My dentist said that a denture is my only option to address a dislodged tooth. Is this true?
Monday, August 16th, 2010Q.
I have a bridge which is one front tooth a missing tooth then the next tooth forming my bridge. I have had this for some 37yrs. Last yr a had a blow to the mouth that knocked the middle tooth out of my bridge and dislodged the front tooth so it is out of line and slightly loose. My dentist has fitted me with a denture, which I hate and do not get on with at all. My dentist tells me this is my only option. i know it is difficult to have an opinion without seeing the problem, but do you think this could be made to look good and also feel good without breaking the bank. i look forward to your comments.,

I have had three consultations and I’ve been recommended different options concerning bridges and implants. Can you help?
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Q.
I have a failing bridge which involves my ur1,2 and 3. UR3 needs to be extracted. I have been for 3 consultations for an implant to replace UR3 2 dentists have recommended an implant in 3 with a cantilever bridge on it to replace missing ur2. UR1 needs a root canal and a new single crown. However, one other dentist has said a cantilever bridge wouldnt be a good option as it could be too much pressure on the single implant over time, he insists 2 implants is better and would be gauranteed to last a lot longer. Im now wondering why the other dentists havent suggested two implants or is the third dentist just trying to make more money.,

Would it be possible to remove my healthy remaining front tooth and get a bridge?
Monday, August 9th, 2010Q.
Hello, I have already had cosmetic surgery to help straighten my teeth, one front tooth was knocked out and then I had the three remaining front teeth shaped down for a crown, however I still am very unhappy with the way I look (I have an 8-10mm overbite, partly due to the fact my lower jaw needs to be brought forward) what I would like to know is, even though I know dentists don’t like doing it, if it would be possible to remove the remaining front tooth (as it’s the front tooth that’s causing the problem) & then replace this with a straighter bridge?,

Hos can I go about getting a free smile makeover?
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Q.
Hi Dr. I was looking on the smile gallery and I see some smiles have been donated. How can I apply for a free smile. makeover? I’ve never been happy with my teeth. I used to have a tooth growing above my others in the gums so my local NHS dentist took out the tooth and another and gave me a bridge some 8 years ago. It used to fall out which was very embarrassing/demoralising and caused me all sorts of problens. I know they don’t have a long life cycle and even more so with the type of quality the NHS use. A good few years ago I was developing erosion/stained front teeth so my NHS dentist gave me two vaneers which are a different shape, size and colour to what they were. I’m now left with 4 ‘fake’ teeth of the poorest quality which I’m stuck with until they fall out. Needless to say I’m absolutely devestated, my teeth are horrible! I’m a fraction of the bubbly, confident person I used to be. Its affected my self esteem so much now that I won’t get into a relationship and even hinders friendships with people and family, I hardly ever laugh and smile with my mouth closed; there isn’t 1 photo of me showing my teeth. I find it so embarrassing to talk to anyone about it hence why I’ve not selected the box to have this published. I am studying to get a better job to afford the treatment but I won’t be finished for a few years and then in the current climate there might not be a job about for me. I feel like any moment I could become clinically depressed. Sorry for babbling on. I would be eternally grateful if you can help! Kind Regards ,
