I’ve Had A Crown Fitted Which Seems To Be Affected By My Bite. I’m Concerned I’ll Do Further Damage. Is This Likely?

Wednesday, March 12th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark, I hope you can help as I have an issue that has me a bit worried. I have just had a crown fitted on my side tooth (After a root canal) but it seems a bit “long” and it’s always the first thing I “hit” whenever I bite down on anything. I am concerned that I will do further damage to it and that it won’t last as long as it should do with my bite affecting it’s function. Is this normal in your experience? What would you advise me to do about this? Could you tell me if it is likely to be under guarantee? Any information you can provide would be of great help to me. Thank you for your time.

I Have A Missing Tooth Which Was Knocked Out Five Years Ago. Could I Have A False Tooth That’s Permanent?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I currently have a missing tooth which was knocked out around five years ago, I am currently twenty years of age and it is really affecting my confidence, it is a front tooth and is on the top row. Do you know if I could have a false tooth that’s permanent and if so how much would it cost? Any information on all possibilities would be a welcome help. Also if I do eventually have a false tooth will a teeth whitening programme affect the tooth in any way? Thank you for your time and consideration.

A Bit Of Tooth Came Out Whilst Eating And Now Food Debris Gets Trapped In The Hole. Will The Tooth Be Okay For A Couple Of Weeks?

Monday, December 23rd, 2013
Q.

A bit of my tooth came out whilst having something to eat, towards the back of my mouth but in between two teeth. The hole is right in the middle of the teeth and not on the outside/inside etc, it doesn’t hurt (YET) but I can’t get in the dentist until after the New Year, it looks quite dark and a lot of food is getting trapped inside which I have to keep flossing it out. Is this a sign of decaying, as I only visited my dentist in August this year, surely they should of spotted early signs of decay? I also had a crown fitted and they would of looked at my teeth on different occasions, I don’t know what to do? I don’t want to be unwell for Christmas but I have to wait until after New Year.

I Would Like A More Natural Crown In Terms Of Natural Feel And Texture. What Procedure Would Provide Best Results?

Friday, December 20th, 2013
Q.

Hi. I have a brief enquiry in regards to a crown I currently have over my broken tooth allocated at my front bottom gum which was placed over after my root canal procedure, which was undertaken about a few years ago, however I’m concerned as I wish to have a procedure where the crown is not distinct and actually feels like my natural teeth in terms of feel, colour and texture.
What procedure would be more suitable solely?
As I am very subconscious about my smile.
I was referred to a specialist as a few years post to my root canal the dentists discovered a lump located directly underneath my broken tooth in the gum, with results suggesting the is an infection which will need to be cleaned but am unsure even with that what the best method of approach would be on this concerning matter.
I’m still researching on what would be suitable to my preference with so many options however I’m sure with your expert advice you will be able to assist me accordingly.

Thanks.

Do I Qualify For NHS Cosmetic Dental Treatment With A HC3 Certificate?

Friday, December 20th, 2013
Q.

Dear Dr Gambroudes, I have a question:
I am an NHS patient with a HC3 certificate, and I have a problem with my teeth. I did my teeth in another country and they were done very bad. I have 6 missing teeth in front upper jaw and all my back teeth are broken.
The crown fixed in front was made from plastic and now is broken from more than 3 years, and I struggle every time to fix it with glue.
My question is: Do I qualify for NHS cosmetic help? I don’t want to wear a denture because of my age. Thank you and kind  regards.

Would It Be Possible To Have A Bridge Fitted To My Crowns Or Would I Need New Crowns At Either Side?

Monday, December 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My question is that I got my top four front teeth crowned a few years ago but now my tooth has come out. Would it be possible to have a bridge fitted to my existing crowns or would I have to get new crowns at either side? At the moment I have a single tooth plate but it’s rather problematic as I have to take it out to eat, which isn’t ideal. Do you know of any other treatment I could consider. Any help or advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

My Dentist Told Me That The Decay In My Tooth Will Not Be Removed Before Before An Onlay Is Fitted. Is This Correct?

Friday, December 13th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I hope you can help me. I have just been to the dentist and it turns out that I require an onlay. I used to have a crown over the tooth but this is no longer possible. My crown recently came out and contained some of my tooth. The tooth is still live. I have no constant pain although at times it is quite sensitive. I was told that the decay in the tooth will not be removed before the fitting. An impression has been taken. Is this correct? Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

No this sounds incorrect based… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

The Gap Between My Two Front Teeth Has Slowly Begun To Widen These Last Few Years. What Should I Do?

Wednesday, December 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’m 32 and I have a fairly large gap between my two front teeth (4mm) and I’m not really up for braces. Is there a way to fix them with veneers and a rough costing for this procedure. Also is it possible to get payment plans for this type of thing. The gap has been slowly getting worse for years and is really starting to get to me. I also have a front molar and the visible part has broken away, this has had a route canal done on it before. Is there any way of fixing this apart from fishing out the bottom part? I’ve had no pain or infection from this tooth.

Many thanks.

Bad Diet Has Caused Acid To Erode My Teeth, What Is The Cheapest Way To Restore Them?

Monday, December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi.  I’ve got bad acid erosion on my teeth from living off of diet coke for years! My molars are particularly bad but also my front teeth have small chips. I have hardly any money and was just wondering if you knew of the cheapest possible out come I could have to repair some of this damage. I really do not want metal crowns as am a singer and this will completely knock my confidence. I am extremely upset I have let it get to this point and know there is no way I can pay thousands of pounds. I feel at a complete loss!
If you could let me know what you think may be the treatment I am looking at and if you know of any NHS dentist who would provide tooth coloured crowns on molars.
Thank you very much for your time.

I’ve Not Looked After My Oral Heath Recently And Would Like To Know If I Could Get Implants Through The NHS?

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Shaffie, I hope you can help. I used to be really good at going to see my dentist and looking after my teeth, but when I was a child and teens, my dad and  I moved and went to a new dentist and he was really hurting me and was rough. After that I stopped looking after my teeth as well as I should, I did not go any dentist until my teeth needed pulling, I know I don’t look after my teeth the way I should. I would like to know if I could get tooth implants on the NHS, and if not, how much would each one cost individually? Thank you for your time and consideration in advance.
