One tooth is smaller than the others, what can I do?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am 19 y.o. and I have an adult canine in the place of my right lateral incisor, where the permanent teeth is actually missing. In the place where the permanent canine should be, I still have the deciduous / baby canine. It doesn’t look too bad, although sometimes I think it looks a bit like a “vampire”. Another problem is that the deciduous tooth is always getting smaller, although it’s still healthy. What is the best to do? What are my options? I don’t wanna go through a long orthodontic tratment as I’m about to enter college. Thanks for your support!

What is the best way to close a gap between front teeth?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

hi I have had a gap inbetween my front two teeth since they came through I find them them really uncomfortable to smile with and just dont feel happy in myself because I know they are there. I have asked many dentists I have had if I can get them filled in or something or other and all of them have said to me I cant. from what I can see on this website that you can truthfly and a few people I know have had this procedure.
Also what would the cost be for this.

Could cosmetic bonding help smooth my chipped veneer?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

I had a veneer six years ago to replace one that broke. The veneer looked very good when fitted colour etc, but immediately upon eating found that the bottom teeth hit the underside of the veneer. Returning to the dentist they then took away some of the back of the veneer, which made eating ok again.
Six months later after eating a piece of hard bread the tooth cracked at one side. Again returning to the dentist they smoothed down the tooth, it was now slightly shorter and rounder.
I did contact the dentist 2 years later who said they would replace it, as I preferred the original veneer, (unfortunately they couldn�t find the original mould) but thought the same thing could happen again so I decided to leave it.
However never being entirely happy with this tooth I wondered what your thoughts were, and if cosmetic bonding to fill in the slightly chipped look and to make the tooth slightly longer would work?
The tooth next to the veneer has been aligned slightly with composite bonding that was done at the same time the original veneer was fitted by the dentist.
Thank you.

What other options than braces does my 14 year old daughter have?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

my 14 yr old daughter has seen an orthodentist who has said she needs 4 extractions and then a brace. she has only minor crowding on the bottom front teeth at one side and doesn’t like her pointy canines at the top which are noticible when she smiles.the dentist said she needed the extractions to be able to line up her bite correctly. on looking at her the teeth are only a couple of mm off and not really noticible. given that her issues seem quite minor would she be able to correct the canines with veneers to achieve as nicer look without all the extractions and braces.

Hello doctor,i wonder if you could help.

I would like my to get the gaps in my teeth closed, my teeth whitening and slightly shaped. I would also like both top and bottom rows done, apart from my morlars on both rows.
Generally how much do you think this would cost with the following:
a) Cosmetic Bonding
b) Veneers
c) Crowns
Is there anything else you would suggest that would be better for me to do to achieve my aim?

Thank you very much for your time.

My front teeth are crowded and protrude but due to short roots i have been advised against braces, any advice?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello sir, i have very short roots on my front two teeth and have accordingly been advised against getting braces. My front teeth are slightly crowded, protruding by about 3.5mm. I am wondering about getting veneers to slightly reduce this, as i am an actor and aesthetics are very important to me. I have read of new dentin bonding technologies that allow veneers to correct such a problem, and was just wondering if you thought this was a wise idea. Any advise would be greatly appreciated- thanks alot
