is the likely cost, with everything included. I have saved a small deposit of around £3000 and obviously would need to finance the rest. I am in secure well payed employment. However my credit reference isnt the best with 2 blemishes on. Does your practice do finance and would i be likely to get it ? Sorry for going on and thanks for your time.

Need to straighten and whiten my teeth

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q.
I am 46. I have recently noticed my teeth are discolouring. I dont smoke or drink fizzy drinks, but I am a coffee (not tea) drinker. I roughly drink around 4 cups per day. The tooth next to my front left is a milk tooth with a tiny filling, and the one next to that is slightly twisted. I would like to know the following pls. (a) can I have whitening treatment that would include a milk tooth? (b) to straighten the slightly twisted tooth, how much would that cost? Thank You

Low self confidence due to gum issue causing bad teeth

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q.
I am very worried about a friend of mine who is very unhappy about her teeth. She has had severe gum disease and has lost some teeth and although the gum disease has now gone her gums and teeth are not in a good way. She can not afford the cosmetic dentistry that she needs and this is now impacting on her life. She has become very self conscious and has lost a lot of her self confidence. Is there any funding available to help her?

I am not happy with the outcome of my cosmetic dental treatment

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I have recently completed a course of cosmetic dental treatment which included a porcelain veneer on one of my front teeth. I don’t feel at all happy with it as it is rough to the touch and not the same colour as the other tooth. It appears almost stained!I am concerned to speak to my dentist as a complaint seems an insult to his work, however, the treatment was expensive and I am not happy with the result. Your advice would be appreciated as I don’t believe a pocelain veneer should be rough. Thank you for any help you are able to offer.

Would six month smile braces take longer time?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
Thank you for your very useful earlier advice. With regards to the ‘six month smile’ braces – do they really only take six months or can they end up taking longer? How reliable are they long term, i.e. would my teeth move back afterwards? Many Thanks.
