Q. Hello, I wonder if you can help me. i am in need of some possible cosmetice dental work on my teeth I have missing teeth which makes it difficult for me to chew my food on both sides of my mouth and also some gaps from an earlier procedure when i had two gold crowns fitted. As a result I am no longer confident to smile in front of people or have my picture taken even face to face conversations make me feel uncomfortable I tend to avoid talking directly to people for fear that they will see the mess that my teeth have become it also affects me socially now in that I find myself withdrawing myself from my friends and family I make excuses why i cant attend most functions. I dont have a great deal of money in terms of paying for any surgery that i may require and that is why i have had to suffer this for so long now, I have scoured the internet looking for the best prices and also respected dental surgeons like yourself but it is too expensive for me and I dont know where or who to turn to for help or advice. My situation is now at the point where I try not to engage with people socially anymore I would like to get my teeth sorted out and in turn make my life better than the way it is now Thank you,
