I have a pit on my fang at the gum level abrasion cavity is veneer the only option

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
Q.
I have a pit to my ‘fang’ just below gum line, no pain, about 1mm squared, looks like just enamel has eroded. Can\’t it just be filled? Is a veneer the only option?

I had 10 veneers due to tetracycline staining should i crown then now my gums are receding

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
Hello. I had 10 Veneers 19 years ago because of Tetracycline staining. One of the veneers came off and I ate it! But the others are ok and not chipped but the gums are receding a bit. Now I am looking for advice as to whether the next step is to Crown them. My dentist says it is. (Ideally I would like implants as they sound as if they would be for life! But the cost is too great.) I am a nervous patient Can you please advise. Thank you. Kind regards.

My two front teeth overlap if i have veneers will I look like a rabbit?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
My two front teeth are overlapping and one is slightly longer than the other. As a child I had years of braces to get them as they are now – they were a lot worse!! However I have never been happy with them and recently, after plucking up the courage, asked advice from my dentist as to whether veneers might be an option. He said that he wasn’t happy to fiddle with teeth that were healthy and that if I had veneers i might look like a rabbit. No other advice was given. Are there other options?

I have turned 40 and need to do something about my smile

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
I’ve recently turned 40 – yuk – and decided to do something about my smile. I have a crown on the tooth next to my upper canine which is now more yellow than white and two veneers on the bottom front centre teeth which “wrap” over the top of the teeth to make them slightly longer, similarly they are slightly discoloured. I have previously whitened my teeth which looked wonderful except for the crown and veneers! I have since then tried to “top up” the effect because I am a smoker and drink a lot of tea and over the years my teeth have lost the whiteness again.

I was told to re-do the home whitening and did so – this time I developed some white spots on two teeth, a recent visit to a different dentist revealed that the home system I was using is fairly ineffectual and old technology – I had to use it overnight and my teeth had become sensitized. I am now using the home system by Zoom called “Day White” at a 9.5% strength for an hour a day to try and restore the former whiteness.

My two top centre teeth have had composite work done to fill an existing gap when I was 20 and the mid-line is slightly off. I would like a brighter smile and whiter teeth and after much research believe that veneers are the best way to achieve this (obviously I also need to replace the existing crown). I’ve been interested to read about your “one-day” onsite smile makeover and although I can see the benefit in having an onsite technician who can exactly match the veneers to the patient, am interested to know whether veneers created in this way are as good, quality and durability wise, as the more usual veneers one has to wait a number of weeks for. I was recently told that German and American labs produce far better quality – is this true? L

I have a crooked smile and want a quick solution as I am getting married

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have over-crowding in my top teeth (and lack of space for movement) which has resulted in a crooked smile. The front teeth are fine, its just the ones that are next to them. I want to get married soon and I’m looking for a quick soultion. I’ve previously started treatment but honestly do not like the dentistry experience!!

I have mild over crowding and want to straighten one tooth

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have mildly overcrowded teeth on my upper and lower jaw. One of my lateral incisors (the tooth next my right front tooth) has become crooked and partly pushed behind my right central incisor (front tooth). In photos this gives the appearance that I have a gap in my teeth and is making me feel self conscious about my smile. I don\’t want braces and just want to straighten this one tooth out – or improve it’s appearance in some way. I’m totally happy with the rest of my teeth. Could veneers help me or is the only way to go braces? Do you have any idea how much treating this one tooth might cost? Thanks for your time!

composite veneers or porcleain veneers on bottom teeth?

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Q.
I had some porcelain veneers done 4yrs ago on my top front teeth, which still look like new now. I went to see my new dentist at same practice to enquire about porcelain veneers for bottom teeth, but was informed that I wouldn’t be able to have them so was told I would have to have composite veneers. I had them done just prior to xmas 2007 and already the composite on 2 are badly worn. I was informed procedure would take approx 30mins per tooth, yet I had 6 done in 90mins! I would appreciate your views and advice on this matter. Have I been misinformed? If so, is there anything I can do about it?
