My Tooth Has Gone And Broke In Two. My Dentist Wanted To Pull It. What Else Can Be Done That Is Relatively Inexpensive?

Monday, February 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark. I have a problem I would like help with. I have a tooth that gone and broke in two. My dentist was going to pull it, I said no thanks, is there something you can do? He did not pull it and it had decayed when this happened, instead of him pulling the whole tooth he fixed it to where it looks like a real tooth, but told me if I ever have problems with it he would have to pull it out completely. Is there a procedure that can be done without pulling it or getting an implant and it being inexpensive? I have an extreme sideways bite and I have fillings in every tooth almost and I have had them for over 20 years. Sometimes when I eat something they hurt, so what do I need to do?

After A Great Deal Of Restoration On My Teeth, I’ve Decided I Now Want Implants. What Is The Average Price For This Type Of Treatment?

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I have something that’s been on my mind and I hope you can help me with it. I have had a great deal of restoration on my teeth and would like to start having implants rather than continuously having further treatment to restore old fillings etc. I am 57 years old, look after, what is left of my teeth, fanatically. I have been forced out of work, ex military, age etc, and would prefer to keep the cost as low as possible. Could you advise me whether I can have implants and what would be an average price for this treatment? Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Mark, Could You Advise Me On Any Clinics Which Deal With Single Tooth Repair?

Tuesday, November 5th, 2013
Q.

Dear Mark. I broke a corner of right front tooth when I was a child, it was very unnoticeable. Then when I was 22 I decided to repair it. I went to a private dentist. Who told me that if she put filling on the corner it would come off, so she told me of another way of repairing it. She said it would be a proper repair. Unfortunately, she removed nearly half of the visible part of my tooth, then made a hole in the root canal and put a metal peg in it and then created a new tooth. It was thicker and after few weeks it got darker. I came back and ask her to do anything about it, but she only said it changed colour because its dead now. Later it had been redone by other dentist, the peg had to be removed but it’s never been the same as my left tooth. Since then I do not like to picture myself with a full smile.
I so much want to have it done with Harley Street Dental Clinic, but your receptionist said that you do not deal with single tooth repair unfortunately.
I totally agree that this work should be done with by very experienced and very high quality cosmetic dentist. Would you be so kind as to advise me?
Is there are any chance to have it done with you in Harley Street Dental Clinic?

I Think My Wisdom Tooth Is Coming Through But I Am Worried It Could Be Something Serious. Can You Help Me?

Monday, October 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello, right at the back of my mouth where my wisdom tooth would be there is a piece of gum that is inflamed like a little bubble.

It happened a few days ago but went down. Now it has come back again. It is only painful to push on though and is not causing me too much distress at the moment. I also have a filling on to tooth next to it which I’m not sure would make any difference. I’m also suffering with a cold at the minute so I’m unsure as to whether this could affect it either.
I’m assuming it might just be my wisdom teeth coming through as I am 24 years old but I’m worried it could be something serious.

Please help me with this!

Thanks.

If I Send You My Dental X-Ray Photo, Can You Tell Me If My Overbite Can Be Fixed?

Thursday, October 24th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I was wondering if I sent you my dental X-ray, whether you could tell me if my overbite can be corrected? I have a deep overbite and I was wondering if it could be corrected in any way at all? With or without surgery. I just do not like having the overbite and I also lost a tooth and the filling came out of the same tooth because of it. I had a root canal years ago and had a crown and post put in and then that came out maybe because of my overbite as my bottom teeth were pushing right up towards it. I hope you can offer suggestions to help me fix my overbite problems.

I’ve Been Told My Teeth Can’t Support Braces, So What Are My Other Options?

Friday, September 6th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I have already undergone the treatment for braces some four years back, but from the time the treatment was over, I noticed my teeth were starting to get protruded and thereby opening gaps. Now it seems to look how it appeared to look prior to the treatment. Yet my teeth have developed lots more cavities and do not have a lot of strength to bite anything very hard. Enough fillings have been put in from my childhood and some even more recently. I am 25 now. When I have approached several dentists they advise me not to go for braces again as my teeth are not in a condition. Could you kindly suggest what other options may be available? I hope to hear from you in the near future.

I Have A Sore Mouth After Root Canal Treatment, And I’m Worried I Might Lose A Tooth, Can You Help Me?

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I hope you can help me please, I had RCT on a upper back tooth which was not successful I changed my dentist and had the RCT done again, it was very painful afterwards and took several months to settle down. My problem now is that there is a small old filling on the inside of this tooth which is making my tongue sore I spoke to the dentist about having the old filling redone and was told because it was attached to a larger filling it was best to leave it and he filed down the old filling to try to smooth it but this is not successful. I did look at the tooth with a small mirror to see for myself and the filling looks old but I also noticed a dark horizontal line just under the gum line on this tooth and when I touched it the tooth was tender, I am worried that some damage has been done to the tooth whilst having the two RCT.
I can’t afford to loose this tooth so please could you advise me what I should do, I would appreciate your knowledge regarding my problem.

Thank you so much

Can You Get Lumineers Done On Teeth Which Have Been Filled?

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello there Dr Solanki. I have a slight problem that I hope you can help me with. I’m looking for some advice as to whether or not it is possible to have lumineers on filled teeth? Basically, there wasn’t a massive hole so the filling isn’t too large and I’ve been speaking to a friend who has had extensive dental work done in the past, however they seem unsure so wanted an expert opinion. Also, after doing a little independent reading around the topic it seems that staining could be an issue? I’m a little confused so would appreciate it if you could clarify. Thank you.
