Can I Get A New Gold Onlay To Replace My Composite One?

Monday, April 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi, i have a composite inlay on the lower back molar, it got slightly chipped recently from having a wisdom tooth extracted which was next to it. I now want a gold onlay and have the old composite inlay taken out and the decay cleaned from underneath it. My question is how many carats of gold would be best suited to a back molar inlay and do the nhs do this under their treatment? (would 22 carats be good?) Also is it a good idea for me to request them not to add nickel, beryllium and cobalt (base metals) as these are commonly allergic metals and I am generally sensitive to lots of things. Thank you.

What Is Available To Help Me Straighten Just My Top Row Of Teeth?

Monday, April 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I just wanted to ask whether it is possible to get Invisalign braces for just the top set of teeth. And a rough idea about the cost for them… The bottom set of my teeth are fine and so are the top set however on the top set.. the two middle teeth are slightly different length.. just slightly… and the tooth after the one next to the middle teeth on the right hand side is higher then the rest of my other teeth.. so basically i just need them for the top set really. Also how many months will i need to keep them on for until the top set are straight… are they painful?

Can I Get My Teeth Filed Down For Cosmetic Reasons?

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hi there,
Over the years my front two teeth have started to chip away..there are only a few small chips and I was wondering if it was possible to get them filed down? This doesn’t cause me pain at all, it’s purely for cosmetic purposes really so I am not in need of urgent surgery or anything. If it is possible to get them down how much would that cost roughly?

Also one of my canines is discoloured and the surface is not like the rest of my teeth. It’s bumpy and rough. I’m not too sure what had caused it but is there anything I could do to change the colour and smooth the tooth down?

Where Can I Get Cheap Veneers And How Much Would They Cost?

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi, how would I go about working out how much it would be for a full set of Veneers? And what would be the cheapest option? Would the best option be to book for a consultation and speak to someone directly? I think it would probably be but just wanted your opinion on it. My teeth are okay but I really want a really nice smile, the problem really as well is that I currently have a twist in my front top teeth which I would like sorting as well. If you could explain to me how I would go about sorting this out as well then that would be ace. Many thanks.

Receding Gums And Bad Teeth, Which Implants Should I Go For?

Friday, March 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr, I am 62 years old and to be blunt my upper teeth have seen better days! I have receding gums and now since having researched on the internet about the ‘all on 4’ dental implants I am now becoming a bit confused as to which is the better option for me, ‘all on 4’, or the 6 implants treatment option that I have seen. This is because some say that 6 implants will support the arch better and last longer. Also I understand that the 6 implants comes with a ceramic arch with zirconia better than acrylic or do you know of any better materials in use currently for constructing the arch. If it is any help to your accuracy in answering my questions I would like to make it clear that I am looking for something that will last for a very long time and look very good.

Dear Dr Hughes,

I would love it if you could help me, I am making a moving picture and would like your input.

I have seen some of your pictures and am excited to move forward.

I have large gaps in between my front teeth due to thumb sucking during childhood, what treatments are available for me?

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012
Q.

I have large gaps between front and side top teeth from thumbsucking during childhood to mid teens. The front teeth also protrude and the bottom of the teeth can be seen when my mouth is closed. I also have an overbite.I dont smile properly for pictures and my confidence is very low, can you suggest any treatment that could help. My sister also had similar problem but also had an infection above her front teeth which was separating her teeth even more, she had her problem teeth removed and had a temporary plate fitted and then screw in implants. Im in my late thirties and dont think I could handle wearing a temporary denture plate. Please help!

My teeth are small, what’s the best cosmetic dental treatment available to make them appear larger?

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Mark Hughes

I really would like to have a bigger smile, my teeth are kind of small.
Maybe I’ll make a facial cosmetic surgery when I’ll have my 20 years;

BUT…..

-What should I first do:
Facial cosmetic surgery first or make my teeth first ?

-What is the best :
Veneers or da Vinci Veneers or MAC Veneers or Lumineers ? And can one of these make my smile or teeth bigger ?

Actually I just want to make my smile like Michael Jackson’s big smile; but compared to teeth can I make my teeth as big as Michael Jackson’s big teeth just at the top ?

I am concerned that if my chipped tooth is fixed then my orthodontic retainer won’t fit any longer, would this be the case?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Mark. About 6 months ago I chipped a small part of the inside biting edge of one of my front tooth and it still hurts which is a concern. The chip isn’t major or visible from the front, only if you look under it at the inside of the tooth but I would like to get this fixed. I also have had orthodontic treatment and it has been going very well. So I am very concerned that if the chip is fixed then my orthodontic essix retainer won’t fit any longer which would mean I would need a new one, which again means more money! As I am in easy access to you, is this something that you could look at for me? It is the fact that it still hurts that bothers me so much. Is there anything you can recommend to help minimise the pain? Many thanks.

A.
Yes it is, we can definitely h… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
