I would like a Hollywood smile. What are my options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

hi there dont really know what treatment I need as my teeth are fine but I have gaps inbetween the bottom set. They are very discoloured & i would basically like a hollywood smile as I havent smiled in pictures for years as i am so embarressed about my teeth. can you recommend what I need to look into & how much it would roughly cost. I use to be a smoker so that hasnt help. I am just so fed up of covering my mouth everytime I speak to someone my confidence is so low due to my teeth. I have a very special occasion coming up and want to look perfect & I know with beautiful teeth my confidence will grow. After having my 1st child I had the gaps filled in my top set due to gum infection this was on the nhs but still not happy . my dentist has said that my teeth are very strong but they just look so unattractive. Nobody has commented my husband thinks I am perfect but without a beautiful smile I just dont feel it. I have no idea how to go about this & what I need done. I am a mum of 2 & 32 years old & do feel guily about spending on my teeth but I know If i get this done family and friends will see a big diffrence in my confidence. thank you so much for your time.

How can I ge my teeth and fillings the same colour?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I’m wondering if I will be able to get my teeth to a universal colour after having had some work done whilst I was a smoker.

I had some enamel and filling work done on my teeth about a year ago when I was a 20-a-day smoker, the new enamel was coloured to fit in with the colour of my teeth at the time. Now that I’ve given up, my teeth are getting whiter as I clean them with whitening toothpaste, but the parts that were filled remain in keeping with smoker’s teeth.

I have also just had a crown fitted too.

So, what I’m curious about is whether my teeth can be whitened safely (I also have quite thin enamel, also I’m using toothpaste to help this) so as to be a consistent colour all over.

I hope I’ve explained it correctly.

Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Q.

I broke a large amount of my front tooth around 10 years ago. I had my tooth crowned. I have now noticed that my crown appears to have twisted, possibly dropped from the gum and changed colour. Is this possible?

I need to quit smoking to have implants so is bonding an option?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Q.
I am aged seventy two and I have had upper crowns and bridges for about twenty five years, now two of the teeth are crumbling inter palatally. This involves the left central incisor and the canine tooth. The remedy which has been suggested is to cut of my bridge between the central incisors, have the teeth removed on the upper left and then have implants. Until I get a new bridge I will need to wear dentures, the estimated cost for this is £9k. There will be two dentists involved in this; one says that I must stop smoking and the other dentist say that I do not need to. At present I am hoping that “cosmetic bonding” is an alternative. My questions are. Could “cosmetic bonding” prevent the offending teeth from additional crumbling? If implants are the only solution, will I need to stop smoking? Many thanks.
