I have a small black gap between my teeth do i need teeth whitening I also have wonky teeth

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi, i was considering getting my teeth whitened, they’re not too bad but I would like to have just normal teeth, but also I have a small black gap in between two of my teeth but i I dont know what I would need to do to sort it out, and also I have one tooth which is wonky and sticks out a bit. so im not sure what exactly it is that I need to get done so I can have “normal” teeth. Would it be possible for me to send in a photo, so you can see exactly whats wrong with my teeth and perhaps make a suggestion on what I should do, for example, whitening, veneers etc. Thanks R

Can a crown be used to fix a chipped tooth that sticks out ?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
I am considering having a crown procedure performed but my problem is a little complicated; I chipped the outer side of the my left front tooth when I was 10 years old and the dentist just did a crap job in repairing it. I\’m 29 now, hate my smile because my tooth is still chipped slightly and it shows but the problem is that it sticks outwards at a slight angle so a crown would not appear to fix the problem. Can you advise? N
