Q.
I have a partial denture for my upper left and right lateral incisors, but am interested in looking at implants, as this would be a more permanent solution.I admit I have not looked after my teeh very well in the past but I am determined to this time but dont fancy wearing dentures long term – my NHS dentist has mentioned veneers or bridges but not sure about that either. Many thanks.

Is its true that partial acrylic denture not available in nhs?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Q.
At the moment I have a 4 tooth bridge which is at the front on my upper teeth. It is a hinge which I have been told is broken so at the moment this is only supported on the one side which is on a post. I have been told by 2 dentists that as this is a large bridge I will now have to have a denture which although not happy have accepted this is the only solution. My problem that before I had my bridge had a plate and as have a strong gag reflex didn’t not get on with this at all also when I was eating it shifted as was most uncomfortable. I have been shown a denture that is metal and doesn’t seem to cover the roof of my mouth would this be a better option than the normal partial acrylic denture for me? I have been told that this is not available on the NHS? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Is its possible to replace veneers by having baby teeth removed?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hi. I went to the dentist a few weeks ago, I had a tooth that was lose. She told me it was a baby canine. After doing an x-ray, she said the tooth on the other side was also a baby, and that both adult tooth, were still up in the gums. She talked about braces and having the adult teeth exposed. I really do not want to have braces. I’m 26. Is it possible to just have the baby teeth removed and have veneers put in instead???

I need implants that are strong and stable could you help?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
I am 51 years of age and had a brace fitted approx 10 years ago. All of my teeth have been pushed in too far, resulting in a narrowing and picked look to my face. The dentist in question has admitted liability to negligence, but mostly to taking too many teeth out. I now have broken teeth and 2 bridges fitted in with super glue and a bad from of gum disease, with likely hood that I will lose most of my teeth. In the last couple of years I have been so embarrassed by my look and the constant failure of the bridges that I have been too ashamed to work. I am desperately looking for cosmetic dentistry that will permanently improve what has happened. I am an athletic type of person so really need implants that are strong and stable and long lasting. I have been to two other dentist pratices for a programme of treatment but both have proved not satisfactory for my long term needs. I am pretty sure I will need bone grafting and would prefer to have as many teeth replaced with implants and not bridges. My bite is also a problem and is causing me problems. I used to have a wide big smile the treatment with the brace has seriously changed my face and aged me quite considerably. I am now single as a result of this, so it has had a very dramatic effect to my life. My solicitor has been hopeless in all of this and is just wanting me to choose any dentist for work, which I am not willing to do, he will also need a programme of cost and upkeep etc. Please can you help.
