7 years ago i chipped my front tooth on holiday but never went to a dentist as i have a very big phobia but now it is really getting me down as i don’t like to smile & show my teeth a quarter of my front tooth snapped off in a straight line now my tooth turned black at the edge and seems to be spreading could u please tell me what the dentist might recommend thank you
Is there an age limit ? I am 70 and my top front teeth have rapidly deteriorated in the past two years. Having lost my top rear teeth both sides — the front teeth have worn razor sharp and chipped, particularly the top. Hope you can help me.
I believe I need four veneers for my front four top teeth from an accident I had as a child as they keep chipping. However, one tooth at the bottom is out of alignment, would this be a problem?
hi, i have just noticed a little chip on one of my bottom tooth and a small gap as well, i was wondering is there anything my dentist can do to fix this problem?
my frount teeth have chiped due to face injury ,if i got veneers on my top teeth would i have the rest of my teeth whitend as they would be a differant coulor ?
I’ve had my two front teeth plated with dental veneers. My dentist recommended this as they were chipped and the fillings kept breaking off from a few hours to a few weeks after filling. The treatment was very painful as when he ground them down, it must have went close to the nerve. My face swelled up around my sinuses and I had a headache for days afterwords. Then when the veneers were put on a week ago, they were made very close together and the length of them were much shorter than my original teeth. They said they done this so I wouldn’t break them off. Now they lay in line with the teeth either side, instead of being slightly longer.
I now have a speech impediment as I cannot pronounce F or V properly, whereas I have always had correct pronunciation. I’m embarrassed to speak. I wish I never had this treatment done if I knew it was going to impair my speech.
My query is – is this normal for everyone to not being able to speak properly after having veneers fitted? What can I do to have this fixed? I looked at a website afterwords that stated Lumineers could have helped without unnecessarily destroying my teeth, but my dentist stated these were not as good as veneers and didn’t last as long? Is this true? and if so, how come dental websites can state they last 4 times as long if this is in fact the opposite?
I’m very unhappy with not being advised on what would happen when having veneers fitted, as I would not have agreed to them being fitted. I didn’t ask for them, I was told this was the only option besides bridges or crowns.
Please advise consciously.
My 7 year old bumped heads today with a classmate and one upper front tooth and two lower front teeth have been chipped. We have been to the dentist who has said it is only enamel which has been chipped and they are confident there are no fractures, The lower teeth are too sensitive at present to bond with composite filling – it will have to wait til next week. I cannot help but feel saddened that he has chipped his permanent second teeth, Is the composite material hard wearing, natural looking and the best option at present? I need a positive opinion on this if possible, thanks.
