What procedures are available to reconstruct my broken teeth?

Friday, November 19th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I have fron teeth with two upper ones broken at gum level. No others except some broken gum level side ones. I had a dental bridge about a year ago but it fell off and the teeth under it are now at gum level and black. I’m diabetic and horrified of visiting a dentist because i don’t know what is going to happen. Kindly let me know of the procedure that will be followed and if I will be able to have clip ons or will all my teeth have to be pulled out? Many thanks for your help.,

Having initially been told I wouldn’t need to have two ‘exposures’, I am now being advised differently, any advice?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
In a weeks time I am having the first stage of two implants being put in, on my top jaw near the front, after two extractions and a bone graft last june. I will have a bridge as well as I now have three spaces. When I was given a quote in June, the dentist said it was very unlikely I would need to have two ‘exposures’ but now he says I do have to, costing an additional £165 each, or otherwise I can not wear my denture for the next six months. I simply could not understand his explanation. Could you please explain? Thank you.,

I am struggling to keep tartar from the back of my two front lower teeth. Can you offer any practical advice?

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
Q.
Dr Hughes. After years of not looking after my teeth due to a fear of the dentist, I got gum disease (suprise suprise I hear you say!! I have since booked my ideas up and after 2 years of regular dental appointments and a new dental regime my gums are back to health. HOWEVER I struggle to keep the tartar from the back of my 2 front lower teeth and because of my previous gum disease I have practically no gum left at the front or back of these 2 teeth. My dentist doesn’t seem too worried. There is a little movement in them but not much. Is there any surgery I could have to cover up the space where my gum has dissapeared? or could you suggest anything else? I am 36 years of age and use to have lovely white teeth some of which are now stained as a result of using Corsidal. Any advice on treatment would be very much appreciated. ,
