I suffer from Amelogenisis Imperfecta, are dental implants my best option?

Thursday, July 21st, 2011
Q.

I suffer with amelogenises imperfecta, should I have to pay for dental treatment (if I suffered with my thyroids I would get free prescriptions for the foreseeable future).
I have previously had my teeth capped and obviously they now need doing again, a cost of which I will regularly incur throughout my life (I am now 40), so will be the 3rd time I will need this doing.
Would I be better of going down the root of implants?

Are my veneers fitted correctly?

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello recently  I have just had veneers fitted  as one of my front teeth had died and had turned yellow .Also there was a gap between my teeth which has been closed slightly and the front four teeth have been capped . But now i cant close my mouth properly and the teeth rest on my bottom lip and my top lip sticks out more. The my teeth did do this slightly before I’d gotten veneers fitted but not as much as they do now . Also when i put my bottom and top lips together it feels as if I have to stretch my lip to get it to cover my teeth, for example when you stretch your lips to rub together after you’ve just put a fresh coat of lipstick on. Surely this cant be right ?
Thank you for your time

Help tooth ache after cap is doing my head in! Can you advise?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

I had a tooth capped in November 2009. Shortly afterward i started experiencing a dull pain around that area of the mouth and gums; an uncomfortable pulse in the capped tooth and facial pain radiating from my cheekbone under my eye to that tooth. I have had many visits to doctor and dentist. My GP ruled out sinus problems and gave nme antibiotics as a precaution. Dentist has taken out a good tooth next to capped tooth in case this was causing problem; refilled teeth with new style filling in case this causing problem; and 2 weeks ago took out capped tooth although he said he could see nothing wrong there. I still have a dreadful ache and occasional; shooting pains around that area. My teeth on that side of my face ache and i cannot eat on that side without severe pain. I am desperate and do not want to loose any more good teeth. Help.

How much should it cost to have capped teeth corrected?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

About 20 years ago I had the front 4 teeth capped on my top row. At the time of treatment I got an infection which shifted from tooth to tooth eventually leading to the dentist having to drill a hole in the back of the tooth to release the pressure/pain. Eventually it settled down but it has left a lump on my gum and the tooth below has shifted down making it look unsightly and the tooth is loose. The caps are also thick looking and they look like horses teeth making it unbearable for me to smile. I visited a cosmetic dentist about a year ago to see if I can put this right as it has destroyed my confidence and he quoted me £7,500 which would include xrays. I can’t afford this amount. Can you give me any advice? Thanks.

The edge of my capped and veneered teeth is now badly stained. Can you advise on a treatment to replace this?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
I had a cap and 4 enamel veneers fitted on the NHS about 15 years ago The edges of these are now badly stained and look awful ! I know it’s likely that I will need to pay for this to be rectified or at least look better. Can you suggest what treatment options there are to cure this. Also I’m not in a great financial position at the moment so I need it to be as inexpensive as possible. Thanks,
A.
