Q.

Hi, I’m looking into getting cosmetic dentistry but I do not know what the best option is, my main issue is the colour of my teeth and the fact that one of my upper front tooth overlaps the one next to it due to an accident when I was younger which makes my smile lobsided and crooked. Would I need veneers or is it not possible to readjust my teeth alignment so that it does not overlap? I would prefer to keep my two front teeth as they are distinctive to me and they are not a bad shape in themselves its just the overlapping that is the issue, I definitely want veneers on my there teeth though as my canines do not match in size and the rest are also not similar in shape and size. Its really getting me down now, I am 21 and have been thinking of getting my teeth done for 7 years now.

Q.

i have got weak, stained and broken teeth. i have also have had to have some of my teeth extracted from my mouth. i have fillings in mostly all my teeth, top and bottom. i suffer from tooth ache a lot and dont feel my dentist are doing what is needed for me. i would like to fix my broken teeth or replace these and also remove stains on my teeth. i wonder what would be best for me to look into so that i can regain confidence to smile again.

Hello,

When I was younger I had pretty bad mottling on my teeth, which I think was from flurosis.

When I reached the age of 13 I had some treatment on my teeth, which really polished them up and gave back my confidence. I think they bleached them, although I can’t remember for sure.

Now at the age of 22, I’ve found 5 of my top teeth have become discoloured and yellow tinged. In addition in between my front tooth and canine, there appears to be a thin dark mark lining the edge of my tooth. My teeth became like this a few years ago. Naturally, its knocked my confidence, and I would like to get it sorted.

I was wondering if there was any treatment avaliable, to whiten my teeth up a bit, and if you could give any roundabout figure of the cost.

Kind regards,

my mother never from a young imposed any sort of dental hygiene and through out my adolescents i continued oblivious to everything and for this i have suffered, i have a horrible smile and was wondering what you might suggest i do in this situation because its ruining my life and i just dont want to be disgusted when i smile in a mirror. help?

Hello Dr. Rob Tennet, i have 2 problems with my teeth

Number 1: they are yellow… i had tried whitening tooth paste for a long time(over 1 year) and not much changed.

Number 2:they are… not straight .

I would like to know what costs are involved in straightening and whitening. I also want to mention that i would not like braces…

I would like to have them at least straight in maximum 3 months, if that is possible.
Forgot to mention that I am 18 years old.

Dear Mark,

I am looking into getting my teeth whitened and wondered what you would recommend as the best option in your opinion – best results and least painful?

I am 30 years old and my teeth are a bit stained, so would like them nice and white again.

Also when I am looking into a dentist, should they be a cosmetic dentist to do this type of treatment? And how do I check if they are a cosmetic dentist as opposed to a normal dentist?

Thank you very much,

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

Hi There,
Im getting married in October abroad and am looking into lumineers as im a little worried about the shaving to my teeth to get it prepared. I was told by a dentist I visited that lumineers wouldnt work on the top as my teeth are big enough for the size of my mouth so would need to do a bit of teeth shaving. I am looking to have something done and I dont think tooth whitening would work as I have stained teeth not through smoking as I dont smoke ive just always had from childhood now into adulthood. I would like a beautiful smile for my wedding can you tell me how long it would take to have veneers/lumineers from first consultation how many weeks and how many times would I need to visit? Please could you let me know opening times or surgery I would only be able to make it on Saturdays, what is the first available appointment you have?

Q.

Hey Dr. Mark,  A female,I live in Jordan middle east, am 23 with a very bad experience with braces for 8years, which caused badly stained teeth, and i have been using dental composite (teeth facing) for the past 5 – 6 years.
I hate the way my teeth look, i wish to re-size them and make them brighter and get a perfect smile.

oh and i have 2 implants i did them 3 weeks ago.

My main question what do you think is better in my case lumineers or Vaneers? and for how long they last?
Many Thanks,
