Would it be possible to remove my healthy remaining front tooth and get a bridge?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I have already had cosmetic surgery to help straighten my teeth, one front tooth was knocked out and then I had the three remaining front teeth shaped down for a crown, however I still am very unhappy with the way I look (I have an 8-10mm overbite, partly due to the fact my lower jaw needs to be brought forward) what I would like to know is, even though I know dentists don’t like doing it, if it would be possible to remove the remaining front tooth (as it’s the front tooth that’s causing the problem) & then replace this with a straighter bridge?,

My dentist didn’t explain what veneers were before he prepped my teeth and then I did’t want them. My teeth are now a mess. What can I have done?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
hi a few years ago i fell on ice and cracked tiny pieces off the inside outer edges of my two front teeth my dentist just stuck filling stuff in them but they kept coming loose and everytime they came out seemed to take pieces of my natural teeth with them.. he then decided i would proberley need veneers i was only 16 and didnt know what they were i thought it was some kind of brace he never explained it was a tooth cover. he had already taken of the top coat of enamel weeks before i had seen these venners that i didnt want and when i told him i still didnt want them he said it was too late because he had prepped my teeth.. so i went too a different denist and he has just coated my teeth for now with filling to protect them.. i had beautiful straight white teeth before this and now they are a total mess but still have good shape is there anything i can have done and should/could i complain thanks,

I had my teeth whitened eighteen months ago, but now they might need brightening again. Will home trays work on my veneers and crowns?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
Hello Doctor, I had my teeth whitened about 18months ago and had 2 veneers and 2 crowns put in to match the colour. I feel that they may need brightened up again but i’m afraid to do it in case they then don’t match the veneers and crowns, which I have heard will not go whiter with the whitening trays. Is this true and what can I do please?,

I have been having constant problems with mouth ulcers and it’s now causing problems at work. Can you help?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
I had mouth ulcers investigated a number of years ago. The consultant was very uncaring and said it was a vitimin deficiency. However for years now I have been suffering with fevers, swolen glands, acidic stomach, running to the toilet and swolen glands which give me sore joints and a sore throat. This is causing problems at work as my employer is fedup hearing that I am sick due to re-occuring ulcers. Can you help?,

Can I get a filling over my cornw to make it stick?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
Hi my crown of 20 years has for the past few years been coming off and won’t stick. My dentist did some work on it 10 years ago- as the previous dentist had left cotton wool in it and it used to hurt. so i don’t know if this caused the tooth to become weak. He said nothing can be done as there is no tooth there – but i was thinking of a filling over it – i think he did mention this and then could the crown not be stuk to that-as opposed to bare gum,

I have confidence issues concerning my smile and I’d love to get a full set of veneers. How much do they range from?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have a terrible smile of which I am extremely self concious. I have large gums and small teeth, many of which are still baby teeth as I didn’t develop secondary teeth. They are mainly straight and in good condition but I wonder how long they will last (I am currently 30) and if there is anything I can do to improve their look. I would love to get a full set of veneers but don’t think I could afford this – how much do they range from?,
