Dentist has said he may have to remove badly decayed teeth. Is there no other option?

Friday, October 1st, 2010
Q.
I’m 18 years old. The last 2 years i’ve had alot of issues with my depression and anxiety, so my teeth and gums have been the least of my worries. I have been drinking fizzy drinks and eating junk pretty much everyday without hardly brushing them. I’m getting alot better now and decided to go dentist for the first time in 2 years. Obviously i wasn’t expecting my teeth to be great. My dentist said there not too bad but i do have some problems, like slightly discoloured and a few holes in the back ones. I had 2 fillings today and he was shocked to find out the holes were bigger than he thought they were, he said he could try his best but if worst comes to worst i would have to get them taken out. I was wondering is removing them my only option? I don’t want to hit 19 and have false teeth, i see celebs have perfect white teeth and there not false. If you could be of any help it will be very much appreciated thank you,

Is the cost of implants I have been estimated correct, and what can be done for front teeth that have moved due to missing tooth?

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Tennet, I would like to ask 2 questions please if you don’t mind. Question 1. I have quite a few problems with my teeth at the moment, probably due to neglect and not visiting the dentist enough, but I have 3 teeth missing on the right hand side of my mouth at the top, and I have been to see a cosmetic dentist who does seem to have a good reputation, although I have not been to him before. I have had a quote for 2 teeth to be replaced with implants. The quote is £1400 for each implant, and £1000 for each implant retained crown. A total of £4800 for 2 teeth. I would just like your opinion on the price please. I live in the Grimsby area of Lincolnshire. Question 2. All my teeth are fairly good at the front, except that years ago I had a tooth removed from the top left, and because of this my top teeth have all moved to the left and I now have one of my two front teeth right in the middle. In other words my two front teeth are not in the middle any more. Could you please advise me what is the best treatment to correct this, or as near as possible. Thank you Dr. Tennet. Yours sincerely.,
