Will my gold crown affect my chance of achieving a ‘Hollywood Smile?’

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi Mark

If i am honest I dont actually NEED veneers, my teeth are very healthy and of a good standard, However I am in the performance industry and there is always room for perfection.
However, I do have a solid white gold cap on my left canine which I wish to have replaced to… At the time i was told that this had been cemented on and will be permanent as my tooth had been filed down in order to complete this.
Tell me, will this effect me from getting the hollywood smile I am looking for and if not, what processes do I need to go through to obtain the perfect look?

Is my local dentist’s cheap veneer treatment too good to be true?

Monday, January 23rd, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Patel

I recently saw a deal on the net for Parkdent Clinic in Kensington, 4 veneers for £939. I thought the deal sounded too good to be true but to be honest I know very little about cosmetic dentistry. I have an appointment with this clinic on Friday but have been giving my teeth a lot of thought these past few days and I realise that I need to do some research before I go jumping into getting my teeth done because it’s a a cheap deal. The quality of the veneers is more important to me although I don’t have a lot to spend.

My 2 front teeth have a gap and the teeth either side are under-developed. I would like to replace these with veneers. £939 sounds like a great deal but is this not too good to be true? Are porcelain veneers the best option for me?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, 

A.

Help me to design the perfect smile, are veneer materials ‘the’ final word?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

I am seraching for a good cosmetic clinic in London or abroad. I found what it seemed a very nice clinic (well, their website looks great, the prices are quite high 825 per veneer and they seem to help to design a perfect smile taking in consideration facial features and many aesthetic factors)

However after some extra research I ve found that their veneers are just normal porcelain veneers not lumieers.

Therefore I think there are quite expensive considering I can get in other clinic lumieers for a much cheaper price than their veeners.

I thought the more I spend the better the result.Since I m spending a lot of money and but myself in debt with my bank I want to make sure to get the best result

I would very appreciate if you you could suggest me a clinic where they can help me to design the perfect smile im looking for .

I probably need about 22 veneers and i wouldn t like to spend more than 800 per veneeer.

Thank you in advance for any suggestion you could give me.

What can I do about my gap teeth?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

hiya there, i have a very large gap between my 2 front teeth and as far as i know i have always had it there. i dont really understand why its there, i always assumed it would close as i grew, what options do i have? i really hate it though and just wondered if it can be fixed and if so how much it would cost and what i need to have done ie: would it be more than one treatment or a course etc etc. would i need cosmetic dentistry or could i get it done at my normal dentist? if the treatment is costly can it be paid off in instalments or do you need to pay all upfront? thank you very much

I think I may need veneers in the future, how natural looking are they?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I’m 16 years of age and i neglected my teeth for just over 2 years and i had an x-ray and my dentist said 10 teeth could go wrong in the future so i took control and brushed my teeth 3 times a day and found out what my teeth really looked like, lines down the middle (probably because of the excesive amount of coke and pepsi i consumed) now i brush 3 times with durapat 5000 and rinse once a day with fluorigard, i’m doing my best but i think im going to need veneers/crowns in the future, i would just like some advice on am i doing all i can do in the time being, and are crownss/veneers natural enough so people couldn’t fool them for real teeth?

many thanks

Is bleaching and veneers the best option for my discoloured tooth?

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011
Q.

I banged and cracked my front tooth when I was about 9. I have had a root filling in it since then. Over the years and especially more recently it has become quite dark and discoloured. I have been told that this is internal. My dentist suggested I had a composite veneer and gave me an idea of what it would look like. I was quite happy with the idea. This dentist then left and my new dentist said that a veneer might not be enough and that I should have internal bleaching and then a veneer. I have read that sometimes bleaching doesn’t work and also composite veneers only last a year or two. I do not have a lot of money but do want to improve the look of this tooth, but I would like advice as to what would be the best value for money long term.

I live in Spain, but am I able to receive cosmetic treatments in the UK?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi mark!

I’m from Spain and got 6 veneers a year ago. I’m not very satisfied: they fall off very often and the appearance is not as fantastic as I though it would be.

I also have a gummy smile so my gums were lifted and now they look less rounded that what I would like.

Moreover, I would like to treat my hipermobile upper lip (in Spain the treatment is orthognathic surgery which is too agressive).

I would like to repeat the treatment again and after a long search, I would like to become your patient.

My question is if I need to proceed as a regular UK patient (book an appointment, then another, then another…) or if we could arrange a complete program of my treatment from here (duration and travel times, costs, etc). I can provide before/after pics and x-rays.

Thanks.

Would you recommed one porcelain veneer to cover my discoloured front tooth?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi I am reasonably happy with my smile other than my front tooth which is a little darker in colour due to banging it when I was younger. I was looking at Lumineers but I understand you do not think the end result it very good. I was wondering therefore would it be possible to have one porceline veneer to the front or would it be best to have two front poreceline. Thank you.

A.

You could have either. The… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
