Q. hi i got a single yellow upper front teeth. it looks very ugly . iwant to get rid of this problem .if i go for surgery how much it cost for me pls help
A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider having a veneer placed on the tooth. This is a thin layer of porcelain which can be used to alter the size shape and colour of your tooth. The shade of your veneer could be chosen to match your other teeth, hence creating a more uniform look to your smile. Although the costs will vary between practices, you should expect to pay between £400 – £600 for a veneer. Many cosmetic practices who offer these services, will also have the facility to offer payment options such as interest free credit to help spread the cost. I hope this will be of assistance to you.
Kindest Regards

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

Q. Hello, I have a front tooth that is rotting, it has turned black and does not look nice, I know I need the dentist but I have not had any good experiences with the dentist hence why I’ve put it off for so long, I know I have to go sooner rather than later but I’m worried about what they will do with the tooth in question, will they take it out or can they repair it?
A.
You need the check up before you can get down to details. The good thing is that you dont have to have anything done at the first visit , just decide on some likely options.

Q. I damaged my front tooth when i was younger this made it slack I was then given root treatment and in time my tooth started to discolour, it was then suggested i get an veneer, this venner looked good but after 3 yrs it chipped and I needed to get it replaced,my second veneer was only in for 2 weeks when it cracked from the inside.I was then given my third within 6 months this one became noticeably darker, my dentist advised me to get yet another, I am just home from appt and this veneer is slightly better but at my gum area all you can see is blackness. I did say that I was’nt happy with it but he expressed that is the best he can do with what he has to work with, my own tooth is black and yellow as he showed me. i am wondering if you could advise on any other options. thanks
A. Thanks for your questions, you may wish to consider having a crown on the tooth instead of a veneer. Although it would involve more preperation of the tooth, a crown would be much less transparent hence consealing the discolouration. I would recommend that you speak to your dentist to gain his professional opinion on the merit of this in your case. I hope that his helps.

Q. My two front teeth appeared to be thinning and therefore appearing darker for the last few months, however recently I managed to look behind my front teeth using a mirror and saw that there is a black mark on each one. Is this acid erosion and how do I get rid of this problem?
A. You need to review your diet to prevent this worsening and see your dentist

Q. my six front teeth are starting to rotten with yellow hole forming and turning gray. the front one has a hole going up to my gums that is gray as well. so i was wondering if there is anything i can do to prevent more decaying of my teeth?
A. Firstly you should get these teeth filled and then cut out sugary foods and drinks from your diet. The use of a flouride tooth paste will also help when brushing 2-3 times a day.

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,

Q. I have been a sufferer of bulimia nervosa for about 8 years now and have suffered very severe enamel erosion as a result of it – I haven’t been to see the dentist in a long time because I know my mouth is a disaster area and until I have managed to recover I don’t want any dental work done that I might later wreck again. I imagine my mouth is full of cavities etc so that will have to be treated and I was also wondering what the cost of cosmetic treatment would be? At the very least I would guess I need crowns on upper front teeth (front 6 at least) because they are transparant at the edges – every tooth in my mouth has a greyish discolouring where my teeth are turning transparant at the tips and are mostly yellow everywhere else so I will most likely need cleaning and whitening too. Could you estimate the cost of this treatment? Is treatment even possible do you recon? Thank you for your time.
A. I have experience treating patients with severe loss of enamel due to various types of acid damage. Often crowns are required due to enamel damage on the inside surfaces of the teeth. Due to the tongue position when you are being sick the damage is often limited to the upper teeth. Treatment in the past has cost from £6000 depending on how many teeth need to be treated. I also make a mouth guard that you can wear to protect your teeth during your illness. Please visit me for a free consultation if you wish to discuss this further.

Q. I was born with a discolouration on my teeth (a slightly yellowy checkered effect up close) due to how I passed through the birth canal or something like that! Would zoom whitening work on my teeth or would this only emphasise the problem? Thanks
A. hi many thanks for your email, with such intrinsic staining there are two outcomes with tooth whitening, the first is the problem will decrease and the staining will blend, the second outcome is that the whitening will emphisize the problem. the main concern is that until you try you wont know.
hope this is helpful.

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!

Q. Hi I have quite bad teeth, they are all crooked and miscoloured. I am looking to get them all replaced with brand new teeth so they are straight and white and makes my smile better. Could you advise any way I can get this done and what an example price could be? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you
A. hi many thanks for your email, the best thing would be to seek the advice of a cosmetic dentist to assess and plan your new smile, if your existing teeth can be used as a foundation then the cost may be around £15,000 – £25,000, if all your teeth need to be removed and dental implants used to give you new teeth the cost could be as much as £30,000 to £40,000. hope this is helpful.

Q. Hiya, my teeth developed without the enamel being there when i was younger and i’ve been left with ugly discoloured teeth. Am i still able to have my teeth whitened?
A.
If you have amelogenesis imperfecta it is unlikely that bleaching will help. You will need some type of porcelain restoration to replace your missing enamel

Q. My 10 year old son fell off his bike a nd broke his two front teeth. The dentist did a good job and thankfully his teeth haven’t turned black and died. Unfortuneatley the made up part of his teeth are a different shade from what was left and its pretty obvious. Is there any thing that can be done to make them look better.
A. Resurfacing the restoration may help but it depends whether your child will allow the dentist 30 mins of working time to achieve the best result

Q. After two nights using NiteWhite ACP 22% I noticed white stains on my teeth. Should I continue with the whitening or will the white stains get even worse and more noticeable? How can I get rid of these white stains? Is it possible to get an even color now or are these white stains staying ? Can the dentist get rid of them ?
A. The white stains are areas of enamel that were white before you started treatment but at a level that was not noticable. They become more pronounced during treatment but blend back in once bleaching is stopped

Q. I had a person on an ed website ask if brushing your teeth after purging (vomiting) is harmfull to your teeth. Is it or is that a myth?
A. Yes it is harmful to your teeth. This is because with are bringing up acids when vomiting and if you brush your teeth straight after this, this is very abrasive to your teeth.
