I AM AGED 60 AND I HAVE DEVELOPED SOME SLACK TEETH

Q. I AM AGED 60 AND I HAVE DEVELOPED SOME SLACK TEETH AT THE BOTTOM IN THE FRONT – I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HAVING LUMINEERS – WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR SLACK TEETH – I PRESUME IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE LUMINEERS ON TEETH THAT HAVE BECOME SLACK SO WHAT WOULD BE THE SOLUTION MANY THANKS

A. His is a problem, if the teeth are slack there is probably an underlying gum problem (periodontal disease) which i think needs addressing. once this is stabilised then the teeth can be braced together and if things firm up then cosmetic procedures can be carried out to help the look of the teeth ie veneers.
