My Brand New Porcelain Veneers Seem To Be A Different Shade To My Other Teeth. Will My NHS Dentist Replace Them For Free?

Friday, October 4th, 2013
Q.

I had porcelain veneers fitted 1 day ago on my two front teeth only. Before having them fitted I whitened them and let them rest. Before bonding them the dentist did show me the teeth in the mirror but due to having a shaky jaw it was difficult for me to see. The veneers are an excellent shape and fit, however the colour is slightly darker than the teeth next to them. It’s hardy noticeable to anyone else but it’s all I can see, I’ve spent £1500 with the whitening and the veneers and so expected them to be perfect. I had them done as I’m getting married and wanted a better smile. The treatment was done at an NHS dentist, do you think the dentist will replace them for free? Thank you.

I’m Interested In Getting Veneers, Will Previous Root Canal Treatment Stop Me From Getting Them?

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello, Dr Gambroudes, I have a number of questions for you. I’m really interested in getting veneers for my four top front teeth, they are slightly crooked and the front two have been repaired before after I cracked them at work. I’ve also had root canal treatment on one of the teeth beside the front two, will any of these repairs cause me not to be able to get veneers? My teeth are currently discoloured as well and I really want nice white teeth as I’m really embarrassed by them. Do you have any idea how much it would be for these?

Thanks.

I Have A Couple Of Chipped Teeth From Playing Rugby But I’m Worried It Could Cost Upward Of Twenty Thousand To Get The Smile I Used To Have?

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013
Q.

I chipped my front four teeth in rugby and apparently I brushed my teeth too hard as a child, my teeth are perfectly straight, I just want to fix the chips and nicks in my front four teeth and whiten them all so I can have the smile I used to have and feel confident again, how much do you think it will cost, it’s all relatively minor work, and then some whitening because my teeth are frustratingly resistant to home whitening, my teeth were perfect until I banged them up playing sports now the front four are chipped, I was worried when I saw these 20,000 dollar price-tags but my local dentist says there is really nothing he can do for me, any information or advice?

There are lots of potential op… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I Am Unhappy With My Whitening Treatment.

Monday, August 19th, 2013
Q.

I had my teeth whitening done by my dentist with custom made trays & home kit, I was told to use it for 4 nights overnight, I done this using 3 of the 4 syringes that were given to me and I am so unhappy, the bottom of my top teeth have whitened much more than the top part of my teeth (near the gum) my dentist said this is normal and that whitening will not change the whole colour of my teeth, at £400 I feel gutted I have not got the result I thought I would get and don’t know what to do? Please could u give me some advice

I’m Thirteen And Have Stained Teeth, Are Veneers A Possible Solution?

Thursday, May 23rd, 2013
Q.

I was wondering if people from the age of 13 and under have the ability to get dental veneers or at least something to help stained, ‘odd’ teeth.

I’m a 13 yr old female and I have sincerely hated my teeth since I was 11. It was only until then I noticed how much of a difference they make to your appearance & ever since I’ve been trying every thing to rid of the problems that I have made for myself .

I wish I had taken much more care of my teeth, but I guess I’m unable to do so now.

Any advice & tips would be appreciated, also.

Thank you.

How Should I Deal With My Protruding Canines And Small Laterals?

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013
Q.

Hello I was wondering what could be done about my canines because they stick out and also my laterals because there smaller than my other teeth , like there not the same size. My laterals are small and when I smile I feel very embarrassed. I also wanted to know if I get my teeth whitened is it a long term thing or will they turn yellow again? The rest of my teeth are the same length accept my laterals and they look
odd I’m 16 years old and having a nice smile would mean a lot to me. I cant smile without feeling ashamed of my teeth. So it’s affecting my confidence really badly and at the minute being a teenager it’s becoming a bit too much of an issue to just ignore.

Can I Whiten My Teeth From Home?

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013
Q.

Good Evening I was would like to ask you for your expert advice, my Sister and I would like to have our teeth whitened but are really confused. We had it done professionally a couple of years ago by our dentist.For which we paid £500 each, but when we went home we ate a banana roll as we’re vegan and we didn’t know or think that the colour of the food would affect our teeth but, we later found out by reading about it online that it would. I would allso like to point out that  we also didn’t continue with any home whitening kits as we weren’t told to. Can we just buy the home whitening kits? Or do we need them whitened by a dentist first? Thanks

Dead nerve has turned my tooth grey; can you help?

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I recently had an abcess and had to undergo root canal treatment, as well as some treatment on my front tooth where the abcess started from. 

However the nerve had to be ‘killed’ and now my front tooth has grey areas where my gum is.
Obviously I would like the tooth to be as white as the other one but as it is a ‘dead’ tooth, is this possible without visiting a dentist?

I would like to be recommended some treatment to remove the grey area, hopefully you can advise.

Thanks.

I hate my discoloured teeth, what can I do?

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Q.

Hello, at the age of four i tripped and shattered some of my milk teeth. The fall severely damaged and injured my gums. This led to my new teeth growing pitted and damaged. I am now twenty-one and my adult teeth are hideous. They are all pitted and stained and cause bouts of sensitivity. I have previously tried home stain removal kits, whitening kits and have also had temporary fillers put on them in the past and these just seem to chip off.
Am i able to get help in funding for veneers on eight teeth (four top, four bottom)?
I am currently a full-time student at university so cannot afford to pay for private dental work. I am also due to get married next year and just want to be able to smile.
Thank you

I am not happy with the veneer treatment I have received, how can this be fixed?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi,  can you please advise me with an issue? Today i had my very first veneer on my front tooth as it was badly stained due to nerve infection and also my second tooth is discoloured too which has not been veneered yet. I am not happy with it, I can still see the original grey stained colour through the veneer and its upsetting. I have already paid, do you think that my dentist will change the veneer?

As i am not happy with the veneer, and I wanted to book appointment with yourselves, how much will the veneer cost? Or Can i have the veneer whitened if that can happen? The dentist did not inform me on which type of veneer she had done. I am happy to send a picture. Thank you for your time.
