Friday, May 10th, 2013
Q.

i have a lot of decaying teeth although one very visible in the front and is blackening fast it began with my pregnancy and because i had been a smoker for years. how can i have the blackening removed or covered over? its awfully embarrassing to smile and id really appreciate some advice on how to fix these teeth and the front blackening one more importantly. my teeth are also yellow now and im just ashamed that they’ve gotten this way. i currently have a medical card but i know they don’t cover cosmetic dentistry so i don’t know what to do at this point.

Can My Teeth Be Quickly Straightened Without Braces?

Thursday, March 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor

I would like to ask you a question, basically the situation is this. I have got front tooth which is little band and a few millimetres out. Overall though it is healthy tooth. However the problem is that it is quite visible thought when I open my mouth because it is right upfront and  I would like to ask you if it possible to straight it out without any braces and something can be done immediately. It is knocking my confidence somewhat and I’m just getting a bit sick of it really. Can you also let me know approximately the cost of the procedure? and the length of the procedure

Thank you.

I’ve had root canal treatment and my teeth are discoloured, can you offer advice to rescue my teeth?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I don’t really know where to start, but i’m extremely down about my teeth 🙁 i’m 19 and just don’t know what to do, I feel the problems with them may be too big to sort. When I was younger I had to have root canal treatment on a front tooth, this left it very grey, I have since had a crown but they still don’t look right. Also, my bottom teeth became very rotten so i’ve had lots of work done on them, but they look awful as the white fillings I had are becoming discoloured. My teeth are far from straight, they all seem to be different colours. I just don’t understand it because i’ve always looked after them, but my dad had a lot of problems with his teeth & so has my mum. This is beginning to rule my life, I think about how hideous my teeth look 24/7. I saved up £400 to have this crown done which looks awful. I just don’t know where to turn, but at the age of 19 i’m not willing to live the rest of my life like this. So if you have an advice i’d be extremely grateful, i’m willing to save up any amount of money, no matter how long it takes. I also have pictures but not sure how to attach them on here. Thank you in advance.

Can you tell me how to be confident in my dentists ability to fit an implant?

Friday, March 11th, 2011
Q.

I have been missing my top right front tooth for around five years now and wearing a denture in its place. My dentists have recommended implants in the past but the cost has been too high. When I went for my check up this time round my dentist told me that she is currently training in doing single tooth implants with the Royal College of Surgeons, is looking for patients and that my gap is just about perfect.

My dentist has offered to reduce the price for my implant and crown to £1800 (she quoted a normal price of £2300) and said to think about it. Today she has said that it should be around £1500. I had x-rays and impressions taken today so they can decide if there is enough bone remaining to go ahead.

I have two questions now. From reading this site it seems that £1500 might be quite high for a reduced price. My dentist advertises as a cosmetic dentist, and I expect that the quality of the crown etc will be good, but I have no frame of reference to decide if this is a good price for the procedure. I was also worried that they could not give me a firm price, saying that depending on how the procedure goes, more treatment may be required, which would increase the price.

I am concerned that if they decide there is enough bone to proceed I might still be a marginal case and that this might reduce the potential lifetime of the implant. Is this possibly the case?

Sorry for such a long-winded question, and thanks for any advice you can give.

My teeth are discoloured and I have no confidence, can you help?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Q.

Hi i am 30 years young and have suffered with discoloured teeth since my adult teeth grew. I was told that this was due to a high dose of penicilin due to having chickon pox as a child. All through my life my teeth have ruled me. I am often thought to be a miserable person due to my inability to smile just incase i show my teeth. I have had extensive work over the years and 4 yrs ago was given the news i had been waiting for over 20 years for – I could have veneers. This was on the basis that i paid for the structural work (even having a operation where i was put to sleep). I worked hard and paid for all my fillings to be replaced with white fillings and the weekly draining of the tooth i would eventually have the operation on. My dreams had come true – I was going to have a smile 🙂 But once i had the structural work done and some whitening i was informed that the dentist who had agreed to my veneers was no longer willing to work any more on my teeth! i was distraught to say the least. I am writing to you to ask if you know of a way i can now get help in the final process. Due to changes in circumstances i am now a student and cannot afford any work on my teeth and i am scared the money i have paid out is a waste. Having to start a new path in life is hard enough but when your first thought on meeting new people is ” i hope they dont look at my teeth” i know they are literally ruling my life. I am not a person to ask for anything but i wish i could get some good advice as to what i can do. Please help me as my confidence is at rock bottom. Again i will say this is not a begging letter but after 20 odd yrs of thinking about it every day i felt i had to make contact with someone.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am missing a few teeth, besides dental implants, what else can I have done?

Monday, January 17th, 2011
Q.

I need some extensive work done on my mouth as i have a lot of teeth missing which were removed due to infection and the use of cocaine when i was younger. Im now 28 and very concious of my smile, it affects my attitude and my confidence severely. Even though no one knows – i know.

I have 7 of my front teeth but most of my teeth along the bottom back sides are missing and need implants..i have looked at the costs of these and there is no way on earth i could ever afford them! Im in full time employment but my wages will just not allow for this expense its far too high. Is there anything I can do – its driving me insane!

I had an operation to remove a cyst and because it has destroyed my mouth, I lack confidence, can you suggest treatment to correct this?

Monday, January 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi, i wondered if anyone could help me. I am 37 and gone through alot with dentists. I had a cyst growing in my mouth and was left to grow for 18yrs or more, when a new dentist came along i was referred to the hospital but i had to have a big operation. I had crowns already and missing teeth from the old dentist and lost all my confidence i hate my teeth. But, i have now no bone left in the roof of my mouth and the case was lost because of causation. I havent alot of money and i dont know where to go but my mouth is such a mess, i dont go out much apart from work cos i have really lost all confidence. Do you know any work i can have done that will reconstrut my bone, fix up the 4 front crowns and fill in the gaps along the top where my teeth are missing and sort out the fillings and discolouration from the rest of the teeth…or am i always going to be like this? i have been told my teeth have a life expectation of 3 yrs since the op which took place in feb 09…am really worried.
