I’ve Broken A Crown. Should I Get A New Or Should I Consider Another Type Of Treatment?
Friday, May 16th, 2014I would like some advice regarding my front tooth.
I have a front tooth porcelain crown which has fractured at the back & a piece has broken off. I have had this crown for 15 years.
Do you think I would benefit from having composite bonding & a veneer rather than a new porcelain crown?
Which is best to match my other teeth? My crown has discoloured slightly around the gum-line.
I welcome your advice & I would like to know costs please. Many thanks.
I Get Embarrassed Whenever I Smile With My Large Front Teeth. I Wonder What Can Be Done?
Tuesday, May 6th, 2014Hello Mark. I am 21 years old and my 2 front teeth are bigger than normal ones. I get embarrassed whenever I smile with them and I’ve also got a tooth growing out the top of my gum. I’ve got a couple of bottom teeth that are wobbly too, even though I clean them twice a day and I’m a non-smoker. Also, I’ve got a tooth missing next to the front tooth but the tooth from the gum covers it up. They don’t get any cleaner no matter how much I clean them. I am just wondering what there is to be done as I’m only 21 and it’s not looking good for me in the future? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.
When I Smile My Teeth Don’t Show. Is This A Dental Issue Or A Jaw Alignment Issue?
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014 Dear Andrew. When I smile it is very difficult for my teeth to show. Even when I talk you don’t see the top ones that much. Is this a tooth issue or a jaw/lip issue? Can anything be done about this? It causes me a lot of stress and makes me never want to smile.
When I do smile very wide (forced) you can see the teeth more but it looks very unnatural.
My teeth are all very straight (orthodontic work done as a kid) but I feel like that was pointless as I can never smile normally and show them off. I feel like my teeth are too far back in my mouth and that is why they don’t show. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m Visiting London And My Crown Has Broken. Should I Wait I Go Back Home Or Fix It Now?
Thursday, April 10th, 2014Hello Mark. I hope you can help me out. I’m visiting London for two weeks, but my crown on my front tooth has just cracked in half. I would like to fix it when I am back in the states, but I don’t want to risk it falling off or breaking more at the moment. Is there something I can do temporarily? Or will I need to replace the crown now, while I’m residing in London?
I would like to know my options before I have to make a decision so any help you could provide me with would be useful.
Thank you in advance for your time.
I No Longer Trust My Dentist. Do You Have Any Suggestions On How To Find A New One?
Tuesday, April 1st, 2014I went for a dental cleaning and while I was under nitrous and the Dr. came in & showed me “close ups” of my teeth and told me that although they looked beautiful, that all the white fillings and crowns I had, from eye teeth back, had to be replaced. I needed 26 appointments or I could do it all in 1 shot under sedation which of course, I chose sedation since I had already explained to him my severe anxiety. 2 days later I questioned the necessity of this treatment plan and I was tag teamed by his sales team who made me feel even more nervous when they told me I was at risk of losing my teeth. I went through with it but thank God I only let him do one side. The temporaries were a disaster and I told his assistant that they were going to break if she didn’t get the bite correct but they broke 3 days later. The permanent crowns don’t touch each other (side to side), my upper teeth only meet my lower teeth at half of one crown with half of another along the whole span of entire right side of my mouth. I have pain in a tooth that previous to his work had no pain, they are yellow, short, they are flat (no contour what so ever). I have not had any dental work done for 3 years. I have asked him to fix them and had an orthodontist write him a letter as to the importance of restoring my bite. He keeps telling me I would need to pay for the sedation again. First of all, does any of this sound like the work of a “Cosmetic” dentist as he claims to be? Any suggestions on how to pick another dentist?
My Teeth Are In A Bad Way With Four Missing. What Are My Options As I Don’t Have A Dentist And I Am Unemployed?
Friday, March 28th, 2014Hi Andrew, I need some advice. My teeth are in a bad condition with 4 that are missing, it’s embarrassing and uncomfortable. What are my options as I don’t have a dentist and I currently have no employment? Thanks, I really want to get this sorted, I just want to know my options, if any, and also costs and any other information that is relevant to solving the issue, it seems as hard as I try to look after my teeth, it’s always too late and my confidence levels are dropping rapidly.
For Fashion, I’ve Always Wanted A Gold Front Tooth. Is This Something Cosmetic Dentists Specialise In?
Friday, March 21st, 2014 Hi there Dr Patel. I hope you can help me. I have always wanted, for reasons relating to fashion, a gold front tooth in the form of a crown either on the whole tooth or a rim surrounding the tooth.
Is this something you offer, or can you give me advice as to which cosmetic dentists specialise in this? Perhaps you yourself could offer this treatment? I live in North London but travel is of course not really an issue!
Can you perhaps email me some pictures, fact-sheets, prices etc, as a guide.
I would be most grateful if you could help me with this as it’s a unique question.
With kind regards.
