Would Lumineers be suitable treatment for snapped tooth?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Q.
One of my front teeth snapped in half about 15 years ago. It was ‘glued’ back on and has lasted all that time. It has however now come off three times in the last two months.

Is this something that you think would work/be appropriate for my situation?,

It really depends on how much … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would braces be covered by the NHS?

Friday, March 5th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan, i am 27 and have what i consider really crooked teeth which are probably caused by an overlapping bight. I have arranged through my dentist to see a specialist about braces or what would need to be done and my dentist says it would probably require surgery to align the jaw. Would the NHS cover any of this? I dont have a high paying job, but have a crooked smile really affects my confidence and i really want to get this fixed.,

This is unlikely to be covered… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
