How Much Would It Cost to Replace Teeth with a Bridge?

Friday, May 27th, 2016
Q.

How much would it cost to replace the four lower incisors with a bridge off the two lower canines?
I have an upper palate that the lower middle incisors hit when I bite. I have lost one of the incisors already and another is working loose. I have been informed that the bone is not strong enough for implants. Apparently the bone has receded and the wider incisors are not strong enough to support the bridge.

My Veneers Have Altered My Bite. Can They Be Leveled?

Monday, September 8th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I recently had veneers on 5 of my front teeth, and am very disappointed and have no faith in the dentist who did them. Two of my teeth already had old veneers on them and the dentist had a great deal of trouble getting these off. I think he may have shaved off too much tooth. I queried the colour (A1) which is far too white. One of the incisors is longer than the other so my bite is now wrong. The incisors also jut out more than before and feel very uncomfortable.
Can the incisors be leveled? I went as a private patient and paid £2.500. Can you offer any advice on how to correct this?

How Should I Tackle The Gap Between My Incisors?

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr, I am 34yrs old female.I will describe my most problematic area which is my top row only,please tell me what is the best option for me. I have the widest gap between my two central incisors. I can fit a pen through this gap. My right lateral incisor is missing, it has always been like that I did not do an extraction. My left lateral incisor position is occupied by a small baby tooth,strange but true . Do you think a snap on smile would be right for me and what cost will I be looking at ? Am only asking about the top row. I have never smiled in public or photo,I would like to get married and smile in my wedding photos, can you help please?

The roots of my incisors are crooked and cause pain, how likely are they to fall out?

Thursday, February 14th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I went to the orthodontist 2 weeks ago and he took x-rays of my teeth as my two front central incisors cause pain when biting an apple or when any force is applied to them when chewing etc. The x-ray showed that the roots on these teeth are curved as appose to pointed and they are half the length of the roots of my lateral incisors. I also have a 7mm overbite. He phoned me up and i have a choice whether to get braces or not. Apparently there is a risk of these teeth falling out if i get braces but i do not like the look of the as the two central incisors overlap. My parents tell me that it’s not obvious but i am extremely conscious of it. I would really appreciate any statistics of the chance of them falling out etc and a second opinion as i have no idea what the repercussions could be.

Thank you so much and i look forward to hearing back from you.

What is the best method for correcting spaces between my central incisors and canine teeth?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

Hello doctor, I wondered if you could help me? Firstly I don’t have my lateral incisor teeth (they never appeared) and secondly I have gaps between my central incisors and canine teeth (gaps evenly spread). I don’t want any gaps anymore I’m 39 and would like this resolved as quickly as possible as it is getting me down  – what would you say is the best method to get this resolved – veneers/bridge/crowns – and an approximate cost would be great. And how long the process would take for example would it be 4 weeks or 6 months? Thank you for your advice in advance, I just need a general idea.

My adult incisors have not grown normally and caused a lot of problems, what would you recommend?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.

I have a problem that has baffled most of the dentists I’ve seen. My incisors are baby teeth that never fell out. Apparently the adult teeth are lying above them in the palate but are horizontal not vertical. The teeth have been filled and are badly discoloured and I have hated them for years (I am now 51). Now I think I may be in danger of losing one and am at a loss where to go for help as I was told that implants are out of the question due to the location of the adult teeth above. My last dentist suggested veneers on them but with a risk of loss I was scared to try. I have just moved to the UK (Melksham, Wilts) and don’t know where to start looking for help.

My teeth are crooked, what can i do to straighten them?

Friday, February 11th, 2011
Q.

I am now 37 and all through my life and two pregnancies my dentist said I had very healthy teeth. Now I have 6 very crooked teeth on the bottom and they cross over alot. I am very concerned about it and try not too show them so when I smile I just raise the corners of my mouth. Also my front two teeth have always been fab but now they are looking transparent and have visible lines that I notice when I look in the mirror. My dentist said it was due to my age! Please help and tell me what can be done to straighten my crooked teeth. They cross over by nearly a third in 1 or 2 places so I think braces is out of the question.

I have short roots but i want orthodontic treatment, what can I do?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Verma

I had braces when I was younger and the top retainer was removed soon after my braces were removed. Both my upper lateral incisors point inwards and this looks rather unsightly and I have been told that my roots are short and that further orthodontic treatment would not be adviseable.

Is there anything I can do to improve this?

A.
If your roots are short, then … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
