Hello! I’m 17 and I have bad teeth. I had my root canal done on the front tooth (it hurt sometimes, not sure if It’s normal). I’m emarrassed to go to the dentist because I’m too young to have such bad teeth..I really like the shape of my teeth, but they’re not white…actually, I’m kind of obsessed with my teeth and I don’t feel comfortable. Also they are demineralized so my dentist told me that I’ll never be able to do the teeth whitening. Hope you can help me! Is there any chance that MY teeth can be beautiful without any veneer or drilling the surface (enamel). Please help me!

Is it possible to have just 6 teeth prepared for veneers? Or is it standard practice to have more?
Wednesday, October 17th, 2012 Hi i am thinking of possibly getting veneers. It seems that porcelain are better, or Lumineers from what I have read. I was thinking of perhaps getting my top six teeth done and then whitening the rest of my teeth. My teeth are not in terrible shape but stained partly from smoking a little and i have been grinding a little also. Is this possible to do or is it more usual to do more including the bottom row. Any advice would be most welcome.
Kindest regards.
How much would veneers and whitening be?
Wednesday, September 26th, 2012Hi
I have been considering dental veneers and teeth whitening as I’m not happy with my teeth. I have fangs next to my big teeth which are not too bad but I would have them out of choice. On my right ride next to the dang I also have a tooth which has grown higher in the gum than it gum than it should have (when I was younger the tooth grew whilst my baby tooth was still there and then the baby tooth fell out) and as a result of this when I smile it looks as though I am missing a tooth. My dentist told me this could only be corrected by a brace however I’m not keen on this as I worry it may move my other teeth which are straight and fine as they are. Is this something that could potentially be corrected with a veneer? If so what would the approximate cost of 3 veneers and teeth whitening be? The staining on my teeth isn’t bad but is probably too much for my age. Thank you.
Can I have veneers for very prominent front teeth?
Monday, September 3rd, 2012I’m from the UK and 24 and I actually need braces but I’ve given up on ever getting them. The one thing that really effects my confidence is I have a dead discolored tooth. The options I believe to have is a veneer or tooth whitening. (My dentist is not very good and I’m in the process of switching) I know neither are cheap. Can I actually get a veneer if I have really prominent front teeth? And what is the cheapest deal I can get. Thanks in advance
How much should I expect to pay for a single tooth implant?
Friday, August 10th, 2012Hello, Dr Moore. I wondered if you could tell me how much would I be expected to pay for, a single dental implant? I require tooth replacement in the upper back left of my mouth, as it currently has a huge filling in it and my dentist thinks it will need replacing pretty soon. I also think I may need braces, here is the situation: My teeth are not overly misaligned but I would like a nice smile with straight teeth. I feel tooth whitening may help my teeth also and I require a new veneer of my front left tooth which will need replaced following teeth whitening. What do you think, how much all of this treatment cost me?
I can’t afford cosmetic dentistry but I hate my teeth! What can I do?
Wednesday, July 4th, 2012Hi Dr, I currently do not pay for my dental treatment and just wanted to know if i can ask my dentist to improve my teeth and smile or are they limited, i cannot afford cosmetic dentistry but i hate my teeth, i have a crooked one, filling in my front teeth that are now discoloured, and my teeth are generally discoloured which i find extremely embarrassing, if i had my choice i would have them all out and get dentures, i am 50 yrs old and i do smoke, but i know lots of people that smoke and their teeth are not the same colour as mine, any advice would be appreciated and thank you for your time.
My porcelain crowns have turned yellow! What can I do about this problem?
Wednesday, July 4th, 2012 Hello
I had porcelain crowns fitted approx 10 years ago, (8 on the top teeth) when they were fitted they were a nice natural cream colour (not too white) and matched my other teeth. Unfortunately in recent years they have yellowed. A couple of my friends have commented on this too. When discussed with my dentist he says it is impossible to discolour. This leaves me not knowing how to proceed as I know tooth whitening does not work on crowns? I have read it is possible to remove glaze on crowns by hygienist cleaning but I dont know if this is the case? How can I now proceed as a smile i was once happy with has gone. kind regards.
I’m 16 and I have bad teeth, I can’t afford veneers so what are my options?
Thursday, June 28th, 2012Hello dr moore. I am 16 years old and i am really suffering because of my very bad teeth. They are very discoloured despite me trying lots of different tooth whitening treatments, I also have an overbite and individual teeth lay on top of each other or are crooked meaning they are chipped too. There are just soo many problems and now I really hate smiling and meeting new people. I asked my dentist about braces and she said I would have to pay because I am not classed as a severe case as I only want them to “look good”. As you can tell this is really upsetting me because my self esteem is so bad. I can’t afford veneers so what can I do?! Please give me some advice!
Could the six month smile work for me?
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012I have heard about something called the six month smile and was wondering if it could be something that would work for me. I have a gap between my front two teeth and slightly uneven teeth either side. It’s never been a massive issue but due to personal circumstances I would like to be looking my best. I also want my teeth whitened. Does the treatment mean that you can only have treatment that would take 6 months and also how can it work in such a short time when braces can take a few years?Thank you any any help would be great.
