admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:58:00 +0000

Q. Hello, I am interested in the option of cosmetic bonding as my teeth are slightly even and discoloured. I would like to know the kind of prices that this would involve (I understand this will vary from dentist to dentist so just a rough idea would be great) Thanks

A. Thanks for your question, you are right in that the prices will vary between practices, but you should expect to pay between £80 – £150 for this treatment.
Many Thanks

How to protect the teeth if they have front teeth bonded?

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:04:32 +0000

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!

What would be the cost for cosmetic bonding?

admin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:49:48 +0000

Q. Hi my front teeth are perfectly together, however there is a small gap at the outer edge of them between the next teeth. I was wondering how much (roughly) would cosmetic bonding cost to make them look perfect and also how long does it roughly take? ( how many sessions?) It is something that has bothered me for ages and it affects my confidence so I am hoping to get it fixed. Also i have moved to Uxbridge area of Middlesex, so are there any dentists that you know of who could recommend to carry out the procedure, although if required i wouldn’t mind travelling into London. kind regards

A. Bonding takes one visit to do following a consultation. It would cost anything up to anout £400 deoending on the size. I do not know of anyone in this area but im sure if you search for a dentist in that area in google you will find many.

Kind regards

How long I need to wait to replace bonding after whitening?

admin — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:29:17 +0000

Q. I have bonding, approx. 12 years old, on my two front teeth which are stained yellow. I am going to do an at-home whitening system. Do I need to wait 2 weeks after I’ve totally completed the whitening before I have the bonding replaced ? Thus, do I need to wait in order for my teeth to fully absorb & change color to the final “whiteness” in order to accurately match the bonding to the new white? Also, I’ve been told that I cannot do the ZOOM in office whitening because I have extremely sensitive teeth. Is this true as well?

A. Zoom is not advised for extremely sensitive teeth.
You should wait a week after finishing the whitneing before replacing the bonding to give them time to settle.

Kind regards

What are the options besides braces for closing the gap?

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 01:05:08 +0000

Q. I’m 15 years old, and have a gap between my two front teeth. Lots of my friends have recieved braces, but I was never offered, and I heard something about once your 16, you have to pay for them. I wondered what my options – besides braces – were for closing the gap, within a resonable price range.

A. If you have enough functional justification for NHS braces its free till 18 or 19 if your in full time education.
Simple ways to close gaps at 15 are bonding tooth coloured filling ( cosmetic bonding ) to do a Diastema closure.
Once your gum shape stabilises ( aound 18-21yrs old ) Veneers are a googd option for diastema / gapclosure.
if you pay private fees expecty around £100 per tooth, but as the gap is usually closed from both sides £200 per gap. AN NHS dentist might do a simplified procedure for free.

Is it common to have half moons on the tooth tips and what are the treatment options available?

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:42:03 +0000

Q. Hi i have the start of tiny pittting to my front top 2 teeth but not decay. each tooth also has white half moons on the tips (i have been told these white markings are genetic) the white half moons change daily from white to yellow (have u ever heard of anything like this before). my dentist says i have 2 choices he can either bond my teeth which would enable him to tone down the white bringing the colour more all together or bleach my teeth. i dont know what to do? i dont want to damamge my teeth i dont want a holowood smile just a more uniformed coloured front teeth . kind regds

A. The white patches on your teeth can be caused by many things but often is due to a change in calcium metabolism at the time of the front teeth tooth formation. My first treatmetn of choice would be totry bleaching but please be aware tha tthe white spots will get a lot whiter and stand out form the surrounding teeth. However once the bleaching is finished you will find the white patches will fade to blend in with the whiter surrounding teeth. If you still need bonding or veneers this can be done later

I have chipped my front teeth is it possible to have tooth bonding?

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:13:40 +0000

Q. Hi there. I have recently chipped one of my front teeth. I do not wish to get it filed down as my other front tooth is a crown, and this would only make the crown look bigger! Is it possible to have tooth bonding on this front tooth? It is a small thin chip, and only noticable up close. If so does this need to be done privately or can it be carried out on the NHS? thank you for your time

A. Hi if this is purely cosmetic which it sounds like it will be a private treatment . if it is a tiny sliver bonding does not always work but is worth a go if it bothers you
