I’d Like To Close The Gaps In My Teeth, Would Veneers Work Well For Me?

Monday, September 23rd, 2013
Q.

Good Morning Dr Moore,

I have a question regarding the gap I have on the top arcade between the first and the second incisive on the right. The gap is 2,5mm wide maximum and I believe it is due to the fall of the second incisive milk tooth at the age of 25, I’m now 39 years old and the gap has stayed constant in all these years without moving toward the first incisive.
I would like now to finally fix it and close or cover the gap. What options are there for me? Do you know if veneers be a viable option?
Many thanks, I really hope you can help me with this and offer your advice.

I Grind My Teeth And Have Been Told To Wear A Mouth Guard Throughout The Day, Can Anything Else Be Done?

Thursday, September 19th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

Could you please tell me the options available for me? I chronically grind my teeth and have worn them down and they are starting to break up, mainly the upper left ones but also the other and it is causing me some pain. I have been given a mouth guard to wear during the night and have been told I should start wearing it through the day as well but that is an option I would like to avoid as it is quite unsightly and hinders my speech.

Thank you.

I’m Interested In Laser Gum Contouring And I’m Also Looking At Getting Veneers To Improve My Smile, Which Would You Suggest?

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I’m interested in having laser gum contouring for just my front incisors. I am also looking to have some veneers perhaps maybe four(front and lateral incisors) where there are composites at present (which need to be removed).I have just completed my Invisalign treatment and really just want to renew my smile by making my teeth more even in length. I have heard of Emax veneers and wondered why they’ve become more popular. I have also read that these are better than perhaps Lumineers or Davinci veneers. I don’t really understand the difference, could you me understand the difference?

Hi, I Have Very Small Teeth Which Means I Have Gaps Everywhere. I Want To Know Which Treatment Options Are Available To Me?

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi, Hello Doctor Moore. My problem is that I have very small adult teeth which means that I have gaps everywhere and my two front teeth seem huge in comparison to the rest. My two front teeth start higher up in the gum and they go past my other teeth. My teeth beside the front ones are also very small and pointy and there are gaps on both sides of them. There is no gap between my front two teeth and it makes me feel like a little kid with two rabbit teeth. I’m 16 and becoming very self conscious about my smile. What options do I have to make me have a normal smile?
All my teeth are straight as well. Thank you for your consideration.

Monday, September 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I really hope you can help me, I have gaps in my upper top teeth and I really want to close them. I need some advice on what to do to get them closed. I really hate my teeth and it’s always knocked my confidence. I also have a slight overbite which I hate, and the gap is fairly big between my top teeth. I would love cosmetic surgery as I feel that I am too old for braces and I want a fast result. I have no confidence when I smile because of the gap between teeth and I really want it closed. It would make me so much happier. My gums are very exposed to so I have a gummy smile. Thank you for your consideration. Please help me!!

Monday, September 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi, My teeth are overcrowded at the top and bottom. I also have two vampire style teeth on top, one at each side and they are also overlapping the ones beside them.  I would rate my smile a one out of ten. I am 35 years old hope to get married next year I should have got them done years ago. I really don’t want to get braces for two years and want to know if it is my only option? I would really like to get veneers but don’t know if this would work on my teeth.  I was on holiday last year and a little boy said to his mam beside me look at her teeth mam, she is like a vampire, I was so embarrassed, I really hope you can advise me.

I Am Happy With My Veneers And Now One Has Fallen Off. What Are My Options?

Wednesday, August 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I need to tell you that the second veneer on one of my front teeth has fallen off! My dentist has said that there is not enough tooth left to resurface and has recommended that I have my front teeth crowned. He has now given me a quote of about £500 per tooth. I am not able to afford this at the moment and wondered if there was another solution. As at the moment one of my front teeth is not looking very attractive. I have had veneers on my front teeth for quite a long time and the other tooth still has the original veneer. I have never really been happy with the shape of the veneers as they have made my teeth look too wide and uneven. Look forward to hearing your advice. Thank you

very much Dr Patel.

I Used To Be A Smoker And Need My Teeth Straightened, But I’d Struggle To Pay For Veneers. What Are My Options?

Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi, I am only 22 years old and getting very depressed because of the look of my teeth. I am ashamed to say I was a smoker and didn’t eat very healthy in the past. I have now stopped smoking and eating better but my teeth are still terrible because of my bad habits in the past. They’re not as white as they were and my bottom teeth are not straight and all different shapes. I hate too look at them and I hate to smile at anyone. It’s making my life hell and has taken all of my confidence away because of my wrong choices in the past. It’s even affected my personal life because myself esteem was so low I could never smile near my ex-boyfriend. I can never afford that type of money for veneers, can you please advise me on what I can do, Thank you for reading, do please get back to me.

How Would I Deal With My Pointed, Misaligned Teeth?

Thursday, July 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr. Please please help me. My teeth have been stealing my confidence since i was a kid. My 2 upper cuspid are so pointed. Like a fang. And the left cuspid was not in proper place. my 2 lower cuspid are pointed but not that much. My teeth are stained due to coffee and im so tired of using whitening products. I want to have braces so my left upper cuspid will be pushed back. But i realize it wont solve the problem with my pointed and stained teeth. It wont vanish. Still like a vampire. I read that veneers can fix this. My 4 upper teeth in front are also not in good shape. The two in front are big. The tooth beside my left cuspid on the right is so small. Im planning to have my teeth bleach before getting veneers for my upper teeth only as ive read here but my dentist suggested to have my teeth in veneers up and down front only because if the bleached teeth will get stained again it will leave the veneers teeth white only and the rest yellow. I dont want to get veneer teeth in yellow color.But its so expensive, up and down veneer front only. What should i do? With my pointed and misaligned cuspid and stained teeth. Im willing to pay but up and down veneers are so costly and im in a really tight budget. Im so desperate to fix this problem to finally gain confidence. Please please help me. Thank you so much!

Should I Opt For Internal Bleaching Or Veneers?

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I have two teeth that are discoloured caused by a trauma decades ago.

The colour became worse after an infection approx six years ago. Following this I had root canal treatment on the two teeth (over 5 years ago now). The root canal seemed to have worked as seen in later x-rays. However the teeth are now more noticeably discoloured. One more than the other.

Eight years ago I had whitening performed by a dentist that worked quite well but the above has reversed this.

On recent dentist visits, they have suggested that traditional whitening treatment may not work as effectively in the past. Their recommendation is veneers.

I am a little concerned at the invasiveness of veneers, risk of the final product looking artificial and weakening the teeth.

How do veneers compare with internal bleaching? (In terms of treatment and effectiveness.)

I am further worried I have no idea where to have this treatment performed in London. How much do either treatments cost? How much time do you need in between appointments?
