Can I Have My Own Bridge Put Back In?

Friday, May 20th, 2016
Q.

I have had a Maryland bridge since 1991/92. It has been fine until the last month or so. It started to become painful and uncomfortable for some reason and I could feel the metal at the bottom of the tooth it was attached to. I have always tried to keep the area flossed over the years and recently used the little brushes from the chemists, but there has been an area at the top/back which I have not been able access. Question 1) has the cement started to crumble?
Question 2) I would like to know, is it possible put my same bridge back? As its a perfect match.

How Can I Go About Getting a Free Consultation?

Wednesday, June 10th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I have just watched your interview on Northwest Tonight. You mentioned that your clinic does interest free credit over 36 months. Please could you tell me a little more about this and how I would go about booking an initial consultation with yourself? I have had a lot of dental work in the past, bridges etc. For a while now my 2 front teeth have been moving further apart and it certainly doesn’t feel safe to eat certain kinds of foods.
Thank you.

Which Replacement Teeth Option Would be Right for Me?

Thursday, February 5th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I am a 63 year old man and my teeth are in need of a holiday. I am afraid to go ahead and have them removed because many years ago I had a partial palate made which just made me vomit so I never wore it. What can be done these days to prevent this? Once my teeth are removed there is no going back and because of my profession I need to look at least half decent and being on stage and vomiting my teeth out over an audience may not go over very well! Hope you can help. Thank you.

My Dental Bridge Feels Grainy Against My Tongue. Can This be Polished Smooth?

Monday, September 8th, 2014
Q.

Hey Dr Hughes. I have just had a 4 tooth dental bridge fitted by my dentist, and the bridge feels great with no pain. However, the texture of the bridge is not smooth, it feels grainy against my tongue, as if there is grit under the glaze. I had 2 front crowns done by the same dentist last year and they feel great, the texture is smooth and glass like. The bridge is on the upper back 4 teeth. This problem is irritating me no end. My question is, can this be polished smooth in my mouth without harming the glaze or should I request a new bridge? Will removing the bridge harm the original teeth underneath? Many thanks.

I Have Been Considering Dental Implants But Find Them Costly? Could You Advise Me?

Monday, August 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel, I am 54 years old and an ex-smoker. My teeth are mostly bridges, and my question is: Could I have these replaced for a whiter, brighter smile? I have being considering implants so as to have something more permanent, but found them to be very costly. I do understand you can pay monthly which I am considering at a lesser cost to replacing what I already have. Could you advise me? Or do I need to see dentist? Thank you for your time.

My Front Tooth Is Skewed And Has Grown Above The Other Ones. Which Treatment Other Than Braces Would Be Suitable To Correct This?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi, I have a front tooth that has grown up above all the other ones in the gum, it is the only one that is skewed and moving a bit above the right one. I get a hard time having to talk cause only the gap appears until I smile and reveal them. I would like to know the best possible, non-expensive procedure to have it in line with the others but I do not want to go for braces. I have heard of veneers, dental and cosmetic bonding, but could any of them be an option? Any other method? Thanks.

Is There Anywhere You Would Recommend For Me To Go Abroad To Get Dental Implants?

Monday, June 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I have just paid nearly four thousand for two dental implants, and I was quoted almost fifteen hundred for two bridges for my upper right jaw. Would I get this cheaper by going abroad to get this work done? I was thinking about going to Croatia as I am familiar with certain areas of the country. Could you make a recommendation for anywhere else outside of the UK within a price range that I can afford. Do you know how many visits it would take for me to get this work done also?

My Teeth Have Pushed Forward Through Sucking My Thumb. What Can Be Done To Bring Them Into Line Without A Brace?

Friday, June 6th, 2014
Q.

My front two teeth are angled forward, as if pushed out due to sucking my thumb too much and the two teeth at either side of those are too small and sit slightly back. These are the only four teeth with which I have a problem. What can be done to bring them into line without a brace? I hate the shape of the four teeth and would like them replaced, are crowns the best option or would a dental bridge be suitable? And what would be the expected price? Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.

I Have Been Quoted The Sum Of £1000 For Two Fixed Bridges. Is This A Fair Price?

Monday, May 19th, 2014
Q.

Dear Mark. I have been quoted the sum of £1000 for two fixed bridges on the upper teeth. Is this a fair price? I am returning to my dentist today to get a breakdown of the costs involved.
My jaw is not suitable for implants.
Could you suggest any other options for replacing these teeth please? Also how long does a dental bridge last as I am concerned that I may have to pay this amount of money again in a few years.
Thank you.
