I Wonder If You Can Help Me. My Teeth Are Discoloured But I’m Not Sure My Fillings Will Whiten. What Should I Do?

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I wonder if you can help me. I feel my teeth are quite discoloured I would just get them whitened but many years ago I chipped both of my front teeth whilst on holiday. This was rebuilt by a dentist that morning. They were fine but I feel the bottom of my 2 front teeth are quite thin and don’t look right. Basically as the bottom of these teeth are not my own I’m not sure if they will whiten? Also one of my K9 teeth has a filling on the front and the whole tooth is very discoloured. I’m at a loss as to what my best options are and to be honest the very top of my budget would be £1000, could you advise me please?

My White Fillings Feel Bulky In My Mouth. Can I Have Them Safely Removed?

Monday, March 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hi. I recently had two front teeth filled with white filling and I’m not satisfied with the results. It feels bulky in my mouth, and I can feel pressure dragging down on my teeth constantly. There is also pain in my gum, right above the middle between the two teeth.

Can I safely remove them and have my original shape back? If the dentist has only “smoothed” the surface of the chipped tooth, does this mean my original tooth is shorter in length or not? I am very stressed about this, it has hugely impacted my mood and I wish I didn’t do it. If they fall out, do I have to replace them or not and do they stain over time?

Thanks.

I Seem To Have Chipped My Tooth And It Hurts My Tongue As It Has A Sharp Edge. Will I Need Surgery?

Thursday, January 16th, 2014
Q.

I seem to have chipped my tooth. When I run my tongue over, it has a real sharp edge and it makes my tongue sore. Will I need surgery or will it eventually smooth itself out? Just a concern that I wanted to ask you personally. Can I smooth it out by using something or just leave it? Can I buy anything from the chemist for a chipped tooth? Can there be an long-lasting damage to my tooth? Or could there be a concern it will it just smooth itself out in time? Hope it won’t need hospital treatment. Thank you for helping me out with this.

Tuesday, January 7th, 2014
Q.

Hello, I’m 18 and working and I desperately need braces due to my two front teeth have been pushed back and bent inwards, my bottom teeth have been pushed to one side and are slanted, I have a chip on one tooth and they’re all different lengths.
Will I have to pay for them braces? If yes, how much will they cost me? And will I have to pay every year or have a payment scheme? If I will be able to get braces how can I set up an appointment for this or will I go on a waiting list?

I Am 5 Months Pregnant. Would I Get A White Filling For Free Through The NHS?

Thursday, December 5th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’m currently nearly 5 months pregnant, I have a maternity exemption form and I just wanted to know something, a couple of months after I had my son I was brushing my teeth and the inside corner up to the halfway mark chipped off one of my top front teeth, I never got it looked at because I was always ashamed of it never smiling in front of people and never laughing and so from then a month or two after that it broke up to the top and was more ashamed to let anybody see it. It’s been like this now for around 2 years, would I have to pay for this as it would need a white filling, thanks in advance.

I Chipped A Front Tooth A Few Years Back. Should I Have The Other One Reshaped?

Monday, November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie. I chipped one of my front teeth a few years back now but the tooth I chipped has always been longer than the one next to it. Do you think I could I get some sort of reshaping to make it the same length as the one next to it? If so how much do you think would it cost? I need about 2 mm taken of the tooth so its the same length. The part of the tooth that is chipped is now the same length as the other teeth, so the reshaping would also have to match the chip. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

I’m Wondering How I Should Treat The Chip In My Tooth. With Veneers Or Reshaping?

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can help me. My enquiry relates to the fact that I have a chip on my front tooth that is filled with composite, however this constantly keeps coming off. I have been told a veneer is an option however I am wondering if having the tooth reshaped would be a better option? I am worried that the chip in my tooth may be too large to reshape. Any advice you could offer would be great as this is something that constantly worries me and affects my confidence. Thanks, I look forward to any advice you can offer.

I Lost My Crown And Chipped My Tooth But I Don’t Like The Way My Temporary Crown Rests On My Lower Lip, Should It Be There?

Thursday, September 5th, 2013
Q.

Hi, in the past I have had an accident while diving and I’ve lost the crown to my front incisor and chipped the tooth next to it. I’m in the process of having my local NHS dentist repair the damage and I’m a quite a bit concerned.
The refitted temporary crown sits at an odd angle and now rests on my lower lip. I’m told that this is the best that they can do and that the permanent crown will most likely be the same. There was no other damage and I’m confused as to why the crown that was fitted before served me for years and now I’m having this ugly radical alternative? Can you help me understand why this is? Thank you.

Can Cosmetic Bonding Be Carried Out On The Whole Smile?

Thursday, August 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I recently chipped my upper right front tooth. My local dentist has now seen to it using a bonding agent and the appearance of my tooth is great, exactly the same as before. But now it has got me thinking of using the same thing for the rest of my teeth to improve the overall appearance. I have slight gaps between a few of my upper teeth which does leave me quite paranoid. Would you recommend bonding on the rest of the teeth? I’m just slightly worried that I’ll have to keep having the treatment replaced and that I’ll have to lose a lot of tooth structure.  I think it would be better if all my teeth matched up perfectly too as the new bonding is slightly brighter than the rest of my teeth but only I can notice it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
