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.
I have a condition called osteopenia and have noticed recently that my teeth are thining. As a result one of my front teeth has broken and I have been advised I require a veneer. I am aware there are a number of types of veneers on the market and am unsure which would be best for me. I am concerned by traditional veneer method of shaving tooth in preparation as my front teeth are so thin. Can you advise. I am based in Glasgow.
I am a 1st dental student at leeds and we have a project named ‘cosmetic dentistry what is it and should it be allowed on the NHS?’ I have looked through my usual resources (i.e. medline) and found very little concerning the ethical problems of cosmetics on the NHS. Would be able to help me? do you have and ideas where i may get some information from?
I was wondering would you be willing to give me essentially what is a fang implant ? my canines are quite dull and blunt and want them to look sharper and a bit longer

My two front teeth have chips in them and it looks horrible, is there any posibility you can have this done on the nhs.

Dr Hughes,
Forgive me for the long email but I have a few things I would like to ask. My first thing to explain is that I am a very nervous person when it comes to going to the dentist and due to this I have not been in a long time and have only visited a dentist a few times when needed. My parents never explained to me or kept up with my oral hygiene as a child and to complicate further I had a bad experience early on in life with a Dr who extracted two of my teeth (on my parents orders) and left me in pain for what seemed weeks. I am now 30 years old and I am a semi professional golfer trying to break into the industry at any level, but ideally at a professional teaching standard. Unfortunately the industry is still very fickle and stuffy. I have been for a number of jobs and have never been offered a position despite my achievements. I heard from a friend of mine at one golf club that the person who interviewed me wrote me off within thirty seconds of me introducing myself due to my teeth, apparently the members would’ not take to me’. I get very upset by this and my confidence is at an all time low. Its not just golf, trying to get a girlfriend is a nightmare, I never smile in photos and dodge all customers in my current job. I know my teeth are bad, I have two half missing front teeth and some are out of align, all are discoloured heavily and my back teeth, most of which have cavities, leave me in severe pain most days. I have seen television programs and have heard the quotes some people pay for cosmetic services, they are WAY out of my league for my earnings and the NHS will only offer single tooth cosmetic surgery. I feel I need my whole mouth looking at! I’m at a complete loss as to what to do, I don’t like going to the NHS as I feel they rush procedures and are not willing to take time with nervous patients. I also would like time to be on my side and get my smile back up and running in 4-6 months, if not a lot sooner, so I do not waste my golf career away. Do you have any ideas as to how I can get my smile back to what it should be, whether there is anything you or your colleagues can offer within my price range, or if you know of any NHS Dr s that will provide a good result in a short space of time whilst dealing with my concerns.
after suffering bullimia for a long time my teeth have really suffered,im happy and healthy but my teeth are starting to rule my life,i dont smile in fear of people seeing my teeth and i have started to put my hand over my mouth when i speak. I am 35 with 4beautifull children who are my main concern so finding the money for cosmetic work is unrealistic,is there anywhere that trains cosmetic dentists which offers low cost work? i very much look forward to hearing from you.
