Q. I have booked an appointment with you to get some advice about what to do with my old bonding on the front of my two front teeth.I think I would want them rebonded as it has lasted me 20 years its now looking old and worn and I think it needs improving.(Its to close the gap diastema)Reading this website it advises to go to a dentist who is really artistic in this area of cosmetic dentistry.When you click on the website to see which dentist does it in my area yours doesnt come up so I am not sure if you really offer this. Also If you do I was wondering whether you use hfo enamel plus material as I am told it is really strong. The reason why I am asking lots of questions is because I am quite scared of getting it redone and I want to improve the look of my teeth.please can you let me know so I have time to cancel the appointment if I need to. Thankyou.
A. Hi
We do carry out cosmetic bonding.It is what I would class as routine dentistry. We do not use HFO. We use gradia, which I feel give better results. We carry out this type of pocedure on a daily basis.
I hope this helps.

Q. Hi there. I have recently chipped one of my front teeth. I do not wish to get it filed down as my other front tooth is a crown, and this would only make the crown look bigger! Is it possible to have tooth bonding on this front tooth? It is a small thin chip, and only noticable up close. If so does this need to be done privately or can it be carried out on the NHS? thank you for your time
A. hi if this is purely cosmetic which it sounds like it will be a private treatment . if it is a tiny sliver bonding does not always work but is worth a go if it bothers you

Q. I have a gap between two of my front teeth and i was wondering what kind of treatment i could get in order to close the gap. I was researching about tooth bonding and just wanted to ask if you thought that would be the best thing to do in order to close the gap?
A. You would need an assesment to tell the best option for you. Bonding, Veneers & Orthodontics are all possibilities to explore.
The time taken , costs, and stability of the end result are points to consider.
We offer a free initial assesment to help point you in the right direction. Call Amy for details 0121 643 0610.

Q. Hiya, im 21 and have recently noticed that my lower jaw goes to right. I never really noticed it until it was mentioned to me about 6 months ago. I have tried looking on the net but all i can find is info on overbites, and nothing regarding anyone with there jaw going to the right. Best regards
A. This can be caused by asymmetirical growth of your jaw sometimes caused by trauma at a young age. If your teeth fit together corectly, the upper teeth being on the outside of the lower teeth the chin can be reshaped to improve the appearance by a plastic surgeon. I the teth do not fit together properly you may be able to have youtr jaw broken and repositioned correctly.

Q. Hi Dr. Moore, I,ve heard of a new type of expandable jaw retainer that you wear behind your teeth to widen a narrow smile. I’m very interested in learning more about this, but I’m having trouble finding any info on it. Is it just too new right now? If you know anything about this, I’ll take all the info/suggestions you have. How long do you think it would have to stay on? How much would it cost? What’s it called? Could any Dentist/Ortho do it? Also, are ALL dentist’s considered cosmetic dentist’s or should I look for one that specailizes in it. Thank You.
A. You should look for a dentist with experience in the field you are thinking of. These braces are a very traditional design and not new at all. Find a local Orthodontist and ask them for a consultation to see if its suitable.

Q. Dr. Tennet I have crown on one my upper molars-the problem is! It was put on 1998, with very little tooth to mount it to. Over the last few years, there has been serious gum receding-you can see the gray dentin—a new crown in not an option due to little tooth left. Can my dentist put sne comp. resin or bonding over the area expose to protect it and to make it look better cosmetically. Thank you for you time.(age 41)
A. in some cases you can but an opaque resin is needed to block out the darker colour. Rob

Q. Hello Doctor… How are you?? I have questions about the composite fillings , What are the common mistakes that could happen during the procedure of a composite filling ?? and why these mistakes could happen ? Thanks alot doctor Wish you the best
A. I am fine- back from holiday! thank you for asking. Dentists are highly trained and there are no real common mistakes – failure to remove all the decay , over preparation, poor bonding technique, poor moisture control ETC but these are unusual. Hope your filling is successful

Q. Hi I am thinking about having some dental bonding treatment carried out on 1 or 2 of my front upper teeth I have been very lucky until now I have never had any major teeth problems since i was 7 years old I have one upper front tooth thats starting to go a bit decayed near the gum line area and has cracked a bit as a result Would dental bonding fix this? I was considering having a crown but the tooth is pretty healthy besides a small bit of decay near the gum line How much would dental bonding cost per tooth? And is there any major side effects? I am aware that the NHS don`t provide any cosmetic treatment Could an NHS dentist do the bonding if i pay private Man
A. If the decay is minor there should be no need to go for an aggressive treatment such as a crown.
Cosmetic bonding usually costs £100-150 and would seem to be the best option for you

