Q.
I had a veneer on my lateral incisor around 4 years ago. Last year I noticed that the tooth was discoloured around the gum line and had a bad smell/taste and feeling of pressure – never pain. After several courses of antibotics my Dentist performed root treatment, twice as it was unsuccessful the first time. My tooth still smells and tastes bad and my dentist is baffled – any ideas? I think perhaps there is a gap between the veneer and my tooth and that the front shell of my tooth is rotting, could that be the case – is there anything can be done? Thanks

I have quite a complex dental history and received 10 years of orthodontist care…. I had two operations when I was younger as I had an extra set of front teeth that were blocking the other set coming through. I had chains attached to my front teeth while they were still in the gums (am sure there’s a dental term for this!) and they were gradually pulled down with a brace. I didn’t get my front teeth properly until I was 17 and was brace free from 18, wearing a night retainer until I was 19-20. I had root canal treatment on my right front tooth approximately 18 months ago and then a replacement root canal 12 months ago…. through the NHS I requested to go back and see my old orthodontist at the dental hospital as I was concerned about the movement in my front teeth and how it had become discoloured. And I was unhappy with my NHS dentist… These are some of the comments made by my orthodontist in his letter to my regular dentist… I have: – a mild anterior open bite – somewhat spaced malocclusion – a mildly rotated left maxillary central incisor – a discoloured right central incisor I was discharged by my orthodontist but he is happy to see me again, and he has offered to correct the anterior and buccal spacing if this is something I wanted to persue. … and my gums are now receeding! My right front tooth has recently been causing me pain again and I am due to see my NHS dentist late december. At the last root canal treatment I had on my front tooth I also had it whitened but it has returned to its previous discoloured state. I have been thinking about veneers for a long time as I dislike the discolouring, wonky teeth and spaces BUT I’m a little bit clueless as to what would be the best option for me…. It is my two front teeth that concern me most, the discolouring and spacing. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

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

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?

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

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?

Q.
Hello, I’m considering having my two discolored front teeth capped. the only affordable option is with plastic caps. given today’s technology, are plastic caps of a higher standard than a few years ago, please? thank you. pat
