Hello. I would like to do no prep veneers, however I don’t know what are the risks? Can tooth deteriorate under them? Do you give any guarantees? Can bonding material cause damage? I think that maybe my teeth will need protection not only from front but also from back side, are there no prep veneers that cover tooth from back and front? Because I don’t want any level of tooth tissue to be removed.
Hi there, I have had a lab made veneer on my front left tooth and I am unhappy with the way it looks because it looks bigger than the front right tooth, If if were to use a cerec dentist would they be able to make it look nice and symetrical, and how much roughly would I expect to pay for this service? I also have some black fillings that I might be interested in getting replaced with cerec fillings again how much would I be expected to pay for this?
Many thanks
Hi there, i am soon to have veneers on my four front top teeth to reduce the large gaps that have developed since i had severe peritonitis last year. I had been hopeful that i could have this work done on or part on the NHS as i already suffer from severe depression and anxiety and these gaps have left me more reclusive and avoiding social situations. I explained this to my dentist but he said as the work was cosmetic i would have to pay the full amount myself and hasn’t applied or contacted the NSH on my behalf. I have made an appointment at my doctors to seek his advice too. Also i was originally asked if i could have a brace to close the gaps but the dentist said because of the past gum disease my teeth/gums might not to be strong enough to have a brace. He also originally said that there was no point just putting veneers on if my teeth were going to keep moving apart. He took xrays a few weeks ago and hasnt took me what the results were, ie if since my last xray the teeth have continued to move apart. Please can you advise my on the way to go forward with this, Thanks
Hello, I am a 21 year old student. I have had discoloured teeth for as long as I can remember. Because of this as a child I neglected my teeth and they just got worse. As I got older I started looking after them more and but I am still ashamed of how bad they are. To help me with confidence issues I need something done to improve my smile. I am thinking about getting veneers, or whitened but not sure whether whitening would do the trick as I let them get so bad. I don’t know where to start. How do I go about assessing my options?
Hi There Dr,
I wanted to ask you, What is the difference between veneers and veneers? and which 1 is more beneficial?
Im very inconfident about my smile, even though, I dont have bad teeth or smile(Alhamdulillah), but the thought of having veneers or lumineers placed and giving me that perfect smile I want would be my dream come true.
The other question was, If i wanted to have this done? could I spread the cost over a period of time or is it a ‘one of payment’
Id appreciate a reple soon
Thankyou,
Take care,
Hi, hopefully you can give me some advice with some dental issues I’m having. I had a veneer fitted on a top front tooth back in January, and the dentist who did it managed to damage the tooth to the extent that I needed a root canal treatment done – this was done at the end of March. Since then the pain has improved but is still present; the tooth can be tender to bite down on (but not always) and the front surface is often (but again not always) sensitive/tender to light pressure. Tapping on the tooth is much better than it was previously. I am also having some pain in the gum between the front tooth and the one to the right – my dentist can see nothing wrong with the gum but it is frequently slightly painful and can swell slightly first thing in the morning/on eating. I don’t know if this is likely to be from the tooth or from an internal infection. I appreciate this is a lot to describe and expect you to comment on, but any advice would be appreciated. Because there are no obvious issues my dentist does not seem in a hurry to try to fix anything, but these issues are now having an effect on my mental health.
Thanks
Dear Dr. Hughes,
After I got my braces put on 4 years ago my right front tooth turned gray/black at the top. My dentist told me that It lost blood flow and was dying. He said I must have had some tooth injury as a child where it was damaged, and with the braces moving it, it lost its blood flow completely. I do not recall any tooth injury as a kid but that was my dentists best guess. I had a root canal but it is still very dark. Now my braces are off and it is very dark and embarrassing. Will it fall out? What are my options to get it fixed? The dentist I used said it was an osteopathic tooth death. I am afraid if I pay to get a crown, it will then fall out and so I do not want to get a crown if there is a chance it will fall out anyway. Also it sometimes has a weird sensation, not necessarily pain but I can feel the tooth and it isn’t pleasant. I do not smile now and I really want it fixed with the best possible outcome. Thank you so much!
I think I would benefit from some veneers. Can you tell me whether it is possible to have veneers fitted one or two at a time, rather than all at once, or would that a) make it difficult to fit further veneers to neighbouring teeth, and b) will they look odd against my existing teeth? My main problem is that a front lower tooth has become crooked and there is a gap between 2 of my teeth. Thank you very much doctor
I have a growing concern about my 2 front teeth, which have had for a long time now, ‘grooves’ – I’ve been told through brushing too hard. I’ve had them filled with composite a number of times, but the most recent time, the dentist actually drilled into the grooves to make them bigger (?!) I hadn’t had this before (but naturally I trusted the dentist, seeing as I know nothing about it), and although the teeth looked good for the past 2.5 years, they are now beginning to wear away as composite does, and I’m concerned they are going to look even worse if I don’t get them filled in again. That’s why I’m not considering porcelain veneers. Would porcelain veneers in this case be the best option, knowing that I will need to keep paying to have them filled in anyway? And is it really ‘usual’ to drill the grooves further to fill them with composite. I’m really worried this has ruined my otherwise very straight and very white teeth.
many thanks for your help,
Dear Dr Hughes
