can I have veneers done when I have receding gums?

Yes although you may be left with residual gaps at the necks of your teeth

Can you tell by looking at someone if they have a lava or a porcelain crown

Not really a good crown looks like your natural tooth regardless of the type. Crowns without metal generally look more natural and cosmetic.

I am a 52 yr old lady who suffers with very sensitive and painful teeth they are loose due to gum disease. I have wide gaps in my mouth where teeth have been extracted. I have always maintained excellent dental hygene and visit my dentist twice a year. would cosmetic dentistry be my only option as this is very expensive. I just want to smile again.

Could you please tell me what you charge for gum lifting per tooth, also, Ihave been told that veneers are usually needed after a gum lift to cover exposed roots, is this true? Many thanks

hello I hope you can help me I have terrible problemswith old implants (20 years) and my gums are receding badly. I am at a lossto know what to do and now I have a lump on my gums. To be honest I am very scared but do not know what to do, I need help, but very scared. – Ijust need some advice/solutions. I know that I have perio problems as well.Do you think you can help me? Best regards

I have two questions; 1 – I have had a problem with receding gums on my two front lower teeth since I were about 8 (They’ve continued to recede despite regular cleaning and care) and it has now gotten to the point where I haven’t got any gum left – I’m convinced I can see my root – is there anything that can be done to improve look/security? 2 – I have a ‘gap’ caused by a slight miss alignment in the upper front teeth – can you recommend anything to fix this? Preferably something not costly as I am a student. Thanks!

1. You may need a graft to repar the recession along with extensive cleaning with a hygienist or gum specialist. 2. Bonding white filling might be a cheap simple solution to the gap?

i had my front tooth crown and the tooth started to decay from inside meaning my own teeth over which the crown was fixed. it wass painful hence the dentist drilled at the back of the crown and now the front half of the crown has come off… so embarrassed …dont know what to do… will i have to have my tooth removed or can i have another crown? If this is not poss wat would be optons with implants? plse help/advice

Sorry, I can’t really answer this with out seeing you. Implants are usually always an option.

i have receding gums my teeth i keep clean and have regular check ups scale and polish, in past years my teeth have had extensive work as a child due to accident. Now i rely on DWP and my dentist will only scale and polish he say it cosmetic and does not come under NHS? it effecting me to smile i have a lovely whit even smile but 7 front teeth are showing my roots. What option is available to me please i am a young 47 and now starting to lack my bubbly confidence

You might be a good candidate for surgery to cover the roots. Find a periodontist to see if they can help you. If not you could see my periodontist in Essex 08443 87 87 88

I have a couple of teeth on the top where the gums are receding and the root is showing. I have been told that the only solution is to change the way I clean my teeth and by using a soft bristled brush. I am already using an electric toothbrush so that the brush does the work and not me. What I would like to know is whether composite resin type fillings be used to cover the root or whether gum grafting is the only solution should the problem get worse?

Covering roots with filling helps to reduce wear of the roots aesthetically gum grafting works well but oit depends on the underlying bone. Try to brush more gently and see how it progresses before starting surgical treatment.

I had chemotherapy and my consultant thinks it’s possible that’s caused a slight receding of the gums.This now shows the top of a previous bridge. I also have a crease down my front tooth, a small gap between my front two teeth. Is it possible to cover bridges with veneers, I have two, one either side of each front tooth in top set, or would I have to have my bridges replaced? I know my front top 8 teeth could look lovely with them if it were possible.
any advice would be very much appreciated.
