What can I do to reduce the size of my central incisors?

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Q. Hi, My central incisors are rather large compared to my other teeth, I saw on the internet that the average size of the crownisabout 6mm and mine are well over 10mm. When I was younger I had a brace to bring down my canine teeth, this brace re-aligned my teeth nicely, however my central teeth still look(ed) large in comparison to the others. I have always been really consious about my smile and would love to have a smile that I am comfortable with. So, I was wondering what action I could take to reduce the size of my central incisors and a rough estimate of how much this would cost. Thanks in advance.

A. The detail to answer this can only be gathered by a clinical assesment. However teeth can be reshaped by filing down, veneers or crowns the cost varies a lot between these soultions and also if adjacent teeth need to be treated to blend in the appearance.A free initial consultation is available At StJohns Dental Birmingham, Call 0121 643 0610 for detailsRob

Capped teeth seems to stick to my lip a bit advice

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Q. Re:Capped Teeth I recently had my 2 top front teeth capped,1 is fine the other is much thicker causy my old tooth was knocked back years ago,so having trouble actually biting into food,have to break food or eat soft stuff.Also I seem to be lisping a bit.Caps seems to stick to my lip a bit,dry like.Will things get better in time or no? Had them done about 4 weeks ago. Thank you for your time.

A. Often an adjustment to the incisal third can solve these problems – this stops the lower lip catching on them , will make the edges feel thinner and the overall look improves

My dentist is going to cut my cap into four pieces to remove it, is this correct?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Q. Hello, my dentist done a cap on my tooth a year ago, but it was the wrong size, it has recently started to smell and cause me some discomfort. When he put the cap in the dentist filed the tooth below, is this good practice? Also he didn’t remove the nerve in the remaing part of the tooth, sould he have? I have now been informed by my dentist that it needs to be replaced (me footing the bill!). I am about to book my appointment, and am concerned about the dentists experience, he said that he will cut the cap, that’s already on my tooth, into four, for removal. Does this sound right, because I am very concerned about the remaining part of tooth underneath. Thank you

A. It’s best to cut the crown into pieces before removing it as this protects the tooth underneath You would normally only reomve the nerve if the tooth causes pain or an infection is present

Cost for silver tooth Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Q. Hello! I really want a silver tooth, and was curious on how its done, cost and if i dont like it can i have it removed? Thanks for you time!

A. Hi many thanks for your email a silver tooth is usually placed over your existing tooth but so not to look too bulky the tooth inquestion is prepared down a little to accomodate room, therefore if you did not like it you would then probably have to replace it with a porcelain veneer. the cost of a silver tooth varies from £600 – £1000 dependant on where you go for the treatment.

My 7yr old lost her front tooth when can she have implants?

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Q. Good day, i have a 7 yr old daughter, she once had non-hogkins limphoma, and when she was operated her front lower and upper teeth were removed together with the gums which bring out teeth. i want to know whwther she can get implants or not, i once visited one dentist who said she can only can implants at the age of 16, but now she keeps asking me that “when are my teeth going to grow”. i stay in zimbabwe in harare. i’d appreciate your help. concerned dad

A. You need to wait until she has finished growing approx 16 onwards,  she can wear an appliance to fill the gap until she gets older. It will be worth waiting for.

Should I need to wait for 6 months to treat my extracted tooth?

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Q. Hi i recently extract a tooth,now i have this empty space, the dentist said that he can do it in 6 months.is it true or is it possible for you to do it before and how much will that cost? regards

A. It is best to leave the area to heal for at least 12 weeks unless you are going to have an implant in which case it is best to have implant placed 3-4 weeks after the extraction.
