Can I restore my tooth by having lumineers applied to previously restored tooth?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

hi. can lumineers bond on an already restored thooth by composite and filling material? i had some large decalcification white marks on my 2 front theeth that my dentist removed by drilling 8 years ago and then restored by filling the removed part with the right colour first and then applying a thin layer of composite mateirial over the all surface (on the part that he fremoved and filled and on the natural theeth) to give a uniform color.. so the upper side of my 2 front theeth behind that layer of composite is untouched by the drill but half of the rest of my theeth where the dentist drilled the marks off has been filled by composite.Given that lumineers are so thin i thought i could fit them on the top of this thin layer without drilling, or if any drilling is involved at least to drill just a tiny bit of the composte without touching my natural theeth.. could that be possible? thank you

Is composite bonding aesthetically and durably the best choice when restoring chipped teeth?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

My 7 year old bumped heads today with a classmate and one upper front tooth and two lower front teeth have been chipped. We have been to the dentist who has said it is only enamel which has been chipped and they are confident there are no fractures, The lower teeth are too sensitive at present to bond with composite filling – it will have to wait til next week. I cannot help but feel saddened that he has chipped his permanent second teeth, Is the composite material hard wearing, natural looking and the best option at present? I need a positive opinion on this if possible, thanks.

My son has a brown smudge on his tooth would a dental veneer be the best treatment for him?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Q.
My son had an accident when he was 16 months old. He forced his new tooth up into the gum which had to be removed surgically. He is now 12 and his adult tooth has emerged with a brown smudge along the lengthe of the tooth. He would like a veneer – would this be the best option? However, as he is still growing would this cause a problem? Also, he is a very keen rugby player would it be worth doing whilst he is playing so much rugby. Or, could the stain be “bleached”? He is very self conscious of his tooth, especially as he is getting interested in girls.,

I have small gaps in my teeth because of gum recession, can lumineers fix this?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Q.
I am 27 and recently went to a dentist who told me that I needed to take better care of my gums. They were red and inflamed and the dentist said there had been some bone loss on the two very back teeth (half a mm). He said that the problem could be solved with a hygienist appointment and a lot of improvement in my brushing technique. I had a professional clean and have since invested in an electric toothbrush. My gums now look pink and much firmer and healthier and they have stopped bleeding. However I have noticed that there is a small amount of recession on two of my front upper teeth. The teeth are strong and healthy but now I have noticed this recession I would like to get it fixed as it has left small gaps in my teeth. Would lumineers be suitable, or some type of bonding?,

Can I have the composite bonding material removed from my front teeth?

Monday, June 7th, 2010
Q.
About 5 years ago, an NHS dentist placed composite bonding material on my 2 front teeth. Before this, it had only been placed on the reverse of these teeth due to a small amount of thinning enamel. Because I was only 16, I didn’t really know what she was doing and did not have the courage to ask why it was being done. They looked so bad that I visited a private dentist who said he could redo them. Within a couple of months they looked just as bad; wearing away at the edges, turning yellow. I brush, floss and mouthwash everyday. Is it possible to just have the composite bonding material removed and go back to my natural teeth? I don’t really know why it was put on the front surface in the first place, as my teeth are straight and, before this, white. Thank you.,
