What would be the cost for cosmetic bonding?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi my front teeth are perfectly together, however there is a small gap at the outer edge of them between the next teeth. I was wondering how much (roughly) would cosmetic bonding cost to make them look perfect and also how long does it roughly take? ( how many sessions?) It is something that has bothered me for ages and it affects my confidence so I am hoping to get it fixed. Also i have moved to Uxbridge area of Middlesex, so are there any dentists that you know of who could recommend to carry out the procedure, although if required i wouldn’t mind travelling into London. kind regards

Is its common to have a veneer on a false tooth and how durable?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel. I have just had a replacement bridge and whilst the two crowned teeth supporting the false tooth are well fitted the centre false tooth has a gap at the gum line and appears to be leaning out a little. The dentist has filed it to reduce the bulky appearance but this has not helped and it is not as good as the original bridge I had done 8 years ago by the same dentist. The dentist is trying hard to please me and has arranged to put a veneer on the FALSE tooth. Is having a veneer on a false tooth common and how durable will it be. I would be very pleased to receive a reply. Thank you very much.

Can there be any emergency treatment for terrible toothache in NHS?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Justin Glaister! I am writing to you, as my husband is suffering from terrible toothache for the last 2 weeks. He took so many painkillers by now, and still no help. His tooth is aching almost every day, or every second day. We both know, he should go to a dentist urgently, but sadly we can’t afford those high prices. He is on the NHS waiting list, but it is ever so long. Is it true, if he goes to the hospital for emergency treatment, he gets it for free? We come from Hungary, and waiting to go home at the summer, and sort it out there. But this pain is getting unberable for both of us. Is any advise you could give him? Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.

Is its possible to smooth the tooth by polishing or buffing it?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
I had a white filling placed on one of my front teeth a few years back, I don’t think the dentist was comfortable with the bonding procedure, and since then the surface of that tooth is lumpy and uneven. Would it be possible to have a dentist “smooth” the tooth out by buffing or polishing it? Thank you.

Can anything be done for gappy teeth in cosmetic dentistry?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 53 and had conventional orthodontic treatment to straighten my front teeth as a teenager. In recent years, my front teeth have started to move forwards and have gaps. I initially looked into orthodontic treatment but was told that it was unlikely to be successful due to ‘getting long in the tooth’. Is there anything by way of cosmetic dentistry that could done?

Could you please advise me on smile makeovers?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi there Justin, i could really use some good advice. I am hoping you can help me, my dilema is this…….. a good few years ago my dad who is a dentist put in 3 crowns on my incisors and my left lateral incisor and then a gap appeared between my 2 front teeth. I am a proffesional singer and my smile is everything to me so i was livid ! so i went to see a cosmetic surgeon near by and i have paid out a hell of alot of money to have my top 10 teeth done properly. This was september last year and i still have yet another wax up in !!! i have been 5 times to visit the lab to go over shape and size and there every time i take photots of teeth i like the look of and go over and over the shape but they cant seem to get it ? I am starting to get phobic of going back and having yet more injections and more wax up smashed out of my mouth its getting very frustrating and now one of the laterals is getting very tender and looks like a root canal might be in order. anyway the look i am going for is similer to katie prices l.a.a smile but my mouth is alot smaller and i have a small arch apparently ? so putting teeth the same size as hers just makes me look like a horse so i need get this sorted as its driving me crackers. My dentist seems insistent on using the same technition but said if all else fails he will go to the da vinci labs. I am thinking of saying its gone on long enough and to go to da vinci. what do you think ? any advice would be valuble to me. kind regards.
