Can I have a veneer put on my sharp canine tooth?

Monday, June 6th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor

I have a sharp canine tooth which is not aesthetically pleasing and I wondered if it would be safe to have a porcelain veneer put on it?

Additionally, my two front teeth are longer than I’d like them to be and wondered if it was safe to have they filed down and I wondered how much that would cost on average and if it would cause any future problems?

Lastly, is teeth whitening safe?

thank you for your time

Can I get veneers free on the NHS?

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
Q.

Can I get veneers fitted for free on the nhs? My local dentist have told me it will cost me 650.00 to have two veneers fitted on the front of my teeth as I have a big gap between my two front teeth and I don’t like the look of it. I had braces to close the gap between my two front teeth when I was much younger but as I’ve got older the gap has just got too big, please help me? Please also let me know if there is any such help/grant available to help with the cost of veneers, I am currently not working and on benefit?? Also receiving Child tax credit and hold an nhs exemption card.

What is the best treatment for my chipped tooth, veneers or lumineers?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi I have a front upper tooth chipped (a nip underneath when I was hit with a stick many years ago- only mentioning this in case you think I don’t look after my teeth) I have had it repaired with something that was bonded onto it although it still shows a hair crack line where the join is barely visible unless seen close up. Would it be better to have a veneer or a crown as regards longetivity and if so how much will it cost? Also out of interest are there any technological advances better than lumineer or other long term solutions I heard a while back in the papers that a technique was being innovated whereby a whole tooth could be re-grown somehow. Many Thanks!

What should my crowns be made out of to match my veneers?

Hi Mark,

I want to ask you … what are the best front crowns for colour matching against a vaneer for your front teeth? and how long do they last in comparison to the porcelain on metal or all porcelain. I would love to have my teeth whitened but have been told by my dentist that it is not possible to do on crowns and vaneers?

Please could you advise

Many thanks

How many times can you have veneers replaced?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi there doctor ,

I got veneers for my 2 front teeth about a year ago but I’m not too happy about the colour. I’d like to whiten my teeth and replace my veneers to match the new colour of my teeth. Is it possible to replace my veneers? Is there a limit to replacing them? Also, my veneers feel a little shaky sometimes. If they do break off, do I have any other options? I’ve read that veneers can only be replaced twice in a life time at most. Any truth to that?

Thank you for your time

What is the best way to straighten teeth, braces or veneers?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi,
You recently did a fantasic job on my sister and i was hoping for some treatment/advice.
Generally i have good straight teeth, years of braces, etc however recently ive noticed (prob always been like this) that the front two teeth, one of them slightly sticks out than the other one, the difference is slight, but bothersome.
Cosmetically, what are my options? Are we talking braces, or veneers..If veneers, then would it be just on one tooth?
Thanks for reading.

My front two teeth are not the same size, what can I do?

Friday, May 27th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor 

I have an over bite and generallly my teeth are not crooked, but not all the same size at the front so my 2 front teeth look bigger and stand out more, any proceedure that can improve this as feel very unconfident when smiling. i do look after my teeth and visit the dentist on a regular basis, but feel very insecure about how my teeth look, not sure if veneers would be able to help me with this. I think its amazing how teeth can look so much better and improve your lifestyle and confidence once having them made perfect, the perfect smile makes all the difference i think. thank you for your time
