Is my dentists charging me for work that I might not need or may not even be right for me?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi – I want to my NHS dentist this morning in Essex, and I am a little concerned on something. Two years ago, I had a dental implant (front tooth) and recently it is chipping away around the sides and looking a little gappy. Firstly, he did not remember it was him that put the actual implant in. Secondly, I did not realise this until now, but he has booked me in to come back for a crown on this tooth. Is this normal, or would he think that it is only a crown on the tooth rather than implant? Thirdly, I obv paid for this already, when it was originally done. He is charging me again, is this right? Many thanks if you can help, because I am concerned about paying all the money again and not getting a proper job done.,

Can I have composite fillings placed instead of dental veneers?

Friday, May 21st, 2010
Q.
I have recently chipped my tooth in a fall, the front top right tooth. I have a very expensive quote for 2 front veneers approx 3K! Is this appropriate as it doesnt seems that bad, wouldn’t composite suffice? The reason for the front 2 veneers was the teeth were overlapping before, the overlapped tooth is brokent the other looks fine.. wouldnt composite suffice? Thanks,

Would implants be a better option than re-crowning?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Q.
Hi i broke my 2 front teeth as a teenager and have had the same Crowns ever since (prob 15 years now!) A couple of years later i had to have the tooth next to my front teeth crowned as i chipped this tooth also. Now there are gaps between my crowns and my gums which leave my gum line looking black. The front 2 caps are not straight and due to the shape of my gums one appears longer than the other and protrudes more. What are my options as i am desperate to improve their appearance? Would implants be a better option than recrowning as would these then appear straight and the same size? Or would i have to have these Crowed again… all i want is a straight healthy whiter looking smile without the black line around the tops of my gums. WHat rough cost would be needed for treatment?,
A.
I would sound like just replac… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
