What treatment can I have for stained teeth?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr. Glaister, I wonder if you can advise me on the most effective treatment for my teeth. All of my front teeth are totally stained brown on the inward facing side of the teeth. I presume this is caused by smoking (which i have now given up)in the main and by the fact that my teeth have never been cleaned by a dentist. It would be great if you could advise me. Thankyou,

Can teeth with veneers and crowns be straightened?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Q.
Hello, Would really appreciate some advice as I live outside of the UK. I’ve had rather alot of work done on my teeth. I used to wear a wire brace when I was younger to bring in my eye teeth. (UK) Since then I had lost a tooth on my upper right, 2nd back from my eye tooth. As a result I have a gap which isn’t too noticable but my centre line from my front teeth and teeth next to the gap have moved to the right an slightly in the way. On my upper left, I have had crowns and a bridge as a result of my molars breaking from previous grinding.(Belgium). I also had lovely porcelain veneers on my upper front 6 teeth about 10 years ago (in UK). I’m now in the process of getting old mercury fillings replace to white porcelain inlays here in Belgium. I have slightly larger than average teeth but not unsightly. I’m still unhappy with my smile as I find that they are going more to the right, off centre and the upper front left 3 teeth are slightly more buck teeth than the left due the gap on the right. I feel this could be sorted out with the 6 month smile..? Or some kind of brace..? Even though my dentist thinks they look great..but knows they are off centre but won’t offer any solution. I feel after the birth of each of my 3 sons births during the last 5 years, my teeth have got more off centre and buck on the left! With all of the above, my question is can teeth with veneers, crowns, still be straightened without tension that would ruin the veneers. My confidence has been down re my smile for years.. Please just let me know it’s possible without redoing everything again?!!,

Q.
My two front teeth are not level with my cupids bow and the teeth next to my front teeth are not the same size. I know I can have veneers to make them level but can veneers be used to make my front teeth level with my cupids bow or will they always be to the side of my mouth?,

What can replace unnatural feeling veneer?

Friday, January 15th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Caplan, Years ago I had a porcelean veneer put on my front tooth replacing bonding material originally used to fix the the results of a biking accident. Initially the veneer provided asthetic benefits of not staining and restoring stucture, however I think it was too agressive a treatment. Cosmetic Dentistry has come a long way since then and I’m wondering if there are alternatives such as composite bonding which would allow me to remove the veneer which feels unnatural. I have larger front teeth but wanted to shorten/shape them anyway. Most of my original tooth structure is still in place and I’m wondering what options are available to me. Also, I’d appreciate your thoughts on holding out for the possibility of one day resoring the tooth using enamel regeneration which apparently is becoming more of a reality: http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/ChemScience/Volume/2009/10/Enamel_regeneration.asp Thanks for your time and insight. Cheers. -,
