I Drink A Lot Of Tea And My Teeth Are Becoming Loose. Will I Need A Denture Or Is There Something Else I Can Do?

Wednesday, December 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Shaffie. What are my options if my two front teeth are becoming loose? They feel loose and they are not stable. What are my options if my two front teeth are rotting out? I do not know if they are rotting out or not but I am worried they are. I drink a lot of tea. But I brush my teeth three times a day. But my mother had to have dentures in her early thirties and I was worried about my teeth

I do not want to leave the gaps in my mouth especially my two front teeth. Is there a way to put two fake teeth in and attach them to my gums? Thank you I hope you can answer my queries.

After A Great Deal Of Restoration On My Teeth, I’ve Decided I Now Want Implants. What Is The Average Price For This Type Of Treatment?

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I have something that’s been on my mind and I hope you can help me with it. I have had a great deal of restoration on my teeth and would like to start having implants rather than continuously having further treatment to restore old fillings etc. I am 57 years old, look after, what is left of my teeth, fanatically. I have been forced out of work, ex military, age etc, and would prefer to keep the cost as low as possible. Could you advise me whether I can have implants and what would be an average price for this treatment? Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Is There Any Way I Can Get Implants For Free As My Dentures Are Making My Life A Misery?

Friday, December 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Shaffie. My dream is to have real teeth again. Since I was fitted with top dentures my worse nightmare has come true.  I am 49 years old and I’ve had top plastic dentures for 3 years now. I have stopped going out into the public I’ve lost my confidence completely. It’s impossible for me to ever save up whilst I’m on income support. My dream come true is to get my all my top teeth fitted with implants something is telling me to ask a dentist online. Is there any clinic which offer reduced rates to help my dream come true. Thank you.

My Bridges Are Deteriorating And My Choices Are Dental Implants Or Plastic Dentures. What Would You Suggests?

Friday, November 29th, 2013
Q.

I have had a number of consultations with my local dentist, due to the deterioration in the teeth that are supporting two bridges (which I’ve had for about 20 years) on the upper left and right side of my mouth. The choices are plastic dentures or dental implants. To me implants are the only choice. My dentist would refer me to a private clinic, but I am keen to get as good impartial advice/consultation as possible. There is some sensitivity under my bridges and I don’t want to see further deterioration. I am very concerned about the cost as well, and if payment plans are possible, as my dentist is quoting £2000 per implant. Could you advise me? Would you offer a consultation? Many thanks.

How Reliable Are Cantilever Bridges As An Alternative To Implant Placement?

Thursday, November 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hussein Shaffie, Could you tell me how reliable are cantilever bridges as an alternative to implant placement? More specifically, in a situation where an implant has failed once? In the situation, there were two implants placed next to each other, and one failed. These are two of the front teeth, the lateral incisor and canine. The canine implant is still there, but the incisor implant failed. What do you recommend as the best option for someone interested in a more permanent solution than a retainer with teeth? Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Thursday, November 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I hope you can help me. I need to have 4 front teeth removed with scaling & root planning done. Dentist said the other teeth were borderline, some might be saved after the root planning. I have two options to choose from and only considering implants at this time.  Other than cost,

My Husband Has Suffered Bad Dentistry And Has Lost Teeth As A Result. Would He Be A Suitable Candidate For Implants?

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
Q.

My husband is 55 and has had very bad experiences with dentists resulting over time in his teeth being removed, bad cosmetic dentistry etc. The result is that he has very few teeth of his own left and a variety of bad caps/coverings etc. Before that he had a lovely smile and is now very self conscious and is desperate to get his smile back, but is very nervous about going to the dentist and ashamed about the condition of his teeth. What treatments would be available to him? Would he be a suitable candidate for implants? If so what is the price range for this work?
Thank you.

I Have Dentures Which I Dislike. Would I Be Suitable For Dental Implants?

Monday, November 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I have upper dentures and only 9 bottom teeth because of advanced gum disease. I want to know if a whole upper implant is possible and how costly it would be if it was possible?

I’m Not Happy With My New Implants As They Don’t Match Up Properly. What Can I Do About These?

Thursday, November 7th, 2013
Q.

I have been going through the process of preparing my mouth for two lateral incisor implants for over 3 years. Finally yesterday, my “teeth” were ready to be placed. I was so excited, because I have had holes in my mouth for almost 4 years now. When my dentist handed me the mirror, I was completely disappointed. The teeth are too small, and they do not sit on my gums. Which makes it look like I am still wearing the retainer I had to fill in the spaces, which was way too small. The colouring isn’t right either. I am very very disappointed and angry, because I’ve waited so long. I am 19, and have hated my teeth my whole life, and now after all that work, I still hate them. What can I do about these?

A.
I’d advise that you come for a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
