I’m a 20 year old male and when I was younger I chipped my 2 front teeth, about 5-6 mm from the inner side of each tooth creating a small arch in the centre of my smile. I’m looking into the options I have to fix this. I’ve researched dental bonding and and composite veneers and would like any information on my options and what you as a professional see as the best option for me.
Thank you in advance.
Hello Dr Gambroudes. My two front teeth are longer than my lips. This makes me open my whole mouth wide just to say a single word. I have little to no confidence or self esteem. My teeth make me look ugly. What can I do about this? I’ve been browsing around and I’ve got some information about veneers, dental bonding and surgery, etc. I am still trying to get a proper advise on what to do. I hope I would get some advice from yourself? Thank you.
Good morning Dr Hughes. I want to know how to get rid of stains of my two front teeth. I would really want them whiter but I’m too nervous to go and see the dentist. I’m getting married in 2015 and I would like them to be whiter by then. Is there anything I can try at home? I’m brushing my teeth with pearl shine toothpaste, is there anything else could I try? Can you help me? My parents say I should go to the dentist locally but I’m too nervous. Thank you.
Dear Dr Moore. I have a small gap between my front teeth. I consulted a dentist recently but they told me that if I wear braces then one of my front teeth will come under the other. But this gap is really annoying. Is there any way to close the gaps naturally without having to fill gaps and all? I feel very disappointed with these gaps. I don’t like to use artificial methods to fill gaps. Do you know how much treatment would cost? Thank you for your time.
Hi Mark. I am a student which means money is tight, therefore I want to know more about costing. I have a rather small gap between my front two teeth around 1mm wide, and the rest of my teeth are ‘perfectly’ aligned and straight therefore I feel no point opting for braces but it is something on my face which I very much dislike. Consequently I was wondering how much roughly this will cost to amend with teeth bonding?
Thank you for your time!
Hi Dr Hughes. I have gaps starting to form on my top teeth, these include between the front two (slightly) and beside each tooth on the opposite side of my front teeth. I am 17 and I want to know what I can get to help (apart from braces). I have seen on the internet that you can get bands to buy to reduce the gap in your teeth, but I want to know what other options are available for me to help the situation. This has only been the case for 4-5 months now. It would be great if you could help me with some advice about what I should consider doing. Thank you!
Hi Marcus, Could you possibly tell me how much dental bonding roughly costs for filling in a gap and shaping on the front teeth? I am curious as I have a gap between my front teeth it, isn’t too big but annoys me, also the bottom of my two front teeth are starting to wear away. Is there any real point in getting bonding done or is it just a waste of time and money, what are the benefits of this treatment? Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, I recently chipped my upper right front tooth. My local dentist has now seen to it using a bonding agent and the appearance of my tooth is great, exactly the same as before. But now it has got me thinking of using the same thing for the rest of my teeth to improve the overall appearance. I have slight gaps between a few of my upper teeth which does leave me quite paranoid. Would you recommend bonding on the rest of the teeth? I’m just slightly worried that I’ll have to keep having the treatment replaced and that I’ll have to lose a lot of tooth structure. I think it would be better if all my teeth matched up perfectly too as the new bonding is slightly brighter than the rest of my teeth but only I can notice it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
I have a 4mm gap between my two front teeth and I am looking at getting it fixed. All of the rest of my teeth are fine and I have no other gaps at all. My teeth are also perfectly straight. Would bonding be possible here or is the gap too large? I don’t want veneers because I don’t want to lose any of my natural tooth structure. I really want the gap closing and bonding seems to be the best way from what I have read but as I said I’m unsure of the procedure and if it would be suitable for me. I would just love a general idea or if there’s anything else you can suggest? That would also be great. I would just like an idea so I can gather the funds to have this fixed once and for all. Many thanks.
