My Dentist Doesn’t Provide Gum Grafting And I’m Struggling To Find One In London Who Does, Can You Help?

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013
Q.

Hi there
I feel I need to see a gum specialist regarding gum grafting on some of my teeth. I’m totally confused how to find a clinic for a fair consultation. My dentist are pretty clueless and not helpful as its something they can’t provide as a service.
I’m also worried about the crazy cost for such treatment in this country especially London where I live. There are SO may different dentists in my area and I simply cannot choose. I’m prepared to go elsewhere in the uk for the treatment to save costs.
Please can you advise me as to what I should do?Thank you for your time.

Can I have cosmetic dental work to cover my exposed roots?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have previously had gum disease. It’s better now as it has been treated, but my teeth are exposed at the root. Can any cosmetic dental work help improve the appearance of my teeth? My teeth are quite small too. I have looked at veneers, but I don’t think this would help me as the problem is at the root with the gum?

Also, are there any payment plans that could help me with the cost of this?

Thanks

Can you recommend a dental expert in Northern England to treat my gum issues?

Monday, August 6th, 2012
Q.

Dr Hughes

Having no previous dental problems I decided to have cosmetic dentistry 2 years ago.

I have had crown lengthening procedure, 10 veneers followed by further surgery on my gum pockets.

I am left in constant discomfort from bleeding, swollen and sorte gums. My gums feel as though they do not fit around my teeth anymore and that I have too much space between the teeth where food accumulates.

I have also had severe bruxing, a jaw disc out of line and incorrect bite. All in all, a mess.

My dental hygiene is excellent. I believe that the preparation on my teeth and surgery was incorrectly carried out.

I went to great lengths to do my due diligence prior to choosing a dentist. My dentist has tried to fix the issues but seems to have exhausted is own knowledge or skills.

I have lost all faith in the dental profession.

Can you recommend an expert in the north of england to diagnose and advice a treatment plan please? Can you suggest possible causes and treatments for the gum issues?

Thank you in advance for reading this.

Yours sincerely.

Can you tell me where I can receive the new Lanap treatment?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Q.

Where is London can I get Lanap treatment – have severe peridontal disease – 50% bone erosion in places. Just had xrays completed. Front tooth has limited bone left and dentist talking about stabalisation asap. Always had a few pockets that were cleaned on a regular basis – but I did lapse for the last 18 months – but no real symptoms over that period – continued brushing and flossing. Literally 5 days ago I became very aware that my front tooth was very sensitive and shaky hence visit to dentist. In some places she noticed the pocket was a measurement of 9 – seems have heriditary issues as opposed to very bad oral health. I obviously want to address this and she has advised a course of deep cleaning across all quadrants etc – but this lanap treatment seems like a route that may be very beneficial to me – however I cannot find a dentist in London that actually provides it – Can you help?

My gums are inflamed, does my tooth need to be extracted?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Q.

Dear Andrew, I have advanced periodontitis with furcation at the site of my second molar. At the moment it looks like a small dark dot at the gum line. ‘Tunneling’ has been mentioned to me as a possible type of treatment to aid with cleaning at this site. It was suggested to try cleaning with a very small tepe and for some reason (although I am always very careful) it seems to have internally inflamed the whole lower side which is painful. My question is, and I am wondering, if it may be best to have it extracted or what the general, approximate outcome is for a tooth that is tunneled to help with home cleaning. A difficult question I know. Thank you for reading and for your time.

My gums have receded by about 10mm, how can I repair them?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Q.

Hello
My question is one mainly involving my gums. They have receeded from their original position upon my teeth by about 10mm and i would like to ask if there are any procedures available that could repair them? This problem affects my confidence when smiling,especially if it is for a photo.
I also would like gaps that i have fixed so that i would eventually have a smile to be proud of,but,after already spending in excess of £350 i am of course looking for,as im sure you hear regularly,the cheapest procedure possible. Thank you for your time though,and i hope to hear from you soon.
