My front teeth Are crowned due to an accident in primary school, I am now 40, would I be able to get braces?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Q.

my top front teeth are crowned due to an accident in y primary school years. I have a overbite (pretty large one) and I have never asked a dentist if i could use a brace to help the look it has made. I am now 40years and pay private (monthly plan). I see adults wearing a brace and it will not bother me at all to wear one. I was going to have 1 fitted when I was younger but my accident must have made it impossible as they needed caps and then crowns. Now though maybe there is a way around this problem?

Do veneers feel different from real teeth and are they bigger?

Monday, January 24th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Solanki,
I am 28 from Runcorn and I have been considering porcelain veneers for some time but I have a few reservations, I wonder if you could give any advice.
My teeth are quite large to begin with, my question is do porcelain veneers have to be made bigger than your natural teeth? I wouldnt want my teeth to be any larger as I dont think it would look right on me.
Also do you think veneers can look like natural teeth? Im a bit worried about them looking obviously fake. And do the temporary ones look ok?
Finally do you offer any finance options at all at your practice to spread the cost? I am sorry to bombard you with questions!! Many thanks for your time and any advice you can give,

A.
Veneers are like a false finge… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I’ve had a crown fitted and my bite is uncomfortable, would another dentist reshape or redo it?

Monday, January 24th, 2011
Q.

Hi doctor,
I had a crown put onto my teeth after a root canal treatment. However, I feel that it isn’t placed right and my bite feels different and uncomfortable. I want to know if I can go to another dentist and ask him/her to reshape it to make my bite feel more comfortable. My question is, will the crown be taken off and then put back on or will the doctor simply just reshape it using the burr? Also, would i need anesthesia for this procedure?

A.
The crown will more than likel… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My top jaw hurts and I have crooked teeth, what treatment do you advise?

Friday, January 21st, 2011
Q.

I am 32 year old female. My teeth are extremely crooked, yellow and worn down because of grinding. I often have pain in my top jaw. Will I have to have braces or what else can be done. I do not like the idea of a bridge because I feel that plaque can still easily get under the bridge and the less apparatus I have in my mouth the better.

Please assist me? Thank you in advance.
