I Have Not Been To The Dentist For 7 Years As I Have A Phobia, But I Now Really Want To Know Where I Can Get Affordable Veneers?

December 13th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, Do you know if there are any dentists in the London area that do affordable crowns or veneers. I hate my teeth and want to get cosmetic dentistry done. Also right in the middle of my bottom teeth I have a black dot. I’m wondering what it is as I have no pain in any of my teeth I have not been to the dentist for about 7 years as I have a phobia. My teeth are not in that bad condition only the left side with two teeth and the back have decay on them but the rest of my teeth are okay. Please help, I really want veneers or crowns on all my teeth. Thank you.

My Crown On On Of My Molars Has Come Off And There Isn’t Enough To Glue It Back On. What Are My Options?

December 12th, 2013
Q.

My crown on one of my molars has come off and there is not enough tooth left to glue it back on. What are my options? My dentist wants to pull it out and to put in an implant. Is that a good answer or is there an other way? The tooth that I have described is worn right to the gum line, is it possible to build it up and re-crown it? The tooth in question does not bother me and it is not sensitive, and most of my teeth have been crowned. My age is 65 and I would like to keep what I have if possible. I have had 4 implants so far and my dentist is wanting to bridge one of the ones he pulled because it was too close to my sinus and I do not have enough bone there to put in an implant.

I Start Work Soon But I Can’t Have An Immediate Denture After My Extractions. Should I Get A Second Opinion?

December 12th, 2013
Q.

I am dentist phobic – and I have gum disease – after visiting my dentist today for a scale and polish which I need to have done before I have extractions my dentist informed me that after I have my teeth removed I would have to wait 1 month before getting a denture. I asked regarding immediate dentures and he said no I would need to let it heal.  Should I go to another dentist for a 2nd opinion about the immediate denture? I start a new job within 2 weeks and will now probably have to turn the job down even though I was made redundant 6 months ago and it is a good job as I cannot do the job with no front teeth!

I Used To Have Braces But I Snapped My Retainers And My Teeth Relapsed. Can I Get Treatment A Second Time?

December 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Shaffie. I had my braces around 3 years ago but I have lost my retainers a year after wearing it and then got new ones, straight after, a couple of months later I have broke both my new retainers again and should of bought new ones but then my teeth moved all the way forward and to their normal positions. This has caused me jaw pains an I can feel my jaw widen again, also it is had to keep mouth shut, also I have an overbite, my teeth really irritate my gums causing it to be very uncomfortable. Would I be able to braces for free again at the age of 16? Thanks.

I’ve Been Considering Veneers For Ages Now. Would They Help Fix My Bucked Teeth?

December 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I’m 19 years old and I have been considering veneers for ages now. My teeth are straight but a bit bucked, they have small gaps but have stopped growing. When I bite I can rub the bottom of my teeth with my jaw clenched as my top half has moulding round my thumb as I used to suck my thumb when I was little. I also have fangs on both the bottom and the top and I hate them. I just never smile. I just wanted to know what would the price be for 12 teeth as I would rather this than braces.

Thanks.

I Drink A Lot Of Tea And My Teeth Are Becoming Loose. Will I Need A Denture Or Is There Something Else I Can Do?

December 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Shaffie. What are my options if my two front teeth are becoming loose? They feel loose and they are not stable. What are my options if my two front teeth are rotting out? I do not know if they are rotting out or not but I am worried they are. I drink a lot of tea. But I brush my teeth three times a day. But my mother had to have dentures in her early thirties and I was worried about my teeth

I do not want to leave the gaps in my mouth especially my two front teeth. Is there a way to put two fake teeth in and attach them to my gums? Thank you I hope you can answer my queries.

The Gap Between My Two Front Teeth Has Slowly Begun To Widen These Last Few Years. What Should I Do?

December 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’m 32 and I have a fairly large gap between my two front teeth (4mm) and I’m not really up for braces. Is there a way to fix them with veneers and a rough costing for this procedure. Also is it possible to get payment plans for this type of thing. The gap has been slowly getting worse for years and is really starting to get to me. I also have a front molar and the visible part has broken away, this has had a route canal done on it before. Is there any way of fixing this apart from fishing out the bottom part? I’ve had no pain or infection from this tooth.

Many thanks.

I Need To Fill A Gap As It Annoys Me, How Effective Is Dental Bonding At Filling Gaps?

December 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi Marcus, Could you possibly tell me how much dental bonding roughly costs for filling in a gap and shaping on the front teeth? I am curious as I have a gap between my front teeth it, isn’t too big but annoys me, also the bottom of my two front teeth are starting to wear away. Is there any real point in getting bonding done or is it just a waste of time and money, what are the benefits of this treatment? Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

My Teeth Have Begun To Shift Alignment Since My Mid-Twenties. What Will Sort This Out?

December 11th, 2013
Q.

I have always had quite cosmetic teeth. However, since my mid-twenties, I have noticed that my two front teeth seem to be slowly shifting to the right. The middle of one of my front teeth is now aligned with the middle of my lips.

Another tooth has become crooked and is now slightly covering one of my front teeth. I was told that this tooth can be fixed with braces.

I have a genetic overbite which I am happy with. However, I am concerned about the shifting of my two front teeth. They are still perfectly straight – just moving to the right. Is this likely to get worse over time? Is there any treatment that I can have to move them back to the centre of my mouth and keep them there?

Many thanks.

I Have Severely Crooked Teeth Due To A Childhood Illness. I’m Looking For A Competent Orthodontist. Can You Recommend One?

December 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi Marcus.

I am after a specialist advice if I may please.

The dentist I went to earlier in the year has agreed to refer me to an orthodontist, unfortunately I haven’t been contacted for a consultation.

I have severely crooked teeth due to childhood illness resulting in my baby teeth falling out before my adult teeth were formed. My teeth in general require quite a lot of work (without being overly dramatic).

Can you please direct me to a competent professional who will be able to help?

Thank you.
