What braces treatment should I get before my wedding?

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am 21 years old and getting married in 9 months, I have been considering braces for the past couple of month. I had them when I was younger so there isnt much to be fixed but it’s for my own self confidence. Can you tell me how much I should budget for the cheapest option available? I shouldn’t need them for that long but have I left it too late to get something done before my wedding?

Thanks

Would Lumineers be a good option if I wanted to widen my smile?

Q.
Hi, I would like to widen my smile and show my teeth more. My teeth are straight and in good health so I am not so keen on having veneers as it seems quite invasive. I am interested in having Lumineers, do you perform this procedure and would it help achieve the results I am looking for? Also, can teeth be made longer using Lumineers? How much does it cost per tooth to have Lumineers? Thanks,

I’m terrified that I’ll loose all my teeth and I don’t want invasive surgery. What are my alternatives?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
I thought I had pretty good teeth, I am 53 and they are white and very good shaped. the Dentist said yesterday I have gum disease (deep kind at the bone) at back of both lower and upper. talking about gum surgery and other one hour sessions in the chair and lots of money I dont have. importantly I dont feel I can go through with the invasive side of this deep cleaning of root etc. Whats my alternative – would it cure me if I have them out – I just cant do this and I am terrified. I am manic about teeth and cant believe this has happened in 21/2yrs since all fine. whats the easiest way through it, general anaesthetic at dental hospital or have them out or what. Help!! Im sick with worry, how long have I got , will all my teeth fall out and how soon??????,
