Is it likely that the cost of porcelain veneers will rise?

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
Q.

I have broken and worn front teeth either from grinding or acid erosion over the years, and I am considering porcelain veneers. Given that the treatment is expensive, and that the veneers only last 5 to 10 years, is the cost of replacements likely to be comparable to the initial treatment ? My fear is that although I might be able to find the funds for the initial treatment, i could end up being locked into unaffordable treatments into my old age ?

Will lumineers be the best option to treat the damage caused by acid erosion?

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011
Q.

Dear Rob,

I’m 20 years old and have extremely sensitive teeth. Notably, this because I’ve suffered bad acid erosion to my teeth due to the diet during my younger years (As a further consequence, the enamel on my front teeth is very thin). Cold and hot foods/ drinks give me a very sharp and agonising pain. Even when I eat foods that aren’t affected by tempature such as chocolate, I feel a painful sensation that goes directly to my back teeth.

I’ve been looking into Lumineers as a way of correcting this problem. I was wondering because of my extreme tooth sensitivity would I be eligible to have them done on the NHS? I’ve decided against traditional veneers because of the unecessary tooth reduction and the fact that I do still have healthy teeth.

Thank you

My teeth are damaged due to bulimia, can you advise how to restore them?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I used to have lovely straight and pearly white teeth.People used to comment on them all of the time. But for the past couple of years I have suffered terribly from bulimia and my wisdom teeth are coming in.
My once beautiful teeth have discoloured, the enamel and actual teeth have worn down and my front teeth have had a few mm chiped off them too from the acid erosion.
This combined with my wisdom teeth moving and therefore overcrowding my bottom jaw is extremely distressing.
Im not sure what action I can take to improve my teeth and hopefully restore them visually to their former glory.Ofcourse, I have stopped vomiting, but the effects are still plain to see.

What would you advise?

Kind regards

A.

I have been ill lately and unable to clean my teeth, which has eroded the enamel. I am scared to go to the dentist. Can you help me?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
I haven’t been to the dentist in a few years. The last dentist I saw was rude and hurt me alot over a simple fissure seal, and ignored me when i told him so. This has made me really nervous about seeing another dentist since then. In the last few weeks I have noticed some of my teeth are slightly sensitive and I have enamel wearing away on three of my top teeth near the gum line. I have always looked after my teeth so I realise I have to go to a dentist soon but I don’t really trust dentists anymore and was wondering if you had any idea what could be causing my enamel wearing away? I have problems with my stomach and tonsils the last year which means now and again I get very ill and throw up alot. Its since then that I have had problems with my teeth and thought it might be because I can’t brush my teeth well during these “ill times” very well as my throat swells and the slightest pressure on my throat makes me sick. I would just like an idea of what it could be before I pluck up the courage to see a dentist again. Thanks,
A.
