after a smile makeover will my mouth look smaller than it does now
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009Hello , I have a question about a smile makeover. I have the dracula teeth(on my upper jaw) sticking out and they make it difficult for me to shut my mouth after smiling because the ends of my mouth don’t shut especially when my dracula teeth are dry. So I am thinking of having this procedure but one thing still bugs me. If my dracula teeth get fixed , and they get pushed back, will my mouth look smaller than it does now? If so, is there any way to have my teeth fixed without this side effect? Thank you. I am looking forward to your reply.
I am 23 years old my teeth have started rotting
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008I am 23 years old. I have had 3 children, and during my pregnancies my teeth started rotting, so me being pregnant, thinking I could not help. I did not go. I stopped brushing my teeth for awhile because they would hurt, my gums would be very tender and bleed (they still do). I try to brush my teeth now and I still have the same problem. I have a lot of holes, a missing k-9 tooth, a couple of rotting wisdom teeth, missing moullers. It hurts sometimes no matter what I eat. It seems as though when I chew my teeth are going to just break. I’m so afraid of losing my teeth but I’m afraid of pain and I don’t like to hear my teeth being pulled out, that sounds awful. I know I should go see a dentist and I really want to, but money is always an issue. My credit is awful but I need help so bad. My mouth is falling apart and I’m so sad about this that it almost makes me feel depressed and I don’t like to smile or even open my mouth. I don’t even like to kiss anymore!! 🙁 please help do I still have a chance?
I am a very nervous person about Dentists
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Hi Komai I am a very nervous person about Dentists and am 22 yr old student who also has never had any work done on my teeth i have had consultations done but too scared too go back because the dentist was really nasty to me for never going(my parent never took me) but i really have lost all confidence and don’t want to smile or look in the mirror. I would really love to have cosmetic dentistry and start over with a new smile. Do you think that you could get this done on the NHS as i cant really afford the cost of the treatment as im still at uni . regards

A small side tooth has broke
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008A small side tooth has broke (the back half)after a root canal filling. My previous dentist said that she could crown it for me but I didn’t want her to crown it because I wasn’t happy with my last crown. She filled it for me. Two years on, the filling has falling out and my new dentist said that I can’t have a crown as there is not much tooth left at the back. She has tried to fill it but it kepts falling out. She says that she doesn’t think my tooth will last long. I have looked up what I could do and the only thing is an implant but they are so expensive and they don’t do them on the NHS. Is there any alternative place I could go. Maybe trainees in a hospital. I live in London. I don’t have very good teeth because when I was 17 years old, I went into hospital for an op and the drugs they gave me rotten lots of my teeth, epecially all my top front teeth. Which have cause me pain ever since. Thanks for your help.
I want a natural nice smile
Sunday, September 14th, 2008This may be a long winded note but I’m hoping you may be able to advise me. I am 43 and my teeth are not great and need work. The work I have done to date is-
1. Removal of incisor not front tooth but next, prep for implant (specialist was not happy to progress as bone did not grow back well enough). I trust this decision and have opted for a bridge – cantilever.
2. 2 x re-root canal – 1 lower molar (first one) fine 2 top 2nd molar – can flare up occasionally. (may need an apisectomy).
3. Prep of 2 upper premolar for crowns.
I think my dentist is OK (part of a dental chain) and was recommended; not cheap but not Harley Street prices – about £1000+ a crown. Root canals were £1400 done by the specialist in restorative work. But practically every time I leave the surgery I seem to have to go back due to pain. The most recent being after a temporary crown was fitted, the whole of side of face hurt. Went back he could not see a problem drilled a bit and sent me on my way with another load of antibiotics. (Is it usual for a dentist to be looking at the internet whilst waiting for X-ray to be developed). Also, he seems to not remember my case notes (or does not look at them before I arrive). I suppose I just don’t feel comfortable with him but now feel I would have to find another and have no idea how to. Nobody I know can recommend one – my husband sees a NHS practice but I have decided to go the private route as want cosmetic work on front. I will be having 3 crowns, 3 crowns or veneers and 1 bridge on the upper and 2 crowns, couple of fillings to replace leaking on lower as well as bleaching the bottom row – the odd thing is I have been told that you should bleach first and then try and match up the natural teeth to this. He did not seem to think this was necessary. Also, on the top I have one perfectly good tooth – I think it a good shape (canine) and would ideally like to just bleach and match to this. It is the front four that are in the worst shape. But he says why am I basing my whole smile around one tooth which I can understand but I have so few ‘virgin’ teeth. I would like to keep the ones I do have. Is this not a challenge for a Cosmetic dentist working with the good teeth? May have to have another top molar removed as endodontist said it was not good enough to re-root canal (it was filled with silver points) and could be destroying the bone around other teeth. My main priority is to have a good bite as I suffer from tmj and facial pain, and clench my teeth. Sort out the foundation I want a very natural smile – not too white and Hollywood a la Jodie Marsh just an ordinary ‘you have nice teeth’ look. Definitely do not want bulbous teeth (chicklets).
I am getting married next year and want the perfect smile
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Hi, I am getting married next year and want to have the perfect smile. I have been told i can’t have veneers because i grind my teeth quite badly. My teeth are also not very straight and seem to be quite small. What would you reccomment to improve my smile ?
I have always wanted to have a straight, white smile
Friday, September 12th, 2008Dear Komal, I have always wanted to have a straight, white smile so started asking my dentist what options I could explore. My teeth are in good condition but the front left tooth is turned sideways slightly which leaves a gap between the two front teeth when looking at my right side. The tooth to the left of the crooked tooth is also turned sideways. I had white filling put on these two teeth about 7 years ago to give them a straighter appearance but now it has turned slightly darker than the other teeth. My dentist first suggested veneers but after more inspection said white crowns would be best for the two ‘sideways’ teeth. The only thing is I think I would like to have the first 6 front teeth crowned or veneered as they are all different lenghts and my k’nine teeth are quite pointy. Are you able to mix porceline veneers and crowns when they are positioned next to each other and would they be noticeably different? I am only asking as I know it is not great to fit crowns to already healthy teeth as once you have had them done you can not go back to not having them, cost is also a factor. Also I would like my teeth whitened before the procedure. What would be the average cost for 2 crowns and 4 porceline veneers with full teeth whitening before hand? Or can you suggest an alternative. I was quoted £500 per tooth for crowns and £100-£150 for porceline veneers. Is this a good price for quality as I want them to last a very long time.
