A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider having a veneer placed on the tooth. This is a thin layer of porcelain which can be used to alter the size shape and colour of your tooth. The shade of your veneer could be chosen to match your other teeth, hence creating a more uniform look to your smile. Although the costs will vary between practices, you should expect to pay between £400 – £600 for a veneer. Many cosmetic practices who offer these services, will also have the facility to offer payment options such as interest free credit to help spread the cost. I hope this will be of assistance to you.
Kindest Regards

I just had a 6 unit full porcelain bridge placed in December of 2009, I just noticed a very tiny chip in between my two front teeth. Is this repairable?

A. Thanks for your question, it is possible that the dentist would be able to repair the chip without removing the bridge.
Many Thanks

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.

Hi, I am 15 and have suffered from amelogenesis imperfecta my whole life. At the moment, all of my molars have stainless steel caps on them and most of my teeth are heavily restored with amalgam fillings. Apparently, these restorations were stronger when I was younger, but now I am getting bullied at school because it looks like I am chewing tin foil all the time! Is it possible to get these replaced with tooth coloured restorations and can this be done on the NHS?

A. It might be possible to get porcelain crowns on these teeth, ask your dentist to see what he might be able to do on the NHS for you.

Hello I had bulimia in the past and my teeth are heavily damaged, the front teeth especially have lost enamel and left ugly yellow marks that brings down my confidence. I am considering teeth whitening. Would this make the yellow marks disappear? Thank you for your time

A. I have treated a number of bullimic patients and if all the enamel has been removed the teeth will not whiten,  better option is bonded fillings or porcelain veneers or crowns.

I had porcera crowns fitted in india about year ago but I have slight chips on the edges caused I think by grinding my teeth. Could these chips be repaired? Thank You.

A. Sometimes they can be repaired but it is highly likely they will re chip, one option is to have them replaced but ensure your dentist looks at your bite you may need to wear a bite guard at night.

your bite may have to be propped open during treatment to allow the teeth to move

Dr. Moore, A year ago, I had a composite filling put into my front tooth. A few days ago, the bottom part of the tooth broke off in two places and the composite filling from the front remaining part to the top has come out completely; leaving only a thin part of my real tooth behind. Is this tooth salvagable for a crown?

A. Without seeing you I can’t tell for sure but it is usual for a there to be still enough tooth for a crown even after a breakage.
