My smile if off-centred, will veneers help?

Thursday, February 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello! I have wanted a smile makeover for a while now. My teeth are healthy (I’m 28) but I have a tooth missing – the one next to my front tooth. The gap has closed as my mouth is crowded but my smile is lobsided and the middle of my front teeth doesn’t line up with the middle of my lip! Are there any procedures you recommend? Or any practices? I live in the North West. Thank you.

Can you reshape a gold crown?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Q.

I recently got a gold alloy crown fitted on one of my tooth. When closing the jaw, it wasn’t very comfortable as the crown was too high. So the dentist used one of the instruments to heat the top of the crown and adjust the height.

On returning home, the surface of the crown looks smooth on the sides but on the top it looks rough which I guess is due to manual adjustment.

My understanding was that the height of the tooth is reduced so that the crown fits over it and is in level with the neighbouring teeth.

My concern is that heating the top of the crown might have created a tiny microscopic hole that might over time lead to bacteria seeping in.

Is it common procedure to reshape the gold crowns?

Can the aesthetics of my teeth be improved by veneers?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I’m not that unhappy with my teeth, just know they could be better. I have one tooth which is slightly bent in at the front, pushed in by the fang tooth as I call it! Could a veneer for this 1 or 2 teeth be possible? what sort of price would this be and would they be the same colour as my other teeth, which are quite white? thanks

Should I replace two front teeth with veneers to straighten my smile?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Q.

I am 20 years old I have a very crowded mouth and have had quite a few teeth out in the past and I had a brace when I was in high school, at the time my dentist said my teeth would never be perfectly straight from a brace, they have moved quite alot since having the brace out and my bite is a very triangular shape, I work in the hairdressing industry and my teeth have always got me down and even more so now. Is it worth replacing my front two teeth with veneers, can this work even with a crowded mouth? thanks for your time.
