How Should I Deal With My Protruding Canines And Small Laterals?

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013
Q.

Hello I was wondering what could be done about my canines because they stick out and also my laterals because there smaller than my other teeth , like there not the same size. My laterals are small and when I smile I feel very embarrassed. I also wanted to know if I get my teeth whitened is it a long term thing or will they turn yellow again? The rest of my teeth are the same length accept my laterals and they look
odd I’m 16 years old and having a nice smile would mean a lot to me. I cant smile without feeling ashamed of my teeth. So it’s affecting my confidence really badly and at the minute being a teenager it’s becoming a bit too much of an issue to just ignore.

Would Bonding And Veneers Be My Best Options For Filling The Gaps?

Thursday, May 16th, 2013
Q.

I have a 2 mm gap between my front teeth and then less than 1 mm on either side of that, everything else is straight and normal. What would be the best treatment in this case? I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on braces or Invisalign for something so small. I read something about bonding and veneers, but I’m not sure if those are real options. I’m not an expert though, I’m sure you’ve had more patients in my position. So if you could offer any advice then that would be truly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank You!

Can My Two Front Teeth Be Filled To Remove The Gap?

Monday, April 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello sir, I have a gap of 4mm-5mm between my two upper front teeth. Can I fill that up using bonding? This is something that I have had since childhood and I am 17 now. It has caused a fair few issues for me. I don’t feel fully able to express myself and act as freely as I would like to. Basically, I just want to delete this ‘chapter of gap’ forever. Please help. My teeth are strong enough so I hope bonding could be an option for me. And I think that this gap has increased in comparison to the gap I used to have during childhood. I don’t have any other problem except this gap. The gap caught my attention when one of my friend told that it has increased a little from last 2 years.

I Want A Hollywood Smile, How Much Would This Cost?

Friday, March 1st, 2013
Q.

I was just wondering how much it usually is to have the ‘Hollywood smile’ I have a gap at the front of my teeth, and they’re very small.
I would just like to find out the price to have not maybe a full set but a selected few of top and bottom teeth? I’m not sure what the best option would be, but I would really like to consider this. I just need to know the financial side to things and the best pathway in which to go down. I am very convinced by having this procedure and I think it will give me much much more self confidence as at the minute I do not smile with my ‘teeth’ out. It’s just not me!
Help me help me help me!
Thank you

Skiing accident caused damage to teeth. what would you recommend in terms of Lumineers/Veneers?

Friday, February 15th, 2013
Q.

Dear Dr Hughes

I have just come back from Chamonix where I had a skiing accident involving trauma to my face, which included a lacerated lip and a broken front tooth. I work as a clinical pharmacist at The London Clinic on 20 Devonshire Place and I was wondering what you would recommend in terms of Lumineers/Veneers. I am extremely conscious about discolouration of the tooth. At present I have a composite in place but acknowledge this is a temporary measure for 6 months if not 3 months according to the NHS dentist as the root may die, but only time will tell. The dentist said the best thing to get was a lumineer – is this true? If i get one lumineer on the broken tooth does this mean I will need my whole upper set of teeth done also. I dont want to have to go through ridiculous expense but I am so paranoid now, I wont smile or open my mouth too much for fear of anyone seeing my teeth. I used to love my teeth after 2 and half long painful years of orthodontal treatment. Please could you advise me on what the best options are for me and the time frame from which I should proceed with getting a permanent tooth. I want to be confident in at least my smile. Its very important in the day job to converse with patients and I do not want the first thing they notice to be a bad tooth.

Kind Regards

I have a small gaps between my four front teeth and I want to close them! Please advise.

Friday, February 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello could you help me. I have a small gaps between my four front teeth and I want to close them! The gaps are bad to my appearance and I really hate my smile because of them. I will try anything to make my smile better! I want my smile to be something people like, not dislike.
I don’t want to wear braces and can’t afford Invisalign Teen. Is there a retainer that could help me with my situation? Is there anything that I can do or buy that will close this gap? This gap MUST go, please help! There is nothing more bothering than this gap to me! Please give me advice on what to do!

My Teeth Are Slightly Out Of Place, Are Braces My Only Option?

Thursday, January 31st, 2013
Q.

My front teeth at the top are out of place and the bottom teeth are squint but typical braces would take much to long and I would rather not have them for years.. is there any methods that I could get that would work faster to give me a nice smile.. And what are the prices for the procedures roughly? I did have a look through your site at all the different treatments But I am still unsure of what would be the best option for myself and I would really appreciate any advice or information you could provide on the topic.

Thank you.

Has My Dentist Filed My Tooth Too Much?

Thursday, January 24th, 2013
Q.

Hello I recently chipped my front tooth On thurs. I went to a dentist on Friday. My chipped tooth was bonded with a white filling and then filed. I have noticed that my front teeth are now not the same length as they were previously. The newly filled tooth is a shorter length is this normal? Or Did the dentist file the tooth too much?
Now I’m conscious of my two front teeth not being level. Is there anything I can do? Can white filing be added to make the teeth the
same length ?

I take pride in my teeth and was always proud of my teeth when I smile, now because of this I feel I cannot have a confident smile as before. I would be extememly grateful if you could answer my questions and let me know what you recommend I should do. Should I go back to the dentist who was not my usual dentist but I went because I could not get an earlier appointmentwith my main dentist.

Would me fang tooth that sticks out require tooth straightening or cosmetic dentistry?

Thursday, October 25th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have a fang tooth on the upper left hand side of my jaw which sticks out and affects my smile. The rest of my teeth are nice and I would just like this tooth to be pushed down and put into alignment with the rest. However, I don’t think the gap is big enough for it to be pushed down which may be why it sticks out.

Would this require tooth straightening or cosmetic dentistry? Please can you advise the options open to me.Thank you.

Both options are open to you b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
