My Bridges Are Deteriorating And My Choices Are Dental Implants Or Plastic Dentures. What Would You Suggests?

Friday, November 29th, 2013
Q.

I have had a number of consultations with my local dentist, due to the deterioration in the teeth that are supporting two bridges (which I’ve had for about 20 years) on the upper left and right side of my mouth. The choices are plastic dentures or dental implants. To me implants are the only choice. My dentist would refer me to a private clinic, but I am keen to get as good impartial advice/consultation as possible. There is some sensitivity under my bridges and I don’t want to see further deterioration. I am very concerned about the cost as well, and if payment plans are possible, as my dentist is quoting £2000 per implant. Could you advise me? Would you offer a consultation? Many thanks.

I Chipped A Front Tooth A Few Years Back. Should I Have The Other One Reshaped?

Monday, November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie. I chipped one of my front teeth a few years back now but the tooth I chipped has always been longer than the one next to it. Do you think I could I get some sort of reshaping to make it the same length as the one next to it? If so how much do you think would it cost? I need about 2 mm taken of the tooth so its the same length. The part of the tooth that is chipped is now the same length as the other teeth, so the reshaping would also have to match the chip. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

My Dentist Trimmed My Teeth Too Far Down And Now They Are Sensitive, Now I May Need A Root Canal. What Should I Do?

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013
Q.

Dear Doctor,
9 Months ago I got dental bridges on both sides (lower) from Pakistan. The dentist had trimmed the teeth too much and I still feel sensitivity issues with cold, hot and even pressure. Though it gets better with time but not finished. I consulted another dentist and he advised me to leave it as they will be okay with time. The dentist who fixed them, now advising me for root canal but I don’t want to because my supporting teeth are healthy and I don’t want them to be dead.
Now I am in the UK,  please advise me, what do I have to do to overcome this problem? Can I wait more or go for the replacement of bridges.

Thank you and kind regards.

Should I Get My Eroded Teeth Crowned?

Friday, May 17th, 2013
Q.

i am 38 years old. i have overbite problem, what is worse is that now my lower teeth have started eroding due to the problem. There is also acute sensitivity to temperature fluctuations which is very uncomfortable. Another major issue is that often when i am chewing my food there is quite severe pain which again is horrible. Doctors have advised me to go for crowning. Please tell me whether you think that this is the correct course of action. Presenlty i am in kashmir. Where I can go for it safely in kashmi? How much will it cost to crown with good material in kashmir? Does it require a specialist? Sorry for all the questions but I really need to get this sorted out. Thank you.

My Father’s Dentures Are Causing Him Extreme Pain, Can We Arrange Treatment?

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
Q.

I’m making this inquiry on behalf of my father who is petrified of the dentist and has not been for years. His teeth are getting so bad it’s affecting his life, he can’t eat, is in pain and is more to the point very embarrassed about it all, I can’t talk to him about it as he just goes very quiet but it’s making him miserable and us along with him, I feel if I find the right solution for him then he will make the move and get his teeth sorted out once and for all but I don’t know who to turn to? His whole top layer are false dentures which are ill fitted and he needs at least a new set of those but his bottom teeth he can’t even brush they are that sore, I can not imagine the daily pain he is putting up with but I want to help him (they could need all taking out) I need someone to help us and give us the options, he has had a lot of trouble with his teeth since being 13 years old having smashed his teeth on the ice (hence the dentures) so he has several problems around fear, pain, embarrassment etc, please could you help or point me in the right direction, cost is not the issue it’s getting him happy again.

Kind regards.

Has teeth whitening given me craze lines?

Friday, June 3rd, 2011
Q.

Dear Dentist

I had my teeth whitening in house using 27% Hydrogen Peroxide about 2 months ago. I noticed I have craze lines since. Can a high percentage cause crazing?

Also can you feel crazes in teeth because I can hold ice in my teeth and literally go straight from hot to cold nicely and eat nuts etc? But sometimes in the wind I�ll breathe then I�ll wet my teeth after and they tingle/burn. Is this a sign of cracked teeth or just sensitivity? As I feel I have damaged them now due to the whitening?

Regards
