I can’t clean the gums in between my veneers, will this lead to problems?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there,

I had veneers done in spain around 6 years ago and they were done on one plate so all four front veneers are as one and I can’t clean the gums in between – do you think this will lead to problems, it already seems to be as the gums are bleeding and slightly receeding but my question is – should I get all four replaced and if so, what would that likely cost? I am worried I will just face many problems and they are the four front ones so its important they look good too 🙁 can you give me some impartial advice. Does it work to have them all on one plate – if there are already problems will I need to replace them??

thank you in advance!

I’ve been told to let my teeth fall out then I can receive dentures, what would you suggest I do?

Friday, August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I wondered if you give me some advice regarding my dental matter? My gums have receded badly and where my 4 front teeth are positioned my teeth are all loose. I am considering dental implants but would this be possible as my gums have receded, what is the likely cost?
My dentist suggested that I leave the teeth until they fall out and then wait up to 6 weeks for dentures. I do not want to wait 6 weeks. They are now uncomfortable and I am having a lot trouble when eating. What else would you suggest? Thank you.

My crowns are chipped, do I need new ones or will cosmetic bonding fix them?

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012
Q.

I crown my four front teeths (a pair on each side) almost 15 years ago. 10 years ago it chips in front in the middle, but i went to a dentist to do a bonding in the edge to mend it. Today, both pair of teeth receded and the gap reappear. My right hand side pair of teeth obviously seems stick together, look unnatural, when people speak to me, i feel that they keep staring at my teeth and know it is a crown. i can see laughter in thier eyes. And the gap in the middle making me uneasy and very self conscious. I don’t know what to do, do i need to redo the crown or put some layers of veneer or bonding to touch up the worn teeth. please advice more in detail and specific because after this i will go to a dentist and have my teeth checked, but i like to know before hand what should be my good alternatif and not making more wrong steps cause it already causing headache and making me withdrawn from people, i try not to open my mouth or smile in order not to show my teeth!

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.

I have protruding teeth, are there any quick treatments available to fix this problem?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi, i am 32 years old and I have problem with two of my front upper teeth. One of them is tilted around 45 degree angle and the other is straight but while smiling coming out of my lips.
Some 5 years ago I made a visit to my local dentist and he suggests me for wire braces. I used those for about 4 months only and because of my frequent visits to other part of world I was unable to continue with the braces.
I want to make those teeth straight. Is there any quick and reliable treatment available to make my tooth straight?
One more question regarding my gums. For last one year I realized that my gums are moving upwards, resulting in naked tooth roots. Is there any treatment available to re-grow the gums.

Thanks.

Am I suitable for a dental implant?

Friday, June 1st, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I have just returned from the dentist where i was meant to undergo a replacement crown, as my original one was 15 years old and was starting to have gum recede.
After a long time in the chair of removal and drilling and xrays, my dentist told me that there was something on my sinus something or other, (sorry)
At this point he started apologising that he had misinformed me, and that i would now no longer to be able to have a crown because it probably wouldnt hold.
I started crying and was told i could have a denture, bridge or inplant. What i was wondering, what would you advise me to do. Im only 40 and it is tooth b1 so i dont want a denture for obvious reasons, or a bridge because it would entail damaging already healthy teeth.
Would i be allowed to have an immediate post extraction inplant placement. I feel very upset and quite traumatised at the moment. Your opinion would be most appreciated. By the way, he put a temporary crown in place for now. Thanks.

Do you think my receding gums are due to the hard splint that I wear?

Friday, May 18th, 2012
Q.

Some of my gums are receding. I’ve been wearing hard splints for 8 years. The diagnosis was bruxism. A year ago I started with a strong and nagging pain in my neck and some headaches in the morning. I;ve got a new splint wich helps me to get rid of the neck and head pain but I feel sore in the gums of my two front teeth and canines. My gums aren’t bleeding or red or swollen. I don’t have any problem of bad breath or tartar or caries. I’ve been at specialist in jaws and the jaws are fine. What can I do? I couldn’t get a splint well done here in UK. The one I’ve got doen’t fit and causes intolerable pain. I’ve spent 8 months complaining. Just the gums in my front teeth and two on the left are receded.

I have lost the majority of my teeth but am scared of the dentist, can you help?

Monday, April 30th, 2012
Q.

I have lost almost all of my teeth over many years, some extracted many years ago. However the rest have come out due to my gums receeding over the last 10 years or so. I only have 3 left and only 1 of them is a complete tooth. I have a very severe phobia which prevents me from visiting a dentist and feel I simply cannot go. I am not scared of needles or pain but suffer from panic attacks which prevent me from sitting in the chair or waiting in the waiting room. If I could find one that could treat me as an NHS patient by visiting me at home would my gums be ok for dentures?, or will they have shrunk too much?. I have not seen a dentist in over 25 yrs. thank you for any help you can give me

Q.

Hello Dr Moore
I live with HIV and a cardio vascular isues and my gums have receded and have lost quite a few back teeth. The front teeth are in good condition, althought I am concerned that they may also go. I am looking for the best and most cost effective solution as well as a solution that looks good. Could you give me some idea what you consider the best way forward and if possible an idea of costs, and would you be willing to work with me? Is there a method of ‘gum reconstruction?
Many Thanks
