I am considering a smile makeover but my main aim is to make my teeth look bigger. Can you recommend treatment?

Monday, October 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr, I’m considering a ‘smile makeover’. My problem is that my teeth are quite small. There are no gaps or noticeable deficiencies (structure etc is fine) but very small dents and prominent fangs. Is there a way of making the teeth look bigger and would it be better to get full lumineers or a smile makover which included bonding, whitening and reshaping? Many thanks.,
A.
In most cases reshaping will r… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
I had 4 porcelain crowns fitted that were too long. My dentist filed them down and they are now the correct size, but they feel really rough.

Dentist has recommended clear fixed braces for my irregular bite, but could I instead have something like veneers or crowns?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
i am writing hoping you can give me some advise. i have visited an orthodontic dentist and they have the recommended the following treatment for me. This is what i was told i have an irregularity of the top teeth and irregularity of the bottom teeth. when the teeth bite together the top front teeth are prominent than average this called an increased overjet. My overjet is 5mm. The vertical overlap of the front teeth is increased. The top front teeth are centred and the bottom front teeth are across to the right. The side teeth do not mesh together perfectly. My examination of the jaw shap shows the bottom jaw is smaller than average such that in profile the chin is slightly receding. X rays confirmed that i have a number of missing teeth. The x ray also shows that the upper right second preomalr is impacted and unerupted. I can have fixed clear braces for the best results but would like to know if there is alternative treatment like veneers crowns etc,

Would veneers be suitable for my chipped teeth which was caused by acid erosion?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
I used to eat alot of citrus fruit as a child and it has left me with acid erosion. My two front teeth are fragile and occasionally chip slightly, however its usually not very noticeable and they usually manage to smooth themselves out eventually. However they have recently chipped again. My dentist says that i have a good set of teeth and veneers may look fake. But i am not happy with them just now and i do not want them to get any smaller, i want them to be smoothed out and lenthened to there original size but to still look like my own teeth. i have had composite bonding but it doesnt last long before falling off and taking away more of my teeth. Do u think veneers would be a good option? if so can u recommend a good dentist in the glasgow area as my dentist doesnt sound confident on doing the job i would like?,

Should I go for root canal and then crowns or veneers on badly worn tooth? These are two dentist’s different opinions.

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Q.
In the states, the dentist wants to do four root canals and then crowns on the lower 4 front teetch, as they are badly worn from a major overbite. The Costa Rica dentest says why ruin good teeth as the roots are very strong. I understand that porcelin does not do well on dentyn and needs to be on enamil which I don’t have any.
