Is it better to go to a cosmetic dentist to recieve treatment for crowns and do they work on finance?

Friday, April 8th, 2011
Q.

Hi I had an accident in November and smashed the front 3 teeth out. I have been advised I require 6 crowns at £600 a tooth, my dentist has been excellent so far in helping me but is not cosmetic, would it be better to go to a cosmetic dentist for this work on finance or is there a way to get it done free on NHS? It’s really depressing me as my teeth were okay before and I just would like to sorted out now, as I have also been advised due to trauma and infections I should wait another 6 months to start the work. Thanks

I would like to have my teeth whitened but one of my front teeth has been damaged in the past and is alot darker than my other teeth.

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Patal,

I am considering having my teeth whitened. However when i was younger one of my front teeth was knocked slightly. It is now I’d say about 2 shades darker than the rest of my teeth. Do you think if I whiten my teeth it will stay the same colour and look really obvious? I don’t think it’s dead just got a bit hurt when it was knocked. I havent had it filled or anything.

Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

How much do braces cost?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

hiya. iv been looking into getting braces for a while now but didnt realise how expensive they can be! im 23 years old, and my teeth are slightly crowded. im thinking if having braces fitted as iv noticed that my one tooth on one side has slowly started to move back, and i dont want this to happen to my other teeth. i was jus emailing to ask a rough price guide for braces that you offer? i no its difficult to say without having assessed my teeth, but i was jus looking for a rough price guide, including one for the 6 months smile i think it was.
thanks,
