How Can I Treat Chipped and Discoloured Teeth Without Using Replacements or Veneers?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
Q.

Hello. I’ve had braces and my teeth are straight, but I chips in a few of my front teeth. I also have some discolouration and towards the end of the tooth it’s almost transparent, I think this may be due to enamel wear as I drink a lot of Coke. I’m looking to get cosmetic dentistry to fix this, but what would be the best option for me to get this fixed without getting veneers or completely replacing the tooth? Thank you.

What Are The Best Options For My Chipped Teeth?

Wednesday, May 20th, 2015
Q.

I’m a 20 year old male and when I was younger I chipped my 2 front teeth, about 5-6 mm from the inner side of each tooth creating a small arch in the centre of my smile. I’m looking into the options I have to fix this. I’ve researched dental bonding and and composite veneers and would like any information on my options and what you as a professional see as the best option for me.

Thank you in advance.

Could My Tooth Be Bonded or Veneered to Align With My Other Teeth?

Tuesday, May 12th, 2015
Q.

Hi there. I have 1 front tooth that’s set back from the rest. It is next to my front two teeth to the left. I would like to know if it could be filled/built up to align with my others i.e. bonded/veneered? Sometimes on photos it looks like I don’t have a tooth there and I would like them all to look nice and full. I know a consultation will be needed in the first instance but thought I would just ask for an opinion.

Roughly, How Much Would Teeth Whitening and Veneers Cost for Me?

Monday, May 11th, 2015
Q.

Hello,

When I was 17 I got my teeth whitened and then veneers on my two front teeth.

About a year ago one of my veneers snapped and I had to get a replacement. The one my dentist put on is a totally different shade to the rest of my teeth and it’s making me really unhappy.

I was looking to get my teeth whitened again and obviously two new veneers to match the same as the rest.

Do you know roughly how much this would cost?

Am I Suitable for CEREC Treatment, and How Much Will it Cost?

Monday, May 11th, 2015
Q.

Hi, I used to have a wide gap at the front of my upper teeth, which was capped in the 1980’s. I have these 2 big teeth which are very noticeable when I smile. I’m very conscious of them, and rarely smile with my teeth showing now, only with my mouth closed. I’ve asked my dentist if I can have all my teeth at the top re-capped to look even in size, but they won’t do it. I’m thinking that I have another 12 years to work until retirement, and don’t really want to be conscious all the time. Would CEREC crowns be possible on my teeth, and how much would it cost?

Should I Be Worried About My Toothache?

Wednesday, May 6th, 2015
Q.

For a while now I have been biting my back tooth on the left hand side at the back. I went to the dentist and he said he couldn’t see anything wrong with it. I tried very hard to stop biting down as I hear a clicking noise. Tonight I bit down and I felt a sharp pain. Since then my tooth kind of aches a bit and was sensitive to touch. Should I be worried? I have a fear of the dentist. Will this stop if I leave it alone? Thank you.

Could I Be Having a Toxic Reaction to my Filling?

Tuesday, May 5th, 2015
Q.

I’ve had a dental composite filling done and have had constant headaches ever since that make me vomit and I feel slow with bad concentration and brain fog. I never had headaches or these reactions before the filling – could it be a toxic reaction to the filling? The filling has a strong plastic taste to it which I can detect but have generally been feeling very unwell since it was placed. Have you seen this kind of reaction before in patients? I have an existing immunological disease.
Thanks.

Can I Have Implants Fitted Privately and Then a Bridge and Crowns on the NHS?

Wednesday, April 29th, 2015
Q.

Dear doctor. I have no teeth in the upper jaw and only 5 teeth in the lower jaw. I am unemployed and have been told that I can get a bridge and crowns on the NHS. Would I be able to have implants fitted privately and allow the NHS to fit the bridge and crowns? My parents are willing to help me with the cost of just the implants. Please help me as I have trouble wearing dentures. And I also have quite a few medical conditions. Thank you.
