My son had missing front teeth can he have dental implants on NHS

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Q.
My 16 year old son has his front two teeth but the teeth either side of these are missing (they have never come through). As well as this all his teeth are quite small, so I am worried that bridges would not be suitable. He has a brace at the moment to keep his teeth in place. Is there anywhere that he could have Implants on the NHS?

My bridge feel uncomfortable and bulky

Monday, June 30th, 2008
Q.
I have recently had a 3 tooth bridge fitted over three months ago. I am sure the dentist has fitted it incorrectly. It is very uncomfortable and feels bulky. The main problem is that on the inside of the bridge there is a lot of metal exposed under the gum where the porcelain does not cover, this feels like i have constant food stuck between the teeth and am constantly flossing to eliviate this sensation. My tongue rubs against the metal which is rough hence catching the side of my tongue and i have a constant metallic taste in my mouth. I am sure this is not right as i have a bridge on the adjacent side which i have had for 11 years with no problems whatsoever. My dentist sayes it is fine and I just need to get used to it. As 3 months have passed, and no improvement could you please give your opinion? Thank you

Sunday, June 29th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Suri I’ve had a bridge at the lower rear left side of my mouth for many years and it needs replacing. It covers the area of 3 teeth. I have changed dentist who is recommending instead of having a new bridge,to have two crowns and a dental implant for the missing tooth in the middle. Is this the way forward?! Which do you consider to be the best option? I’m healthy in my mid-30\s.

I have a unsightly smile missing teeth broken teeth and want to smile again

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Q.
I have the most unsightly smile ever, i am 35 years old and have had this problem for a few years. I could not tell you when i was last able to smile as I really don\’t remember. i have 9 missing teeth and 4 broken teeth, all the broken teeth are at the front of my mouth (my smile teeth) and it is so embarrassing. The worst thing is i have always brushed my teeth, i don\’t eat sweets, i don\’t drink fizzy drinks, yet my teeth look like this. I am far to afraid of dentists to even go there, this i have tried on many occasions but every time i get to the dentists chair i make my excuses and leave. I would love to be able to smile again, but i know that i would not be able to afford it in this lifetime, how could i ever be able to smile again??
