I Get Sensitive Teeth But My Dentist Won’t Do Anything About It. What Would You Suggest I Do?

Friday, May 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark. I still have all my baby teeth apart from the front two on the top and bottom. I am now 19. They’re not loose, however they are painful. When I eat or drink certain things my teeth send a bolting ice pain that shoots through them and it really hurts. It makes me feel really down about my smile as with them being so small they make my mouth appear ‘gappy’. My previous dentist doesn’t really pay attention to my teeth maybe this is because I was an NHS customer. However now I work full time and I pay but I still don’t receive a service where he will look into the issues I’m having. What would you suggest I do? Thank you for your time.

Do You Know How I Can Get In Touch With Any Dentists Who Offer A Payment Plan?

Friday, May 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I’ve been trying to get help for a long time but I don’t know how to go about it. I had a partial top denture fitted some years ago now all the remaining top teeth have decayed and I seriously need help. Someone told me that there are dentists who would do the work required on a payment plan? I don’t know of any? The damage done to my teeth was mainly caused by an ill fitted denture and the dentist that did the work is no longer there. Just getting up each day is so depressing. Every time I look at my teeth I just want to lock myself away. I would appreciate any advice or help you could give me. Thank you.

I Am Unhappy With My Four Front Teeth. Should I Go For Invisalign Or Veneers?

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I am unhappy about my front upper 4 teeth and for many years I have felt insecure about myself. I wanted to get veneers done simply because they seem cheaper and correction allows for quicker results. However a dentist has advised me to go for Invisalign. He said as my teeth were in good condition and not as bad as I think it would be better as I am only upset with their positioning. The dentist said it would take 6 months to complete the course and cost around £1400. Please can you advise if I have received good advice? How would I know if I am in good hands and paying the right price? Many thanks (36 years old).

I Get Embarrassed Whenever I Smile With My Large Front Teeth. I Wonder What Can Be Done?

Tuesday, May 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark. I am 21 years old and my 2 front teeth are bigger than normal ones. I get embarrassed whenever I smile with them and I’ve also got a tooth growing out the top of my gum. I’ve got a couple of bottom teeth that are wobbly too, even though I clean them twice a day and I’m a non-smoker. Also, I’ve got a tooth missing next to the front tooth but the tooth from the gum covers it up. They don’t get any cleaner no matter how much I clean them. I am just wondering what there is to be done as I’m only 21 and it’s not looking good for me in the future? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

My Canines Stick Out, I Need My Teeth Straightened. What Braces Should I Have To Boost My Confidence?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I have canine teeth that stick out a lot on my top teeth and therefore have resulted in slight crowding of my front top teeth. My bottom front teeth are also a little crowded. However, I am not sure which braces will be best for me as it’s only my front teeth which are not straight. I am really worried about my teeth as I don’t like smiling and they affect my confidence in public situations a lot.
I am not keen on having the standard metal braces as I don’t want them to look too obvious. I will be happy to pay £1500 or less to straighten my teeth. Which braces do you think I should have?

Is It Possible To Remove A Tooth And Then Fit A Bridge For A Better Appearance And To Boost My Confidence?

Thursday, April 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I have a lower front tooth which is set much further back than the other three. Is it possible to remove the tooth and then fit a bridge for a better appearance? Although it is a healthy tooth it is very detrimental to my confidence. Having a straight set of lower front teeth would massively boost my confidence. Braces are far too expensive and because the other three teeth have now closed the gap and pushed it further back I believe it would take years to straighten, if it was even possible.

Many thanks.

Hi Mark. I Need My Teeth Straightening To Boost My Confidence. Are There Any Innovative Treatments Out There That Can Help Me?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I am a student with overlapping front teeth
I am interested in treatments to solve this as it affects my self-confidence and I just want a smile that looks great.
I don’t want conventional braces. Price/cost of treatment is also a factor to consider as I am a Student and not really rolling in the paper at the minute.
My lower set of teeth is also out of line, but my real issue is just the two front centre teeth of which one is considerably overlapping the other. Please help, as the profession I wish to pursue is one of self-confidence, image and dialogue. All which are detrimental at the minute because of my teeth. I was going to have braces when I was 11; one of my biggest regrets is allowing the orthodontist at the time put me off as it would of been on the NHS and at a young age. However 10 years later I’m sure there is an innovative treatment that would suffice? Thank you for your time.

My Dentist Changed My Nice Veneer For An Ugly, Yellow One. Do You Know Why He Changed It?

Thursday, April 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I hope you can help me with something that has been bugging me. My dentist removed an attractive front tooth veneer because it had fallen off once. He said he could use a far superior one so I put my trust in him. After 5 weeks of waiting with a temporary veneer he put an ugly yellow, translucent veneer one on which looks awful and is worse than veneer he removed. He also drilled a lot of healthy tooth away prior to doing this. It has a rough surface to it and completely alters my smile. It has knocked confidence. Do you have any idea why he did this? Thank you for taking the time to reply to my enquiry.

I Want Other Options Than Braces To Fix My Overlapping Teeth. Do I Need Cosmetic Treatment?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. My upper set of teeth are showing too much when I smile and I think they look big too. My lower set of teeth is overlapping. I don’t want to use braces. I also have a little problem when I close my lips because of my teeth. I lack confidence while smiling. One dentist suggested to me that I could cap on my lower 6 so that they look straight. I am a little confused. I am 23 years old. Is cosmetic dentistry a better option for me? Could you tell me how much any potential treatment would cost? Thank you in advance for your reply.