Q. Can porcelain bonded to precious metal permanent bridges be whitened? If so how is the precedure done? How long will the whitening last? What is the approximate cost? And are there any over the counter products that you can recommend that can assist in maintaining this type of whitened teeth for permanent bridges between dentist visits?
A. Unfortunately the only way to change the colour is to have the bridges remade

Q. Hi, I am under 18 years of age, and I have a gap in between my teeth; this maybe due to the piece of skin attatched in between it, I believe its called a frenum or frenulum. I would like to have bonding to fix the gap, would this be free under the NHS? And if I was to have the piece of skin cut if I decide not to have bonding, will this get rid of my gap? Thankyou
A. Removing the skin will help to prevent the gap re-occurring but will not cause spontaneous closure.
Bonding between the teeth should be available on the NHS, I would recommend you seek someone with some cosmetic training to give you the best results possible.

Q. This is with regard to the loss of confidence. How does one manages the fear of losing a veneer, crown or bonding while having a meeting or doing an important presentation? Will there be tell-tale signs before a veneer, crown or bonding falls out? The fear to eat in case of damaging the veneer, crown and bonding also affects quality of life. Can you provide your thoughts and reassurance please? Thank you.
A. I can’t really tell you not to worry because these things can happen, albeit only rarely. My advice would be to eat normally but avoid sticky or crunchy foods on your front teeth especially just before an important meeting/occasion. Once you’ve had them a while your confidence will build and i’m sure you’ll feel happier

Q. My teeth have over the past few months become very thin looking and almost transparent looking and people have mentioned they look this way. I was wondering if anything could be done about this and how much it would likely cost at an NHS dentist.
A. Your thin teeth ar due to either acid erosion or a physical wear problem. The dagnosis needs to be made first. Following this bonding, venering or corwning may be required .

Q. I had a small 1mm gap in my upper two front teeth filled with composite bonding a year ago. The results are great, and it looks really natural. However, I have recently decided to investigate braces as I have come to the conclusion that i would like to straighten my teeth. With this in mind, i would like my dentist to remove the composite bonding, so that a brace can be used to close the gap permanently. First, can composite bonding be removed easily? My dentist did the filling so well, it seems impossible to tell which is tooth and which is bonding? So, is it possible to remove it? And will the underlying tooth look normal? Also, when the filling was done, the bonding was polished and i can see a less shiny surface on some of the surface of my teeth. I will ask the dentist to polish this after the gap is revealed again, but If some bonding remains, does this effect how well fixed brace brackets would stay on? Also, when the brackets are removed at the end of treatment, would the bonding have stained, is this permanent, or would polising after the brackets are removed get rid of it? Thank you for your time.
A. hi
it should be quite easy to remove the composite filling without any underlying teeth being damaged with no effect on bonding in future and no compromise to your bracework.

Q. Hi, I left my former dentist after she refused to bond a gap between my front teeth. She said that the hole was too large and by bonding it, my teeth would look extra big. I respected her decision but still wanted the gap bonded. I went to another dentist who bonded the gap, and started going to him regularly for a year. This dentist told me that I had a suspicious dark spot on my dental x-ray and referred me to an endodontics. Instead of seeing the endodontist, I went back to my former dentist and he was really rude to me. He told me that if I went to another dentist he would not see me again. Plus, while he was treating me, he hurt my mouth over and over again and when I would flinch or moan be told me that I was over reacting and that everything hurt me! This made me angry but I did not say anything. I kept thinking that as soon as I get out of this chair, I won’t come back! Why do you think he was so rude to me? Was it not my decision to seek another dentist after he would not bond my gap. By the way, the bonding looks great! Thanks
A. I am sorry you had such a bad experience my advice would be to find a dentist you trust and feel comfortable with. I am glad your happy with the bonding.

Q. I had my 2 front teeth bonded (for a small space and a little chip on one front tooth) a year ago and was told it doesn’t need any special care and can be cleaned normally by the dental hygenist every 6 months (which it has been), but I have recently read (online) that a dental hygenist should use different instruments/pastes/techniques when cleaning bonded teeth in order not to damage the bonding. Is this true? I actually have noticed less shine on my bonding (I can see where the bonding is when looking in a ceratin light) and wondered about the cause and what can be done about it. Also, I was wondering, is there more of a chance a cavity can form around a bonded tooth? I would really appreciate information about all this, thanks!
A. Gentle cleaning by the hygenist is important so as not to roughen the filling surface. Careful flossing by you is important because the unnaturally wide tooth will have an increased chance of food trapping. This can cause localised gum disease and decay if left
