How good are over the counter whitening treatments in comparison to whitening from a dentist?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Rob,
I would like just a little advice on the best route for 2 issues. I drink quite a lot of coffee and my teeth are an ’0ff-white- colour. I would really like a gleaming white smile now and wondered what the best way would be to achieve it? About a year or so ago I purchased Dr George’s Dental White, but have only used on a few occasions as im very sceptical of any damage? Is this a good product? I have also just recently purchased the Transformulas professional whitening kit, and after a few appliances it does ‘appear’ to have made a difference. Is professional surgery really the only way to achieve my goal, or are these products worthwhile?
I also have a very slight gap between my top front two teeth and would like this closed, any advice also would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time

Should I go to a dentist or orthodontist to close my tooth gap?

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011
Q.

Hello

I have been considering getting invisalign for a while now and have decided to finally go for it. Briefly, my history is that i have a natural gap between my two front teeth as well as quite widely spaced lower teetth. The gap between the front teeth was covered up by veneers done by my dentist, who was not a cosmetic specialist. A few years later i’m not 100% happy with my teeth particularly the size of the veneers as well as the gaps and protrusion. I’ve been to see an orthodontist as well as an invisalign specialist / cosmetic dentist. Orthodontist thinks fixed braces are best and the specialist says invisalign will solve the issue. I am torn between going with the orthodontist or dentist. Invisalign is my preference, and my question is whether orthodontic experience should be a pre-requisite in the person i choose.
Thanks

My brace was removed too early and now I have gaps between my teeth, what can I do?

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
Q.

Dear Mr Hughes,

I wore a brace when I was younger, but regrettably had it removed too early. I now have a few gaps, and I think some movement occurring. Although the top set are relatively straight, when I look at pictures of me smiling it looks crooked. Almost like my teeth are not in their correct, central position. Also on about 6 teeth my gums have receded and exposed the dentine, which is now brown. I am totally self-conscious and not sure what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

A.

How much would lingual six month smile braces cost?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi there Dr Rob

i was wondering if i could get a quick estimate? how much roughly would lingual six month smile braces cost. I’ve found estimates for normal six month smiles in a place in Birmingham for around £1400, im not sure if this would be an accurate quote. i was wondering whether the cost of lingual six month braces normally be considerably higher than this? Ive been online and have seen both the dental suites in leicester as well as one in loughborough are advertising that they do this type of lingual six month smile treatment. i was hoping you would you know of any place in/around birmingham who also offer this service?

Can I have orthodontic treatment, without having my teeth removed?

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011
Q.

Greetings!

Is it possible to aligned crooked teeth like mine (overcrowding teeth) without pulling one or two teeth, which I would like to avoid for many reasons.

Im already in my 40′s and I recognized my front teeth is getting uglier as it is sticking outside and the side teeth appeared more awkward (push inside). My dentist before told me I have smaller jaw thats why. They suggested before to remove one from both side, to have space.But I could not imagine doing this procedure.

I am embarassed with my teeth, I would like to have it done without getting painstaking surgery or something.I hope even with my age I would still have a chance to have it alinged to boost my self confidence.
What is the best dental cosmetic procedure for me? How much would it cost?

I hope to get the best advice from an Expert.

Looking forward to get a reply soon…

Thank you very much!

My retainer has broken, can I get a replacement?

Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Q.

Mark, if an Essix retainer splits or is cut down, does that affect the effectiveness of maintaining the teeth positions? My Essix retainer has split quite badly now after several years and so feels a little loose as parts of the plastic on it are missing, my bite feels a bit off when i take it out now and it doesn’t feel as ‘tight’ as it were. I don’t have an orthodontist now to replace it as he is now retired but am nervous about my teeth moving.

I live in the London area close to you. How much approximately would you charge to make a replacement Essix for me if I saw you? Many thanks.
