would i get free dental veneers in the NHS

Monday, September 15th, 2008
Q.
Hi Julian, I’ve had a large gap in my front two teeth since I was a child, it’s about 5-6mm wide so it’s quite big. I was looking into getting Veneers but I’m not sure if they would make much of a difference with a gap that big. I don’t think I’d want my front two teeth to look much bigger either. What advice can you give me? I’m 18 and a student so obviously I can’t afford them right now but I’m not sure if I would get them free off of the NHS? Any help would be much appreciated.

do you know a veneers dentist in brighton

Thursday, August 14th, 2008
Q.
Hello I had veneers fitted 13 years ago and they now need replacing. I was never very happy with the original veneers (I had them done for free on the NHS as I was a student at the time) – they felt very big for my mouth and kept falling off. Subsequent dentists have told me they were not done very well. I have moved house since so now have a different dentist. My question is should I go to a specialist cosmetic dentist (If so could you recommend one in Brighton as there don’t appear to be any recommended on the website in Brighton)or should I trust my normal dentist? Will there be a big difference in cost as my budget isn’t huge? Thank you! Melody

I suffer with severe mouth ulcers but have crooked teeth that i am very concious over and would like to be straightened but i have been told that having a brace would just cause even more discomfort for my ulcers. is there any other alternative brace other than having a ‘train track’ type that would cause me discomfort, or any other type of surgery that could straighten my teeth.

I have yellow stained teeth and a lot of decay with silver fillings what would it cost to fix this

Monday, July 7th, 2008
Q.
I know it is hard to estimate without a consultation, but i just want to get an idea of costs. I have yellow stained teeth, and there seems to be decay between the teeths, on my lower and upper teeth. I have quite alot of silver fillings too, my dental health is poor. I am only 25 and it makes me so unhappy having horrible teeth, I always seem to be the one whos single out of my mates, I cant talk or smile properly because im afraid people will make fun of me, it makes me so unhappy and sometimes i just feel like killing myself. I cant even get a good paid job because i hate people looking at me. so I was just wondering if you could give me a rough price of how much treatement would cost, or at least a price list? I will not be able to afford it im sure, as I am in a poor paid job, and have alot of student debts, so I will properly be unhappy for the rest of my life but if you could give me an idea that would be great.

My teeth have greyed after trauma and root canal

Friday, July 4th, 2008
Q.
I recently had trauma to 2 of my front teeth (front left and next left), and had root canals. The teeth have greyed and im having internal bleaching on the teeth. I have been advised that I could avoid crowning for a number of years and have spoken to people whose front tooth has lasted 15 years, the NHS dentist said I should not rush it anyway as i need to see how the root canals progress and whether they are successful. Im very depressed at the moment as the trauma was caused when I was assaulted. I have had a great life to date and only recently married. This has left a huge dark cloud over our lives and time in our new house. I have no other problems with my teeth and only ever had one filing. Now I cant bite down on food and my tooth colour has not returned to a satisfactory colour. Im scard of crowns and implants and with a high flying job cannot be out of work for long- is the cerec crown the way to go? We dont have much money at the moment with moving and the wedding so need the best solution for reasonable cost- please advise

My son had missing front teeth can he have dental implants on NHS

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Q.
My 16 year old son has his front two teeth but the teeth either side of these are missing (they have never come through). As well as this all his teeth are quite small, so I am worried that bridges would not be suitable. He has a brace at the moment to keep his teeth in place. Is there anywhere that he could have Implants on the NHS?
