Good morning. I currently have six porcelain veneers which were fitted 25 years ago. They need replacing but because my gums have receded considerably, I have a very sensitive mouth and gums. I would like Lumineers without the pain of drilling my current veneers off and preparing the teeth. Can Lumineers be fitted over current veneers or do they have to be removed?

Monday, March 2nd, 2015Can You Tell Me If I Can Get My Crown Down Under General Anaesthetic? Sedation Doesn’t Work For Me.
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014Hi Dr Moore. Can you please advise me whether I would be able to have a general anaesthetic to have a crown done? I am extremely nervous and cannot bring myself to have it done even under sedation as this has not worked for me in the past. It is a tooth at the front that has broken before and my dentist has suggested a crown to fix it permanently. I really am very nervous and was even in tears yesterday just at the though of going to my dentist for her to have a look at it. I know this will probably be very expensive but it is the only way I feel that I can go through with it.
Is It Safe To Place A 5-Year-Old Child Under General Anaesthetic?
Friday, July 26th, 2013 Hi, I am writing for the problem of my 5-year old daughter’s tooth. Her tooth is decayed and had an infection over this tooth (swelling). I took her to the local dentist. She gave an injection there and immediately started to pull off the tooth. My daughter was screaming with the pain and I had to ask the dentist to stop it. It seemed to me that the anaesthetic didn’t work because she was screaming too much. Anyway, the dentist gave an antibiotic and my daughter took it almost a week. The swelling decreased then, but did not completely go away. I took her to another dentist because my daughter was not ready to go to the first one. I told the new dentist about the history. My daughter was scared on seeing the dentist and was not ready to open the mouth for a while. The dentist said he don’t want to take the tooth and it is better to go to a clinic where they will do general anesthesia and will extract the tooth.
My question: is it safe to do this in a 5-year old child? Is there any risk? Would it give any problem in future (affecting the development of brain)?
I would be very grateful for the answer. Thank you very much in advance.
I’m 15 And Hate My Gums But I Also Hate The Dentist, What Can I Do To Improve Their Appearance?
Thursday, June 27th, 2013Hi! I was wondering if you could just provide me with a small bit of advice? I have a very gummy smile and I think that gum contouring would be perfect for me. I have a problem though, i hate the dentist I feel physically sick when going to the dentist. I have hated it for years and this is the only thing that is stoping me from thinking about this option. Would it be possible for me to have a general anaesthetic I’m hospital for the surgery?? I’m only 15 and would it still be possible for me to have it or would I have to be over a certain age.Thank you for your help!

Could I get gum recontouring and teeth whitening done in one go?
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Hi I have had braces for two years and am about to get them removed. I have a ‘gummy smile’ though and I was just wondering if while wearing a retainer (obviously I could remove it during the surgery!) could I have gum contouring done? Also I would like to have my teeth whitened by laser. So could I have my teeth whitened and gum contouring done in the same surgery so I can be under general anasthetic? Thanks so much this will improve my confidence drastically!
