I had my two front teeth filled as I had a gap. Now I have two yellow lines on my front teeth you can see really clearly. I have tried evey toothpaste there is and none of them work. I don’t want to have anything else done to them. I’m a bit gutted about the fact that I went to my dentist with nice white teeth and now I hate them. When I spoke to my dentist he said there is nothing I can do. Gutted! Please tell me how to get rid of it.
Hello. Is it possible to have a small filling at the back of a tooth that a holds a veneer without damaging the veneer? If not, what is the best treatment pathway for the tooth in question? I would also like to know how successful the treatment would be and how high a percentage of success there is regarding this filling being completed without damaging the veneer. If the veneer were to be damaged, could I have another veneer fitted once the filling is completed? Many thanks.
Hi, I have some tooth enamel loss in one of my front teeth, and a little of the other front tooth. I’d like to know, would teeth whitening whiten and cover up the enamel loss area affected, or would I need to consider veneers? My teeth otherwise are straight and no cracks or problems with them, just some obvious enamel loss in my front teeth. Also if I get my teeth whitened how long in general should the whitening last on the teeth? Hope you can help. Thanks and regards.
Hello Dr Hughes. I have gap between my front teeth, and I am not opting for braces because I know that gaps open up after some time. I was thinking about going for veneers but keeping in mind their durability and the fact that my teeth have to be trimmed, I am thinking about going for Lumineers. I’m just worried about if they will suit me? What should I go for? Thank you, any advice would be happily received.
Hello Dr Gambroudes. My two front teeth are longer than my lips. This makes me open my whole mouth wide just to say a single word. I have little to no confidence or self esteem. My teeth make me look ugly. What can I do about this? I’ve been browsing around and I’ve got some information about veneers, dental bonding and surgery, etc. I am still trying to get a proper advise on what to do. I hope I would get some advice from yourself? Thank you.
Hi Dr Gambroudes, I am a 29 year old male and I have a gap between my front upper teeth, which is about 3-4 mm wide. I don’t want to have to wear braces, so is there a quick, efficient solution to fill the gap that doesn’t involve orthodontics? I’d really appreciate your help with this matter. Please inform me of the best solution for my situation, I’m really hoping there’s an effective alternative to braces. I don’t have a lot of money to spend and I’d like a fast treatment so I can get this gap filled as soon as possible. Thank you for considering my question, I look forward to reading your response.
Hey Mark. I have a gap between my two front teeth on the top set of my jaw, I have already had braces when I was younger but they didn’t seem to work. I was wondering what options I have to close this gap? E.g. Veneers or bonding? Is there an option just to get two veneers put in (the two front teeth) and get the rest whitened or will that look weird? Also what would be the most effective treatment? Could you please advise me on prices too?
Thank you.
Hello Mark, I am 20 years old and I have a gap in my front teeth. How long would it take to close this and what would the prices come to? I’ve had several appointments with dentists and they all say with time the gap will come together but it never does I feel really conscious because of it and I hate smiling or even talking to people. Working as a promotions seller I need to have a good smile which I definitely don’t because of the gap.
I am undecided on this treatment and mostly on the Invisalign aligners. Can you tell me the difference and which would be better and cost effective?
Hi Doctor! My question is that when I smile my upper gum shows and I always smile covering with my hand and I lose the confidence to smile with anyone, please kindly advise me on what the solution is? I’ve seen some of the gummy smile treatments but I wonder how much it would cost and if I wanted to have gummy smile treatment. Please kindly advise me what the procedure is and how can it be done? Thanks doctor.
Regards.
Hi Dr Hughes. I have had my Maryland bridge in for about 8 years. The bond tends to fail usually after 2 to 3 years but I always have it refitted. It normally takes about 15 to 20 minutes to refit. This would include removal of any cement from the adjacent teeth and the Maryland bridge wings. It failed again 3 weeks ago and was refitted in just 5 minutes, it failed after 5 days, refitted again and now failed after 3 days. Again only 5 minutes was spent in the chair. Can you tell me what prep is usual in refitting the Maryland? Thank you for your time.
