My front teeth are thin with acid erosion from an eating disorder

Q. My two front teeth have been eroded and thinned (thick at the gum then really slim down at the bottom) due to acid erosion caused by years of an eating disorder. Now those days are truly well behind me I am left with a reminder when I see these two eroded front teeth, which I am becoming more and more self conscious about. The two teeth either side of these face forwards so I presume would need re-allighning, however the rest of my teeth are in pretty good nick and form a good shape / curve. What would you recommend to sort these 4 teeth out, and roughly do you know how much it would cost, and could you recommend anywhere in London, many thanks.

 

A. Firstly if you feel that the two side teeth stick out it would first be best to move these teeth back into alignment. once this has been done you could veneer the two front teeth to improve there appearance and give them added strength. the average cost of this treatment overall i predict would be between £3000 - £4000. hope this is helpful. i recommend Dr Riten Patel from the Mulburry clinic in Weybridge surrey. or if you require a clinic closer to the city centre Dr Michael Akere from london bridge dental practice in london bridge.
