What is the difference between the NHS and private crowns

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi Here’s my situation i was playing football and in a freak accident i went up for a header and the opposition knocked half of my central incisor and three quarters of my lateral incisor. I want to go private on the the insurance but they’ll only accomodate 200 pounds. Will the nhs crown be shaped and correct to my own teeth, and also what would the difference be between the nhs and private. I will look forward to your reply. Thanks

Where should i go to have a new crown NHS or Private

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I’ve just been to the dentist (for the first time in years!). I’m lucky in that my teeth, gums, etc, are generally in good shape, but I do have a mark on my two front upper teeth which I’d like removing. The dentist was a bit confusing, talking about the treatment available on the NHS – vaneers underlined with metal which becomes visible after time? She said that crowns weren’t available on the NHS and that I’d have to go private, paying £310 for each tooth. However, I’ve been doing a bit of research and it would appear that crowns should be available, at the higher payment category, but would be of lesser quality to those provided privately. I’d like some advice on where to go from here – I’d obviously rather go the NHS route, but if the quality/life expectancy of the private crowns is significantly better, should I go this route? Thank you…

A.

My daughter is not happy with metal brace what are the alternatives

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
My teenage daughter has been accepted for nhs treatment to have fitted braces. However,after years of being bullied and miserable because of her crooked, prominent teeth she is noe mortified at the thought of having a mouth full of metal. We asked if we could have a white upper brace and pay the difference but we were told that this was not possible and it would mean us paying the full cost of treatment £2300 we cannot afford to do this. Someone informed me that a gps letter stating that the metal one would have neg impact on her well-being would help. Is all of this info correct? would we have to pay the full amount? Thanks

I would advise asking an ortho… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it possible to receive immediate dentures on NHS

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi. A few weeks ago i was told by my dentist that all my teeth had to be removed. I have already had top and bottom teeth out on my right side and am due to have the rest taken out. I have read on different websites about immediate dentures that people have after having all teeth removed. My dentist have not mentioned anything about these and i was wondering if they were only available with private patients. I am on benefits so am nhs. Is it possible to recieve these on the nhs or do i have to go without teeth until my mouth have healed enough for dentures? (not something i am looking forward too as i’m only 36) If they are available to nhs patients is it something that is offered or do i have to ask? Thanks very much.

My NHS dentures feel very tight will i get use to it? any advice

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Q.
I recently had to have a partial denture fitted as the bridge I had broke because the tooth supporting it decayed. It is a NHS denture and I cannot get used to it. It feels very tight and my whole mouth seems to ache. My question is- will I get used to it or is it badly fitted? I am only wearing it when I go out and I feel my whole quality of life is reduced. It it next to my front teeth on the left and consistes of two teeth.

Is it possible to have dental implants and tooth whitening in NHS?

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Moore, I have had a long standing hisotory of dental work, it seems as though my teeth are just crumbling and needing filling in a different place every time. I have pain, tenderness, and severe discolouring. No gum disease or infection though. I have had a tooth removed which im sure now would have been better with root canal. the problem is, I can’t bite on that side, I have a gold crown above the missing tooth and on the other side a very painful filling that I cant bite on, they are all very sensitive to hot and cold. I asked the dentist what could be done, he said that I could have an implant but i’d have to pay for it. I dont have over a thousand pounds, as he said. Should the dentist have told me about the impact it would have before he removed it? He knew the crown was hard to bite with and the situation in the rest of my mouth. I have a few questions, is an implant on the nhs possible? is it possible to get tooth whitening on the nhs if a previous illness or medication has caused this? Same with braces or something similar as I have teeth out of place and really affects my bite. I’m in my 20’s. Hope that wasnt information overload and thanks a lot in advance for helping. Regards

A.
I’m sorry but none of these tr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
