Are non-prep veneers the same as lumineers?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I have read about the new american veneers that do not need the tooth to be grinded down? is this the same proceedure you do with the lumineers?

I am interested in having my teeth perfected, they are already in good condition but 1 tooth slightly crooked, what can you suggest as I do not want to have veneers because of the grinding down.

Kind regards

Should I get a fixed or permanent retainer?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am into my 7th month of 6 month smiles treatment. My dentist is telling me that he is going to fit a permanent bonded retainer behind my teeth after treatment. I haven’t been given a choice of wearing a removable retainer. My main concern is that I will no longer be able to floss. Should I be able to opt for a removable, or is it better to have a permanent bonded retainer fitted?

Should I have a tooth removed to have a bridge re-fitted?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Moore

I have a bridge of 4 false teeth at the front of my mouth and after 20 years the original K9 has sheared off leaving the bridge loose, I am due soon to have another denture fitted. I believe the sheared tooth will be removed and a compound used instead from the root. I was told after a second opinion within the surgery that this will only last for approx 2-3 years and I really need to consider the screw in option of which will costs me £6000 pounds of which I cannot afford. What can I do. I am seriously considering having all my teeth removed as this will be a cheaper option.

Many thanks
