I Went Through A Period Of Grinding My Teeth. What Treatment Would You Recommend For Short, Stubby Teeth?

Monday, June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I am seeking a good composite bonding dentist in the London area.
I went through a period of teeth grinding. I have now stopped although I still use a night guard.
This has resulted in shorter and ground down teeth to the upper and bottom front teeth.
Can you please suggest how I locate a good dentist for this work and although I know they do not last as long as porcelain veneers, would this be a recommended treatment for short, stubby teeth? Would there be another treatment I could consider? Many thanks.

I Currently Have Braces To Straighten My Teeth, But I Now Have Black Triangles On My Front Teeth. Can You Suggest Any Cosmetic Solutions Once My Braces Come Off?

Wednesday, November 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi there. I currently have braces to straighten my teeth but am expecting to have them removed in about 5 months. My teeth are now really straight but I now have “black triangles” on my upper 4 front teeth. My orthodontist intends to carry out some inter-proximal reduction but has told me this will not eliminate the problem entirely. Can you suggest any cosmetic solutions once my braces come off, bearing in mind I will be required to wear retainers full time initially?

I Had An Infected Tooth After A Filling Came Loose And Now It’s Black. What Are My Long Term Options?

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, a year ago I had root canal surgery performed on my front tooth. I have had ongoing problems with this tooth since I chipped it when I was 12 years of age. I have had it re-filled 3 times. Before I had the root canal, I was told I had an infection as the filling came lose. It is now black. I’m a 20 year old girl and this is really affecting my confidence. Preferably I wouldn’t like to get a crown but I am looking for a long term solution. What are my options in fixing this tooth?
Thanks, please help.

I Think I May Need Composite Bonding As I Grind My Teeth At Night. Is It The Right Option?

Thursday, October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie, I am 17 years of age. I am interested in White fillings with composite bonding. If I decide on having this done to my teeth how long does it last, does it wear off in time? Also does it blend in with the colour of your teeth? A few of my teeth have worn down due to grinding my teeth at night and want to know if this method is suitable for my teeth. Also, I want to know how much will it cost because I am hoping to do it to all of my teeth as I am very insure about them whenever I smile. Does this method still work if you have gaps in your teeth and does it cover these gaps? Thank you.

After Doing Some Research On Veneers, I Want To Know If They Will Look Too Bulky?

Thursday, October 10th, 2013
Q.

I chipped my front tooth that had composite bonding. I was told to get 8 veneers. I have a slight overbite. I already had the prep work done and am on my 2nd dentist. I have the temporaries and there is a large space between the back of my top teeth and the front of my bottom teeth. You can stick your fingernail under them. I have been doing research online and saw if you have an overbite the veneers will look bulky. Is it too late to get composite bonding so I won’t have to worry?

Would there ever be a way to fix this? I can send you a picture please get in touch its really getting me down as I have no smile left and embarrassed to talk in public. Any help would be really appreciated as this is really getting me down. Many thanks.

Will Composite Bonding Improve The Look Of My Smile?

Wednesday, June 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi, my lateral incisors are very small and pointy and my canine teeth are very big. This makes me have a very weird smile. What treatments do you have to fix this? And roughly how much does it cost? I was thinking maybe composite bonding for better shape lateral incisors. I don’t know what procedure can be used to make my canines look nicer. I want to have a beautiful smile without feeling self conscious…. I don’t know what else to say

Should I Opt For Internal Bleaching Or Veneers?

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I have two teeth that are discoloured caused by a trauma decades ago.

The colour became worse after an infection approx six years ago. Following this I had root canal treatment on the two teeth (over 5 years ago now). The root canal seemed to have worked as seen in later x-rays. However the teeth are now more noticeably discoloured. One more than the other.

Eight years ago I had whitening performed by a dentist that worked quite well but the above has reversed this.

On recent dentist visits, they have suggested that traditional whitening treatment may not work as effectively in the past. Their recommendation is veneers.

I am a little concerned at the invasiveness of veneers, risk of the final product looking artificial and weakening the teeth.

How do veneers compare with internal bleaching? (In terms of treatment and effectiveness.)

I am further worried I have no idea where to have this treatment performed in London. How much do either treatments cost? How much time do you need in between appointments?

The Gaps In My Lower Teeth Are Getting Me Down, What Would Help?

Thursday, May 30th, 2013
Q.

Hi there Dr Moore, I have a problem with my teeth that I really hope you’ll be able to help me with Basically, I have a gap in my lower bottom teeth and it does lower my confidence. I have been to my dentist but have been told there’s not much that can be done. As I want it completely closed I wanted to know how much the treatment would be and how much it would cost as I am on benefits at the moment. Most of my bottom teeth have spaces and gaps between them but it does not bother me as much as the gap between my the two lower front teeth. I am desperate to find an affordable cost to get it sorted. I really hope you are able to help.

Many thanks.

Can You Improve On The Work Done By My NHS Dentist?

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013
Q.

I had composite veneers fitted over the front of my 2 front teeth by an NHS dentist. I’m not happy with the work done. One is bulky and cracked due to the fact that i have already had it repaired the other has a dent in where the glue is and you can see on both where they end and my old tooth is under. I’m so disappointed, i feel I have lost confidence when i smile. I had composite bonding over both teeth years ago and this was great you could not even tell. they looked so natural. I went to get them redone as it has been 8 years and this dentist said this was the only way they could now be done. I feel my front teeth are a mess with the composite veneers. Could your firm do anything? Maybe composite bond over them? Thank you.
