Q. I had braces two years ago, I am 17 years old now and I currently have a permanent fitting at the back of my two front teeth they were placed their in order to prevent my two front teeth from moving forward. However the opposite thing happened now I am starting to see them move forward and they look really ugly. So I was wondering how much would it cost to get my front teeth fixed?…..and what else could be done to them in order to improve their appearance?
A. hi
it would mean that your retainer has not done the job it was intended to
the amount they have moved would determine costs for treatment – if minor expect a cost -1500
if major could be approx 2700
after they are straight we would supply a retainer that would cover the teeth at night that prevents movement in either direction which you would have to wear 2-3 nights a week

Q. i have had a root filling on one of my front teeth years ago which has discoloured it thus making me a little uncomfortable when i have to smile!! unfortunate for me i work as an air hostess so i have to be all smiley smiley all the time!! i am considering having veneers but want to know alot more about them, ie cost for a full set? what the ups and downs are? do my teeth get damaged? how long do they last? i smoke, so would that effect them? and i am a little scared to just go to anybody as i dont want to be one of those cases where things go wrong and im left with infection or no teeth!? sorry!!
A. hi
if the discolouration of the tooth is really bad then a crown may be more suitable.
for that perfect smile your other teeth may be suitable for veneers which is a thin porcelain covering on the outer surface of the tooth , this usually means that the tooth needs to be drilled to avoid bulkiness when the veneer is placed . the downside is that you are comitting to a non reversible procedure . as time goes on and if your gums receed you will begin to see the join to the tooth near the gum -which is more of a problem if you have a gummy smile otherwise you will be ok.
smoking increases the efects of gum disease and also helps initiate gum disease so can contribute to the long term look of your veneers
costs per tooth vary between 475 to 700 per tooth depending on level of cosmetics
if just the position of your teeth apart from the dark one bothers you but not size and shape consider orthodontics like invisalign

Q. Hello I have a problem where my teeth from the k9s inwards are too far forward they are straight as the roots themselves are too advanced. I suspect I should have had braces as a child. The result is when my mouth is closed I look as if im wearing a gum sheild. I saw an orthodentist about 10 yrs ago who said he couldnt really make much difference. I wondered if techniques have moved on since and if you might be able to help?
A. hi
im afraid that without considering orthognathic surgery there may not be any other treatment that will help.
a referral to ahospital orthodontic dept will help with discussio on this as a option

Q. Hi! i would appreciate your guidance. My bottom teeth have moved over thelast two years,i believe due to me biting down on my back teeth when i am stressed and at the time i went through a personal trauma. I have been to see one harley street authordontist who recomended invisalign. It was completely out of my budget. I have noticed that it has affected my smile,i have a big smile and haave no problem with my confidence but i am growing increasingly upset by my teeth,especially seeing perfectly straight teeth in photos only two years previous. I have just been researching veneers,although i would not like my own teeth removed or ground down to have them. This evening i have just found out about the inman aligner,i am really interested. How do i get advice on what is truly the best option for my teeth? I hope you can help… Regards
A. hi,
if the teeth affected are the ones between the anterior canines then it is likely it can be helped with the inman.
look for a dentist near you or if you prefer any of my clinincs will offer a free consultation.

Q. Hello Dr Safeer Would you please explain what are the strict criteria for lumineers? (one of my front teeth has changed color after a canal treatment, prev. it was broken & bleached last year). Also, it is necessary to have all teeth covered by lumineers, or can one sigle tooth be done? Thank you very much for your time and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Apologies, previously I posted a wrong email address. Kind regards,
A. hi,
in my opinion lumineers only look good in situations where teeth are set in from the rest and you are trying to bulk them out.otherwise they are too thin and the dark colour of natural teeth shines through.if you make them thicker to compensate for this they protrude and also you see a join where they meet the teeth.
therefore i am still a big advocate of traditional veneers in the case you describe,in the case you describe it is also likely that one veneer is possible

Q. Hi. I had SEVERAL fillings done about 1.5 months ago, and on occasion, those teeth will hurt, especially when I chew gum. It seems that the sensitivity to hot and cold has diminished considerably since I had the fillings done, but most times when I chew gum, those teeth hurt. The fillings are white, not silver. Is this normal?
A. hi
this problem can occur several factors play a part the depth of the filling/closeness to the nerve.
the technique by which it was placed .
as symptoms are improving over time -give it a bit longer or contact your dentist to check everything is ok as it may settle

Q. hi i would really value your thoughts. day 1 i had a root canal day 2 and 3 no pain, fine. day 4 pain begins. day 7 i ring my dentist and i get an emergency appointment as tooth hurting. i get prescribed amoxcillin as i have a mild infection. my dentist sill want me to come back for my perm crown the next day. day 8 crown fitted. its now day 12 i am still on anti biotics and ibuprofen. my tooth has settled but if i acidentally over bite it hurts and eating on it is a def no no. MY QUESTION TO YOU SIR IS HOW LONG SHOULD I GIVE IT TO SETTLE BEFORE I SHOULD BE WORRIED? many thanks this is a great service kind regd
A. the truth of the matter is you cannot be sure it will settle as not all root canal treatments are a success. i can only guess that it was a difficult procedure as it took so many appointments to do it.
root canals can give symptoms for a yr post treatment and it is their severity that determines whether you give it time or take further action

Q. hello sir, i am 21 years old male from kashmir, india, i have a white patch on one of my frontal teeth.doctor here suggested me porcelain veneering.i wanted to know whether there are any side effects related to it,and will it be for life time…do i need to redo it.if so,after how many years… thamk you sir
A. yes
veneering is a non reversible process which will neeed replacing.how soon this happens depends on the quality of the work and your cleaning and dietary habits.this time can vary from 8 to 12 yrs and should not be done lightly and by a dentist who has a good quality of work
you can try drilling away the white area and doing composite bonding

Q. I am interested in having my teeth whitened, I have heard that it is not good for the teeth and weakens the enamel, could you advise a procedure that would be safe, painless and gentle to my teeth and also look natural but not too white.
A. it is complete rubbish that whitening damages the enamel i would recommend a prolonged home whitening course or a combi in house laser and home whitening treatment
