I has a fall and cracked my front teeth will veneers be suitable

Monday, June 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hello, I hope you can advise me on this. I am very upset and disappointed because i had fixed braces removed last year with good results. Unfortunately following a nasty fall my front two teeth are now cracked and one of them has a chip in it. I am really sad as i didnt want to go down the veneers route, however i must fix this as its really getting me down! I am going to just have to accept the fact that i need to pay to sort it out. What i’d like to know is, is it possible to have veneers placed on just the front two, or front four upper teeth? or would this look odd compared to the rest? my teeth are very straight so it is my hope that they would not need to be shaved down very much. Basically i want to replicate my natural teeth. Do u think that veneers can look natural? many thanks for your time and advice.

My teeth are crooked and twisted in same direction and tooth is broken off

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have a question about treatment for a problem with my lower teeth – the four between the incisors on the lower jaw. They’ve always been crooked, all of them are twisted in the same direction. I always brush twice a day at least, however, I still have had problems. Whilst brushing I felt a piece of what felt like tooth come out. I checked and I noticed a yellow buildup all along the inside of them 4 teeth. And the tooth which part of came away from now feels broken from the bottom of it and sharp. It feels as if the lower quarter of the tooth has just come off. Also, the yellow deposits will not brush off at all. I have no idea why I have these as I always brush a minimum of twice a day. perhaps it’s because the crookedness stops the brush from reaching there. My question was two-fold:1) What can be done for the tooth which has been chipped away?

2) What is the yellow buildup on the teeth? 3) As a long term solution, can braces be used to straighten the teeth and to ensure that there aren’t any nooks for nasty stuff to build up in?

4) What would be the cost of such treatment?

5) How much of a tooth has to chip off before there\’s a risk of it falling out?.. Thanks very much for your time.

I hit my tooth while weightlifting and chipped it have I damaged my nerve

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I hit my mouth today with a metal bar quite hard while weightlifting and my front tooth is chipped, even worse it has been moved forward slightly and is no longer flush with the rest of my teeth. I am in a state of panic as i am unsure if it can be fixed simply. I havent seen a dentist for over 10 years and im quite worried about the procedure to put it right again. Please could you shed some light on the procedure to help settle my nerves. Is it simply pushed back or is the tooth going to have to be removed. I am not in any pain and the tooth seems healthy, it needs to be corrected by moving it back 1mm or 2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Can dental bonding be redone for gaps and chipped tooth

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Q.
I had a small space between my 2 front teeth and a little chip on my front tooth, but had those recently fixed with bonding. I was told it lasts generally 7-10 years because of staining/breakage. I was wondering though if only partial staining occurs or if the chipped part of the tooth returns, is the whole bonding procedure redone? If so, how does a dentist know where the original bonding was? (so that they don\’t cut into the actual tooth or miss taking off some of the bonding) I would appreciate information about this, thanks.
