Hello, I have a full set of upper dentures, but I will soon need a bottom set too. This means I will have to have a new set of upper ones too. When you have both dentures fitted at the same time, do you only pay the band 3 price once, or would I have to pay double because I will be having 2 dentures?

How can you stop deterioration of the gums and loosening of teeth despite cleaning appropriately and using Corsodyl, as recommended by my dentist? Is it simply a case that this deterioration is a sympton of getting older? Are there better mouthwashes than Corsodyl? Are there better gels than Gengigel?

I have got two canine teeth which I really don't like due to their pointed shape. I feel it gives me a serious smile. This is why, I prefer to stay serious all the time to hide my ugly smile. I wonder if these two teeth can be changed in shape to look straight like normal teeth. I would like to know the cost if possible. Thank you

I am 30 years old and have had a porcelain crown on my second last bottom molar since my early teens. The gum has slowly receded over time so you can see silver around the porcelain, now I can see some of the original tooth where the gum has receded. I was prompted to look because the gum felt a bit tender when I was brushing. Is this bad??
