Hello Marcus. I’m 44 years old and I have some teeth missing, mainly the back teeth and the rest are so worn down I don’t want to smile. It’s really affecting my life and my confidence, my wife has even started to comment on them. I can’t even eat a packet of crisps without them hurting. What can I do and where do I start? I really hope you can help me. Thank you for your time in advance.
Hello Dr Gambroudes, I just want to ask a quick question. I’m 19 and I need work done on my teeth. I’ve had a bridge fitted and a few teeth built up to look more natural. I was told they would only last a few years and I would now like something more permanent. I’ve heard from friends that I can get teeth done by a student dentist. I was wondering if you can recommend anything. I’m very self-conscious about the way my teeth look and would like something to be done. Thank you.
Hello Dr Moore. I’ve got to do something about my teeth, I really want a straighter smile to improve my job prospects. Could you tell me how do I select a cosmetic dentist for an Inman aligner – I would appreciate getting this treatment done quickly –
are there several professionals to pick from? I have one misaligned front tooth, and would love to straighten it over the next 8 months. Is this the best braces system for straightening teeth? Thank you for your time I am very much looking forward to your reply.
Hi Dr Moore. Most of my back teeth have rotted away down to the gum line, I’m struggling to eat properly and have lost all my self confidence. I try not to speak to people so they don’t see what’s going on inside my mouth but I can’t afford to go to a dentist. I would need major work to fix them but am in a low paying job and can only just afford to pay my bills without paying thousands of pounds to a dentist. If I leave them how long will it be till I’m in serious trouble?
Hi Andrew. I’m 47 and have always had natural cream toned teeth. But, I’m now feeling quite embarrassed whenever I smile as they are now rather yellow. My dentist and my son’s orthodontist technician think that I may have antibiotic staining. (I did have various antibiotics in my teens for acne treatment) and that bleaching by the orthodontist may not have any effect or leave me with lines of discolouration.
Would laser whitening be more effective? Thank you.
Hi Dr Shaffie. I am 21 years old and I have naturally yellow teeth. I feel ashamed when I talk with somebody and I’m unable to smile properly. What are the possible solution to make my teeth white? I want to ask where I can get treatment for my yellow teeth as I’m unable to attract people and wish to have a beautiful smile. I really feel very ashamed because of yellow teeth and I don’t even smoke, drink or eat junk food, I brush daily twice. But this doesn’t help. Please give me suggestions to make them white. I hope you can help me with these problems.
Hi Dr Shaffie, I just want to know how old do you have to be to have veneers and do you have to get them done at your own dentist or can you have them done anywhere? Do they also cover big gaps? because I have a really big gap in my teeth and I want to get rid of it because I always cover my mouth when I speak and hide my teeth, but I’m only 16 and somebody told me I can’t have them at this age, also how long do they take to have done? Or is there any other way to hind gaps/get rid of them? I hope you can help me, and thank you for any advice in advance.
On my front two teeth, one of them have a big white patch and it makes the rest of my teeth look more yellow than they actually are. And I’m starting to get a few others and the front of my upper teeth. I want to try whitening them but I’m afraid that white patch will get whiter, and I really want it off because I don’t feel comfortable with it and I feel like people are always judging about it. My dentist says I have to wait until I’m either 16/18 to get it off (he didn’t say how) but I don’t want to wait that long, what can I do?
Many years ago I had an eye tooth removed and the teeth left and right of it were crowns. To fill the gap left by the eye tooth I had the crowns either side of it removed and a triple crown replaced it with the missing eye tooth. About six months ago the triple crown snapped off completely at gum level leaving just the roots in the gum. The triple crown has been replaced on three occasions using a series of pins, but keeps coming out. I am told by my dentist that the only way of overcoming this is to have the roots removed and implants put in. Of course we are now talking about three implants which at around £1700.00 each is something I just cannot afford. Unfortunately this is now affection me psychologically, as my job as a Premises Manager at a local secondary school means I am in constant contact with members of staff, teachers, parents and contractors. I also have to attend meetings with the head and governors all of which is making me very self conscious of my missing teeth, to the point that I am where I can, avoiding contact. I just wondered on this basis if any costs of possible implants would be met by the NHS given the role I have to play in my school, as this is beginning to affect how I do my job.
hello sir i wonder if you could help out, basically i want to resize my teeth for a better look and healthy smile..can u suggest something best that i can recover from it as soon as possible…..
first 4 teeth are forwarded to outside where they should be and i dont feel right about how they look. what i want overall is something to make everything look in proportion and normal, so probably need to resize and re position my lower jaw somehow. then look at how to align the teeth so that they look correct afterwards.
