I hate my teeth and would like a bridge, how much would it cost?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Q.

I hate my teeth and I’m very nervous about visiting the dentist. I need to make my teeth look better. I have two protruding front teeth due to gum disease and a lot of loose teeth. I think the solution would be to remove all the loose teeth and have the front two extracted and get a bridge. I reckon I would need around 4-5 teeth on the bridge. I would like to know what the cost would be for the treatment.

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

I have had 3 teeth removed from my upper jaw either side of my front teeth (2 on one side and one on the other) I also have gum disease. My top 2 front teeeth have been crowned and one of the crowns is moving so it all looks a bit of a mess!
I have been very self conscious for years and I would love to have a better smile but apart from being nervous of the dentist I am also very embarrased and put my hand over my mouth when I laugh!

I want to straighten my teeth but I am worried that it will not be worth it as there is gum disease in my family, should I just get dentures instead?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Q.

My dad had pyaria. His teeth were perfect but had to have them removed and received dentures because of disease. My gums have been receeding badly for years. I can see the roots of my teeth. Last dentist appt they did a measuring of gum to bone. Mine were not good. For two weeks now I’ve been tasting “infection”. Best word I can think of to describe. I rince with peroxide but there you have it. I have very good oral hygiene habits but i was told I have “soft” teeth as well as deep grooves. All back teeth have fillings. I would like to have teeth straighter but afraid to put money into it if I’m going to loose my teeth anyway. I’m basicaaly wondering if I should just go ahead and get dentures.
