Having previously had braces, will I be able to have them fitted again by a NHS dentist?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had 4 teeth taken out and a fixed metal braces when I was younger, but my dentist took these off before the gaps had fully closed. I was just happy to have them off at the time. But now at 23 I am conscious of these gaps as you can see them when I smile, and my front teeth have moved forward rather than sitting straight. So, my question is, is private the only way I can get the ‘perfect smile’ or can I get braces again with an NHS dentist (obviously I would have to pay), and if so what braces do the NHS offer and what are the average prices? I think I would probably prefer the wire behind the teeth! But would like to know my options. Many Thanks For your time!,

Will the NHS provide bridges and implants?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
I have recently been involved in a serious car accident (6 days ago) i lost both front teeth and my middle bottom and fractured a top incisor. i was taken to hospital with two of my teeth and was told they could be implanted within 4 hours, the hospital failed to even examine my teeth and in the end decided just to treat my broken forearm and to leave my teeth until 2 days later. By the time this decision was made they had missed the 4hour window. I had my fractured tooth removed and am waiting for an appointment to take out the root. I have been informed the nhs do not perform implants but i am a student aged just 22 who cannot afford £2,000 per tooth when surely it was not my fault they had not tried to implant my real teeth. I’m at a real loss here, im extremely down, refuse to go out in public and am struggling to eat. Do the nhs provide bridges? would that be applicable to me? the bottom tooth i have been told can be fixed by wearing a bottom brace to close the gap.i have yet to see my dentist,this will be next week. I’m just after some advice please as I’m so worried i will have dentures at the age of 22 or that it will not be sorted out appropriatley. regards,

Are NHS crowns as bad as my dentist claims?

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I have just recently been to see my dentist and have been told that I will need a crown on one of my front upper tooth (I had an apesectomy so there is no root and the tooth is very grey). However he said it would be better to go private as the NHS Crowns are not a great colour and is very noticeable in colour compared to my other teeth! I have been quoted £400 if I wanted to go private, which I can not afford as I am four months pregnant. My question being, are the NHS crowns as noticeable as my dentist says?,
