What procedure would you recommend would be suitable to form the perfect smile

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Good Evening Dr Glaister, I have been thinking for a long time to have my top teeth straightened. I spent 3 years of my teens in braces (including headgears) for my teeth to straighten and then move back over the course of 2 years. I have quite weak teeth also with low ennammal covering. My top front teeth are misaligned into a small V shape and the two next to them either side are slightly twisted. What procedure would you recommend would be suitable to form the perfect smile. You should also be aware, i only have 1 molar each side of the top teeth, after havin several removed to allow the teeth to move back, which ended up moving forward after the braces were removed. Sorry for the long essay! regards

My crowned front tooth is gray in colour Can i get them be re-done?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
I got my two top front teeth crowned in 2007. As time has gone by they are looking more and more gray. Around the gum lines are darker, but the teeth are gray as well. I’m scheduled to have them re-done, but I’m curious as to why they turned gray, and if it is probable it will happen again after I get them re-done? I don’t want to waste my money if it’s likely to be a similar situation. Thanks.

My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months can I get I sooner?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had alot of problems with one of my front (at the side a bit) teeth. I have had root canel on it, then it cracked it two. I had the back bit removed and then the filling fell out the rest so the dentist decided to take it out. I got it taken out 4 days ago and had a plate put it immediately due to its location. I have been in pain since….and it doesnt seem to be relenting. I am finding the plate very uncomfortable and struggle to eat!! in fact i know its only been 4 days but i hate the plate, i dont like the poligrip very much but forcing myself to put it on!! but i feel really like i want to gag all the time, its really sore at my tooth, itchy at the top of my mouth and im constantly thirsty! My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months time, I was just wondering if there is any reason I have to wait this long? Can i ask for it sooner as I really dont think i can last 6 months with the plate! Also do you have any advice for the plate situation now….I dont want to go back to my dentist as along with all this ive been in and out with wisdom teeth extractions (where my face balloned) and feel that im always there! but toothache is so bad!
