A. Thank you for sharing your situation, it is more common than you think. There are so many wonderful, deserving people but unfortunately the cost is prohibitive to providing charitable treatment to so many in need. I would suggest finding a dental school close to you and seeking care there. Usually the cost is considerably less in a teaching facility. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Can you tell me what the fastest and simplest way it is to close tooth gaps. I have them in abundance and now at 18 I know I should have got this fixed a lot sooner. I want a nice smile as soon as possible, but can you advise how I can achieve this?
A. The fastest way is some form placing tooth colored material to close the space. The two choices are: Composite bonding or porcelain veneers.

Q. I’m looking for a good dentist to provide me with a full smile make over. I have a case of severe overcrowding on my bottom jaw, my top teeth at the back are very decayed and my front teeth are chipped and have large gaps in them. I understand that there will be a lot of work to be done so should I only look for a dentist who is approved by the American dentists association? Also, how much should i expect to pay for a dentist at this standard?
A. There are many qualified dentists. Research their affiliations and credentials. Look for Accredited Members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry or if in the UK the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Look at their level of continuing education. This is usually evident on their web site. If you are in the UK, Dr. Komal Suri in Wendover, just outside of London is very qualified.

Q. Hello doctors and thank you for your time. I am planning on getting my teeth whitening but drawing nearer to the time it has also made me want to get my crooked teeth fixed. What would you recommend in order for me to accomplish this?
A. I would recommend a consultation to review your options. If you are a candidate for Invisalign you may be able to accomplish straightening and whitening at the same time. If not, many options exist to accomplish straight, white teeth. Visit our website at www.lernerlemongello.com for examples. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Are there any major health risks involved with receiving dental implants? I know there are risks with the surgery but I mean the actual implant? Will I suffer from bone loss or problems with the sedation or allergies, anything like that? I’d like to know a bit before I look into getting 2 dental implants with crowns.
A. As you are aware there is always some risk. With dental implants the surgery should be performed by a qualified surgeon, using state of the art systems and materials. Dental implants are very predictable with high success rates and very little risk of failure or other complications like you mentioned. Dr. Lemongello

Q. I am in the market for braces but I need to know how much it cost? Also, what average time of treatment?
A. Can be very simple requiring only a few months or more complicated involving a few years of treatment. Costs obviously vary and can only be determined by a consultation with the orthodontis.
