Dr Bohara is doing my teeth in Loughborough

Monday, August 4th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr. Solanki, I`m 25 and dr. Bohara is doing my teeth in Loughborough. The problem is that the gum on upper left 1 is raised due to a too big a crown put previosly by someone else. My teeth are quite small, I have lots of gum showing. For him to do the best of my teeth he suggested gum surgery. My question is can laser gum reshaping do it, as there`s no way on earth I`m having oldfashioned gum surgery. Thank you

I have gum disease through thumb sucking can I gave cosmetic dentistry

Monday, July 14th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I’m 23 years old. I sucked my thumb until I was 13. My top teeth were pushed out and my bottom ones were pushed in. My bottom right 1 tooth has even turned 90 degrees so it\’s perpendicular to the others! Because of this, the dentist told me I have pockets in my gums they harbour more bacteria than normal people. 3 years ago, I started suffering from gum disease. I\ve since had 4 gum infections, 2 abscesses, 3 teeth extracted and I now have another broken tooth. My gums are wearing away too. Most of my problems are due to the fact I didn’t see a dentist from the ages of 16 and 20. I\ve started going regularly again but I’m distressed at all the work that needs doing. Is there anything that can be done for me with cosmetic dentistry? I think I need braces to start with to straighten my teeth, but then I worry that they’re beyond repair because I have missing teeth. Please help me as it has had massive effects on my confidence and self esteem as I can\’t smile or even talk properly as I’m so scared of anyone seeing my teeth.

The important thing is that yo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My teeth are falling out I smoke and I am seeing a periodontist

Sunday, July 13th, 2008
Q.
I have had periodontal disease for several years now and despite seeing a periodontist for treatment, nothing has really improved. I have lost several teeth and know I will lose more as several are now very loose. I have been looking for info and options on the net and REALLY DO NOT WANT DENTURES! I’m thinking of implants but realise the bone density is an issue but also learnt about bone grafts.If my teeth are removed and I need grafts how long would it be between treatments and before I could possibly have the implants. I’m sorry I smoke – would this prevent this treatment? What treatment could you recommend? I can’t eat properly and certainly don’t smile and I’m finding this situation very depressing. Many thanks for your reply.

how do I find a dentist abroad for dental implants and gum disease treatment

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
I am 59 years old and looking quite good apart from my teeth, which are now quite loose and have gaps between them due to gum disease. My gums are a lot better since I stopped smoking 4 years ago, but the damage has been done. My dentist says I will need dentures but I wondered if I would be a candidate for implants. However as the price in the UK is so high I was thinking about going abroad. How would I set this process in motion?

I am afraid I really would not… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
