New veneer is wrong colour compared to existing veneers. Can I get this put right?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hi I have four veneers, my front teeth and either side. I had one replaced a few months ago on the nhs because it had been shattered in an accident. the result is a tooth that is a different shade, a different size and a tooth that doesn’t have a glaze like the other veneers. It’s cost me £200 and made me really unhappy about my smile. I’d be happy to pay out and have them put right, but how would I choose the right dentist for the job?? I’ve lost all confidence in mine.

I have recently had crowns put in but I feel that some are bit too long, can I have them shaved down a little?

Monday, April 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I recently had four zirconia crowns placed on my upper anterior teeth, and while I love them I think the lateral ones are a little bit too long (nearly the same length as the middle ones).

I was wondering if it would be possible to have them shaved down up to about half a millimetre, or would this undermine their strength and longevity?

And if so, can you tell me approximately how much I should expect to pay for this?

Regards,

I have air pockets around my roots and teeth need replacing, can you help?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I am 42 yrs old & have the worst teeth in the world !! !I live in Leeds West Yorkshire
I worked in horse racing when I was younger & had many falls, kicks to the face & horses heads smashing into mine..a number of occasions I know my teeth suffered terribly, I believe the front teeth top & bottom on many occasions were shunted & may have over time made air pockets round the roots. But I have to say that is no excuse. I have since the age of 9/10 yrs had a phobia of brushing !! Its hard to explain, I have tried hypnotherapy but I just can not brush, floss & gargle …. My mouth hygiene is none existant !! I tried for months seeing a hygienist weekly, but I came to the point where I no longer could afford the regular treatment. Plus it was a losing battle…I have 10-12mmm airpockets & all my teeth are very loose I have even lost one now on the bottom front row. I did have lovely teeth & smile when I was younger, my mouth was over crowded & had 4 second teeth removed & 10 baby teeth..the dentist Im afraid was known for his butchery & from that treatment me & teeth …well not a happy ending !! I only wish now I had looked after them so much better ! I have gaps now, receding gums they are just awful & I never smile, I hate my picture being taken & I have no confidence talking to people, especially strangers !! They are not painful, I have a little sensitivity but not to affect me eating or drinking hot or cold foods, but at the dentist blowing cold air or water then it gets me. But saying that I no longer go to the dentist now Im too embarrased at the state of my mouth, plus my phobia also includes dentist’s…Sorry, Please dont take that personal.
Now at the age of 42 yrs its come as the hardest ever decision to make, I must get my teeth sorted,, have a proper dentistry routine looking after….???Well….. What do you think I could do ??
Me & my husband have decided a bank loan will be taken …will I have to have all my teeth removed ? Maybe a chance of implants..?? Prob not, wont have any bone ?? Iam terrified I wont lie.
Can you please help
Kindest Regards
