Hi Mark. I have been to 2 private dentists in the last 6 weeks. I have been disappointed with both decisions. I have 8 10 year old crowns. I have gaps and they are disgusting. I also have an overbite and receding gums. I have a partial denture and 8 natural teeth. My 2 canines are like dracula’s due to the receding gums. The first dentist they would remove the upper set of teeth but are not willing to remove the bottom set of teeth. They’ll insert an upper denture but it has to match the colour of my bottom teeth. I said, “if I’m paying you I would like all of my teeth removed please”. They refused. The 2nd dentist said, “I am sorry I am not willing to remove any of your teeth, they are still quite strong”. Even though a crown fell out of my mouth 6 weeks ago whilst eating. I was very disappointed and came out of the dentist disheartened. It has cost me a lot of money in X-rays and consultation fees. I still have these dreadful teeth that I have to live with and talk with. It is so embarrassing. If I went to a hairdressers and asked them to cut my teeth, they would do it. It’s shocking. What should I do?

I’ve Seen Two Dentists And They Both Refused To Extract My Teeth. What Should I Do?
Thursday, October 16th, 2014Would I Qualify For Fast Braces When I Have Two High Fangs? I Need Straight, White Teeth ASAP!
Monday, October 13th, 2014Hi Marcus, Could you tell me the best way to have straighten the teeth quickly if you have 2 high teeth (fangs) in the upper gums. I need this done quickly as jobs depend on this and I need straight white teeth asap. I have thought about having veneers but I’m not sure of the best place to go, either here or abroad. I would be very grateful for your advice, and if going abroad will be a lot cheaper could you advise me of someone reputable please. I basically need to know if I need to have the fang teeth removed and whether would this solve the problem?
The Shape Of My Face Seems To Have Gotten Slimmer Whilst I’ve Had Braces. Is This Normal?
Thursday, July 31st, 2014Hello. If I was to get braces, would it make my face thinner and less chubbier or make my upper lip bigger? I’ve had braces for the last 1.5 years with no extraction. I had them as my canines made me look like Dracula. I have noticed that the shape of my face has changed quite a lot. Is this because of the braces? Before I had a chubbier face but it’s become thinner. Will my face get back to normal? I miss the structure and shape of my face before I had braces. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your advice.
My Young Son Plays Rugby And Is About To Get Braces. What’s The Best Way To Protect His Teeth?
Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 My son had one of his front teeth broken with a cricket bat when he was 9 (he has about half the tooth left). He had it filled to rebuild the tooth but has knocked it out or lost the filling 5 times since. He is now 12 and plays rugby. What is the best way to protect his teeth? Are there any mouth guards that have added protection for protecting already damaged teeth? Is there a long term solution that will make it stronger and at what age should that work be completed? He is due to be referred to the orthodontist to correct his ‘fangs’ in the next month.
Many thanks.
I’m Due To Get Married. I Would Like A Smile To Be Proud Of. How Much Does A Smile Makeover Cost?
Tuesday, March 25th, 2014 Hi Mark,
I am getting married in September and would like to have a smile I am proud of. I am currently really self-conscious about my teeth, they are crooked due to not being offered a brace as a child and are yellow.
I have a missing tooth at the front of my mouth (upper 10 I believe) which hasn’t fallen out, it just never grew. As well as a slight gap I have fangs. My bottom teeth are crooked from over- crowding.
It’s really getting me down and would like a complete smile makeover. I don’t know what would be best treatment wise or how much I’d realistically be looking to pay? Any information you could provide me with could help. Thanks.
My Canines Are Too Big. I Don’t Feel Comfortable Laughing Or Smiling. Is There A Cheaper Alternative To Braces Which Could Help Me?
Friday, March 21st, 2014Hi Dr Moore, hopefully you can help me. I have two big teeth (my canines). It makes me feel very uncomfortable to laugh and grin when taking photos. Can they be made smaller? If so, what is the name of the procedure and how much will it cost? Also because my canines are so big, my lateral incisors are very small. Can they be made bigger? So overall I have a nicer smile? I don’t want to wear braces so I’m asking you if there is a different and cheaper alternative?
Could You Tell Me If It Would Be Possible To Use Lumineers To Correct My Two Front Teeth?
Friday, February 21st, 2014Hello Andrew. Could you tell me if it would it be possible to use Lumineers to correct my two front teeth?
They are set back further than the rest and also sit a little lower. Ideally I would like my two front teeth to be sitting a little higher up the gum and set forward with the other teeth.
At the side of the two front teeth, I have little ‘fangs’ which are slightly turning into the direction of the two front teeth. I would also like to have these fixed.
Braces aren’t an option for me due to the nature of my work, I am also not a candidate for Invisalign. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
I’ve Been Considering Veneers For Ages Now. Would They Help Fix My Bucked Teeth?
Thursday, December 12th, 2013Hello Dr Moore. I’m 19 years old and I have been considering veneers for ages now. My teeth are straight but a bit bucked, they have small gaps but have stopped growing. When I bite I can rub the bottom of my teeth with my jaw clenched as my top half has moulding round my thumb as I used to suck my thumb when I was little. I also have fangs on both the bottom and the top and I hate them. I just never smile. I just wanted to know what would the price be for 12 teeth as I would rather this than braces.
Thanks.
I’m Worried That My Teeth Will Be Different Lengths As I Have Fangs That Are Shorter, What Can Be Done?
Friday, September 13th, 2013Hi Mark,
I would like some advice regarding what would be the most effective and least harmful option for my teeth. I have done a lot of research, however it is very difficult to find the best option.
My top front teeth have two “fangs” either side which are slightly shorter than the four front teeth and stick out more than the others. What would you suggest is the best option to sort this? I am worried that my teeth will all be different lengths if I have these two “fangs” sorted out and do not do something with the others?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Can a dentist file my ‘fang’ like teeth?
Friday, July 22nd, 2011Hi,
I have a crooked smile but I think the main problem is that two of my teeth are ‘sharpened’ i.e. into a fanglike shape from years of wearing….is it possible to have teeth filing services to cure this?
Secondly I have already undertaken a brace course in my teens, I believe my teeth became crooked after my teeth failed to ajust to my post treatment retainer, in summary I think my smile is now too far forward (i.e. a rabbit smile) is it easy to push teeth back?
Kind regards
