Dear Dr Moore, I feel I am in need of extensive dental work but do not have the funds to pay for it. I have many missing teeth some of which are at the front and I feel that having these gaps filled would make a huge difference to how I feel about myself. I also have a pallet that I often struggle to wear and this now needs replacing as more teeth are now missing. I dream about the thought of having permanent implants one day but any advice on how to achieve this would be more than appreciated. I am looking forward to your reply and I hope you can help.
Hi. I went to dental for an X-ray for my painful tooth recently. My Doctor says my wisdom tooth is growing slanted and is moving into the second molar. But the wisdom tooth still looks okay. Just that second molar along is starting to decay. I thought I’d just be able to pluck out the second molar that’s having pain. But in order to save money I am able to use Medisave, I’ve been advised to pluck out the wisdom tooth beside it as well. I really don’t know what should do. I’m 24. Will there be any risk with this type of procedure? Thank you for your reply in advance.
Hi Dr Moore. Most of my back teeth have rotted away down to the gum line, I’m struggling to eat properly and have lost all my self confidence. I try not to speak to people so they don’t see what’s going on inside my mouth but I can’t afford to go to a dentist. I would need major work to fix them but am in a low paying job and can only just afford to pay my bills without paying thousands of pounds to a dentist. If I leave them how long will it be till I’m in serious trouble?
Hi Dr Moore. I was thinking about getting a couple of gold teeth but I don’t know much about it. I do have a hole in one tooth that I want to get done with gold, a canine and also the one to the left of my canine. Can you tell me how much it will cost please? I don’t want a 24 carrot one, a nine carrot would be okay. Do I have to provide the gold myself or is that in the price? Where should I look for this type of procedure and would a payment plan be suitable for me.
Hi! I had crowded teeth on my upper jaw during my childhood and it has been fixed with bridges. The treatment started with jaw enlargement, but there was not enough space for all the teeth. After the treatment the teeth on my lower progressed and started to become crowded, in addition I have a deep bite and jaw pains, as well as problems with chewing. I am 21 years old and would like to have treatment for this. The question I have is, if I am unable to carry out full payment, will there be credit opportunities available?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi. I have okay teeth but quite a few with mercury filling, some missing due to pregnancy (This is over 17 years ago) and now I feel I may lose a front one. I have a face to face job role which is why I would like to know if you could recommend or if possible either free or very low cost veneers done by a student. I have had my front top two redone as the enamel was eroding them. I am on a low income but I am willing to contribute. I am finding it difficult to find a dentist and feel for me to keep my teeth this is my only option. I do not like to ask but I also do not want to not smile again. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks.
I had braces which my dentist removed one and a half year back. I didn’t wear the retainers as it hurt a lot. She completed my treatment without removing any of my teeth. After finishing my treatment I still felt that my upper teeth were still in front and my friends felt that too. What should I do to get my teeth straight? I don’t want braces again. Is there any other option which would have a reasonable cost since I have spent more than 40k on my treatment already?
Hello Dr Moore, I require your help. I want full set top implant supporting dentures but no matter how much I ask I cannot get a straight answer for how much it costs for mini or a standard full top set of supporting implants? Please help me with this as I currently have dentures that do not fit and when I told my dental practice where I live, he told me to take them and go somewhere else. I can’t eat anything much other than soft food and my quality of life is not so good. I look forward to your reply.
