Would veneers help my receding gums?

Monday, September 27th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, My dentist and hygenist have both told me I have receeding gums, and I’ve noticed, particularly in the last year, how the gaps at the top of my upper teeth appear much darker as if I’ve got bits of food in them. Would veneers be suitable in my case, or would the fact that my gums are receeding mean that they wouldn’t look good for as long?,

I would like to have veneers but fear they will break (I am a professional fighter) when in the ring. Is there a particularly strong veneer, and can you give me advice about receding gums?

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi im interested in getting veneers maybee 4-6 accross my top and 4 accross the bottom but im a proffesional fighter and worried that they might not be as strong as my own teeth and come out regularly whilst sparring and fighting. Just want your opinion and is there any particular type of veneers which are stronger than others and would be more suited to me? One more thing is there anything that can be done about reciding gums, or any advice you can give me to help against this? Thanks you very much.,

I don’t want dental phobia to ruin my smile. Can you recommend a dentist?

Thursday, September 16th, 2010
Q.
I have always had a phobia about dentists but have managed it for the past 20 years however after a recent bout of depression am now absolutley terrified.I have recently plucked up the courage to go the the hygienist as I know how important it is and have not been as good at looking after my gums (have had problems with them for years) to get back on track, I have lots of crowns and really try hard to look after them as best I can. I was left with the impression I will eventually loose all my teeth to gum disease which I know i have to come to terms. However I am willing to do what it takes to keep them for as long as I can. I would really like to find a dentist I can trust bit dont know where to start looking. I live in Stamford Lincolnshire, but would be willing to travel to the right dentist. Do you know where I could begin to start looking for one? I dont know many people in the area so asking around is not really an option. I would be very grateful if you could help, also am thinking of getting some private insurance but dont know where to start!! Sorry this is long winded would be grateful for any advice. Thank you,
A.
