My teeth are a little yellow and my front tooth is chipped and broken. There is also some space between my teeth I’d like to get rid of. How much do you think this will cost me? (In California)

1000 to 1500 per tooth is common depending on where you live. You will need veneers on all four incisors. If your space problem can be corrected with Orthodontics, let that be your first option. Orthodontic treatment can cost between 3000 to 4000 or more depending on how bad the situation is. If it is a tiny space and your teeth are otherwise aligned correctly, go for veneers. Dentists usually recommend putting veneers on all six front teeth, but really the four incisors will do the job. Canines have a slightly darker shade than the incisors – you don’t need veneers on them just to match the shade.
It might be cheaper to go to a dental school nearby and get it done by a student. They are well supervised and usually provide good care.

My partner was in an accident in which his front tooth (incl root) was removed, and wants a permanent tooth put in place instead of the palette he has…would this involve getting a bridge? And if so, where in Northern Ireland would be a good place?

Yes he needs a bridge or an implant, you need to see a private dentist

I have 4 teeth that i want to have fixed, two front on top, and the two on the sides, of the front two, i have an over bite on top, and my teeth are too big, and a small space between the front two, not bad though, and i hide my smile all the time people say I am pretty, but when I smile, I feel ugly, do you also know any one who will help me pay for this in houston tx? i have dental insurance but it dont cover cosmetic stuff..

Cosmetic dental is very expensive. I would know. Visit this website

I have used them for cosmetic surgery before and they have saved me thousands of dollars. Not just from Cosmetic, but also root canals, cleanings, fillings, crowns etc. I signed up with them over 3 years ago and I am very glad I did. They had my benefits active in 2 hours and I was able to use them the same day and are extremely affordable. I know for a fact that there is coverage in the Houston market.
Good Luck, Hope this Helps

This would include straightening the teeth and making them white.

Have you had work done? If so, what did they do, and how much did it cost? Did your insurance pay for it?

If you want to make your teeth straight you have to visit a orthodontist. They will give you braces and other stuff to make then straight. To get them white you can visit a regular dentist and they can whiten them. Usually insurance will pay some of the cost but if you don’t have a good insurance then they might not. braces may cost over 1000 dollars depending on how bad your teeth are. ( hope this information helped you) good luck!

I really need to get cosmetic work done to my teeth, and I’ve heard that it’s cheaper to go out of the country.
However, I don’t want to risk compromising the quality of the result.

I would prefer answers ONLY from those who have had it done: 1) WHAT they had done, 2) the price, and 3) how they feel about the end result.

Good luck is all I got to say.
