Is Microabrasion Harmful To Teeth?

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
Q.

Hi I would just like to know the possible to solutions for white spots on the tooth ? I have heard of microabrasion but the from the reviews I have seen the results do not seem promising. Are veneers necessary ? Or are there other options Available ? I have a white spot on my front tooth and I wanted to know if in the london area it is treatable ? Also is microabrasion harmful to the teeth as I know it involves shaving a layer of enamel? Are teeth a lot more sensitive as a result ? I want to have my teeth whitened but frightened that these white spots will become more apparent if I do this. Can you please advise? thank you, I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards.

Is There A Way To ‘Widen’ My Smile?

Friday, July 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr.Hughes,
My question might be silly because it involves the natural way my jaw is shaped. However, I was wondering if there is any way to widen a smile? I have a very small mouth and lips. So when I smile only a total of 4 teeth clearly show. This tends to make my smile look “fake” and I’ve had a lot of people tell me the same. I dont know if it is maybe because my teeth’s alignment curves back more sharply than the average person, or if it has to do with some other factor.
Is there any hope in maybe widening my smile, so i can have a nice full one?

Why Won’t My Dentist Remove My Loose Teeth?

Friday, July 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark. I have very loose 2 front teeth which have been nearly knocked out so I now haven’t got no nerves going through them which makes them look sort of see through. I think they’re dying. I asked my dentist to remove them but she refused (she said they’re fine but I can see and feel how loose they have become) so I am now looking for veneers now if you can help me please as I don’t think I could cope with a palate denture. I feel that veneers are the best solution for me and I think I’ve got all of my other teeth really white just these 2 at the front, which are letting me down now and depressing me so bad. I’m not sure how I can go about getting them fixed and I’m not sure who I should visit about this now as I feel my dentist doesn’t really care that much about helping me, especially when I went about my loose teeth.

I Want My Gummy Smile Fixing, Can You Help Me With This?

Thursday, July 4th, 2013
Q.

Hi,  I am very interested in having my gums cut and raised up, Gingivoplasty I think its called. I have a bit of top gum showing when I smile that I don’t like giving me a gummy smile. I’ve always had this gummy sort of smile and I’m fed up with it now, it makes me feel self-conscious and I just want to get rid of it! Can you please give me an estimate on getting this done and would you be available to do it the first week of August? I contacted you in the past to get a quote for a full top layer of veneers to hide my gums but this procedure is much more suitable for me I don’t think. Look forward to hearing from you. Just a general sort of idea would be great, thank you for the advice in advance. Kind regards.

What Toothpaste Should I Use For Taking Care Of My New Veneers?

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I have just had porcelain veneers fitted and wanted to know what is the best toothpaste to use that won’t scratch or dull the surface?

I have only just recently had them fitted, about a week ago. I would like to keep them for as long as possible because they did cost me a lot of money. Unfortunately, I forgot to discuss with my dentist which toothpaste would be good for keeping them clean. I know a lot of toothpastes on today’s market are quite abrasive to actual teeth, never mind on veneers. Are there any toothpastes available that are especially designed to work on veneers for example? I don’t mind how much the toothpaste costs, it would be ideal if there was one available that would help my veneers last longer, maybe have a protective coating for example? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you for any advice in advance, kind regards.

I’m Considering Veneers Because I Don’t Want My Teeth Shaving Down, How Much Should I Expect To Pay For This Treatment?

Friday, June 14th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am considering some cosmetic dental work. When I was young I broke my 2 front teeth and so I already have 2 veneers, I don’t want my teeth ground down so I am considering lumineers. How much on average do these cost and how do I go about finding a local dentist that can perform this kind of work?
The reason I want this done is because my teeth are quite stained, I have recently had teeth whitening but have not received the desired shade of white. Are there any other treatments you can recommend?

Can You Get Lumineers Done On Teeth Which Have Been Filled?

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello there Dr Solanki. I have a slight problem that I hope you can help me with. I’m looking for some advice as to whether or not it is possible to have lumineers on filled teeth? Basically, there wasn’t a massive hole so the filling isn’t too large and I’ve been speaking to a friend who has had extensive dental work done in the past, however they seem unsure so wanted an expert opinion. Also, after doing a little independent reading around the topic it seems that staining could be an issue? I’m a little confused so would appreciate it if you could clarify. Thank you.

Is it really necessary for me to have an operation to fix my overbite?

Friday, December 7th, 2012
Q.

Hiya Dr Butt. I wondered if you would be able to advise me on an issue I have been suffering with? I have an overbite and slightly crooked teeth and have been told by an orthodontist that i need to have a jaw operation and a brace fitted to give the best result. I am not keen on this route and wondered if i was able to have veneers fitted instead, or veneers fitted and a invisalign brace as i am not keen on having the operation, i am 37 years old and am not confident with smiling and just want a quicker result.Any advice would be great a general idea of prices might be good too! thank you.

Is there any way I can have my teeth straightened without the use of braces?

Thursday, December 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi Doctor Shaffie. Can you help? One of my teeth next to my right tooth is pushed back and the one next to it is higher and is pushed forward, what would i need to do to get a straight smile without having to have repetitive treatments? and how much will it cost?

this has been a problem for many years and need help but i do not want to have braces because as my teeth come out straight after time one of them is of coloured so they would look horrible. The issues are causing me to feel extremely self conscious and i need something doing about it right away.
