I need to get my teeth bonded and whiting please help me

Q. I was looking to get my teeth bonded and whiting but he only issues is that i have braces. i got the braces three yrs ago 2 close the gaps in mouth but it is taking way to long the orthodontic who put them on said 11 months max yet it has been going on three now i’am so sick and tired of this things please tell me you can help ME!!!!!

A. You need to have your braces removed before you have bonding or bleaching.  Speak to your orthodontist and ask him when you are able to have your braces removed- I would be very surprised if it will be very much longer

What is the better option for rebonding?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q. I have booked an appointment with you to get some advice about what to do with my old bonding on the front of my two front teeth.I think I would want them rebonded as it has lasted me 20 years its now looking old and worn and I think it needs improving.(Its to close the gap diastema)Reading this website it advises to go to a dentist who is really artistic in this area of cosmetic dentistry.When you click on the website to see which dentist does it in my area yours doesnt come up so I am not sure if you really offer this. Also If you do I was wondering whether you use hfo enamel plus material as I am told it is really strong. The reason why I am asking lots of questions is because I am quite scared of getting it redone and I want to improve the look of my teeth.please can you let me know so I have time to cancel the appointment if I need to. Thankyou.

A. Hi

We do carry out cosmetic bonding.It is what I would class as routine dentistry. We do not use HFO. We use gradia, which I feel give better results. We carry out this type of pocedure on a daily basis.

I hope this helps.

Is tooth bonding the best procedure for closing the gap between teeth?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q. I have a gap between two of my front teeth and i was wondering what kind of treatment i could get in order to close the gap. I was researching about tooth bonding and just wanted to ask if you thought that would be the best thing to do in order to close the gap?

A. You would need an assesment to tell the best option for you. Bonding, Veneers & Orthodontics are all possibilities to explore.
The time taken , costs, and stability of the end result are points to consider.
We offer a free initial assesment to help point you in the right direction. Call Amy for details 0121 643 0610.

Q. Dear Dr How valid the calim of this tech” CEREC 3D CAD scanner” versus lab work interm of accuracy. I know the time is 1/600HR waiting ,but is it true NO micro annulas due to accurate dimintion of the tooth. 2-Is the ceramic filling more advance relaible,durable than the composit filling if the ceramic price is 10 times more.Do you advise patients to use it? Thanks

A. Cerec is an extremely accurate technique provided the dentist produces a very smooth and accurate tooth shape, is able to accurately take an optical impression.  Prof Miels recent article shows that a 19 micron fit is possible.

The gap between my front teeth is pretty wide do you think teeth bonding will be suitable

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Q. Hi doctor solanki, i am 22 years old in college. I have gap problem with my 2 front teeth.. The gap is pretty wide about half an inch maybe a little less than.. What procedure do you think is the most inexpensive and best for me?  Do you think teeth bonding will be suitable for a gap this wide?

A.

I honestly don’t think that composite build ups on your front teeth are the answer. As you are wanting to create the illusion of the gap being closed, then your front teeth will look ridiculously wide.
The same problem you would have with veneers. To close the gap, the veneers would have to be alot wider. This may mean that you have to have more teeth veneered to create the best symmetrical appearance. Hope this makes sense.
I think that orthodontics to close the gap may be your best option. There are lots of different appliances on the market that work really quickly- and some are quite discreet, so don’t dismiss the idea totally. Good luck

I would like to have a bonding to fix the gap inbetween my front teeth can i get it done in NHS?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q. Hi, I am under 18 years of age, and I have a gap in between my teeth; this maybe due to the piece of skin attatched in between it, I believe its called a frenum or frenulum. I would like to have bonding to fix the gap, would this be free under the NHS? And if I was to have the piece of skin cut if I decide not to have bonding, will this get rid of my gap? Thankyou

A. Removing the skin will help to prevent the gap re-occurring but will not cause spontaneous closure.
Bonding between the teeth should be available on the NHS, I would recommend you seek someone with some cosmetic training to give you the best results possible.

