My Teeth Are Decaying And It Hurts To Speak. What Are My Options? Surely I Can Get Treatment Through The NHS?

Friday, August 8th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I have 3 missing back teeth on my bottom jaw lower left 7 and 6 and lower right 6 with 7. It’s giving me agony as I speak. It has a big hole in it and I imagine it’s on its way, my lower left and right 5 also has decay. Eating is a nightmare as my bottom as I desperately need implants. I am only 30 years old and my teeth are ruined. Surely I can get treatment on the NHS or something? I really could not imagine spending another 30 years with no back teeth as its so horrible and uncomfortable it takes me ages to eat.  What are my options for this and is there any way I can afford treatment? Thank you for your reply.

I’m 63 Years Old And I’m Looking For Advice. My Top Teeth Are In A Bad Condition. Is It A Waste Of Time To Seek Treatment Options At My Age?

Monday, July 14th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I am 63 years of age and have wore a denture since I was only 12. I had my front three teeth taken out after they had discoloured after banging into a lamp post. In those days that’s what they did. Through wearing a denture all this time my other top teeth are in bad condition. I suppose at my age it is probably a waste of time doing any thing much, but emotionally I have had my fair share of misery regarding my teeth and I need to some expert advice. What you think would be the best option? Many thanks.

Dental Implants Are Financially Out Of My Reach. Is There Any Way I Can Get My Smile Back?

Friday, June 20th, 2014
Q.

I Am 45 years of age and I lost a lot of my teeth through neglect. So I decided to have a mass extraction of about 18 teeth in one go under general anaesthetic through the NHS. I was then given a set of dentures from the NHS. The only time I wear them is when I go to the supermarket twice a week. I have spoken to my dentist about implants but they are financially out of my reach. I have read about your teaching position with the Royal College of Surgeons and I was just wondering if you are looking for potential patients to demonstrate your technique? Thank you.

I Don’t Want To Rubbish Teeth. Can You Give Me A Rough Price For A Full Set Of Dental Implants?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hi,

I don’t want to mess about with my rubbish teeth any more, can you please give me a rough price of a full set of screw in teeth? I cannot use a denture, I’ve been down that route before and it just makes me gag. The teeth I have are too spaced apart, most are sensitive and I have fillings that are yellow! My children refer to my teeth as dead mans teeth! If you can give me a rough price so I will then know how to proceed.

Many thanks.

I Lost My Teeth When I Was Younger And It’s Hard To Wear Dentures. What Should I Do?

Monday, May 19th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I lost my teeth when I was 14 years old which has made me self-conscious all my life. I am 50 years old now and my bottom gum is very wobbly and find it hard to get dentures to fit. The last time I got new dentures they had no bottom groove in them and they lay flat on my gum so I don’t like to wear them. I went back and told them but not to my satisfaction. They lie in my drawer now but obviously because of my wobbly gum, the impression didn’t work. Is there anything that can be done to help me with this? Thank you for your time.

Do You Know How I Can Get In Touch With Any Dentists Who Offer A Payment Plan?

Friday, May 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I’ve been trying to get help for a long time but I don’t know how to go about it. I had a partial top denture fitted some years ago now all the remaining top teeth have decayed and I seriously need help. Someone told me that there are dentists who would do the work required on a payment plan? I don’t know of any? The damage done to my teeth was mainly caused by an ill fitted denture and the dentist that did the work is no longer there. Just getting up each day is so depressing. Every time I look at my teeth I just want to lock myself away. I would appreciate any advice or help you could give me. Thank you.

My Dentist Said That Veneers Would Look Too Big For Me. Would Bonding Work To Close My Gaps Instead?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I have a large gap in front and little gaps around, I went to the dentist who did a model for me and he said if I close them with veneers they will look big and ugly. What other option of I have. I don’t mind closing it slightly. Also I have a denture on because of the surgery I had a whole ago so I don’t think a brace will be ideal as I need to take off denture to clean. Will bonding be ideal for me and also what’s the available – quick fix?
