Dear Dr.,

I’m thirty years old, and my two front teeth show some signs of wear and translucency at the bottom. I’d like to strengthen them and make them a few millimetres longer. This is because I am a little fearful of any negative risks to them in the future. I couldn’t stand it if one of them started to fall out or die! Obviously I understand that this is not really a dental health issue yet so I suppose you could call it an aesthetic issue.  If veneers are not the appropriate option for this, could you advise me what would best suit and what the estimated cost might be? It might be that they don’t really need too much work at all but I would like to know what approximations you could make.  I assume that any procedure would be done by a cosmetic dentist, and not through the NHS. I live in Cambridge, near one of the Oasys dental centres.

Sincerely, thank you.
