My Mum has gone in to premature menapause and is now suffering from receding gum disease. She already has a bridge for 70% of her top teeth that she has lost. Apparently the actual jaw bone is rotting and there is nothing for the teeth to hang on to but the teeth themselves are healthy. The remainder of her top teeth are now becoming unstable and her dentist has advised her she will loose them soon and will have to have a denture. This terrifies my Mum who is only 47 years old. Can you advise us of any treatment options to slow her condition down or alternatives to a denture? She already takes Co Q-10 and Grapeseed Oil to try and strengthen the gum tissue.

I would be so very grateful for your help.

One of my top front teeth has been knocked out completely from the root. How much will a bridge cost me to replace one tooth.,

As a guide a bridge will cost from £400 for an adhesive bridge to £1500 for a full porcelain bridge

Can a Maryland Bridge be repaired if the metal that is cemented to the surrounding teeth breaks

Unfortunately not.

I wanted to ask a question about the bridge, can it ba used to cover two missing teeth right next to each other, as Dental Implants are much more expensive than a bridge and the procedure takes a long time. I had two extractions two years ago which have left a gap on my top right hand side of my mouth. Thanks

There is no reason why you can’t have a bridge to replace 2 teeth, depending on where they are in the mouth.The most important factor is the support and strength of the teeth on either side of the gap which are going to be used to hold the bridge in place. You will need to be assessed for suitability for this procedure

n my case there are four molars involved and teeth # 3 and 6 are the bridge for molars # 4 and 5, which are missing. not too long ago the bridge of 4 and 5 began crumbling somewhat. however it is still there, and I have a question regarding this. Now is it possible to just add some filler and bonding to the bridge of # 4 and 5 to do some patch work instead of making a whole new bridge for these four teeth and how much will that cost? what is the difference betweent the price of the gold as opposse to the porcelain teeth.Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me in my specific case.

Its best not to patch up the bridge in the long-term although it might work for you for a few months. a new bridge costs from £500 per tooth

hello I had a bridge fitted 19 years ago and have nevr had a problem with..it consists of one front tooth and the 2 teeth at the side …over the years my natural front tooth has darkened and now looks a different colour to the bridge teeth…is it possible to have the one front tooth lightened to match the false tooth on the bridge…I know bridges cant be whitened, so this is my only option to have an even looking smile again….thank you for your help

Yes this works well.

I have an overgrown lower jaw. I would like to know more about the jaw-correction surgery i.e. the procedures, fees, and further information.

Hi there I am looking at prices at the moment with regards to implants or bridges for two teeth I have missing. I would be grateful if you could provide me with a price list, so I can compare prices with the dentist I am currently registered with, to see if I would be worthwhile going elsewhere to get the work done.

Help! I need a tooth extracted. My local NHS dentist took x-rays and said that the tooth was broken beneath the gum and that it was too difficult forhim to remove. He referred me to hospital. The first appointment – for an inspection – I can get is in September and I am told that treatment is likely to be about six weeks after that. Can you extract this tooth for me soonand, is so, what will be the cost?

I have been searching on the internet for a suitable dentist who specialisein dealing with nervous / embaressed patients, and I have come across yourselves. I currently have an abcess which has arisen again after a root canal 2 years ago which I am in need of repair if at all possible and also other works on my teeth as unfortunately I have not given as much considerationto my teeth as I should of and require a quite of bit of work which I hopeyou can help, KInd Regards,

Hi. I have a single tooth prosthetic porcelain bridge (upper right lateral insicor) with a single metal hinge (joined to canine tooth). The metal has snapped at the join, leaving the bulk of the hinge embedded in the next tooth, and the prosthetic completely detached. Is this likely or possible that this is serviceable/repairable, or would a whole new bridge be needed? It would seem a shame to have to completely replace. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a full replacement is needed.
