Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can help me. My enquiry relates to the fact that I have a chip on my front tooth that is filled with composite, however this constantly keeps coming off. I have been told a veneer is an option however I am wondering if having the tooth reshaped would be a better option? I am worried that the chip in my tooth may be too large to reshape. Any advice you could offer would be great as this is something that constantly worries me and affects my confidence. Thanks, I look forward to any advice you can offer.

I’m Wondering How I Should Treat The Chip In My Tooth. With Veneers Or Reshaping?
Wednesday, November 13th, 2013I’m Interested In Laser Gum Contouring And I’m Also Looking At Getting Veneers To Improve My Smile, Which Would You Suggest?
Wednesday, September 11th, 2013Hello, I’m interested in having laser gum contouring for just my front incisors. I am also looking to have some veneers perhaps maybe four(front and lateral incisors) where there are composites at present (which need to be removed).I have just completed my Invisalign treatment and really just want to renew my smile by making my teeth more even in length. I have heard of Emax veneers and wondered why they’ve become more popular. I have also read that these are better than perhaps Lumineers or Davinci veneers. I don’t really understand the difference, could you me understand the difference?
Why will veneers make my teeth look bulky?
Friday, July 15th, 2011Hello, I want to have veneers on my two top front teeth as I dislike the shape and colour of them (I currently have composite fillings which are unsightly looking).
Two dentists however have told me that veneers would look bulky on my teeth. I don’t understand – why would they look bulky if a veneer is the same thickness as the amount of tooth removed?
My teeth are in line, but I do have a 6mm overbite (which does not bother me). Would this be why they might look bulky?
I have severely ground down my teeth, what do you suggest?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Hello Dr. All of my teeth are very badly ground down due to excess grinding of calcium substitues. I very much would like to ave a beautiful smile. I am embarassed by my teeth. Some of them are also chipped. They are discoloured, just awful.
I know you have a brilliant reputation for putting patients at ease, as this is also a problem for me, dentist phobia.
Anyway, Dr. , if you were able to help me, I can’t express how I grateful and happy I would be. I realise that you are a specialist, but my teeth are so bad that I doubt even you can do anything with them.
I feel depressed and down, just because of my teeth and not being able to smile whenever there is something to smile about.
Yours sincerely
Can anything be done about a ‘weak area’ near my sinus tract?
Tuesday, January 18th, 201122 years ago I had a bridge on on top front teeth; 3 years later i had some problems which meant surgery over the top of the bridge – apersectomy? Very quickly there was some gum recesssion, which has got worse over the last few years – the metal from the bridge was exposed. A composite has now been appiled – slightly better but I remain self conscious. I have lived with a sinus tract over the area since 1989 – my NHS dentist helps me by ” leaving alone” – I get by with occassional discomfort. Because the area is ” weak” can anything be done? Feel a bit depressed over it. Live in Flixton and saw your web page

Would composite or a crown be best to treat slightly broken tooth?
Thursday, October 7th, 2010Hello, One of my teeth (in France, it is called Tooth no:16) broke slightly on the outside. Would you say that a repair in composite to be ok. Or would you recommend a crown? What would be a good estimate for the whole job? The existing tooth has an amalgam filling & it will need an inlay core. Could I send you a photo of the tooth and the X-ray??? Thank you.,
