Hello Andrew. I have been quoted by my dentist £1995 for a ceramic bridge ( metal base I think ). It’s for the back teeth on one side, I thought there was one tooth missing but he says there is two missing. This price seems very high to me, it is a private clinic, with a very good reputation. I was originally going to opt for an implant as I had been told by a previous dental practice that a bridge wasn’t a viable option. Can you advise on what would be the best course of action to take next? Thank you for your time.

Can I qualify for free orthodontic treatment if I am in full time education at the age of 18?
Wednesday, October 17th, 2012 Hi Andrew, I wondered if you could help me? At the age of 14, I was told by my dentist that I would require orthodontic treatment to fix my out of shape mouth.
The orthodontics couldn’t offer me treatment for another 2 and a half years, so my parents paid £1,800 for me to have it done there and then to save the wait. I was meant to have them on for 18 months, but they got removed after about a year as apparently my treatment had finished. I wore my retainer for 6 months and all was fine.
I am now 18, going to be 19 in December, and my bottom teeth are all out of shape again, and I have a big overbite of my upper jaw. I am still in full time education, can I qualify for free treatment? Even though I’ve had it before, paid for it, and it was only a temporary fix?
Many Thanks
I’ve been told to let my teeth fall out then I can receive dentures, what would you suggest I do?
Friday, August 10th, 2012 Hi, I wondered if you give me some advice regarding my dental matter? My gums have receded badly and where my 4 front teeth are positioned my teeth are all loose. I am considering dental implants but would this be possible as my gums have receded, what is the likely cost?
My dentist suggested that I leave the teeth until they fall out and then wait up to 6 weeks for dentures. I do not want to wait 6 weeks. They are now uncomfortable and I am having a lot trouble when eating. What else would you suggest? Thank you.
Would I benefit from have a dental implant procedure in the future?
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012I’m trying to decide whether or not to have a root canal done on tooth #32, or to have it pulled and possibly have a dental implant done in the future. What are the cost comparisons, benefits, etc., to having one or the other. I have had several root canals done in the past. At my age of 50+, I really need to weigh my options. Root canals can be expensive but I’m not quite sure how much a dental implant will cost me. I have dental insurance that will cover half the cost. I just need some professional advice. I am really leaning towards having it pulled since it’s all the way in the back of my mouth. Please advise.
