Is cosmetic bonding the best option for my teeth?

Monday, June 6th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr. Sunita Verma i just have a quick question about bonding. I am 15 years old and i just have gotten my canines replaced because i was missing my upper laterals, so they made my canines that replaced my laterals look like laterals but i still have my baby canines that have never fallen out and (they are my 3rd teeth from my centrals) and my dentist said eventually they will fall out. What would be my options if they do fall out? Also i have a minor gap in my two front teeth. What would be the cost to bond those together and make them longer? or what do you think is my best option with my situation? Thank you for your time and hopefully hear back with a response :)

My daughter’s bridge keeps falling out, what are our options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, I have a question I hope you can help with.

My daughter had her teeth adjusted by an orthodontist because some of her teeth never came in. The adjustment left a gap in her front teeth that the her dentist filled with a bonded bridge. The bridge has now fallen out 3 times over the past 4 months. Although the dentist has thus far reattached it without charge, I am sure it won’t continue and could not afford to continually have it reattached. Is this normal or should I be looking for another dentist?

What is the best treatment for my chipped tooth, veneers or lumineers?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi I have a front upper tooth chipped (a nip underneath when I was hit with a stick many years ago- only mentioning this in case you think I don’t look after my teeth) I have had it repaired with something that was bonded onto it although it still shows a hair crack line where the join is barely visible unless seen close up. Would it be better to have a veneer or a crown as regards longetivity and if so how much will it cost? Also out of interest are there any technological advances better than lumineer or other long term solutions I heard a while back in the papers that a technique was being innovated whereby a whole tooth could be re-grown somehow. Many Thanks!

I have slanted front teeth but cannot have braces because of my baby tooth.

Friday, May 27th, 2011
Q.

hi there, i just wanted some information from you. my front two teeth are slanty because i have a baby tooth which cannot be removed because my dentist said that if they put braces on me then that baby tooth may fall out because a lot of pressure will come on to it, and there is no other big tooth behind it. so i just wanted to know if you could do anything to them to make them straight?or if you can straighten my teeth and make my baby tooth look bigger? and how much would this cost? thanks

One tooth is smaller than the others, what can I do?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am 19 y.o. and I have an adult canine in the place of my right lateral incisor, where the permanent teeth is actually missing. In the place where the permanent canine should be, I still have the deciduous / baby canine. It doesn’t look too bad, although sometimes I think it looks a bit like a “vampire”. Another problem is that the deciduous tooth is always getting smaller, although it’s still healthy. What is the best to do? What are my options? I don’t wanna go through a long orthodontic tratment as I’m about to enter college. Thanks for your support!

Could cosmetic bonding help smooth my chipped veneer?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

I had a veneer six years ago to replace one that broke. The veneer looked very good when fitted colour etc, but immediately upon eating found that the bottom teeth hit the underside of the veneer. Returning to the dentist they then took away some of the back of the veneer, which made eating ok again.
Six months later after eating a piece of hard bread the tooth cracked at one side. Again returning to the dentist they smoothed down the tooth, it was now slightly shorter and rounder.
I did contact the dentist 2 years later who said they would replace it, as I preferred the original veneer, (unfortunately they couldn�t find the original mould) but thought the same thing could happen again so I decided to leave it.
However never being entirely happy with this tooth I wondered what your thoughts were, and if cosmetic bonding to fill in the slightly chipped look and to make the tooth slightly longer would work?
The tooth next to the veneer has been aligned slightly with composite bonding that was done at the same time the original veneer was fitted by the dentist.
Thank you.

What other options than braces does my 14 year old daughter have?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

my 14 yr old daughter has seen an orthodentist who has said she needs 4 extractions and then a brace. she has only minor crowding on the bottom front teeth at one side and doesn’t like her pointy canines at the top which are noticible when she smiles.the dentist said she needed the extractions to be able to line up her bite correctly. on looking at her the teeth are only a couple of mm off and not really noticible. given that her issues seem quite minor would she be able to correct the canines with veneers to achieve as nicer look without all the extractions and braces.
