Can damaged tooth be repaired?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have a very badly damaged front tooth. On the top row, one of the teeth has a large section missing, exposing the gum. The back of the tooth is fine and healthy. An NHS dentist has seen it in the past but was not able to do anything about it. The tooth is getting weaker and it’s getting gradually harder and harder to eat even the softest foods. I know it’s my own fault but would really like to get it fixed and don’t know what options to look into. Many thanks for any help you can suggest. Kind regards,

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
I had a bridge done by the NHS when I was 15 yrs old. It’s not looking really great now that I’m 32 yrs old. The metal is not only showing through on the adjacent tooth but where the enamel has ebbed away is actually showing now. As I’m considering getting my teeth lasered with brite Smile I wondered if now would be the best time to get an implant and how much would all this cost me as I am working but have very little to spend.,
