Would it be possible to have a dental bridge?

Friday, November 9th, 2012
Q.

Hi,

I had my second molar tooth extracted last year. My dentist told me I would have to wait a year before I would be able to have a replacement tooth fitted. I am enquiring about bridges as I really want one fitted because I am worried my teeth might start to separate and I also have difficulty eating on that side of my mouth. I have researched a bit into bridges, but only the third molar tooth next to the gap is healthy, the first molar has a root canal and large filling in place. Is it still possible to have a bridge fitted? I don’t really want implant surgery because I don’t like the idea of nerve damage and dentures sound horrible.

Thanks for any help and advice that you can offer me and I am looking forward to your reply.

Are braces safe for me to have?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi Doc,

I am in the process of having braces. My lower left premolar has been removed. Today my upper left pre-molar has been removed. However while removing this, my tooth got broke and a small piece has been left in the root itself. My doctor said it is not a problem. He also said if i have to get it removed I will have to go through a minor surgery. So I want to know whether ignoring that can I go ahead with my braces. Will I be able to go for braces keeping that there in the first place. If i have to undergo surgery what are the risks involved? Is it a common problem or a rare risky occurrence?

Thank you for your time and support.

Can I get a dental implant to replace my tooth?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012
Q.

Hey Dr Mark Hughes,

I am 23 years old and have a fang above my left tooth which I’ve had for about 8-9 years. The tooth underneath I believe is still a baby tooth that got jammed and didn’t come out. I haven’t been to the dentist for about 6 years but when I went the last time I refused to get my bottom tooth taken out as I didn’t want to have the gap. I am now looking to put this right but still feel the same way.

I wanted to see if it would be possible to get them both removed and a dental implant put in afterwards? If so would it be a costly procedure?

Thank you very much for your time, it is very kind of you.

John.

Should I have my tooth extracted by an NHS dentist or see if it can be saved by a specialist?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

I have a root canal that has failed and my NHS dentist has advised I can have the tooth removed on the NHS or see a specialist who will advise if it can be saved, the cost of which I would have to pay for as a private patient. The root canal was an NHS treatment originally, do I have any recourse for action as this has failed with the original dentist?? What is the likely cost of specialist treatment and what are the alternative options like an implant rather than paying for the cost of trying to save the tooth??

My dentist suggested that I have a plate form implant, are there any alternative options for me?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I have recently knocked my front tooth, which is a crown and managed to damage the root! My dentist has recommend I have the tooth removed and replaced with a plate with one tooth .Is it necessary to have to have a plate? I am horrified by this suggestion and wondered if I could have a bridge instead? I have discussed an implant, but many of my friends have had all their front teeth bridged and feel it is the better option. I really don’t fancy the surgery that goes with the plate. My teeth either side of this crown are okay,I would appreciate your recommendation before I have this tooth removed. Thank you.

What ways are there other than braces to fill tooth gaps?

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012
Q.

HI, i had a tooth extracted from each side of my mouth, these were different teeth of either side. I have had braces on for over 18 months now, and the gaps have are not closed, one the one side the gap is quite significant. I am a dancer, so having good teeth are quite important as i can’t work with the braces on. My orthodontist says that the gap is going to take a long time to close, but i cant have the braces on for any longer. My dentist is wondering why my orthodontist took my teeth out in the first place. so i was wondering if there was any way of filling the gaps on both sides, one side is larger than the other. I dot mind what happens as long as it isnt orthodontics, because i need a fast solution and have had braces on for long enough . Thanks 🙂

Would facial symmetry be ruined by removing canine tooth?

Monday, July 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I am 24 years old and interested in correcting my teeth. I have had braces before (when i was around 15-16, for a year), however, my teeth aren’t aligned properly. I don’t have an overbite or under bite.One of my lower central incisors is crooked.So the bottom 4 incisors arent in a proper order.My bottom canines are big and closer to the incisors than the molars.Also, my upper 6 teeth are a bit huge.

My dentist said that i have a good profile and don’t need braces for my upper teeth, but i will need to extract the C1 lateral incisor from my lower teeth (to avoid crowding) and have braces added. Apart from this extraction, 2 wisdom teeth need to be removed as well.

My question is : wouldn’t there be no symmetry since only one tooth is being removed and also wouldn’t there be a gap between my lower incisors? Would you suggest a similar treatment? your thoughts please and thanks in advance.
