Hello Mark, I have 2 teeth that I would like to get pushed forward, one on the top and one directly underneath on the bottom row, on my left side at the front of my mouth. I was wondering what the best procedure would be for this and how much it would cost? How long it will take and all the other information about the treatment? All my other teeth are pretty straight, it’s just these 2 teeth I have a problem with, appearance wise. Thanks.
Hello Andrew. Could you help me? I wanted to know if tooth bonding is a suitable treatment for my teeth which are a bit see-through? I also need braces because of my overbite. Please give me an answer as to how I can do this without spending too much money. I really need help with my teeth. I’m currently too embarrassed to go to the dentist as well. It’s been my life-long dream to be able to smile. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Okay so, I am really nervous about what they are going to do to me and my teeth! This summer I am supposed to go to the dentists or orthodontists to see what they can do about the gap in my two front teeth. I am very nervous because I don’t know what I’m going to have to get. My gap is not super big but not very small maybe about 3mm? Anyways, I was wondering what they might do for me? I have heard of so many different treatments. The rest of my teeth are straight (as far as I can tell) so I don’t really care about doing anything to the rest of my teeth. Just the appearance of my two front ones. I have heard of braces, bonding, labial frenectamy or some weird thing like that? I don’t know if this matters but I do have a price of skin connecting my lip and my gums. I don’t know if other people have this too so I figured I would mention it just in case. I don’t think it is doing anything it is just sitting there.
Hi there. I have just turned 27 years old. I used to wear braces when I was in school, the ones with the single mental line, which I could take out and put back in whenever I liked. Due to personal circumstances dental treatment stopped. As the years have gone by especially in the last few years I have noticed they are moving and are not straight. I have a job but I’m receiving working tax credit. I’ve always put dental treatment off due to costs. But now I really want braces as it’s effecting my self esteem. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about getting them at a reasonable price. Thank you.
Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can helps me. I would like some more information on having Invisalign as I am 30 years old and not sure whether that I want the other kind. My front teeth stick out quite a lot. This really gets me down and in the past I have tried to affect them as I was so depressed with them, because of what I have done to them I am scared to go to the dentist and what they might think. Please could you give me some advice? I look forward to your reply. Thank you for your time.
Hello Dr Hughes. I have had a number of teeth extracted over a 5 year period, the last being a year or so ago. The gum has now fully healed leaving no hole. My question is: Can I now get an implant? A replacement tooth to fill the gap left behind from a missing tooth even years after the tooth was extracted? If so, what is the procedure and rough idea of costs for 3 replacement teeth? Does it involve making a hole in the gum to place the implant in? Thank you.
Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can help me sort something out. I have 3 broken teeth which are very sensitive and I am in pain. But I just cannot go dentist as I’m just so scared but I need some help. The thought of another needle in my mouth makes me feel so ill. I really would like sedation just to have them all out and be done with. Please advise me on where I go from here? Is sedation possible on NHS? How quickly can I have it done? Also what do you recommend for someone as scared as myself? Even cold air on my teeth gives me have pain and chewing hard food is near on impossible. I want to get them sorted so I can have regular check-ups. Thanks.
Hi Mark. I’ve recently had dental implants and on one of them which is a bridge over two implants you can see the metal implant like the crown doesn’t quite fit, it’s definitely the metal of the implant that can be seen and not the crown, there is a small gap between crown and gum.
My dentist has said that there is nothing he can do about it but reading up I’m wondering if a gingival graft would bring the gum down a bit to cover the metal implant. Is this possible or will I need a completely new bridge?
My dentist is private and I have paid a lot of money to get all of my treatment done, is it the dentist at fault if the crown doesn’t fit properly or is it down to me to pay out for more treatment?
Hello Dr Moore. I had an upper right tooth snap off several weeks ago. It caused me no pain at the time, however in the last few days it has and is causing me serious pain and extreme facial swelling. My GP has prescribed antibiotics but the pain remains regardless. What can I take to try to relieve it? When I have finished the antibiotics do I go to a dentist or hospital? There are still remnants of the tooth in the gum but the pain is awful. I have very little funds and need to know where to turn. Thank you for your reply in advance.
