Is there any way I can have my teeth straightened without the use of braces?

Thursday, December 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi Doctor Shaffie. Can you help? One of my teeth next to my right tooth is pushed back and the one next to it is higher and is pushed forward, what would i need to do to get a straight smile without having to have repetitive treatments? and how much will it cost?

this has been a problem for many years and need help but i do not want to have braces because as my teeth come out straight after time one of them is of coloured so they would look horrible. The issues are causing me to feel extremely self conscious and i need something doing about it right away.

What can I do about the thin enamel on my teeth?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
Q.

My front teeth are very thin as the enamel is wearing down due to my age ( 60 yrs) and the fact I eat lots of fruit.Before I run into real problems I was wondering if crowns on them would be the answer .I live in the Brighton area and hope that I could go to somewhere locally .Would that be the best solution or should I wait and see ?
The other slight problem with these teeth is that cosmetically I don’t think they look very good.I have always had my 6 monthly checks so have a healthy mouth and wish to keep it this way !

Will dental crowns fix my protruding teeth?

Friday, September 14th, 2012
Q.

Hello..My teeth are inclined outwards. Though it doesnt look bad if not for the midline diastema. Does crowning help in pushing the teeth inwards? I also want to get rid of midline diastema. Please advice..My dentist has advised me to go for crowning.Iam very much confused as I dont have the time for putting on braces.I want a good response but in a short time. If only crowning could help.Also want to know can I leave the teeth as it is only after some grinding without crowning..will dat not be ok? Thanks

I am suffering from great jaw and tooth pain, will veneers and braces help?

Friday, September 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi Andrew, I’m 15 and currently stay in Scotland. I’ve never had braces but I feel I need something done to my teeth to make them less painful and more aesthetically pleasing. When I was younger I fell down the stairs and badly hurt my jaw and teeth. Since then the 4 teeth on my upper jaw, two large and two smaller that are next to main, large ones have been painful and chipped/crooked. When I eat, close my mouth etc they brush against each either and really hurt. I’ve not been given braces but feel like I need something done, I was looking into veneers actually, would you think they’d be a good alternative? What are my options as my parents are at a loss and my local dentist is too!

What would be the most cost effective way to replace the bottom row of teeth?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I have five front teeth left on my bottom set with a gap in the middle were two teeth have been removed.
At the moment there is a bottom denture which makes up the rest of the missing teeth. this denture is lose due to gum shrinkage. The five remaining teeth are in poor condition and are very small. My teeth on the top set are complete but are all either crowns or bridges these are in good condition. the bottom five remaining teeth are small and don’t match the top set. what would be the best and most cost effective way to replace the bottom set so that it would match up with the upper teeth. Please give a rough estimate of costs involved or list possible treatments from high to low in cost

I have just had 4 teeth removed, how long do I have to wait to receive dental implants?

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012
Q.

how long do I have to wait after an exraction to have dental implants. I had four teeth removed about a month age and I would really like to have some implants as I can not cope with a denture. My tongue is now covered with small ulcers which I am using an appropriate mouth wash but I was told to keep the denture in place which is really uncomfortable. Most of my back teeth are now missing which means eating is a real problem for me. I was given a partial upper denture which I cannot wear because it makes me gag and a partial lower denture which is causing the ulcers on my tongue. I was told that I have to persevere with the dentures but I can not handle it. I am very aware of my teeth and am becoming very depressed over the lack of my back teeth. I have had 7 crowns put onto my front teeth but I have had a lower front tooth extraced hence the denture. Please can you help or give me advice what to do. I live in Aberdeen. Thank you

Should I have my removable bridge replaced with individual crowns?

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello there! I hope you are well! Okay here is the problem: I currently have a removable acrylic bridge of three teeth in my right side upper jaw, between my front and my rear teeth. It is not that comfortable and I was considering having individual crowns because I feel it will only get worse – (not sure if the crowns are called bolt in or screw in.) Could you indicate how long the surgery would take and how much I would be expected to pay for the treatment? (I wish to start saving for it as soon as possible!) Should I wait or have it done now? Would my current (NHS) dentist be likely to give a discount, as I am now 65? Any advice would be great, Thank you for your time.

The crown is too big for my tooth, how much should I expect to pay to have this replaced?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

16 years ago I had a crown fitted to my the very back molar. I wasn’t happy when it was fitted…as it was obviously far too big for the tooth. At the time the locum dentist remarked that it was too big but she was going to go ahead with it anyhow. It looks even uglier along with my gum which appears to be receding more revealing an even uglier spectacle. I am wondering how much it would cost to be replaced?

I have a large gap in between my two front teeth, what can I do to fix this?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi,I have a gap in my front teeth which has become very large over the last few years and I think it’s still getting bigger even now,my dentist says there’s nothing he can do with it,I find this quite upsetting because I don’t want to smile without covering my mouth,one dentist said he could put crowns on but they would look stupid because they would be too big and thick for my mouth,it’s really getting me down now. It’s really affecting my self conscious and I would like something fast acting so I can get back to normal again. Have you any suggestions please? Thank you for your time.

How good is the quality of CEREC crowns?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there dr Patel, I recently had my front top right crown replaced because it was a metal – ceramic and a shadow was visible at the top.However I am not happy with the new crown which is all ceramic but the colour is not quite right.
Do you only do CEREC crowns or do you use ceramic/porcelain also . I am very keen to have a good match and my current normal teeth have been whitened and are fairly translucent. Are CEREC teeth as good looking as a good porcelain tooth. I am really upset with the work that has recently been done and I want to have the best possible work done. Thank you for your time.
