Need a reasonable and honest dentist

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had problems with mt teeth for many years after being on stroids as a child. In April I had my entire top set of teeth taken out in preparation for implants, I lost confidence in my dentist after many issues. The final straw was when after quoting verbaly that it would cost in the region of £8-10k, he then after extractions quoted 15k!! I have no real idea of the correct price and am getting quotes. I live in Derby and would like to find someone I can trust/within a reasonable travelling distance and at an honest price. Can you advise/support? Thanks for your time.

Cost for reconstructing my teeth following periodontal disease

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I am about to start looking for a dentist to do some reconstructive work on my teeth. I am about to lose many teeth due to genetic periodontitis. I am willing to have some existing teeth pulled if it makes the procedure easier – I do not hold out much hope for most of them. My preferred option would be bridges secured by implants, if possible. Can you advise me of the options I may have and the cost implications of same.

I need to bring my front teeth forward as they are pushed back

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
Dear Mr Bohara, My top central incisors or the teeth shown when u smile closest to the nose. Have been pushed outwards to such a degree that, when i smile you cannot see many teeth and definitely not my top set of teeth. This is highly embarrassing for me, are there anyways i can push them back in??. I presume this was caused due to the fact that, i used to suck my thumb throughout my child hood. Causing my teeth to be pushed outwards. What can i use to push my teeth inwards? can i use removable retainers? rather than fixed braces??

A.

Q.
I have a hairdressing salon. A friend is investing in laser teeth whitening products including a laser machine. my friend is not a dentist and is thinking of having someone who is n ot trained in any form of dentistry to do the treatments. My friend is asking me to rent some space for his little business. I do not feel comfortable about this and am concerned with public liability issues.
