Hello. I have Lumineers and have had them for about 7 years. I feel like they look a little dingy and are not as white as I would like. I have heard that you can whiten the back of your natural teeth and that will help brighten your smile up. Is there any truth to this? Also how long on average do Lumineers last before needing to replace them. And do you recommend veneers over Lumineers in most cases?
Thanks for your help!
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me? I’m getting my teeth done and I wanted to check that I was paying the right amount for what I’m getting, which is the 8 upper smile for £3695 with teeth whitening of the lower teeth
6 unit bridge for £3900. It’s getting done in Newcastle and I want to make sure before I start any treatment. I haven’t seen any other dentists yet and would like to know if I can get it cheaper than this?
Thank you for your help.
Hi Marcus. I am considering having a Maryland Bridge put in because I hate wearing the flipper and I don’t want to wait a year for an implant. Is it true that the Maryland Bridge can cause my teeth to darken? How long can the Maryland bridge last with good oral hygiene?
I have already had the initial extraction and grafting done by an oral surgeon. I am now wearing the flipper but don’t like it. Hard to eat with and not easy to talk as I do lectures and training. Would the MB be a wise choice for me?
Hi, my two front teeth have a tiny gap in between them and my two canines are also slightly higher than I would like (this is due to the fact that when I was younger my canines came in while I still had my baby teeth, I had two white lumps above my teeth when they started growing and although my teeth were a bit wobbly I basically had to pull them out). Is there any way I could fix my teeth without the full metal braces? I wondered about getting an Inman aligner, however I was not sure whether it would help pull down my canines. The problems I mentioned are not severe and my teeth are not terribly high however I would like to perfect my smile. I really do not want metal braces as I am going to university soon and do not want to start off with braces. I was wondering if that doesn’t work if there is anyway to just pull my teeth down? Please help 🙂
Hi,
I’m 27 years old and hate my teeth. I’ve always had 9 teeth missing, they just never came through after my baby teeth fell out. I also have one baby tooth remaining.
I’m wondering what work would need to be done to correct my teeth? The top ones are worse than the bottom ones. It’s not like I have massive gaps between my teeth, just that they do not look aligned properly, like other peoples. Some of my teeth are different lengths or appear at different angles too.
I’m also wondering a rough cost and how long do they last for? Is it painful and would I need to get them re-done at a later date?
Recently there seems to be a gap forming between my top middle front two teeth. It’s really small at the moment but it really annoys me. I’m 21 years old and I have had braces for 2.5 years since the age of 13.
How much does it cost to fix the gap? And also what’s the best home method to whiten teeth. I heard salt water is an option, is there anything else that I could do? Thank you for answering my questions.
Hello Dr Gambroudes, I have a question for you which I hope you can help me with. Is it illegal full stop to do teeth whitening if you are not trained in dental even if the product is safe and legal and being administered by the client and they have read and agree with and have given signed consent? I have been hearing a lot of things that a non-dentist can perform teeth whitening treatments as long as the peroxide level is 0.1% or below, active or released. Your advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.
Hi I have really bad stage of gum disease and I just can’t bring myself to go to the dentist to have them removed the thought of false teeth worries the life out of me I’m not sure how I would get on with them, I already have a partial denture which I have had for three years and have never got used to it, as soon as I put them in my mouth I just gag. I have tried sucking sweets, breathing in and out slowly but I just really start to panic. The hard plastic just feels horrible, Is there any false teeth that’s made from other material to plastic. Also what price do they range from and how do I find a really good dentist I live in my area?
I went to the dentist with pain in my lower left gum area. I assumed the pain was caused by my wisdom tooth coming through. I have not had my bottom wisdom teeth removed as I have never had any issues with them. My dentist discovered the pain wasn’t caused by my wisdom tooth but by bone protruding through my gums. My dentist recommended I have the Alveoplasty procedure done. I have bone protruding my gums in two separate areas. In one of the areas I have had a tooth extraction, however in the second area I still have my teeth. I have no cavities so I would like to know if prior to having the Alveoplasty procedure being done, is tooth extraction a must or can it be done without the removal of my teeth?
I had a broken tooth that wasn’t painful or any trouble until my dentist decided to give it temporary filling whilst doing a couple of other fillings that were necessary, following this I have been in agony as it got infected. I went back and they gave me antibiotics which I have almost finished the course but am still in the same amount of pain. they have said they will just need to take it out and the only option of filling the gap they have given is dentures which is traumatising for me to even think about as I’m only 23 they have said no to bridges because both the teeth either side to the broken one are healthy. I never asked them to do anything to that tooth and now I’m in so much pain and upset with the tooth. they haven’t been very nice as they caused this and now are trying to force dentures upon me and keep saying I have no other options. I am absolutely distraught over this and I desperately want some help?
