Q. My two front teeth appeared to be thinning and therefore appearing darker for the last few months, however recently I managed to look behind my front teeth using a mirror and saw that there is a black mark on each one. Is this acid erosion and how do I get rid of this problem?
A. You need to review your diet to prevent this worsening and see your dentist

Q. Dear Mr. Patel Let me allow that I introduce my problem.I am 21 and my cief complaint is my upper and lower crowding. Info – Relationship of frontal teeth: Overjet: 2-3mm Overbite 2mm, Midlines upper is OK lower 1,5mm to the left, Dental crowding severe, Crossbite UR2-LR3. Next year year I’ll study at London Business School and I think that this is good opportunity to correct my teeths aswell. I want to ask you is in this case possible to correct teeths with Veneers, removable braces or Invisaglin braces? Because I realy want fast solution and I think that veneers are the best but on the other hand I am also prepared for longer treatment and wear braces but only which I mention in upper text. I just want to hear your advice because everywhere offer me just Damonbraces and similar braces which I realy do not want to wear because they do not fit my lifestyle. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I am also prepared to send you photos of my teeths,smile,x-ray scans if this help you to give me advice.
A. Veneers can create a lovely smile but the downside is your teeth have to cut down, this means they will need a lifetime of treatment. As your teeth are already crooked it would be very difficult to create a nice smile with veneers without removing a lot of natural tooth. My preferred treatment would be orthodontics, invisalign is the most discreet, 6 month smiles is the quickest and damon braces are very good for very crowed mouths.

Q. I have had 4 porcelain veneers done in Sept 2009 on my front teeth and wish I hadn’t now as have had problems in that after the permanent ones were placed on one came off after 3 days as it appears I grind my teeth at night. I know the veneers are slightly longer that original teeth which i didn’t agree too and so now everytime i talk, they ‘catch’ with the bottom teeth. I am concerened this catching will lead to other falling off prematurely so want them altered so they are same length as original teeth. Will there be damage to underlying teeth if these veneers are taken off to be replaced?
A. They can be replaced without causing problems but the first thing to do is go back to your dentist and see if the bite can be adjusted. You may benefit from a nightguard that can reduce grinding.

Q. Several yrs ago I had 5 front teeth worked on. 3 are on a bridge 2 were on posts. 2 yrs ago one of the teeth broke off at the root (abssesed) and had to have it pulled. Now one of the front teeth which is on a post is loose. I went to a dentist and he tried to remove cap but couldn’t. He used what he called a blue bos. Felt like a hydaulic hammer. Now he says he will have to cut the cap off, replace the post & make a bridge for the front tooth, the tooth next to it (currently have to wear mouth piece and use one of my incisors for the bridge. My concern is what if the root which has had 2 prior root conals done on it (freak, yes) also breaks off at the root. The other side of this is fron tooth capped, next tooth capped, next tooth incisor tooth missing and part of bridge. So we are talking about my entire front teeth. I hope you understand and can help. I am worried. My dentist can’t get me in until Dec. 3rd, although he got me in in a week of never seeing him before and then again that very same day.
A. It sounds like you need to have the teeth fully assessed if they are that weak you may need to think about dental implants, which will provide you with new teeth and last a lot longer.

Q. hi, my teeth are quite small for my age. i’m 16 and only noticed this 1 year ago after an orthodontist pointed it out to me. My molars are maybe 2-3mm out of my gums and my other teeth are less than an inch out of my gums. is this strange or common, furthermore, my to front teeth overlapped as i grew up. is this related?
A. Size of teeth and crowding/spacing are related. The size of your teeth oftens relates to your general body size.

Q. I have just had my front four crowns replaced with all porcelain crowns as I wanted the most natural looking replacements for my old crowns. My front left tooth was root filled some years back and has become very dark, the problem is that the darkness is now showing through my crown, it looks as though it is a shadow or stain, I opted for the all porcelain in good faith, now I realise that the metal crown covered with porcelain would not have allowed the darkness of the old tooth to show through. This wasn’t mentioned as a possibility when I had my consultation and I am now wondering if there is anything my dentist can do to rectify the problem, I just feel as though I have replaced one worry about the appearance of my teeth with another!! I also feel that if I had known this was going to happen then i would have opted for the porcelain over metal crown. What should I do? the crowns were permanently fitted this morning and the dark shadow is really noticeable!
A. Thanks for your questions, firstly I would suggest that you go back to your dentist to discuss your concerns with them. If, as you say, the dentist did not discuss the possibility of an all porcelain crown not covering the discolouration caused by your root filled tooth, the dentist may be willing to discuss improving the results, may be even replacing the crown to acheive the aesthetically pleasing result you were expecting. I hope this helps, but would encourage you to contact me again shoukd you require any further assistance.

