I am having a dilemma, whether to get implants or find a cheaper less drastic solution?

Monday, January 31st, 2011
Q.

I am about to embark on some
expensive orthodentistry but havnt
decided what or who yet.

My problem is this.

I have a full row of top teeth – crowned
bridged – and the odd one of my own.
They have served me well but now
i a 61 the gums have receded &
and the stumps inside the crowns
r rotted giving an ugly black margin
between gum and tooth on about
6 of the teeth.

Bottom row – many removed teeth
hidden by a prosthesis denture
which shows silver”’ claw’ when i
smile widely. Bottom solution i
believe is dental implants. BUT
question like answering now is:
Is there anything less drastic n
expensive than implants to hide
decay in the gap on top row?

Thank you.

I had lots of orthodontic work 7 years ago, however my teeth have moved back and are discoloured, how should I rectify this?

Friday, January 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr Glaister,

From the age of 13-16 I had a lot of orthodonist work done. I am missing my adult Lacteral incisors on both sides so once my teeth were straightened I was fitted with 2 maryland bridges to fill the gaps. 7 years later and my teeth have all moved and are discoloured. My central Incisors have moved slightly (one forward/one backwards) which has caused my bridges to also move out of line. The bridges are also a lot darker than my natural teeth. I’d like to have them straightened, whitened and the bridges replaced. Can you please give me some suggestions to the best way to do this. Would I have some sort of brace fitted with the old bridges still in place or would I receive temporary ones? Which brace do you think would be the most efficent and quickest? Do you think it is a bad idea to whitened my teeth and then get my new bridges to match the colour as it will lead to possible unmatched colours in the future? I’m on quite a tight budget so could you please give me some sort of cost estimation for the work suitable?

A.

Friday, January 28th, 2011
Q.

I am 35 years old, and believe it or not only just realised that fact I have a very slight underbite! No dentist has ever mentioned this to me before, which astounds me! To be honest I’ve never even noticed most people’s teeth are set differently! One front tooth in particular is really starting to protrude though. I was wondering what are the most cost effective actions to try and rectify this?
