I have huge gums and tiny teeth what would surgery cost
Q. Hi there, I am very self-conscious about my smile. I have huge gums and very tiny teeth, they look like baby teeth still. My bottom front teeth wore away all the enamel from my top two front teeth and I have had essentially fillings put on the back of them to stop them wearing down further. I fear now though, that my bottom teeth are now wearing down even more now against these fliings and they’re tiny as it is! I have a deep bite and when I totally clench my teeth you can’t see my bottom teeth at all. I think I would be a good case study! I think I would need the whole lot done! I think I would need my teeth repositioned, gum surgery and possibly veneers, but I’m no expert. :o) What is your opinion and what would those procedures cost in total?
A. It does sound that you urgently need a dentist to treat your worn teeth.
There are generally 2 ways to treat your problem , often combining the 2 treatment options.
It sounds as though your problems with your teeth wearing all stem from how your teeth are positioned in your arches.i.e. having a deep overbite/overjet. This could be treated using a brace, or opening your bite up with onlays and crowns, or a combination of the 2.
Within my practice this treatment would cost in the range of £10000 to £ 25000 depending upon exactly how bad your situation has become. Obviously before treatment could begin you would need a comprehensive assessment of your oral health to accurately detail all of your concerns and problems.
Hope this helps
Kindest regards
Dear Dentist
Since my wisdom teeth grew to full size my insizors have been dramatically pushed
Together, this resulted in less gaps “good” but each of my insizors next to the main front ones have been strangely turned 90 degrees. So the fronts of each tooth point towards my cheeks. As well as this I also have unusual gum retreation “bad”. I brush twice daily and floss every day. I am also 32 and not old. Can these be treated? For example, cover the gums over the visible roots that show and twist the two insizors around to correct position?