Q. hi i would like ask : the size of my front teeth are quite big and they stick out . i have had treatment in the past to straighten my teeth but im still not happy with the size on my front teeth. i would like to smile with confidence. is there any fink you can recommend? thank you so much
A. Hi, thanks for your question. Now that your teeth have been straightened, you may wish to consider having the front teeth veneered. When having veneers, the dentist would prepare the teeth (allowing them to make the veneers shorter than your natural teeth were) before fitting the thin layers of porcelain over the front surfaces of your teeth. Dental veneers can be used to improve the shape, colour, size and general appearance of teeth. I hope that this helps.

Q. My front tooth has been having alot of pain and just the other day my tooth has been feelin lose, i went to a dentist and he said that i need a root canal? is that the reason why my tooth has been feelin lose because i need a root canal ? Also i have had a root canal on the other side of the same tooth (left side), now i need one on my right side!
A. The abscess underneath your tooth can loosen your tooth due to swelling around the tooth. Following root treatment this should disappear and the tooth firm up

Q. hello there, i’m 23 years old and i hate my teeth. i have 2 large front teeth and have fangs either side. my bottom teeth are really crooked. can my front teeth be cut down? i don’t really want braces on show. what do you reccommend? roughly how much does it cost? and how long will it take? thank you
A. Although you don’t want a brace it might be your best option in the long-term. You could try a fixed brace such as 6-month smile cost approx £2500 or Invisalign from £3000. These treatments would take around 6-12 months to complete.

Q. My two front teeth are capped as is a back one which keeps coming lose. I would like veneers and when I smile have ten teeth top and bottom showing I can’t have whitening done as my teeth are very sensative what procedure would be necessary for me I also have a number of silver fillings
A. Thanks for your questions, firstly I should tell you that as your teeth have already been crowned, it will not be possible to veneer them. However it is possible to acheive a new smile by a mix of crowns and veneers. If you are considering a full mouth makeover, then you would be able to choose the shade that your teeth will be made in at the start of the treatment, avoiding the need for whitening. If you are just having uppers or lowers done, then the restorations would usually be made to match the natural teeth shades. If you decide to give the whitening a try, this would usually be done prior to the preperation of your restorations, as you can then choose the shade to match your whitened teeth. I hope this helps, but please don’t hesitate to contact me again should you require any further assistance.

Q. Hi, i hate my teeth at the moment. i go to a orthodontics and i wear a retainer to pull my jaw forward but my top two front teeth are big and i really dont like to smile cause i feel embarrsed. can anythink be done about it ? thanks.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the only option if the teeth are too big would be to make them smaller using veneers. this is only an option which may work for you. an assessment appointment would have to be made to ascertain position of teeth and expectations. hope this is helpful.

Q. How do you protect your teeth if you have had the front teeth bonded? And what type of toothpaste should you use to keep your teeth from staining?
A. One way to protect your teeth would be to wear a night guard to protect them during your sleep. Simple toothpasts form your local chemist/supermarket will do a good job to keep your teeth clean – you may want ot visit your hygienist as well!

Q. Hello I have a problem where my teeth from the k9s inwards are too far forward they are straight as the roots themselves are too advanced. I suspect I should have had braces as a child. The result is when my mouth is closed I look as if im wearing a gum sheild. I saw an orthodentist about 10 yrs ago who said he couldnt really make much difference. I wondered if techniques have moved on since and if you might be able to help?
A. hi
im afraid that without considering orthognathic surgery there may not be any other treatment that will help.
a referral to ahospital orthodontic dept will help with discussio on this as a option

Q. I have had a leaking abcess above my front left crowned tooth … some dentists say it is not a problem as the toxins can get out, but I have noticed that both Front teeth are now loose , is the infection eating into my bone ? I am considering a bridge as I cant afford implantology is that likely to be a problem .
A. hi many thanks for your email, if you have an abcess then the chances are the infection will be eating the bone. my advice is to get it sorted as soon as possible. a bridge is a good option to replace a missing tooth as long as the teeth holding the bridge are strong and healthy.
