My Mother Is In Agony After Her Treatment Abroad, Where Can I Go For Help?

Friday, June 28th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark,
I wanted to get some advice regarding some work done to my mothers teeth.

Last summer she went abroad and had 3 implants and 6 crowns. Since coming back 4 of the crowns fell out (botched up job) She is in constant agony and is constantly crying because the crowns where not done correctly, her bottom tooth now has began to crack and chip off because the top crowns are not fitted correctly (huge gaps in between)

Going back is not and option and the NHS doesn’t cover corrective surgery (they’ve been no help regarding this). Could you please advice us on where we could go from here.

Desperately need help
Thanks

Should I Get My Eroded Teeth Crowned?

Friday, May 17th, 2013
Q.

i am 38 years old. i have overbite problem, what is worse is that now my lower teeth have started eroding due to the problem. There is also acute sensitivity to temperature fluctuations which is very uncomfortable. Another major issue is that often when i am chewing my food there is quite severe pain which again is horrible. Doctors have advised me to go for crowning. Please tell me whether you think that this is the correct course of action. Presenlty i am in kashmir. Where I can go for it safely in kashmi? How much will it cost to crown with good material in kashmir? Does it require a specialist? Sorry for all the questions but I really need to get this sorted out. Thank you.

Can I Replace My Veneers With Crowns?

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013
Q.

I have had veneers on 8 of my top and 6 bottom teeth 10 years ago before my wedding. However as my bite is the wrong way round ie my bottom teeth coming over my top when my jaw is clenched together, the upper veneers occasionally come off. i would like them replaced with crowns as they bulge here and there also in comparison to the remaining teeth. What would be the likely costs of replacing all of my veneers with crowns please? I want them a more natural colour and also a more natural shape than what I have at the moment but of course still white!

A.
The costs very much depend on … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Are there any alternatives to crowning for fragile teeth?

Monday, March 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello Sir,

To start with, i have flourine rich teeth which has made my teeth fragile and little bit spotty in appearance. In addition, my front two teeths are bigger in size than the rest (Bunny smile) and the gap between the front two teeth is significantly noticeable. In order to have a proper smile,  I was wondering whether it would be advisable to go for crowning, or is there any other way to deal with this? Any suggestions would welcome.

Regards

Can the NHS help me with crowns and veneers following an accident?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I was involved in an RTA last February, I lost 1 tooth and had a lot of damage to my other 4 front teeth. The NHS dentist I went to did (in my opinion) a really poor job. They patched them up with filler, using two different types so they don’t even match! The sizes are wrong and the bridge he put in sticks out like a sore thumb. I had root canal on both my upper two front and and the damage on one was half the tooth missing. I’ve had to go back as the filler has come off twice. Surely I need crowns or veneers? I cannot afford to go private. Where do I stand getting this sorted on the NHS? I’m 31 and have taken really good care of my teeth, check ups every 6 months/brushing/flossing. I’ve never even needed a filling so this is all very upsetting.

Can I have my old veneers replaced with new ones?

Thursday, November 15th, 2012
Q.

I have 12 veneers which where fitted many years ago and some have chipped. I would like to know if they can be replaced and would it cost more as old veneers need to be removed? Also, I have been asked to look at brazil crowns (not sure if right name )instead as they would last longer !
But as my veneers have lasted this long I would be happy to get them again as I’m now 47 years of age so if I get another 15 years from them theres nothing to say my teeth will still be as they are.

I need root canal treatment but am concerned about cost seen as my NHS dentist doesn’t provide this procedure?

Friday, September 28th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I need to have root canal treatment to one of my back teeth but have been told to have it done under the NHS wont be so good plus I don’t think my NHS dentist provides the procedure at his practice. The problem being is that the surrounding teeth are deteriorating and so it is particularly important to preserve the problem tooth. This means that to have the tooth out is not an option and cost wise I am concerned. What do you advise?

I would advise that you do you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a crown but would like to have my teeth whitened, what can I do?

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I’m 18 and have really bad teeth, they make me self conscious and insecure about my appearance. My front left tooth is a crown as I had an accident which broke my natural tooth. The tooth to the left of that is in bad shape, and possibly needs removing and a new one putting there. My teeth are also discoloured and this is a major issue for me these past couple of years. I haven’t tried any whitening products that you can buy etc because my crown matches the colour of the rest of my teeth so if I had them whitened then the crown right at the front would stand out. I just want to smile with confidence, and would like some advice on what I should do? Would it be possible to sort my teeth out in one day? because I don’t want to be walking around with even more dodgy looking teeth as I go to university and I would be really embarrassed. Hope you can offer my some advice. I am very self conscious about my smile. I am also very nervous!
