I Have Spaces Between My Front Teeth. As A Student I’d Like To Know The Ideal Treatment For Fixing This?

Friday, July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes,

I have a question about my teeth. Basically my bottom teeth are fine but my upper teeth have spaces (gaps) between most of the front teeth. I’m really insecure about it and I want to do the 6 months smile programme. But I want to know how much the price will be for that and what is the best treatment I could have?

I’m a university student right now as well therefore I would be able only to spend maximum £1900 for my teeth. Therefore I wanna know the best treatment thats available for me please get my back to me if you can.

Thank you.

My Teeth Are Pointy. Is There Any Way I Can Get Them Reshaped Using Crowns?

Friday, July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello there Dr Moore. I hope you can help me out. I have quite pointy teeth (canines) and I sometimes I hurt myself when I accidentally bite the inside of my cheek. I’ve been researching a few treatments on-line but I’d like more information on treatments which could help me. Do you know if there any way pointy teeth can be crowned or re-shaped? How much would this cost and which treatment would be least invasive? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing your reply.

My Periodontal Disease Is Now Under Control. Which Treatment Will Make The Large Black Triangles Less Apparent?

Tuesday, July 1st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark, I have black triangles across my front upper teeth (incisors/canines) due to periodontal bone loss, some of them are large and noticeable when I smile. My periodontal disease is now being treated and is currently stable. Is cosmetic bonding a possible solution for making these black triangles less apparent? Are there any other methods for filling black triangles? Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your time.

I Have A Clean Chip In One Front Tooth Which Has Left A Huge Gap. Which Treatment Would I Need To Build It Back Up?

Monday, June 30th, 2014
Q.

Hi there Dr Moore, I have one tooth which is just right of the front in the top set which has a clean chip in it, meaning that its completely flat and is now only coming out all but millimetres, so you can see there is a tooth there but at the same time it leaves a huge gap

would this be able to be built up on or would an implant be the only option? I need something done. I’m just unaware of the different types of treatment available and I’d appreciate your advice. Thank you for your time. It would be great to hear back from you.

A Gap Between My Two Front Teeth Is My Main Worry. How Much Does Dental Bonding Cost And How Long Does It Take?

Friday, May 30th, 2014
Q.

Hey Dr Moore,  I hope you can help me. I have a few gaps between my teeth but my main worry is the one between my two front teeth about 2mm to 3mm wide. It’s only on my top jaw and I was wondering roughly how much would it cost me to get my teeth bonded and how long would it take? Do you know whether bonding is suitable for all cases? It’s something that has worried me for awhile and I’d really like to get this fixed as soon as possible so braces aren’t really in my thinking at the moment. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.

I’ve Broken A Crown. Should I Get A New Or Should I Consider Another Type Of Treatment?

Friday, May 16th, 2014
Q.

I would like some advice regarding my front tooth.

I have a front tooth porcelain crown which has fractured at the back & a piece has broken off. I have had this crown for 15 years.

Do you think I would benefit from having composite bonding & a veneer rather than a new porcelain crown?

Which is best to match my other teeth? My crown has discoloured slightly around the gum-line.

I welcome your advice & I would like to know costs please. Many thanks.

I Don’t Know What Treatment I’m Going To Get For The Gap In My Teeth And It Worries Me. Could You Tell Me?

Thursday, May 15th, 2014
Q.

Okay so, I am really nervous about what they are going to do to me and my teeth! This summer I am supposed to go to the dentists or orthodontists to see what they can do about the gap in my two front teeth. I am very nervous because I don’t know what I’m going to have to get. My gap is not super big but not very small maybe about 3mm? Anyways, I was wondering what they might do for me? I have heard of so many different treatments. The rest of my teeth are straight (as far as I can tell) so I don’t really care about doing anything to the rest of my teeth. Just the appearance of my two front ones. I have heard of braces, bonding, labial frenectamy or some weird thing like that? I don’t know if this matters but I do have a price of skin connecting my lip and my gums. I don’t know if other people have this too so I figured I would mention it just in case. I don’t think it is doing anything it is just sitting there.

I Have Small Gaps Between My Front Four Teeth. Which Low Risk Treatment Can I Have To Fix This?

Friday, May 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark. I have small gaps in my four front teeth, and my front two teeth have slightly more space than the other adjacent teeth. The two front teeth look bigger than the others when I smile. So what is the best way to fill all the gaps and improve, so I can have a beautiful smile without any risk or side effects. There are no cavities or pains in my teeth. I am a non-smoker and a non-drinker and a vegeterian. However, I take 3-4 cups of tea daily. So could you please advise me on what I could do? Thank you for your time.

A Had A Bad Slip And Snapped My Teeth. Would It Be Better To Use Cosmetic Bonding Or Veneers To Rebuild My Teeth?

Thursday, May 1st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark,

I’ve unfortunately slipped on a wet floor last week and landed on my jaw face down and have snapped off a third of both of my front teeth horizontally. There are also some minor cracks in the enamel which go up to the gum line in one tooth. My family’s NHS dentist covered the exposed roots over with a temporary white filling. I’ve got to leave it on for 2 weeks to see if the root decides to die off. He then suggested opting for composite bonding to re-build my teeth. I would really appreciate a second opinion from a cosmetic expert whether this was a sensible approach or whether veneers would be a better investment from the outset. Would the bonding method look okay and match the top half of my teeth? Can it be used to cover the cracks up to my gumline? Can it snap off easily as it’s quite a large area and further damage my existing teeth? Would be great to get your thoughts.

There Seems To Be A Gap Appearing Between My Two Front Teeth. What Treatment Would I Need To Fix This?

Thursday, May 1st, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I have a very slight gap appearing between my front two teeth. It’s not noticeable from far away but I know it’s there. I don’t believe there was a gap before. Can you please tell me what this is or why this is happening? What do I need to have done to bring them together again. It’s actually beginning to annoy me. I would like to know what my options are and how much treatment to repair this would cost. I’m afraid of ending up with a big gap between my teeth.

Kindest regards.
