I was down to get crowns but now dentist who replaced normal one says I should get dentures. Can I get crowns instead?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi,i went to the dentist today and found that my dentist had gone on maternity leave and been replaced by another for a while,but i was given a treatment plan to have crowns fitted other work done,but when i saw this dentist she ignored what i wanted to have done and said that i should get a denture fitted and remove the teeth instead,i am very upset as my original dentist had promised there was nothing wrong with the roots of the teeth to have crowns as she had done a xray,but on my visit today i was told to have denture fitted without having an xray done to see if it was necessary and was felt bullied into getting impressions done and paying 495 pounds for a denture which i do not want what can i do please help thanks.,

My lower denture doesn’t fit comfortably. Can I request a new one?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
Ten months ago I had a partial lower denture made, my dentist recently had to file the denture to make it more comfortably, now it is too loose and wil not fit properly. I am about to have an upper partial denture made to replace a crown that fell out that can’t be replaced. As an NHS patient can I request a new lower replacement under this course of treatment with an NHS upper banding cost of £198 as this lower denture is now causing a problem,

I am in constant pain after many of my teeth were extracted. I am now have to use my front teeth to eat. Can anything be done?

Friday, October 15th, 2010
Q.
at my wits end,have changed dentists recently due to not being looked after properly-i am now in the unfortunate situation of having a big gap on my right side after extraction of a back upper and lower tooth and a new filling which has been redone on that side and still plays up, the other side had a large filling,upper and lower,am in almost constant pain when eating on both sides-…as i am forced to use my front teeth more they are also starting to hurt…help as im concerned that my dentist isnt doing a very good job as he assures me there is nothing wrong with the fillings on either side i am terrified i will end up with dentures at 37!,

Are dentures the only option to fix my teeth? I don’t want dentures as I am only 35!

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I have had problems with my teeth for many years. It all started when I went to my dentist when I was about 14 with crooked teeth at the front. My parents were advised that my back teeth were not strong enough for the type of braces that were available then and he said my teeth would straighten up when I got older. Bad dentist. I am now 35 and have many problems with my teeth and its just getting worse. I dont drink or take drugs, I work hard and clean my teeth as well as I can but with the problems I have its just getting worse. I now have some missing teeth, underbite and many more problems. I would love to be able to smile again without feeling ashamed. The price for sorting out my teeth is totally unaffordable. I dont earn enough to get the financing from the dentist. I cant get any help with that either. My only option is to go for dentures which I really dont want at 35 ! Do I have any other choices ?I would be very grateful for any advice you may have.,

There is a gap between my denture and gum line. Any suggestions to how it could be made more natural?

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I lost 4 teeth in a car accident, but recently had laser work done to remove scar tissue and hyperplasia. I wear a chrome partial denture, its my front teeth that are missing. I now have a gap between the teeth on denture and my gumline. Any suggestions how it could be made to look more natural. (Implants not an option due to no bone and unsucessful grafting!) Thanks,

My husband has tried dentures but has a fear of gagging. Is there any way he can get implants for missing teeth?

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
My partner has been without teeth at all for the past 10 years, he has tried using dentures but has a phobia of gagging and cannot stand the stress of the appointments. He has social anxiety disorder and agrophobia brought on by his low self esteem due to having no teeth. He is 36 years old would he be eligible for treatment on the NHS. I have checked the schooling websites and they do not offer implants. He feels that implants would be the only way to get teeth and be able to get his life back on track. Thanks.,
