Q.
Hi, I have had white fillings on both of my 2 front teeth on the inside edge where they both meet. I have never really been happy with the result as they are a lot closer together than before hand, and they have a really dark shadow effect when I smile. What are my options here?

I have had ongoing problems with my teeth for many years

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
Hi doctor, I have had ongoing problems with my teeth for many years, e.g. a small filling, then larger aone then crown then the post crown snapped and i had tooth extracted… i moved onto a maryland bridge as not to effect good teeth…. this has been a similar story for alot of my teeth,,,, at times my crowns have felt low…as i clench my teeth when sleeping i feel that this has put pressure on my teeth over the years and i am now left with only two teeh on my right lower side and one of those is a crown… I am now going down the implant route, overall I need maximum 4 or minimum two, however I am worried that my clenching will cause the same damage to the implants??? Also, I do really like my dentist however, I dont know whether to get a second opinion, as I feel disloyal and would I really use another dentist as I have been with my dentist for 20 years….. but do I know whether she has provided my with high quality treatment ???? My dentist used to be nhs and treatment felt rushed as she was very busy, (the practice is in the most prestigious area in the city)… Now as a private dentist it still feels rushed?? are these good signs??? I feel so vunerable right now and unconfident…. I have looked for information on what makes a good dentist but to no avail as information is very broad and non specific….please help

How can i repair surface tooth loss from my front teeth

Friday, August 15th, 2008
Q.
Hello there. I have recently noticed that i have quite bad surface tooth loss on my top four front teeth. Because of this where the bottoms of my front top teeth are quite thin and fragile, one is now starting to chip. My dentist has confirmed this to me. The answer they gave me was ” there is no repair” just prevention work to make sure this problem does not get any worse. But i do want to repair my teeth and stop these chips from happening anymore. I feel i can no longer smile at people because although tiny, these chips feel massive to me. the tooth surface loss in sadly to my having my tongue pierced in my early youth and i used to roll the stud along my upper teeth, and also alot of fizzy drinks. What treatment would you reccomend and what sort of price am i looking at.

Can I have my veneers replaced with composite veneers

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Q.
Dr. Caplan, I have been a case of bad denistry. I had six top porcelain veeners at age 18 that are now bulky, fake looking and long. I used to have a small chip.I am 23 now. I want to have them removed and want the doctor to use composite resin to shape them the same as my old teeth to get my character back. Can this be done? I know it takes a lot of skills from the doctor. Have you ever heard this case before? Even though I have tooth removal, can composite replace my porcelain case. I know I will have more maintenace however, I like the composite look a lot better. Thank you for your time.

I want porcleain dental bonding on 4 of my teeth

Friday, July 25th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Rob Tennet First of all I would like to congratulate you on your impressive career history you have, this is the reason I selected you to ask my questions. I have a few questions and was wondering if you can help. I am thinking about getting 4 of my teeth worked on using dental bonding (ideally porcelain rather than composite bonding).
Q1) How much roughly should I be paying per tooth to have porcelain bonding done?

Q2) I hate having injections on my gums. If I have porcelain bonding done on 4 of my teeth, would I requre any injections on my gums?

Q3) Does having porcelain bonding really stain my teeth in the long run, if so is it really obvious? Thanks for you help Regards
