Hello Dr Marcus, I’d Like A Durable Way Of Mending My Chipped Tooth.

Tuesday, November 5th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Marcus,
I have a front tooth (second left) which is chipped (approx 30% of tooth), I have had a composite filling done in the past but it keeps falling out. I would prefer a more reliable and durable fix, but I do not want to have a crown just yet. Is a porcelain filling a possible option. I’d also like to know the cost as well please? Also I’m thinking about teeth whitening. Thank you, really look forward to hearing your advice.

I went to have my chipped tooth repaired but my dentist said it doesn’t need treating, how can I insist that he does something about it?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi i have just chipped my front right tooth on a glass. its only very small but its left a jaggery line which looks awful. I am really bothered about it. I also went to the my dentist about a chip in my bottom tooth a few months ago which is not as noticeable as its on the bottom and he charged me £17 just to say no it did not require treatment. I refuse to pay that again just to hear those words. I really need this fixing. How can I insist he does something about this? Surely its not too much hard work. All he seems to say to me whenever I go is that my teeth are better than most and I should be grateful. This isn’t the right attitude surely? I thought preventative dentistry was supposed to be the best way, my teeth are only going to get worse if they are left like this!

Friday, September 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am inquiring about how you may be able to help me. I currently do not have a dentist and have a chipped front tooth I was also previously told that i will need a bridge as my 2 bottom front teeth will need to be removed due to my gums receding to far. I am a 29 yr old woman and this is causing me a lot of pain and self consciousness. I need to find a cosmetic dentist who can offer me the treatment I need and have rea a lot about yours. Please can you e mail me your prices for a bridge and a veneer and what my payment options are. I am apparently not entitled to this on the nhs as I am in full time employment. I would like to get this sorted out as soon as possible. I t is affected my life on a daily basis aswell as causing a lot of pain. I hope you can help

Kind Regards

My 23 month old daughter has chipped her front tooth, what should I do?

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
Q.

My 23 month old daughter chipped her front tooth this week, while playing at the park. I took her straight to the dentist but they just said its fine it doesnt need filing down. Its very unsightly and is causing her speach to be different to usual. Is there anything that can be done to make it look somewhat like it used to so that it looks better and improves her speach to what it was? She is also finding it herd to close her mouth without chewing on the inside of her bottom lip with the chipped tooth.

The cosmetic bonding on my front teeth has chipped, am I better off getting veneers?

Monday, November 28th, 2011
Q.

I have bonding on my front four teeth because of poor orthodontic practices. Basically they remove the enamel from my teeth requiring me to have fillings but I wanted it to look nice so I bonded the front four recently. I just had one of them chip. Its minor, just the edge but in trying to not freak out about getting it fixed, I found a lot of people saying that it is really common for them to chip and that even if I get the chip replaced (which I have to, it has left a rough edge) it wont stay very well. Is this true? Veneers are very expensive and require a lot of commitment â seeing as you completely shave off your tooth to put it on. Will bonding at all work as a long term solution? I just need some advice please.

I’m wearing braces but am not happy with teeth size, should I get veneers?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

Hello there, I am wondering what you think I should do.. I am 16 years old and have braces. My teeth are pretty straight and am getting them off soon. Its just I am really unhappy with the size of my teeth alot of people have said that my dentist will add at the bottom to make them look longer but I feel its the top of the teeth it needs to be added to. My gums are lower down than any normal person and before I had braces my mouth wouldn’t close at ease it would be me making my lips close because I have a high lip. As my lips were not closed my top lip just sat on my gum causing it to make an indent in my gum, but when laughing people can see it and I think its horrible! Also when I was 5 or 6 my teeth got hit with a car door which cause my to front teeth to chip quite badly the right one wasn’t so bad and is fixed with a cap? but the left one was split right across the half way mark and couldn’t be fixed with a cap so my dentist gave me a crown. I have done some research online and came across gum shrinking and porcelain veneers which I think would be a lot nicer than the teeth I have now, could you give me advice on what you think I should do? Thanks, Michelle

How do I choose a cosmetic dentist to fix my broken front teeth?

Friday, February 18th, 2011
Q.

Not sure who to address this to

Both of my front two teeth are chipped and I’m looking for a good cosmetic dentist to get them ‘fixed’. The websites all seem very similar so that doesn’t help to differentiate them. So my question is how do I know where to find a good cosmetic dentist because as they are my front two teeth I would like them to be as good as can be.

A.
