Can braces close a 1cm gap?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Respected Sir,
Due to an injury in my early age,my right lateral incisor overlapped my right central incisor.The overlapped right central incisor did not have a root and so my dentist removed both the teeth. Now there is approx. 1 cm gap there and the dentist has put braces to bring the left central incisor to the right and cover the space.He will bring the left lateral incisor in place of the left c and putting a cap on that tooth so that it looks like a central incisor.And because my left canine is very high, it will come down.
Is this treatment right? By doing so the dentist wants to cover the space along with bringing the canine down! Can braces have the capability to cover 1cm gap?
Please answer and explain.

How much would it cost to receive: 3 crowns, 3 root fillings and to have 2 teeth extracted?

Friday, August 31st, 2012
Q.

I am looking to have replacement crowns of my upper front 3xteeth, also require bridges to fill gaps on my lower back teeth x 2 to fill gap where 2 x teeth have been extracted (maybe x4) I also need 3 xroot fillings, and would like veneers on remaining teeth visible when I smile, back teeth to be whitened. 11x teeth upper(including 3 crowns) Could you 11x teeth and 2 gaps on lower. What do you think the cost would be for all the work? Also could you recomend a good dentist in the Chehire area, WA6.
KInd Regards J
P.S I have already had a consultation, which cost me £140, after having the special xrays, also 2 x teeth removed which cost £198 per tooth, I was under the impression that this would be the cost if surgical removal was required, although one of the teeth took a while to extract 5 to 10 minutes the other came away easily(both were broken and only had a sml amount above the gum remaining) I did not require surgery, but when I went to pay was charged £396, I coudn’t question this as I had had cotton buds put in the gaps, and couldn’t speak. Please please please, let me know if this sounds ok, or should I question it? I just want nice smile, it’s really getting me sown now, I don’t have the money and am using a credit card to finance my treatment. Have as for a quote on all work that I require, but up to yet not received one; it’s been over 6 weeks since my anitial consultation and it’s already cost £396 extractions+£140 consultaion+£35 for antibiotics(week after first consultation, got an absess on the tooth which was due to be removed)£579. Am a single mum earning £12,000 a year, can have free treatment on NHS, but not the kind I need. Really effecting my confidence. (43year old)

I don’t want to travel to and from Budapest so can you fit my dental implants in London?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I have had all my teeth extracted to get ready for implants, 4 upper and 4 lower. I am with vital Europe at moment but I require two more trips to Budapest. I saw your ad and wondered what the cost would be for same day teeth? I do not need a sinus lift and my gums are healing nicely. Having to go twice more to Budapest is kind of putting me off now, once for two days for insertion of implants and then I have to go back again in twelve more days to have the final clip bar system fitted.
Is this necessary or could you sort it out in London?
I have so far paid £ 2200 for extractions with £10k to pay for implants and teeth. Can you match this? I eagerly await your reply.
Many thanks.

How long will it take for my gums to heal after having 15 teeth extracted?

Monday, August 13th, 2012
Q.

How long does it normally take for gums to heal after an extraction of 15 teeth before someone can be fitted for dentures. I know that there are some places that do immediate dentures but i can’t afford that. I am going to get my teeth extracted next week there are 15 teeth all together one has a cap and one is a wisdom tooth. I don’t want to be without teeth for a long time so if you could please just give me an estimated time i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

I lost my smile 2 years ago starting with a small gap

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
Q.

I am really really confused on what to do. My whole life I was complimented on my smile, my smile was the only thing I had going for me, I lost that smile 2 years ago.I have been having so many problems I don’t know where to turn or where to begin. I am on my 4th dentist just this last year and paid over $3,500 already…my problem began with a space that started 2 years ago with my front teeth..I was told I had periodontal disease, I could never afford the money to have that problem resolved so with that I started losing my back bottom teeth, and now 3 more bottom teeth need root canal treatment.I only have 8 teeth on the bottom and I now need 2 pulled in the back at the top.Most of my teeth are crowned at the top but.the latest dentist told me I need the 2 back teeth pulled because they are growing down because I have no bottom teeth to stop them from growing.If I get that done, and have the surgery (which I can’t), he said I can get braces after that to fix the gap I now have between my teeth…can I still get braces with so many pulled teeth and having crowns which are over 15 years old? Won’t they get weak and fall out? Since I have so many problems, should I get them all pulled and get dentures? Do I get my 3 bottom teeth root canaled and then get a partial? I don’t know what to do first, being I can afford all the work, I think my best bet would be to get them all pulled but my dentist doesn’t recommend me doing that.I also keep getting abcess, the last one almost put me in the hospital, it was all through my body, I woke up with it and couldn’t even stand,I am just so confused.I haven’t taken a picture or smiled in 2 years and this has gotten me so depressed.I cry every time I look in the mirror, I brush my teeth looking down so I don’t see myself…I don’t even know if I trust these dentist because my first dentist did some work (scaling) and sent me to an orthodontist for my braces and after this new dentist took x-rays, fitted me for braces, he told me he needed a letter from a endo (some other type of dentist), so I had to go to this new dentist who told me I needed a lot more work before I got my braces…so he sent me to yet another dentist, who then pulled 2 teeth and just told me I needed to more pulled.I had 4 sets of x-rays done by each dentist, they all did some work, and I’m back where I started.PLEASE tell me what to do, if you can lead me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.I hate myself right now and I can’t live like this anymore ;((

Thank You!!!

Some of my teeth have started falling out, should I get them all removed and have dentures?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

I am a 48 yr old woman who has MS and due to lots of steroids over the past 19 yearsI have lost some of my bone density in my gums resulting in the ‘falling out’ of teeth. I have 4 crowns at the top front of my mouth but 1 of these rods in my gum has now broken leaving me with a protruding crown. My confidence to talk has gone & I don’t smile open mouthed anymore or if I do I cover my mouth with my hands…PLEASE HELP, as my dentist says that the only solution is to remove it and put it on a plate which I have for the loss of back teeth which I have lost but the plate is not worn as I cannot eat with it in place, and it makes me lisp. I have also asked whether it is an option to have them all removed and dentures but he has said that the teeth I have left (7 top 11 bottom) are too healthy to remove.

My new dentist tells me I should have 5 teeth removed after my crowns became damaged. What advice can you give?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Q.

i recently visited a new dentist as my previous one was too far away, i had 2 crowns before and they got damaged and fell out, when i returned to my old dentist he said they needed to be removed as the crown was not staying put. that was november and my new dentist was quite abrupt and rude and told me the 2 needed 2 be removed and another 3, 1 is a widom tooth. he told me the nhs would not pay for me to have thosands of pounds of work done and he would not treat me until the teeth had been removed. he then made a hospital appointment for this to happen under sedation. i agree the wisdom and the previous 2 need to be removed but the others im sure can be saved, otherwise it leaves me with 2 back teeth??
