My Teeth Are Crowded And I’m Uncomfortable With The Way My Smile Looks. Should I Have Braces?

Wednesday, October 8th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Gambroudes. 12 years ago I lost an upper tooth when I was young. My other teeth came together to fill the gap but know I can’t smile in front of other people as I don’t feel comfortable with the way it looks. Now one upper tooth is too big compared to the others which are small. I think I need a gap filling through the use of braces. Can you tell me if this would help? I have never been to a dentist so I don’t know what to do really. Please provide me with information about what should I do. Thank you very much.

Are NHS crowns as bad as my dentist claims?

Q.
Hi. I have just recently been to see my dentist and have been told that I will need a crown on one of my front upper tooth (I had an apesectomy so there is no root and the tooth is very grey). However he said it would be better to go private as the NHS Crowns are not a great colour and is very noticeable in colour compared to my other teeth! I have been quoted £400 if I wanted to go private, which I can not afford as I am four months pregnant. My question being, are the NHS crowns as noticeable as my dentist says?,

Can you add a tooth to valplast partials?

Friday, April 23rd, 2010
Q.
Over the years I have been to numerous dentist, one drilled 2 screws into my gum to replace a crown with no novicaine, the other dropped an xray card down my throat with a dam over my mouth. I have valplast partials and was told that teeth cannot be added to it. It is an upper tooth that may need to be pulled. Can you add a tooth to valplast partials. Thank you,
