Would Lumineers be a good option if I wanted to widen my smile?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I would like to widen my smile and show my teeth more. My teeth are straight and in good health so I am not so keen on having veneers as it seems quite invasive. I am interested in having Lumineers, do you perform this procedure and would it help achieve the results I am looking for? Also, can teeth be made longer using Lumineers? How much does it cost per tooth to have Lumineers? Thanks,

I’m terrified that I’ll loose all my teeth and I don’t want invasive surgery. What are my alternatives?

Q.
I thought I had pretty good teeth, I am 53 and they are white and very good shaped. the Dentist said yesterday I have gum disease (deep kind at the bone) at back of both lower and upper. talking about gum surgery and other one hour sessions in the chair and lots of money I dont have. importantly I dont feel I can go through with the invasive side of this deep cleaning of root etc. Whats my alternative – would it cure me if I have them out – I just cant do this and I am terrified. I am manic about teeth and cant believe this has happened in 21/2yrs since all fine. whats the easiest way through it, general anaesthetic at dental hospital or have them out or what. Help!! Im sick with worry, how long have I got , will all my teeth fall out and how soon??????,

How invasive is the veneers treatment?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister I am considering offering to pay for my son tohave his teeth improved.I know the process will be expensive so would like to research carefully. One question in particular concerns the invasive nature of porcelain veneers. What is your view about choosing porcelain veneers over less invasive options in terms of best results. Many thanks.,
