I Have A Gap Between My Lateral Incisors And My Cuspids, The Gap Is Down To The Shape Of My Canines. Would Filing Them Work?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I like your help with a problem. I have a gap between my lateral incisors and my cuspids. The gap is down to the shape of my canines, which makes me have this space where my bottom cuspids should be. I’m currently undergoing orthodontic treatment and am wondering if I could somehow have those spaces removed, I really dislike them! Will teeth filing do anything? Should I wait until the orthodontic treatment is finished before fixing this problem? I could send you some pictures of what I’m talking about so you guys could help me in greater detail. That would be brilliant. Thank you for your reply beforehand!

Can I Get My Teeth Filed Down For Cosmetic Reasons?

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hi there,
Over the years my front two teeth have started to chip away..there are only a few small chips and I was wondering if it was possible to get them filed down? This doesn’t cause me pain at all, it’s purely for cosmetic purposes really so I am not in need of urgent surgery or anything. If it is possible to get them down how much would that cost roughly?

Also one of my canines is discoloured and the surface is not like the rest of my teeth. It’s bumpy and rough. I’m not too sure what had caused it but is there anything I could do to change the colour and smooth the tooth down?

Has My Dentist Filed My Tooth Too Much?

Thursday, January 24th, 2013
Q.

Hello I recently chipped my front tooth On thurs. I went to a dentist on Friday. My chipped tooth was bonded with a white filling and then filed. I have noticed that my front teeth are now not the same length as they were previously. The newly filled tooth is a shorter length is this normal? Or Did the dentist file the tooth too much?
Now I’m conscious of my two front teeth not being level. Is there anything I can do? Can white filing be added to make the teeth the
same length ?

I take pride in my teeth and was always proud of my teeth when I smile, now because of this I feel I cannot have a confident smile as before. I would be extememly grateful if you could answer my questions and let me know what you recommend I should do. Should I go back to the dentist who was not my usual dentist but I went because I could not get an earlier appointmentwith my main dentist.

Can a dentist file my ‘fang’ like teeth?

Friday, July 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hi,

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

I chipped a tooth and the edge is sharp, what do you advise?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

Andrew, I think i’ve chipped a tiny little part of the inner biting edge of my front tooth in the corner off as when I run my tooth vertically between my front teeth it feels like a sharp knife and my tongue feels sore. Is there anything that I can do to get the tooth edge smooth and straight again? Will the sharp edge smooth out in time with brushing or dental polishing or would the edge have to be filed slightly? If something can be done, would I have to get a cosmetic dentist to fix it?. Thanks

My teeth were filed down in preparation for a bridge but now the dentist says I can’t have them. What can I do?

Friday, December 17th, 2010
Q.

Good Evening. I have had my front teeth prepared for a fixed bridge. My 3 natural teeth were filed down and temporary bridge cemented on. It looks quite hideous to be honest, but I was prepared to put up with this in the expectation of a decent bridge, but dentist has told me he will do one long bridge over the filed down teeth now, instead of 3 crowns and a bridge fitted to these, as you say is how they are fitted. I am really fed up and want to confront this dentist, but he is a bit of a bully, so i need to be clear on what I can and can’t have. He told me, before the prep work, that my 3 natural teeth were strong enough to fit the bridge. Can you help, or advise, please. Thanks for your time.

A.
