Hello, i have one front tooth longer than the other

Thursday, October 30th, 2008
Q.
Hello, i have one front tooth longer than the other and was advised if got a brace it would drop back down again in time, i was advised that i could get a slice of the longer tooth so my two front teeth would be level and my dentist would build it up with veneer, do you think would this cause sensitivity or discolouring in time? Any advice greatfully received Thank you.

I have been going to the same dental pratice for 40 years

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
Q.
I have been going to the same dental pratice for 40 years and found their approach and treatment on the NHS excellent. A few years ago the dentist in chage of the practice retired and now there is quite a turnover of dentists and cosmetic treatments of various kinds are being advertised. I was advised at my last check-up that as i had so few teeth there was “noise” where my jawbone commects with my skull and therefore I need a denture for my lower jaw to lessen impact. Another dentist whom I visited briefly fifteen years ago because his practice was much nearer made a denture for the lower jaw but though I persisted with it for months it was so uncomfortable that I gave up wearing it. I am not aware at present of any discomfort. What would you advise in my case about looking into implants?

I would need to do a clinical … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My Sons second teeth all have intrinsic discolorisation

Sunday, October 26th, 2008
Q.
My Sons second teeth all have intrinsic discolorisation. I myself had the same problem, and had veneers fitted when I was 18. It is severly affecting my sons confidence, as children can be quite cruel and comment on his problem everyday. I have spoken to my dentist, taken him to a local cosmetic dentist and also an orthadontist at our local hospital but they all say that he will have to wait until he is at least 16 before he can have any treatment. Can you please help?I have heard about bonding and lumineers, would any of these be right for my child or do you have any other suggestions?

do you know a cosmetic dentist in chennai

Sunday, October 26th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Komai Suri, The website looks really good and useful and is the first I have seen of this kind. I want to ask what I should or could do about my teeth which have been worn down by grinding at night. I’m 28 and have now started to wear a mouthguard. The tips of my front teeth are transparent and sometime shatter due to years of wear during the night. My dentist at home would simply grind off the very end to make them even again..however this can’t go on for ever and I now notice the length as well as the transparency. Would veneers be an option if I was to continue with the mouthguard? The other and perhaps most important question is how I can find a very good dentist for this sort of things here in Chennai, India, where I am now teaching for the next 2 years. ? Do you know of anyone, or could you put me touch with someone who might know or what should I do. The thought of taking a gamble on this sort of thing is terrifying!! Thankyou in advance for any help you can offer

I fell flat on my face at the weekend and have broken two of my top front teeth

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008
Q.
I fell flat on my face at the weekend and have broken two of my top front teeth. I went to my dentist today and because one of them only has a small peice of tooth left in the gum and is quite painful she has said that I need a root canal and then it will need to to capped. She states that there is nothing they can do as a temporary fix and my first appointment for the root canal is 2 weeks away and then I will have to wait another two weeks for the trestment to be completed. The other tooth is slightly longer and she thinks that she can just fill it which concerns me as there will be a lot more filling than tooth and as it is my biting tooth Im worried the filling may fall out all the time and look a bit rough. Id rather pay more and have another cap or do you think a filling would surfice? The last thing I want is a dodgy job done, I want to look like I did before the fall! Is it true that there is no temporary measure they can do as I cant really have a month of work and there is no way I can go out in public like this!
