I Want To Know If I’m Paying To Much For My Porcelain Crowns. Can You Help Me?

Monday, June 30th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I paid £1270 for two porcelain crowns. Is that about right or did I pay too much for them?

Also I need deep cleaning and the dentist told me that it is going to cost me £235.00 and that is not including the medication that I need for my teeth.

I have an appointment in two weeks and I would really like to know before I go so I will not be surprised on the price they will give me. Should I have a look elsewhere as this seems a little excessive to me. Thank you.

My Gums Constantly Ache. Shall I Give Up And Go For Full Dentures And Have All My Teeth Removed?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I need some advice please. I’m 45 and I have struggled with my teeth from being a little girl. My front teeth were knocked out due to an accident when I was 8. I have been told ever since I was a little girl that I have poor teeth and gums. I don’t smoke. I drink occasionally. I feel all my life I have had treatment on my teeth or gums. I’ve just paid out again over £1500 to have deep cleaning on my gums (which as you will be aware is not a nice experience) my front teeth have formed a gap. I’m thinking of the 6 month smile, which again will cost a lot of money. Then my front 4 teeth which are caps, replaced with new ones. Not sure of cost of that yet. I know some of my teeth are going to have to be removed as they are very painful. My gums constantly ache. Shall I give up and go for full dentures and have all my teeth removed? The thought of no more pain is very appealing. Help!

I Would Like To Know How Much It Is For White Fillings And Whitening Treatment?

Thursday, January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I had a filling in one of my back teeth on left side upper set. But randomly the front of the tooth has gone so I can feel the filling and looking at it I can see the black filling. Quite gross! I wasn’t sure what can be done but I wanted to know if a crown or a white filling could be done and wondered how much it would cost. I also wanted to ask the cost of having white fillings replaced on another tooth, and also a deep clean and possibly whitening all over. I hope you can help.

I Had A Failed Bone Graft Early Last Year And My Chin Aches Constantly. What Options Should I Take?

Thursday, October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. Early last year I had a bone graft to save my lower right central incisor due to bone loss. I also had some deep cleaning on all four quadrants. The graft failed unfortunately and now my mouth aches constantly in the chin area. I want to remove that tooth and do not want an implant, I want nothing to do with drilling into that so very sore area, so what other options can you suggest are available for me, besides an implant. The two teeth on either side are bending inward and pushing it further back. I hope you can help me with this as it’s causing me quite a lot of concern, many thanks.

I have gum disease, is there any treatment for this?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

I have gum disease with my teeth becoming loose and I have lost several of them. I am also susceptible to abcesses. My dentist reccomends nothing but visiting the hygienist and using Corsydyl paste and mouthwash, which I do, but the problem is not improving. Is there any cosmetic or surgical treatment I can have to improve this problem?

Are there any other applications that may heal my infected tooth rather than have it extracted?

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Caplan, I wonder if you could give me your opinion on my plight. For the past four months I have had an infection in my gums. This has caused some receeding of gum line on the upper and lower teeth and a stubborn abcess on a front upper tooth. Initially I was told that the infection is opportunitist because as we age gaps appear between root and bone and to take a mouth wash. No solution I then returned and was advised the only way to cure the infection would be to extract the tooth. There was no other remedy – once the infection occured its for life. Unfortunately, the bone may now be damaged and being diabetic an implant highly unlikely. At 48 I face the necessity of a denture. Are there any other applications that may heal / remedy the infection other than extraction. Any observations would be much appreciated. Best ,
