how long would it take to treat protuding teeth
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008i wanted 5 crowns and got a 5 unit bridge
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Q.
I was recently quoted for 5 dental crowns on my upper front teeth and a bridge between two of the teeth. When they went to install the crowns it turned out they made one big bridge. Is this something that is normally done? I am concerned Im not getting what I paid for because I paid for 5 individual crowns?

I have been looking into cosmetic dentistry
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Q.
Hi Dr Rob, I have been looking into cosmetic dentistry for a little while now. I have suffered from poor oral hygiene and crooked teeth for a long time, it has got to the stage where I do not smile. I have a slight over bite, have 2 teeth that are hidden underneath my bottom set of teeth and 2 short dracula teeth. I appreciate that you cannot give me your complete view without seeing me, but any advice at this early stage would be a great help. After years of misery I really need to sort my problem out as it leading to me feeling depressed. From the information I have gathered, I understand that there are several methods of dentistry available to me i.e. tooth veneers, implants and orthodontics. I would like to pursue the road to orthodontics possibly Invisalign as I understand that this is a long term solution and I am not after a quick fix. I would like to know if your surgery could help me, or if you could possibly recommend a colleague who specialises in this area. I live in the Birmingham area and would also like to know the cost for this procedure in the Birmingham area. Keep up the good work ! Many thanks

My lower front teeth are brown on the biting edge
Friday, September 19th, 2008Q.
My lower front teeth are brown on the biting edge as the enamel has worn away and the dentine is showing. Would whitening remove this discolouration, please?

I have just paid £20000 for a new set of teeth
Monday, September 15th, 2008Q.
I have just paid £20,000.00 for a new set of upper and lower teeth.They have been fixed to 8 implants, 4 at top and 4 at bottom. (I have since discovered that 5-6 implants are recommended for each bridge)The job was finished only 7 days ago and already one of the teeth has broken been glued back in and has now broken again in the same place.This happened aprroximately 5 times while i had my tempary teeth.My Dentist says it’s is because i am only 43 years old and a male so my bite is stronger than a normal person having this type of work done.But each time this has happend i have been chewing soft food and not biting anything remotley hard.I feel the damage is being done when both sets of teeth come together when chewing.Would you advise me to pay for a second opinion because i am slowly loosing all confidence in my present dentist and do not think i should accept the broken tooth being glued back in everytime it breaks. I am now begining to wonder whether both sets of new teeth are lined up properly or maybe something else could be wrong with the work i’ve had carried out. Hope you can help.

I really want to sort my teeth out once and for all
Monday, September 15th, 2008Q.
I really want to sort my teeth out once and for all!. I’m not sure where to go first. Do I go to an ‘ordinary’ dentist and then get recommended for cosmetic work? Or if I contact a ‘cosmetic’ dentist will all the problems be sorted out by that one person. My teeth are crooked but I also have gum disease which is getting much worse, particularly around one of my front teeth (in the upper jaw). I have not been to a dentist for about 5 years, also I am 43. (Definitely long in the tooth!) If someone has got severe gum disease, even if it is sorted out, what are the chances the original teeth can be corrected? And how is gum diease sorted out, how long does it take? I don’t know if this is true or not, but I’ve heard the bacteria can be eating away at teeth under the gum and into the jaw. So I’m just wondering if this damage will mean any correction work is doomed. (My teeth don’t wobble but I’m sure I’m beginning to feel some ‘shift’ and loosening)

Monday, September 15th, 2008Q.
Hello. i was just wandering to be a cosmetic dentist, what courses did you have to take at university? is there a specific cosmetic dentistry course after you become a regular dentist?

i hate my smile
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Q.
Hi Mr. Caplan, I’m 19/20. I absolutely HATE my smile, I have crowded crooked teeth and NEED to get them fixed. I’m terrified of braces and honestly don’t know if I would have the patience to stick with them for 2/3 years! I visited a cosmetic dentist before and he said that I would need 6 veneers on top and 5 on the bottom. However, only 6 of the teeth in my whole mouth are misaligned. I am fine with the colour of my teeth (although they could be a bit whiter!) and the size of them but I can’t live with the crookedness of them anymore!!! Obviously with my age the main issue of dentistry is the money, are there any payment plans that you are aware of? does your surgery support this method of payment? do you have any suggestions or recomendations for me? Thanks so so much

my 2 front veneers keep falling out
Monday, August 18th, 2008Q.
I had 4 veneers fitted to my upper front teeth last year. The next day 2 right hand veneers fell off and were eventually replaced. A few months later 1 of the right hand ones fell off and again was replaced as I hadnt realised the tooth had come out. 2 weeks ago another middle veneer fell off and was refitted yesterday and today has fallen off again. Is it the way they are being fitted that is at fault as I was not even eating when they fall out. Please help
