My boyfriend has good teeth but they are fairly small and have slight gaps in between. We were thinking about veneers – would this be the right treatment do you think? And what are the estimated costs involved? Thanks for any help you can give us doctor hughes

Dr Hughes,
Could you please tell me what is recognised as the safe maximum amount of IPR per tooth?
I am getting Invisalign next month and to due to the fact that my teeth are protruding and I have crowding issues, to get the required result it appears I need to have .5mm taken off each side of my top teeth and .3mm off each side of my bottom teeth. Is there any risk to the long term health of my teeth?
Thanks

Hi there, I am really interested about getting veneers on my top teeth, having had braces and asthma when I was younger they are discolored and have moved in shape.
I live in Milton Keynes but my question to you, is how do you know the best place to go to get them? I don’t want a fake looking smile, which makes me really scared but I look at images on the internet and a few of my friends and most look amazing. Could you recommend anyone to me? and what price should I be looking at paying.
Many Thanks

Dr. Tennet: My 18 year old daughter recently had her four wisdom teeth out. ..we thought. In error, her upper right second molar was extracted and the impacted wisdom tooth remains. The dentist is willing to do what is necessary to make the situation right and is hoping the wisdom tooth will drop and she can wear braces to move the wisdom tooth forward. We are skeptical that this will work and our daughter does not want to wear braces again, especially in college! We have had one expert look at doing a post implant which our daughter would like. The expert’s first reaction was to tell us she did not have enough bone to do this.
We want to pursue another opinion but would like some guidance before moving forward. Could you give us your thoughts and some advice?
Thank you.

Hi i’m 17 and i have multiple gaps in my teeth that are right next to each other my teeth are straight and i have a small overbite(which isn’t a problem), there are 11 gaps in my teeth, 5 in the top teeth and 6 in the bottom, the 4 in the top are the ones I am more worried about. the ones in the top range from 1mm to 3.5mm and they are all next to each other and the bottom gaps are smaller except for a 2.5mm gap between the premolar and canine tooth. My orthodontist didn’t recommend braces because he said there was a high chance of gaps coming straight back and i can’t afford to spend a lot of money on something that isn’t right for me. Is there anything you would recommend i do or look into? I’ve heard of so many things like veneers of all different kinds, invisalign, orthordill and other teeth bands, also i know that some of these treatments are expensive is there anyway i could reduce the cost? i know that it isn’t very likely but, I’ve been wanting to do something about my teeth since i was 14 and i knew the gaps weren’t going away. The main reason i want to do this now is because i’m going to university next year and i would really love to have a more confident smile when meeting new people and making new friends, i dont want to labeled the silent or shy girl because I keep my mouth shut because I’m not shy but my teeth hold me back and have been for several years. Any advice will be REALLY appreciated.

hiya there, i have a very large gap between my 2 front teeth and as far as i know i have always had it there. i dont really understand why its there, i always assumed it would close as i grew, what options do i have? i really hate it though and just wondered if it can be fixed and if so how much it would cost and what i need to have done ie: would it be more than one treatment or a course etc etc. would i need cosmetic dentistry or could i get it done at my normal dentist? if the treatment is costly can it be paid off in instalments or do you need to pay all upfront? thank you very much

Greetings!
Is it possible to aligned crooked teeth like mine (overcrowding teeth) without pulling one or two teeth, which I would like to avoid for many reasons.
Im already in my 40′s and I recognized my front teeth is getting uglier as it is sticking outside and the side teeth appeared more awkward (push inside). My dentist before told me I have smaller jaw thats why. They suggested before to remove one from both side, to have space.But I could not imagine doing this procedure.
I am embarassed with my teeth, I would like to have it done without getting painstaking surgery or something.I hope even with my age I would still have a chance to have it alinged to boost my self confidence.
What is the best dental cosmetic procedure for me? How much would it cost?
I hope to get the best advice from an Expert.
Looking forward to get a reply soon…
Thank you very much!

i have a good tooth in my front upper jaw (central incisor 1) but its twisted and is overlapping upon its next one (another central incisor. Now thats making my smile look bad. I have seen a dentist and he, after examining x-rays, told theres no space between my teeth and brace are not an option for me. then he suggested me a solution that is he will grind the tooth and root canal and then put on a crown.
is it ok?? is what the doctor saying right? after coming back home i got a question that is why do i need a root canal? Cant i simply grind and wear the crown?
is this the right solution that he suggested.. is there any new technology in the developed world?

my 13 year old daughter has just had brace removed and has been told by our old dentist she could have vaneers ,as she has had problem with many of her front teeth the bottom of her teeth are thicker and yellow ,and children can be really cruel to her ,she brushed her teeth twice a day but kids say she just dont brush ,would you think bonding would be a better choice ??? I have done a bit of research and she is going to see a local dentist tomorrow and she has got her hopes up that they will do something to help her ,i really feel for her because she has had this problem since her second teeth have come through so i am really eager for this problem to be solved at this very sensitive age

Hi,
I have a crooked smile but I think the main problem is that two of my teeth are ‘sharpened’ i.e. into a fanglike shape from years of wearing….is it possible to have teeth filing services to cure this?
Secondly I have already undertaken a brace course in my teens, I believe my teeth became crooked after my teeth failed to ajust to my post treatment retainer, in summary I think my smile is now too far forward (i.e. a rabbit smile) is it easy to push teeth back?
Kind regards