My daughter starting the ortho treatment will moving the teeth causes the bonding to crack

Friday, July 3rd, 2009
Q. My daughter is 13 years old 4years ago she fell roller skating and had a type 3 fracture on her top front teeth. They have both had a root canal and have been bonded, We are starting ortho treatment to a severe overbite and protruding front teeth. And crowding My question is will moving the teeth in treatment cause the bonding to crack or cause root resorption? The ortho Dr has been doing this for 27 years he knows its a special case and even is taken precautions by putting brackets on the front tooth for more stregnth. We have been through so much and do not need anymore to worry about. She starts headgear next week I am just afraid those 2 front teeth will crack or fall out Any advise?

A. It sounds like the orthodontist has a lot of experience and should be able to keep an eye on the teeth as the treatment progresses, it sounds like the orthodontic traetment is necessary not just for cosmetic reasons and will help reduce the likelyhood of trauma to the front teeth in the future.

Q. I am currently training to be a dental nurse, and one of my assignments is about retorations, one of the questions is asking the purpose and types of bonding agents, please could you help me answer the question. Thank you

A. Bonding agents are used to bond composite resin to teeth to seal the teeth. You should look on the manufacturers website such as Dentsply for all the technical information

the bonding in my front tooth is often chipped off is there any other option

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Q. I have recently had my two front teeth bonded to close a medium size gap in my front teeth. However, after only a couple of months the bonding has flaked/chipped off one of the tooth. I have had to go back to the dentist each time and he does repair the bonding at no cost. Just wondering what are my other options or am I stuck doing this procedure every few months. Also, I have no real bad habits of biting my nails or eating hard foods.

A. This is a problem that alot of people experience with composite restorations on their front teeth. Because they are so small and there may not be much to bond to, then they will just keep coming off!The are more permanent solutions such as veneers- but as long as you are happy to attend your dentist every few months to have them re-done, then that’s fine too!
Veneers will achieve a good, natural result if carried out be a good cosmetic dentist.
Hope this has helped

is it possible to have something bonded on my small yellow spot in my front tooth

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Q. I have a small yellow spot in the centre of my front tooth, underneath the enamel i think, and cause by fluorosis i also think. i am 16. is it possible to have something bonded to just that spot on the tooth? or would you need a veneer/crown to cover the whole thing?

A. It the yellow spot has always been there, then it could be fluorisis, but if it has only recently appeared, it could be the onset of early caries (decay)
I advise that you see your dentist and discuss your concern. If it is fluorosis, the yellow spot can possibly be masked slightly with composite, but aesthetics can be limited in the result. You may be considering veneers to mask the discoloration, but you need to weigh up how much it bothers you. 16 is a very young age to have cosmetic work, so maybe talk it through with your parents.
If on the other hand it is early decay, then you should look into your diet and have it treated as soon as possible to prevent it worsening. Try and restrict sugar to mealtimes.
Hope this information has helped

Can I have my veneers removed and have dental bonding done on them

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q. H have veneers on my top 4 front teeth and they look very big. i have only had them done for a short time so if i had them removed could i have dental bonding applied to these teeth so i do not have to have the veneers

A. Possibly but it depends on the prep underneath, often the veneers are too big because the teeth are under preped. Well prepared veneers shouldn’t look bulky

Is Bonding or braces better for the gaps in my teeth?

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q. I’m thinking about getting braces for small gaps in my front teeth. However I’ve been doing some research and wondering if bonding would be better. I’m paying out of pocket so I’m trying to save money. Which one do you advice.

A. It is difficult to advise you without seeing you but both options could be good.  The key will be the size of your existing teeth and the size of the gaps.  If your teeth are very small closing the gaps may not improve your smile.  Bonding is a great treatment when done well but does need to retouched and well maintained.

I got my two front teeth bonded to close the gap between them

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Q. I got my two front teeth bonded to close the gap between them. The bonding does not feel natural and it feels like a piece of food is stuck between my teeth. Is this normal? Also, can the bonding be removed if I change my mind?

A. Hi
it could be they need a polish but it depends what quality you paid for, nhs would not offer the results you want however it is reversible and you could consider veneers but nothing ever feels as good as the real thing
