Hi, I had root canal a year or so ago, and my tooth has been discoloured. I have had internal whitening which has lightened the overall colour of the tooth, however I have 3 very distributive black lines on my tooth and my dentist says there is nothing else he can do. But he is thinking from a dental perspective not a cosmetic, as to me my tooth is still discoloured and makes me very self conscious as it’s my front tooth. Does this sound like something that can be sorted?
Thank you.
Hiya. I’ve just had veneers done, six at the top, I’ve only had them done recently and already I have a black line appearing at the bottom of two of the veneers. I’ve tried brushing it away but it won’t go. I also feel my veneers are not very secure and could fall out at any time. I was made aware that this was a good cosmetic dentist. I am beginning to think that this is not the case.
Could you help to tell me what the black lines are and what I should do to be rid please?
Also how long should the veneers be sensitive for as my still feel very sensitive?
Thank you.
I have just paid 7,000 pounds to have my top teeth improved with bridge work and porcelain veneers. Work was finished in aug I noticed few weeks ago a black line above tooth. When the hygienist looked she said my gum line is receding. She advised me to use sonic toothbrush nd to massage my gum with gauze in a downward motion. I feel absolutely sick that I need to look at this and it is noticeable when I smile. What can I do. Many thanks
Hi,
I have a dental bridge which was fitted in 1977 and is still going strong! However, as the gums have receded slightly, a fine dark line is now showing at the gumline. Can I have this bridge replaced or is it likely that the two teeth either side of it would not now be suitable to support a new bridge? If so, what are the best alternatives? Also, would I be better to put up with the appearance of the bridge as it is and wait until it becomes loose or presents me with some other problem, before trying to replace it?
Many thanks
I had post crowns fitted some years ago on my top two front teeth. A year ago I had root canal treatment, and since then there is a highly visible black line between my crowns and my gums – I think it is the metal from the crowns.
I was informed that I am not able to have the post crowns replaced and would therefore like to know what my options are as I am becoming increasingly upset about this black metal showing.
hi im only 17 and am a single mum. when i was younger i was never taken to the dentist and was brought up on a unhealthy diet and became very embarssed to go to a dentist from a yong age and my teeth became very painful to brush! due to this i have really bad oral health all of my teeth are very yellow inbetween my 2 front teeth i have a black line and another of my front teeth has a black hole in it were there starting to go rotten. one of my back teeth is also broken down. this is ruining my life its getting me very down i cant afford cosmetic dentistry as im only 17 please help and tell me what options i have if i have any?
Can you put veneers over crowns? I really dislike my crowns which don’t go up to the gum Hence there is unsightly black lines above the crown. Do I have to replace the crown? I understand there is a danger of breaking the original tooth if they do this.
