Roaccutane has damaged my teeth and teeth whitening did not work

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I’ve had some zoom whitening at £450.00 yet it didn’t do much good. Over a three year period, I had three 4 month courses of a drug called Roaccutane which, I\’ve read, can damage teeth. My teeth are quite a bad colour and are almost see through in some areas. Could this be the cause? I have been thinking about veneers for years and my teeth are in fairly decent shape but the colour has put a real dampener on my life. I am very reluctant to smile. Could you tell me if veneers would be the way to go for me and if so, how much is it likely to cost for a full mouth? Are they permanent and can you see a thin black line where they meet the gum? Also, are some veneers better quality than others? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks R Wilson

I have lost all my bottom teeth and want cosmetic dentures

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Q.
Over the last 12 months, I have lost all but 3 of my bottom teeth. I have dentures which are awful looking and ill fitting. I asked my dentist about cosmetic dentures, but am not sure he understood exactly the type I want, as he told me they would cost between £300 – £500, yet looking at internet sites they seem a lot more expensive. The type I am thinking of are the sort seen on tv shows such as 10 yrs younger. What sort of cost would I be looking at please.

my jaw is offline and I need to have it broken to re align it

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Q.
I have been told i have an offline jaw. Before i was told this i never noticed my jaw and was only worried about my teeth. Experts told me that the only way to sort this would be a 5 hour long operation, where they would break my jaw to re-aline it and then give me braces. Would veneers be a possible alternative?

Q.
My front teeth are a lot larger than all of my others. I have been to see various consultants/specialsts unsuccessfully since I was 12 (16 years).
