Would A Fixed Bridge Work For Me?

Thursday, May 9th, 2013
Q.

I lost my front 4 teeth in a car crash, and have been so sad since. Lots of semi useless devices fitted some better than others, none really good.
All other teeth on top jaw are ok filled here and there but roots ok etc. I do not want implants, but surely a fixed bridge could work for me ? I have lost all confidence in these awful metal contraptions with teeth on, and I am in the public eyes more and more. I am confident but this is just so killing my SMILE. Any help ? Advice? Cost of doing a fixed bridge and getting me SMILING again. Thanks.

Why Do I Keep Losing Teeth?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
Q.

After leaving my private dentist years ago i went back to nhs dentist in my area. Everything i visit i end up loosing a tooth x 2 now and i feel they are not carrying out the necessary work until it is too late, I’m fed up asking for them to complete all the work and have even pre booked 5 appointments. I’m sick to death now as mouth is starting to fall apart. I have lost two teeth and looks like a third is going to have come out.  I’m totally down in the dumps and this has taken away my confidence in a big way, even though the teeth aren’t front facing i feel awful and avoid smiling as i appear to have a gaping black hole when I smile .. its looks dreadful and considering i had such a lovely smile i feel my teeth are simply not looked after when visiting . Never do they polish or clean them. just seems to big issues like teeth removal or a cap etc.

what do I do ?

My New Dentures Cause Me Pain And Make It Difficult To Eat, Is There Another Option?

Friday, March 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I have recently had my top 4 front teeth extracted and dentures fitted immediately. However I am not able to chew my food as my bottom 4 teeth prevent me from a full bite. I having to drink soup or eat very soft food as I can only use my tongue to ‘cut’ my food. The plate in my mouth is making the roof of my mouth sore and unable to bear pressure. Due to poor bone density I have been told my other teeth will not support a bridge and I don’t have a lot of money for implants. I was wondering if there is any other way or a thinner or more flexible denture (that is provided by the NHS) or is this my lot. I have the added problem of having a husband whose blood goes cold at the thought of seeing me with my missing teeth. Any response along with possible costs would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.
From a very sad 48 year old lady.

My Front Teeth Have A Gap Between Them And My Incisors Are Missing, What Are My Options?

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr,

I have a gap between my two front teeth and I’m missing my incisors either side of these teeth. I am really quite concerned as it is knocking my confidence a bit seeing as though it just makes my mouth look really really gappy. What would be the best solution without being to invasive? I’ve read through the different procedures and stuff so I know what they involve and I just think that it would be good to know which one I would need and the cost of this.
My teeth are really strong so I would want them to be removed but It would be nice to smile normally one day.

Thank you.

I Have Advanced Gum Disease, Whats The Best Way to Replace The Missing Teeth?

Thursday, January 31st, 2013
Q.

I am 41 yrs old,non;smoker,general good health.MY teeth are fine but owing to 15 yr gap in visits to dentist I (According to X -ray image)I now have advanced gum disease which will not respond to treatment,at least at a non specialist level,specialist treatment for me would be prohibitively expensive.consequently the rear molar on either side of the lower jaw has been removed-according to my dentist this now leaves my bottom teeth in a stable state,however 2 front teeth on the upper jaw have also been removed
and the 3 behind the right canine
also have infection beneath them and thus are scheduled for removal in near future.I already have a small denture for the missing front 2 teeth which slides into place without clips but this has to be removed in order to eat any but the softest foods.If all these teeth are removed is any infection
likely to be contained?can you suggest appropriate methods to replace missing teeth which might
be more secure than those I currently use?

It sounds like implants will b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should I Get Invisalign?

Thursday, January 24th, 2013
Q.

A very warm hello to you Dr. Moore,

I am in need of help regarding what would be the best possible treatment for a missing tooth/gap at the front of my teeth. I also need my teeth straightened and was thinking about Invisalign, are there any other treatments which would be best to straighten teeth? I guess I don’t want such a long treatment. I just have a missing tooth at the front and two others that were pulled but apart from that they rest are fine but need straightening.

I appreciate your time and help,

Thank you kindly, I look forward to reading your response.

I haven’t visited the dentist in 20 years because of a previous experience, what should I do?

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Bohara, I am a 50 yr old woman, living in northern ireland. About 20 years ago, I had an improperly treated abscess, which resulted in theloss of two teeth and since then have worn a temporary denture, as i have been too scared to go back. This is now causing too many problems, as i think i have gum disease. Is there anything I can do? if its possible, would like dentist to hide behind door as i walk in armed with a rubber hammer lol – the problem is my fear of something similar happening again. Please give me some advice, I need to go to the dentist but I’m so frightened.Thank you
