Q. my two front teeth sick way out what could be done to fix them other than braces

A. hi many thanks for your email, the other option would be to use veneers/crowns to bring them back in the smile. however the teeth may require root canal treatment. there is a case on my website under goofy teeth which give you an idea of the type of treatment that can be achieved.

hope this is helpful.

Can veneers be fitted if one has gum disease?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:32:11 +0000

Q. I suffer from severe teeth grinding and i also have bad gum disease although i am only 34 and have never had a filling. i went away travelling and have not seen a dentist for over 5 years. i would like to know if i am treatable and what my options are for a smile makeover as my teeth are now yellowing, there is some movement and the gums are tender sometimes, I have started to become very self conscious and upset about it. Can veneers be fitted if someone has gum disease, what costs am i looking at or do you think i need false teeth?

A. hi many thanks for your email, it is difficult to say whether your teeth are savable or not the best thing would be to come for a free consultation where i can assess your mouth and give you some options on how to improve things for you.

which one is better veneers or crowns?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:15:48 +0000

Q. what is better veneers or crowns

A. hi many thanks for your email,

veneers are better if there is alot of enamel left on the tooth and the teeth to be veneered are not already heavily filled.

crowns are more destuctive as more tooth tissue has to be prepared but are more protective when the teeth are more heavily filled or there is little enamel left on the tooth.

hope this is helpful.

I m interested in permanent fangs which one is better option veneers or implants?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:01:58 +0000

Q. I am interested in permanent fangs. I’ve heard of two options– one where you can have your teeth sanded down to a certain point, and have veneers placed over them, and they would be like that, permanent, for 15 or so years before they needed to be replaced. And then the more expensive sort– titanium rod implants where the actual bone is modified to give VERY permanent-no-changing-your-mind-later fangs. Is there any more infortmation on these? More specifically, I’d like to know about the former, because I am interested in having it done. Are these permanent to the point where they will not fall off even eating tough things such as steak? To sleep with the

m on, and have them until the 15 years or so is up? Can you give any more infortmation about these, and if you do them? For how much, if so, and every fifteen years, will I have to pay again? And in the event that I may want to switch over from these to the titanium rod fangs– could I? Thank you.

A. You would need to visit your dentist

I ve big teeth could you suggest dental surgery to fix this problem?

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:54:13 +0000

Q. Hello I have quite big teeth, which I hate. I’d love to have dental surgery of some kind to fix this problem. I’m not quite sure exactly what I would need to have done though. What do you suggest?

A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider veneers. These are a thin layer of porcelain which is designed to fit over the front surface of your tooth, similar to a false finger nail, which can be used to improve the size, shape and colour of your teeth. The number of teeth which would need veneers to improve the overall aesthetic appearnace would depend on your smile. I hope this helps.
Many thanks

Can I hav just one veneer for my front tooth?

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:43:30 +0000

Q. Hello, i have a front tooth the goes back, the rest of my teeth are fairly straight, Could you tell me, would it be possible to just have one veneer on that tooth or would i have to have the whole lot done? best regards

A. Thanks for your question, it is possible to have a single veneer, to improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. However, whethervthis would be successful for you would depend on hoe far back the tooth is. I would recommend that you attend your dental practice for a consultation to discuss your options.
