Hi Dr Hughes,
I’m 23 years old. I wore a brace when i was younger, and still wear my retainer but am not quite happy with my teeth.
Am I too young to get 10 upper porcelain veneers? I’ve heard very mixed opinions about this. On one hand, if my teeth are quite straight then not too much grinding should need to be done but, if veneers last about 15 years in total then they will need to be replaced 3 or 4 times in my lifetime. Is this possible?
What are your opinions on this?
Thanks
hi
Please can you tell me if lumineers would bond onto existing 21 year old porcelain venners,as my dental hospital are reluctant to take my old venners off as my teeth behind them have severe bruxism damage and would probably snap if attempted. The problem seems to do with the bonding side of things. Or is there any other type that would bond.The original veneers were to close gaps in my upper front four teeth and now because of the age of them the gaps have slowly reappeared.
Thanks
hi
can you help
my boyfriend needs dental work done. he had two false teeth placed due to a fall as a teenager and now they are bad he needs two replaced but also the rest of the top set he would like either veneers to match or crowns. i need to know the difference between veneers and crowns and difference in cost also.
he may need some white fillings and the rest of the teeth whitened to match. alot of work, any idea of what this would cost and could you break it all down pricewise for me please? that would be great thank you for your time doctor moore
what is the difference between bonding and veneers?
my teeth are basically ok but have been whitened and it doesn’t make a difference . i want a whiter smile as i make public appearances.
will bonding or veneers hellp? i do not want a long tedious process like grinding down my teeth or implants.
thank you for your answer

Hi, ever since i can remember my teeth have been weak but since i had my children they have got incredibly worse, i have got to have an operation soon to have 7 of my back teeth removed and i am terrified of everything about it! especially the aftercare of my remaining teeth. I am only 22 and i feel discusting, I never smile and since suffering and constantly worrying about my appearance I have lost my confidence. I never thought my teeth could take over my life like they have, I just want to be able to concerntrate on being there for my kids. I am on benefits but don’t want to come across as a scrounge, I just want to know if i’ll be entitled to veneers or something similar if I asked my dentist.
My daughter is a professional singer and paranoid abut her teeth as she has a narrow bridge and a front tooth is slightly forward . She had veneers fitted on her front teeth but three years on it has moved again. She consulted a dentist who has told her the dentist who did her teeth has butchered them by filing so much away that a brace would damage the veneers and no new veneers can be fitted as the nerve would be damaged and the tooth die. She is distraught as her smile and mouth are her business. What can she do?
I have a crown that the tooth under the crown has darkened. This is a front tooth and in this case the gums are receding somewhat. Can a crown have a venere placed on it vice having the crown replaced when it appears to have darkened? There has been no pain resulting from this and as yet no discomfort at all. The crown is spmething over 40 years old. If the crown must be replaced can you please describe the procedure and possible complications?
Hi, I’m looking into getting cosmetic dentistry but I do not know what the best option is, my main issue is the colour of my teeth and the fact that one of my upper front tooth overlaps the one next to it due to an accident when I was younger which makes my smile lobsided and crooked. Would I need veneers or is it not possible to readjust my teeth alignment so that it does not overlap? I would prefer to keep my two front teeth as they are distinctive to me and they are not a bad shape in themselves its just the overlapping that is the issue, I definitely want veneers on my there teeth though as my canines do not match in size and the rest are also not similar in shape and size. Its really getting me down now, I am 21 and have been thinking of getting my teeth done for 7 years now.
I had veneers fitted on my 8 front teeth -upper & lower – about 18 months ago and was in severe pain for about 4 months following the procedure. Since then i’ve been ok but for the past 3 days the pain in my front tooth is causing me the same distress, constant throbbing in my teeth, sore tongue & gums, sleepless nights and back on the pain-killers! How long should I put up with this pain before i seek medical assistance from my dentist? Will the pain subside like it did after 4 months after the initial treatment? Is it possible to have root canal treatment without removing the veneer & will this get rid of the pain I am in???
