My lips cover my smile is there anything I can do to fix this embarrassing problem?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

hello, just a quick question.. just wondering if anything can be done with my front upper teeth, they are completely hidden from view when i smile due mainly to the fact that their isnt much gum that their attatched to.the actual teeth themselves are in good condition its just the lips cover them totally i was thinking maybe lenghening the tooth somehow and then later having a lip lift. Its quite embaressing when attempting to smile and any slight improvement would greatly improve my life would you suggest putting crowns, veneers on the top teeth or replacing them with implants thanks for your help in advance!

How do I know if I am being treated by a highly experienced cosmetic dentist?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hi there. Sorry to bother you but how can I found out abot the dentist I have chosen in central London, is there a list of dentists you can look up for quality etc? I was quite happy with who I’ve chosen but am now having reservations and have just read a daily mail article ( from 2008 granted) by a fashion editor who went to see someone in Linton who was supposed to be top notch and had done pop stars teeth but she ended up having a nightmare and not only left with poor quality veneers that fellmout after 6 weeks but is isn constant pain form the procedure? How can you judge your dentists? I am starting to panic now despite only wanting two from top veneers 745 per veneer (is this normal price?) can you possiblynassist in helping find out the reputation of my chided dentist as the article pointed out top London dentists who work on celebs are not always the best ? Kindest regards

I can’t afford to pay for cosmetic dental treatments, what are my options?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

HI there

My teeth are in a really bad state. I had some porcelain crowns on posts done (front top 4 teeth between canines) about 20 years ago. I am now 38 and have lost two of the crowns which has obviously left two gaps and has left some quite ugly decaying bone where the teeth were. All four canines are decaying. ALL my back teeth at the top are either filled, decaying or both. I have no back teeth at the bottom apart from the very back ones. I had a breakdown in November 2011 and have been suffering from anxiety and depresssion since then and I take Fluoxetine on a daily basis. I have just got myself a new job at Jaguar but the state of my teeth is causing people to comment which is making me more depressed. I am not in a position to pay for cosmetic dentistry and am looking for some advice. Hope you can offer something in the way of an answer.
Many Thanks.

Some of my adult teeth didn’t come through and now I have large gaps in my smile, what can I do to fix this?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hello, I just require some general advice please. When I was 18 I was told I needed 3 baby teeth taken out (two at top and one right bottom, all second premolars), so I went to hospital to have them taken out. I am now 25 and the adult teeth never did come through which has led to all the teeth close by to spread out and cause enormous gaps, also I now have a large gap in my front teeth, I did have a free consultation a few years ago but I was told that to have the teeth fixed it would cost me around £3,000. Is there anything else I can do or is there a cheaper way to fix this problem? I’m really self concious about my smile. Thanks for your time.

How much would it cost to have an implant where my upper molar used to be?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi, Doctor Hughes, I am looking into having a dental implant on the upper left first bicuspid tooth, I lost it a number of years back and wanted to get this done but haven’t really looked into it until now. Just dropping you a message just to get some information on it basically. I am looking to get this done as soon as possible. I have some more work, which needs doing, but this was something I wanted to get done first and then look to getting the other things sorted. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Would contouring be the best option for my spaced teeth?

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012
Q.

I have decay between my front teeth and another two front teeth and the rest of my teeth are reasonable and presentable just a bit stained, I want the perfect smile for when i start my job but don’t want to spend too much money and am worried about the veneers coming off so could I use contouring for my gaps and decay holes and then whiten my teeth? I need something that will last and will not discolour. Can you please advise me of options and rough costs? And whether finance is available?

Thanks

Is it possible to fix the gaps in my teeth?

Thursday, June 7th, 2012
Q.

Hello I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have gaps between every one of my teeth. Is this considered unattractive? and should I get it fixed? I’m 20 years old and worried I have left it too late to fix it, I don’t really want to have braces as an adult 🙁 and also worry about the cost. My teeth have never really bothered me but when I smile on pictures they look horrible. Other than the gaps they are straight though.

My veneer needs replacing but I am not happy with the colour my new dentist has provided, what can I do?

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hi,
I recently cracked a veneer on a front incisor and went to my dentist for a replacement.
I have moved house since the original veneer was fitted and can no longer go to the same dentist.
My new dentist took impressions, colour matches etc and gave me a temporary veneer. I paid for half the cost after the first appointment.

Today I went back to have the proper veneer fitted and it was far too white/cream in colour. The dentist seemed a bit at a loss and said he would have to ask them to re-do it. When placed next to my other tooth, the veneer also looked far too thick and opaque – nothing like the veneer that I had lost. My original veneer was exactly the right colour and much more translucent.

I am now worried that the next effort won’t be good enough! The dentist said the lab may be able to colour the veneer or they may have to make another. I’ve lost a bit of confidence and I would like to know what my options are.

With thanks
