My Teeth are Very Small and Weak. What is the Best Treatment for Me?

Wednesday, September 10th, 2014
Q.

Good afternoon Dr Gambroudes, please give me some advice. I have very small teeth, they are very weak and brittle. They are also discoloured. Also, I have an overbite and gaps between all my teeth. What treatment would fix my teeth? And how much would it cost roughly? Also, if I need to wear braces, which ones would I need? You see, my current dentist said I cannot wear traditional metal braces due to my teeth being so weak, so it could damage them. Would crowns or veneers cover my overbite and give me bigger teeth with no gaps between them? I really need help as my teeth are my biggest insecurity and flaw. Thank you in advance.

I Have A Maternity Exemption Card. Will I Be Able To Get Dental Crowns Fitted For Free?

Thursday, August 14th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My 4 front teeth are becoming thin as my enamel is wearing away which makes me insecure but also makes my teeth really sensitive. I have a maternity exemption card. If I ask my dentist to fit the crowns will I get this for free or do they have the final decision as to whether I need them or not? Or also are dental crowns the best solution or would veneers help me? Would love some advice so I can go to the dentist with a bit of information.

Thanks.

I Can’t Afford To Get My Veneers. Do You Know If I Could Get A Dental Student To Do This For Me?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I need 8 veneers but cannot afford the 3000 pounds it costs to get them. Do you know where can I get help and whether a student dentist could do them? My top 8 teeth are rotting away, this is due to not taking care of them and it’s also because my family have all had weak teeth. I have lost most of my confidence due to this. I am now 43 years old and I know I would find it much easier to talk to women as when I smile I do it with my mouth shut. Thank you for your time in advance.

I Would Like A Completely New Celebrity Smile. My Teeth Are Weak And I’d Like To Know Which Treatments To Have?

Friday, January 31st, 2014
Q.

Hey! Hope you are well.
Firstly – good idea with this “ask an expert” thing. Anyway, I want to make my teeth go away. I’d like all of them removed, and to have a new smile – basically. I want to have a teeth like the celebrities have.
My problem is that my teeth look nice, it’s not a bad smile, but they are very weak, and in the back, I don’t have half of my teeth, because they are broken. So I want to make new ones – fake, so I won’t have to care about it later…How much would it cost? To make all new, white, nice teeth?

My Teeth Were Weakened By Braces When I Was Young. Is There Any Chance I Would Be Entitled To NHS Implants?

Friday, January 17th, 2014
Q.

I am 27 and when I was a child I had fixed braces and because they were left on for too long they made my teeth week and when I had to get them removed as half the front enamel came off. Since then going into adult life has been an uphill struggle, I now only have 6 teeth left in my mouth and am forced to wear a denture which I find really hurting. I can’t even wear my bottle one as its too painful with this information would I be entitled to free dental implants on the NHS. Having no teeth really hurts and I wish I could do more but I feel at times I don’t want to smile cause I know my teeth are gone and I don’t have the confidence I once had. I’d really like your advice.

Can You Help Me Plan The Best Course Of Treatment For My Weakened, Decayed Teeth?

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013
Q.

Dear Dr.,

I have several issues, my front teeth are severely decayed and broken this has just added to the other issue. I had a car accident while in the Royal Navy and have been a wheelchair user for 10+ years which means I struggle to carry and pick things up. I without really thinking about it carry stuff in my teeth or drag at a sleeve etc. with my teeth really wearing them down. Essential I’ve been left with a mouth that looks like a cemetery with lots of broken tombstone. Due to the injuries I received I’ve been on major painkillers for sometime that usually means I struggle to get any relief from normal drugs a dentist uses. My teeth have got to the point where I’m surprised when they don’t hurt.

I’ve saved some money which I don’t want to flush away with the wrong treatment.

Please help
