Hi, I wondered if you would be able to offer me some advice? My teeth are badly chipped, in fact they are chipped down nearly half way. My dentist keeps commenting on how bad they look and had suggested I should have bonding at££100 per tooth! I have just had a baby and my teeth have become loose as well,my dentist suggested a periodontist at £50 for consultation and £59 per x ray!! I can not afford any of this treatment – can any of this be fixed on the NHS?I don’t know what else I can do, it’s not just for cosmetic reasons that I need these chips fixing. They’re causing my teeth to feel sensitive and I can’t eat very well either. I can’t afford to go back to this dentist, maybe if I could set up a finance scheme or something, perhaps? Any help will be great, thank you.

Can I Have My Chipped Teeth Fixed By The NHS?
Friday, July 12th, 2013Is it really necessary for me to have gum grafting treatment?
Tuesday, December 11th, 2012Hello Dr Bohara. I recently visited the dentist and she said since my gums are receding I would need gum grafting. She said bonding could not be done since the teeth would appear longer. Since these teeth are in the back of my mouth where noone can notice, I want to avoid the pain and healing of gum grafts. It has been years since I’ve seen a dentist since I had no insurance. I have no pain except from slight sensitivity where the gums have receded, otherwise nothing. It’s more of a cosmetic issue, I’ve had worse from shaving! Also, is a deep cleaning necessary since it’s been so long? I have tartar build-up on my lower front teeth. Thanks for the help!
My two front teeth are large and I know I won’t benefit from braces, so what are my options?
Thursday, December 6th, 2012My two front teeth are much longer than the rest and make me look goofy. I’ve been bullied most of my life for it and finally need something done to fix them. They don’t protrude so there would be no benefit of Having braces. I have heard of people having them filed down, is this possible and what are the advantages and disadvantages as i have heard that your teeth can end up with sensitivity issues afterwards. Also can you tell me What other options are available please?

How much would it cost me to have 19 teeth treated through the NHS?

Can bonding close the large gaps in my front teeth?
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012hi, i am under 18 years old ( nearly 16) and i have quite bad gaps on my top teeth, i have had them for as long as i can remember and this problem stops me from comfortably smiling. As I am still in school I am paranoid about my teeth and I get bullied because of them. My dentist has told me that braces would not get rid of the gaps which really upset me. So I did some research and saw that bonding could help. Would i be able to get bonding on the nhs- as i feel that the problem is causing me to be insecure around others, and how would i suggest this to my dentist(as he hasn’t provided me with any other options)? thank you i would be extremely grateful if you could have me solve this issue

Would contouring be the best option for my spaced teeth?
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012I have decay between my front teeth and another two front teeth and the rest of my teeth are reasonable and presentable just a bit stained, I want the perfect smile for when i start my job but don’t want to spend too much money and am worried about the veneers coming off so could I use contouring for my gaps and decay holes and then whiten my teeth? I need something that will last and will not discolour. Can you please advise me of options and rough costs? And whether finance is available?
Thanks
Is it possible to fix the gaps in my teeth?
Thursday, June 7th, 2012Hello I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have gaps between every one of my teeth. Is this considered unattractive? and should I get it fixed? I’m 20 years old and worried I have left it too late to fix it, I don’t really want to have braces as an adult 🙁 and also worry about the cost. My teeth have never really bothered me but when I smile on pictures they look horrible. Other than the gaps they are straight though.
How can I get rid of black triangles between my teeth?
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 Dear Mark,
I have black triangles between my teeth where the gum papilla should be. My teeth have gone slightly crooked since I had braces as a teen because I lost my retainer a few years back. I was wondering, I know it’s specific to each case, but is it possible to get rid of black triangles by interproximal reduction and braces? The triangles are relatively small and my teeth are quite rounded, if they were contoured via IPR to make them squarer I think it could possibly close the triangles – however, I’m scared of taking the risk and worsening the problem
Thanks for your time 🙂
