The two crowns fitted to my front teeth are too big, is there anything I can do?

October 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi I had veneers fitted 15 years ago to close quite a large gap I had in my front teeth. I never thought of having a brace fitted at the time & thought this would be a quick fix to solve the problem. My dentist suggested I had crowns fitted as the veneers were continuously falling out. My front teeth look too big compared to the rest of my teeth & I am very self consious about this. I was wondering if there was any way these could be made to look smaller, or is there nothing I can do about this due to having crowns fitted. If this could be done would it be very expensive to correct.

Will the prep work of veneers damage my teeth?

October 19th, 2011
Q.

Hello. I would like to do no prep veneers, however I don’t know what are the risks? Can tooth deteriorate under them? Do you give any guarantees? Can bonding material cause damage? I think that maybe my teeth will need protection not only from front but also from back side, are there no prep veneers that cover tooth from back and front? Because I don’t want any level of tooth tissue to be removed.

I have lost most of my teeth but cannot afford the cost of dental work, what can I do?

October 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am wondering if you know of any places or if people ever do pro bono work. I am 38, have lost almost all my teeth, have barely any gums left and am always having headaches and at times extreme pain due to broken teeth. I never feel good and I believe its due to my mouth. I can barely chew food any more which is causing stomach issues now. i am in the Asheville area of NC and am a mom to a k and a 1st grader and a wife. I dont want to die early and live with this embarrassement anymore cause I know I have a wonderful life to live for. Im so tired of living like this and we dont have money so I havent visited a dentist in probably 20 years. Any ideas or suggestions would be so appreciated

What would it cost to have all my teeth removed and replaced?

October 13th, 2011
Q.

Hello Sir / Madam.

Im from the UK, and was wondering how much would it cost to have all teeth removed & have brand new teeth put in permently?

I’ve had 2 crowns, and serveral feelings and they seem to last for about a year then they fall out.

im looking for a treatment where there is 100% chance they will last a long time, and not for only a year or two.

Would there be anything you could recommend / Advice? as when i was young i never was told to look after my teeth, and now they all seem to be cracking, and costing me £200 for a repair crown every year per tooth, and its costing me too much.

Im looking for a Whole new set of teeth, they will stay permantly in, and will not break / fall out, one that requires alot of brushing, but not many fixes.

Do you guys have any answers? please respond.

The post of my crown is very dark, is there anyway to make the crown itself more opaque?

October 13th, 2011
Q.

Hi, 4 years ago, i had a metal fused to porcelain crown done, and recently i went to a cosmetic dentist to get a all ceramic crown done, i only then realised i had a metal post and now it shines through my all ceramic crown.my dentist did suggest that it is very difficult to remove a healthy post and mine is very healthy it could fracture resulting an implant and i cant take the high risk. Would it be possible to still have a ceramic crown but have it bit more opaque in the middle to hide the metal post? My teeth are shade A1 and my dentist said i would have to go for a much yellow crown to hide the post but can he not make it a bit more opaque in the middle to eliminate the greyish colour metal post?
Many thanks!

I am self conscious about my gums, what can I do about my upper lip line?

October 11th, 2011
Q.

i have an unsatisfactory smile due to abnormally revealed gum tissues only at the area of the four incisors, and the apparent length of the teeth is normal , is there any procedure to stop the upper lip while smiling at the right gum line position?? knowing that i am 23 years old and have normal front teeth length, contour and alignment.. but my previously mentioned problem has always had a terrible impact on me since i was a little girl.. it makes me always conscious about the look of my smile during all conversations.. i have never ever revealed my teeth in any photo of mine.

Would a bridge be able to replace my two front teeth?

October 11th, 2011
Q.

my two upper front teeth need replacing, would it be possible to have a bridge done to replace both teeth as like a 4 or 6 bridge unit, to make sure there is enough support on the outside teeth? I have heard of a person (dentist) who has had 4 front teeth missing and has had these bridged. She was unfortunately born with a cleft pallet. Can you please advise me? Alternately I would have to look into implants which is going to be costlly and painfull, and also time consuming because I was hoping to get this work done in Turkey.

I am unhappy with the appearance of my new veneer, can I have it changed?

October 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi there, I have had a lab made veneer on my front left tooth and I am unhappy with the way it looks because it looks bigger than the front right tooth, If if were to use a cerec dentist would they be able to make it look nice and symetrical, and how much roughly would I expect to pay for this service? I also have some black fillings that I might be interested in getting replaced with cerec fillings again how much would I be expected to pay for this?

Many thanks

I don’t have some of my adult teeth, are dental implants the best replacement option for my situation?

October 7th, 2011
Q.

i have a large gap between my two front top teeth, not from a missing tooth just naturally. i would like the gap made smaller. when i was younger an xray revealed i didnt have any big teeth to come through so alot of my back teeth up and down are all milk and at the moment one is so lose i cant even brush it, i know it needs to come out as i know its making my breath smell but im so scared of having it out and dont know what my options would be to replace it, im 24 and really dont want a flase tooth i would like an implant. i also have a tooth missing which was a milk tooth and a g tooth never grew through which i would like replaced. what could i have done and how much would i expect to pay for this
