Q. my two front teeth sick way out what could be done to fix them other than braces

A. hi many thanks for your email, the other option would be to use veneers/crowns to bring them back in the smile. however the teeth may require root canal treatment. there is a case on my website under goofy teeth which give you an idea of the type of treatment that can be achieved.

hope this is helpful.

Can veneers be fitted if one has gum disease?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Q. I suffer from severe teeth grinding and i also have bad gum disease although i am only 34 and have never had a filling. i went away travelling and have not seen a dentist for over 5 years. i would like to know if i am treatable and what my options are for a smile makeover as my teeth are now yellowing, there is some movement and the gums are tender sometimes, I have started to become very self conscious and upset about it. Can veneers be fitted if someone has gum disease, what costs am i looking at or do you think i need false teeth?

A. hi many thanks for your email, it is difficult to say whether your teeth are savable or not the best thing would be to come for a free consultation where i can assess your mouth and give you some options on how to improve things for you.

which one is better veneers or crowns?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Q. what is better veneers or crowns

A. hi many thanks for your email,
 
veneers are better if there is alot of enamel left on the tooth and the teeth to be veneered are not already heavily filled.

crowns are more destuctive as more tooth tissue has to be prepared but are more protective when the teeth are more heavily filled or there is little enamel left on the tooth.

hope this is helpful.

I m interested in permanent fangs which one is better option veneers or implants?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Q. I am interested in permanent fangs. I’ve heard of two options– one where you can have your teeth sanded down to a certain point, and have veneers placed over them, and they would be like that, permanent, for 15 or so years before they needed to be replaced. And then the more expensive sort– titanium rod implants where the actual bone is modified to give VERY permanent-no-changing-your-mind-later fangs. Is there any more infortmation on these? More specifically, I’d like to know about the former, because I am interested in having it done. Are these permanent to the point where they will not fall off even eating tough things such as steak? To sleep with the

m on, and have them until the 15 years or so is up? Can you give any more infortmation about these, and if you do them? For how much, if so, and every fifteen years, will I have to pay again? And in the event that I may want to switch over from these to the titanium rod fangs– could I? Thank you.

A. You would need to visit your dentist

Should I go for whitening or veneer for the tooth which had root treatment?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Q. I had root treatment on one of my front teeth years ago and the tooth has gone grey, would whitening help or would a veneer be preferable, if so how much would one veneer cost? Thanks

A. hi many thanks for your email, the gery tooth can be treated by internal whitening but this is sometimes unpredictable and even if the tooth whitens sometimes the colour can reverse.

the veneer is more predictable and long term, the cost of a single tooth veneer can range from £500 – £1200. dependant on where you go. my charge is usually £750.

hope this is helpful.

I ve big teeth could you suggest dental surgery to fix this problem?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Q. Hello I have quite big teeth, which I hate. I’d love to have dental surgery of some kind to fix this problem. I’m not quite sure exactly what I would need to have done though. What do you suggest?

A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider veneers. These are a thin layer of porcelain which is designed to fit over the front surface of your tooth, similar to a false finger nail, which can be used to improve the size, shape and colour of your teeth. The number of teeth which would need veneers to improve the overall aesthetic appearnace would depend on your smile. I hope this helps.

I have two chipped front teeth can I get crowns veneers from nhs?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Q. I’m 17 and still in college, I’ve got 2 chipped front teeth due to rough play as a child, also some of my adult teeth are missing according to an x ray they aren’t there so I’m stuck with rather worn down baby teeth. I never smile in photos and my teeth severly effect my confidence. Can I get crowns/vineers on the NHS?

A. You might qualify for NHS treatment but it is cosmetic treatment so I can really say for sure whether you will get your teeth sorted out on the NHS. Go to your NHS dentist and see what they can do for you.

Crowns fitted to my teeth are causing problem

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Q. Hi, I have recently had 4 crowns fitted to my front teeth. They were fixed with temporary cement at first and all of them fell off within a couple of weeks. Since being fitted with permanent cement they have been in place for a couple of months but they feel like they are moving. I have previously had veneers and they sometimes used to give a clicking sensation which i was used to yet with the crowns it is much more often. I am worried that the crowns are not fitted properly (especially as they fell off) and my own tooth may become damaged. My dentist says there is nothing wrong and not to worry. Can you please provide some advice?

A. You need to discuss this with your dentist

Is its advisable to replace veneers?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. Hello. I had veneers placed in my upper canines. However they are bulky and much bigger thay my original teeth. I would like to replace them. However I am worried that any further work done would damage my underlying teeth. How easy or advisable is it to remove veneers (they are well cemented)? Would you recommend replacing the veneers with no risk at all? Thank you.

A. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment so obviously if they don’t look right they aren’t right. Removing the veneer will entail trimming down some tooth tissue and if the veneer is how I suspect you will need even more tooth removing in the proces of making new veneers that are not bulk like the ones you have now.

Could you recommend any treatment other than teeth straightening

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. hi i would like ask : the size of my front teeth are quite big and they stick out . i have had treatment in the past to straighten my teeth but im still not happy with the size on my front teeth. i would like to smile with confidence. is there any fink you can recommend? thank you so much

A. Hi, thanks for your question. Now that your teeth have been straightened, you may wish to consider having the front teeth veneered. When having veneers, the dentist would prepare the teeth (allowing them to make the veneers shorter than your natural teeth were) before fitting the thin layers of porcelain over the front surfaces of your teeth. Dental veneers can be used to improve the shape, colour, size and general appearance of teeth. I hope that this helps.

Can anything be done for teeth staining?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. HI my daughter is 11 years old and has staining on her teeth since they grew through ( tetracycline) can anything be done as she is very self concious . Thank you

A. hi many thanks, the only thing that would help with the staining which is conservative at the age she is, would be direct composite veneers. i dont think this would completely mask the staining but would help massively. hope this is helpful,

Is there any possibility to extract as many teeth to hv avg smile?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. As an early teen I had chipped the top, front 6 of my teeth rollerblading. They felt loose for a while and had always bothered me the way they healed. It bothers me how my front teeth are displayed slightly misaligned to my left and with an overbite as well. The Army Dentist insisted on putting veneers over them. That never did anything to fix the misalignment problem of the front two top teeth being aligned under my nose. It seems the injury I must have suffered as a kid made the teeth grow in this way after they healed. I am disappointed and finished with the idea of trying to salvage my smile at this point in my life. I am wondering if you may be able to let me know if there is a possibility that there is a Dentist out there that would extract my front, top 6 teeth or as many as needed to have an average looking smile that is aligned under my nose. Thanks very much

A. if the teeth are healthy you should look into clear positioner orthodontics such as clearstep or invisalign

how much do lumineers cost do you do lumineers in manchester

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. hello i was wondering if lumineers are more expensive than other types of veneers such as mac or durathin veneers that i have been reading about on your website.

do you know of any clinics in ,manchester that do lumineers and how much this would cost?

A. Hello,

Lumineers are a thin type of veneer and the brand states that they need no or minimal preparation, you must note that lumineers are NOT right for everyone and after a consultation with your dentist you will get a better idea if they are for you. we offer lumineers at our practice and I am not aware of other manchester practices that do but you could do a search online for lumineers in manchester on google. 
If you are interested in veneers we do offer a Free consultation

My front teeth have crowns can I have veneers?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Q. My two front teeth are capped as is a back one which keeps coming lose. I would like veneers and when I smile have ten teeth top and bottom showing I can’t have whitening done as my teeth are very sensative what procedure would be necessary for me I also have a number of silver fillings

A. Thanks for your questions, firstly I should tell you that as your teeth have already been crowned, it will not be possible to veneer them. However it is possible to acheive a new smile by a mix of crowns and veneers. If you are considering a full mouth makeover, then you would be able to choose the shade that your teeth will be made in at the start of the treatment, avoiding the need for whitening. If you are just having uppers or lowers done, then the restorations would usually be made to match the natural teeth shades. If you decide to give the whitening a try, this would usually be done prior to the preperation of your restorations, as you can then choose the shade to match your whitened teeth. I hope this helps, but please don’t hesitate to contact me again should you require any further assistance.

My teeth are not straight could you suggest any method to cure this?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Q. i would like to get some details on which treatments would suit for me. my front teeth in the upper row are are little up and the teeth as a whole are not straight. can you suggest an efficient method to cure this? also i would like to know how long will it take for the entire treatment and its fee structure.

A. hi many thanks for your email, the first thing would be to assess your teeth, there are usually two ways to straighten teeth, the first using braces which can range from £2000 – £4000. the second is veneers which are a much quicker solution to crooked teeth but the draw back is the teeth do need to be prepared. the braces treatment can take upto 2 years in some cases but there are treatments such as six month smiles which move the teeth at a much quicker rate.

the veneers option would take a maximum of 12 weeks and costs can vary from £2000 – £10000

hope all this information is helpful.

My top two front teeth are too big can anything be done?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Q. Hi, i hate my teeth at the moment. i go to a orthodontics and i wear a retainer to pull my jaw forward but my top two front teeth are big and i really dont like to smile cause i feel embarrsed. can anythink be done about it ? thanks.

A. hi many thanks for your email, the only option if the teeth are too big would be to make them smaller using veneers. this is only an option which may work for you. an assessment appointment would have to be made to ascertain position of teeth and expectations. hope this is helpful.
