Due to bulimia my front teeth have worn down, how can I improve them and how much would it cost?

Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I am a 36 year old lady and over the last 15 years, due to 10 years of sufferering from bulimia, my two front teeth have worn down and are now slightly shorter than the rest of my top teeth. I was always told that I had an amazing smile and beautiful teeth. But not any more. I am looking into what options there are to adding a couple of mil in length to those top two teeth ( or veneers ?). I don’t even know if any thing is possible to fix this. Could you please be kind enough to get back to me and also advise me how much I would have to save up to get this corrected, many thanks.

Should my son get implants or braces first?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

My son chipped his upper-left, front tooth in 1/2 at age 8 and chipped off most of the rest of it at age 16. At that time, the dentist removed the entire tooth, performed surgery to strengthen the area and I think removed nerves, and made him a fake tooth that goes in like a retainer (sorry, I’ve forgotten what this is called). Now that he is 17, we are now ready (financially) to meet with an Orthodontist about braces and an implant.

Which do you suggest happens first, the braces or the implant?

Thank you for your time.

I chipped a tooth and the edge is sharp, what do you advise?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

Andrew, I think i’ve chipped a tiny little part of the inner biting edge of my front tooth in the corner off as when I run my tooth vertically between my front teeth it feels like a sharp knife and my tongue feels sore. Is there anything that I can do to get the tooth edge smooth and straight again? Will the sharp edge smooth out in time with brushing or dental polishing or would the edge have to be filed slightly? If something can be done, would I have to get a cosmetic dentist to fix it?. Thanks
