I have a tooth inside my upper gum, should I get it removed?

Monday, August 6th, 2012
Q.

I have never been confident about my teeth, which results to me talking less and smiling without revealing my teeth. I find it hard to get along everyday life.

I have a tooth literally on my upper gum, it’s been there since I was about 10, is there any possible way I can get it removed? How much would it be? The tooth isn’t rotten or anything, it doesn’t hurt either, but it can be a bother sometimes.
Adding on “Hollywood” teeth straightening and whitening? How long will the process take? How much will everything cost together?

Can I correct my smile with orthodontics rather than using veneers?

Monday, April 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi,

I have regional ordonto displacia ( not sure on spelling). I was diagnosed at 3years old. I have it in my upper left quad and only 4 teeth there (that have grown through for a 3rd time). These teeth have been brought forward using orthodontics and then capped to reshape them to their new function. The front tooth however is an implant.
I have always been self concious of my teeth/smile and since my treatment finished 4 years ago at the age of 21 I have little more confidence. The problem I have is that my implant is smaller than its natural partner and the line of my implant and caps goes up! Meaning that all the teeth on that side a smaller and not symmetrical to my normal side. My centre line is also slightly over to my left.
I just want to know what I can do to have a perfect smile to be proud of, after so many years I am not keen to have veneers as these will render my previous pain worthless.
the work done is great and I’m very grateful but I still can’t bear to look at my teeth up close.
the caps are also now cracking… HELP?

I have had gum problems in the past, would I still be suitable for veneer treatment?

Friday, April 13th, 2012
Q.

Hi,

i have a question about vaneers, and gum problems.

I have severe gum problems on my bottom teeth, the gums have been receeded since i was a young child, i think primary school. I do my best to look after them now but they do get gradually worse each year. the front two teeth also happen to be quite long. I know there isnt much i can do about the gums now other than make sure they dont get worse, however my question is can i get vaneers and not damage them more. My top teeth are overcrowded and my front two teeth in particualar are rather large, with one now overlapping slightly. As the bottom two teeh are also large as well, i can see them looking all that nice just straightened (or if they would even fit!) so i wanted to get vaneers in the hope of reducing the size of my front teeth at the same time. is this somethign that is even possible or that i can have done with damage to my lower gums.

Thanks

I am 23 years old, would porcelain veneers be a viable option to correct my smile or should I have braces?

Monday, April 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes,

I’m 23 years old. I wore a brace when i was younger, and still wear my retainer but am not quite happy with my teeth.

Am I too young to get 10 upper porcelain veneers? I’ve heard very mixed opinions about this. On one hand, if my teeth are quite straight then not too much grinding should need to be done but, if veneers last about 15 years in total then they will need to be replaced 3 or 4 times in my lifetime. Is this possible?

What are your opinions on this?

Thanks

Can Invisalign be used unnoticeably with a dental bridge?

Monday, March 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I have recently been reffered to an orthadontist to have invisalign braces, i am really excited about starting my treatment but have been told i need a tooth removed as it is a milk tooth, i have had previous treatments but the tooth is unable to be saved, i also had a bridge fitted on the opossite side for the same problem which also needs to be removed as it is ill fitting, my question is as i will have noticeable gaps at the front of my mouth, when the tooth and bridge are removed can the invisalign help to hide this hile my teeth are being moved? i work in a environment where i am constantly talking to people/customer and am worried that i will feel very concious with gaps.
Please help!!
Thankyou

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 just need one tooth straightened, what is my best option?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I was hoping you could give me some advice. I am a 20 year old female, and when i was 16 i had metal braces to straighten my teeth through the nhs. My orthodontist made a great job and i was very pleased with the results. However, i stupidly kept forgetting to wear my retainers and one of my lateral incisors has pushed back between my front incisor and canine. (apologies for my wording here i dont know the correct names for the teeth!) The rest of my teeth are fine but as you can imagine that one tooth is making my smile crooked! Can you help me and tell me the best way to resolve this, preferably without going through 2 years of braces again! I just want to push that tooth back out! I am willing to pay whatever it costs! Can you give me any help? Thanks.
