I suffered from Bulimia in the past and this has affected my teeth, what can I do to fix them?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Good Morning,

I wanted some advice on veneers and prices. My two front teeth at the top looked cracked and are slightly discoloured. This has been a result of Bulimia in the past. What can I do to rectify my teeth, as am worried about there appearance and are they weak and will they fall apart without veneers. It is only those two teeth I am mainly worried about as they look the worst. I have my bulimia under control but need to sort out the appearance of my teeth. I am also on a very strict budget so need to look at all my options, but if I dont get my teeth done they physical appearance of them looks even more depreessing to me.

Many thanks

I need treatment for teeth staining but have a fear of dentists. What can I do?

Monday, December 3rd, 2012
Q.

I spent years in the forces but despite this I have a fear of dentists and therefore have not been to a dentist for over 25 yrs. I feel my smile and teeth are holding me back in my career, they are all in tact but discoloured and stained and not a smile anyone would be proud off.
The trouble is I can not afford to correct this are there options as I do feel it is holding my career back?
A straight perfect smile is as much of importance as clean polished shoes I have tried everything to clean my teeth to no avail and I see treatment would cost thousands of which is beyond my reach.
I don’t know what to do or where too turn as i think it is now out of control.

It depends on the type or stai… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I make my teeth better without harming the tooth surface?

Friday, November 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello! I’m 17 and I have bad teeth. I had my root canal done on the front tooth (it hurt sometimes, not sure if It’s normal). I’m emarrassed to go to the dentist because I’m too young to have such bad teeth..I really like the shape of my teeth, but they’re not white…actually, I’m kind of obsessed with my teeth and I don’t feel comfortable. Also they are demineralized so my dentist told me that I’ll never be able to do the teeth whitening. Hope you can help me! Is there any chance that MY teeth can be beautiful without any veneer or drilling the surface (enamel). Please help me!

How would veneers affect my natural teeth?

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012
Q.

Hello,

I’m currently looking into veneers. How would this effect my natural teeth? Are they just glued on top of your natural teeth or do your teeth get filed down? Also, are they permanant and can you remove them? I would appreciate any help you can give me on this subject. Also, how much generally are they??

Thanks

I am 55, is that too old to receive braces?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

Hello there Dr Hughes. I am 55 yrs old. I always had beautiful straight teeth but now my 22 front teeth seem to have receded by the teeth beside them which have come forward so that on sometimes when I smile they look like they are missing.I also have receding gums. I would like to get my teeth nice and straight again. I don’t really want to have veneers as I have heard so many negative things about them. Do you think I am too old for orthodontic treatment as in having a brace? Do you have any other suggestions. Many thanks, I await your reply.

Can I have my crowns replaced and receive gum contouring in one sitting?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Patel, my two front teeth are crowned. The crowns are old now and on one of them the metal is showing on the gum line. I would like to have these replaced with all ceramic crowns. My gum line is not symmetrical above these two teeth and I think the eventual result would be better if the gum was contoured. My question is, can all this treatment be carried out at the same time or do you have to wait some time after gum contouring. I am not keen on the idea of waiting as I think the look would be unsightly and the way my teeth look now is already getting me down. Many thanks for your time.

How much would it cost to have my chipped front teeth treated?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Hussein Shaffie. Not sure if you could help me answer my small question, I’ve chipped my two front teeth quite some time ago now about five years and I was wondering if they can be fixed? They haven’t botherd me until now as I haven’t been to the dentist for a while and I’m getting quite ashamed of them. Have I left it too late for them to be sorted? Or will I have to have them extracted? And please could you tell me a ball park figure I was thinking about £1000 and could you do this for me thanks doctor.
