I have 2 posted crown’s as my two front upper teeth

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hello, I have 2 posted crown’s as my two front upper teeth. They have been crowned for 20 years now and i think its time i had them removed and implants to replace them. Would the removal and the titatium impant be done on the same day and also would the temporary teeth be fitted also. I would also want to have veneers fotted to the remaining upper teeth to compliment. It would seem you’re quite the expert when it comes to implants but as i live i yorkshire could you advise on my travelling after the proceedure? As in would i be ok to drive……ok to catch the train or would i need a overnight? Many thanks

I’ve long been rather embarrased about my teeth

Monday, December 22nd, 2008
Q.
Hi, I’ve long been rather embarrased about my teeth. They are both very crooked and discoloured and I’m looking to get them corrected. I was looking at veneers but was not sure if my teeth needed straightening first as they are not only crooked but have rotated and are not even in line. I’d also not have braces or visible mouth work if possible due to my line of work. Can you give me any advice. I’m also rather curious as to how much it would cost roughly.

I have had Inman Aligners which I wore for over 9 months

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008
Q.
I have had Inman Aligners which I wore for over 9 months before giving up because I had to work abroad. My teeth had not got into the position they were promised they would by my dentist. Now I am back in the UK, I would like to finish treatment but not by the same dentist. He said I should try invisalign and I would only need 2 sets, but how can I be sure this would be right? I do not want to go through more money and time and maybe 4 or 5 sets of expensive invisalign. Can you advise? Can you promise that Invisalign ARE invisable! I have to work with the public and speak a lot to them. I do not want months of mickey taking again.

my third tooth is twisted

Friday, December 12th, 2008
Q.
Hi I was hoping you could give me an idea of what the best way of sorting out my smile would be and maybe a rough idea of how much it would cost. When i was younger my third tooth i think its called the canine grew twisted and closer to the front than it should have because of this my second tooth never grew so now i have one tooth in the middle of where two teeth should be with gaps on both sides. i don’t mind if my rogue tooth needed to be removed for the best results. But i would like to be able to smile properly as quickly and cheaply as possible as it is really beginning to get me down. Thank you in advance for your help & advice I look forward to hearing from you.

I have known for a while I will need braces

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am 17 years old, and I have known for a while I will need braces. i go to an NHS orthodontist and have a removable brace. However, I have been told I need to have four teeth out. This is a big problem for me because I am terrified of needles and having the teeth pulled out. I have tried to have the teeth pulled out four times, twice under sedation. I would like to know if there any braces which I could have which would not need any teeth pulling out, as I would love to have straight teeth. Thank You.

It is usually possible to have… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I am 23 years old my teeth have started rotting

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
I am 23 years old. I have had 3 children, and during my pregnancies my teeth started rotting, so me being pregnant, thinking I could not help. I did not go. I stopped brushing my teeth for awhile because they would hurt, my gums would be very tender and bleed (they still do). I try to brush my teeth now and I still have the same problem. I have a lot of holes, a missing k-9 tooth, a couple of rotting wisdom teeth, missing moullers. It hurts sometimes no matter what I eat. It seems as though when I chew my teeth are going to just break. I’m so afraid of losing my teeth but I’m afraid of pain and I don’t like to hear my teeth being pulled out, that sounds awful. I know I should go see a dentist and I really want to, but money is always an issue. My credit is awful but I need help so bad. My mouth is falling apart and I’m so sad about this that it almost makes me feel depressed and I don’t like to smile or even open my mouth. I don’t even like to kiss anymore!! 🙁 please help do I still have a chance?

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to somehow ‘file’ down my two front teeth by about 1mm as they are not really inline with the rest? if this is possible then presumably it would be one of the more cheaper options? Could you give me an idea of rough price please? Thanks in advance
