Monday, October 19th, 2009Is crowning for £900 per tooth expensive Plz advice
Monday, October 19th, 2009Q.
I am looking to have my 2 crowns replaced as they are beginning to look discoloured (fitted 18 years ago) and I have some gum receeding. I am not convinced my dentist will do a good job and I have had another quote form an orthadontist for £900 per tooth – is this very expensive? I think my own dentist charges in the region of £300.

Could the gaps in my teeth be repaired under the NHS
Saturday, October 17th, 2009Q.
Hi. Many thanks in advance for taking time out to read, and hopefully answer my question. Over 20 years ago I had a dental brace, but for the last few years, my teeth have started to move. It appears that because of the gaps in my teeth I have developed a “rasp or lisp” in my speech, which is very distinctive. My question is this. I realise and accept to have a dental brace will cost me money. I am prepared to pay this. However, in view of the fact the gaps in my teeth are causing me to speak with a lisp/rasp, could the gaps in my teeth (one of which must be close to 1cm) be repaired under the NHS, or if not, would it cost of a dental brace have to be funded soley by myself? I am intent on having a brace, and this question is the first step in progressing. Many thanks

Could have my teeth straightened on the NHS
Saturday, October 17th, 2009Q.
Hi, im wondering if i could have my teeth straightened on the NHS. I was supposed to have fixed braces when i was younger but i was so scared of having teeth extracted i refued. Now my teeth are overcrowded and somtimes experience pains. I asked my NHS dentist if i could have treatment and he said it would be very expensive. I am on benefits and was wondering if i would have to go private to receive the treatment. My crowded mouth has affected my confidence for years and i really want something done about it and to be able to smile.

Can I get braces even though I have 2 upper implants
Saturday, October 17th, 2009Q.
Can I get braces even though I have 2 upper implants (front) and a fixed bridge on the bottom front? Braces for the rest of my teeth, to straighten them and make them pretty and to “match” the way my implant and bridge looks? Thanks!
