I have a unsightly smile missing teeth broken teeth and want to smile again

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Q.
I have the most unsightly smile ever, i am 35 years old and have had this problem for a few years. I could not tell you when i was last able to smile as I really don\’t remember. i have 9 missing teeth and 4 broken teeth, all the broken teeth are at the front of my mouth (my smile teeth) and it is so embarrassing. The worst thing is i have always brushed my teeth, i don\’t eat sweets, i don\’t drink fizzy drinks, yet my teeth look like this. I am far to afraid of dentists to even go there, this i have tried on many occasions but every time i get to the dentists chair i make my excuses and leave. I would love to be able to smile again, but i know that i would not be able to afford it in this lifetime, how could i ever be able to smile again??

Front teeth fractured in Africa my NHS veneers fallen off

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Q.
Hi Dr. Suri, I am a 42 year old woman who due to a road traffic accident 18 years ago in Africa, had my front teeth fractured and weakened. About 3 years ago an NHS dentist was kind enough to restore my smile and began the long and scary process of vaneers, for which I was very grateful. Unfortuantly my vaneers are constantly falling off and breaking. It has now got to the point where I do not know where to turn next as I\’m constantly driving an hours drive back and forth to fix a tooth only to be back in the dentists chair within weeks. I can see this is not going to get sorted out as I have tried to talk to the NHS dentist who obviously can only work within the NHS guidelines and budget! As I type this to you I have awful tooth ache as a vaneer has come off once again and I can only be seen mid July for a consultation ONLY! If you have any advice that you could give me to end this nightmare I would be very much appreciative. Hope you can help?!!

I chipped my front tooth and several crowns have fallen off the stump

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Q.
Hi there, I chipped my front tooth some years ago and after various crowns falling off the ‘stump’ that was left, the stump rotted completely and was removed. It was replaced with a metal rod to which a crown veneer (?) is now attached. I am happy with the appearance of the tooth but the gum above the tooth has got progressively more discoloured over the years. I am concerned about this as I haven’t heard that this is normal and it is understandably bothering me as it is my front tooth and so visible to others. My NHS dentist informed me that the grey was in fact the top of the metal peg showing but I’m not sure if I believe this as the gum actually looks grey. Furthermore, i’m sure that it has changed colour- going from a pale grey to a darker grey over the past few years. My dentist also informed me that I was being too aggressve with my teeth brushing and that the reason you could see grey was because I had brushed the gum back and that I should stick to a more gentle, circular cleaning motion in order to reshape the gum. I tried this over a period of several months- in fact I am still following his advice, but I can see no change. I want to know whether this is a problem you have encountered before? And if there would be any cosmetic dentistry service available to remedy it?

How much would lumineers cost on my discoloured front teeth

Monday, June 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hey, when I was at school i fell on my front two teeth. They went very discoloured and had to have root canal treatment. After i had my braces off i had them bleached. They look ok but they are still discoloured epsecially near the top and i really do not like it. As being at university i havent exactly got lots of money. however my 21st birthday is coming up and depending on price i was wondering how much lumineers would be. Also i was wondering can you have just the two front teeth done, would they match or just look weird? Also the two front teeth are really fragile, my dentist expected them to snap after a few years but they seem to have been fine. Would that matter to what treatment i would need. Would it be best to get false ones? How would this work? Sorry its so long. Thankyou for your help.

I has a fall and cracked my front teeth will veneers be suitable

Monday, June 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hello, I hope you can advise me on this. I am very upset and disappointed because i had fixed braces removed last year with good results. Unfortunately following a nasty fall my front two teeth are now cracked and one of them has a chip in it. I am really sad as i didnt want to go down the veneers route, however i must fix this as its really getting me down! I am going to just have to accept the fact that i need to pay to sort it out. What i’d like to know is, is it possible to have veneers placed on just the front two, or front four upper teeth? or would this look odd compared to the rest? my teeth are very straight so it is my hope that they would not need to be shaved down very much. Basically i want to replicate my natural teeth. Do u think that veneers can look natural? many thanks for your time and advice.

My dentist was very rude I have cavities and chipped teeth

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008
Q.
Hi there, I’m 24 and have got problems with my teeth that really bring me down. I have several teeth with cavities and which have chipped. I’ve not been registered with a dentist in a while as I’ve moved houses a few times in the past 10 years. I recently registered with a local dentist and visited with the intention to finally sort out my teeth regardless of the cost, I really wanted to save all, if possible of my teeth. The dentist was extremely rude and demanded that he pulled out all of my chewing teeth (molars) on one side as well as a few of my 1st and 2nd molars which I was uncomfortable with, I asked whether he could save them which he was very unwilling to do as it would be expensive (which I didn’t mind) and he didn’t want to do as its time consuming. Besides this he got aggressive and very rude because I was quite determined to keep my teeth. I understand he is an expert but don’t feel he was being fair as he was thinking of saving his own time rather than my needs. I am very upset about the state of my teeth as I feel they are extremely important to me, also I’m getting pain on my gum which I feel could well be an abscess. It hurt about a year ago and seems to have come back and can be quite intense. What would you say is the best option for me? I just feel extremely embarrassed about my teeth and feel very let down. I’m lost as to what to do as if I was to approach another dentist I would be very embarrassed. Any help would be very much appreciated.
