What procedure would be best for straightening and whitening my teeth, and how much would it cost?

Monday, January 10th, 2011
Q.

I am not very familiar with all procedures and prices avaliable, but I have few issues about my teeth. I would need to streight 3 of them, maybe straight the crowns of 4 of them and also I would like them to be whitened (they not in a bad condition). I am 18 years old. What would be the best procedure for me n maybe you could give me an average price I could expect??? Thank you 🙂

My crown has moved, do i need to get it replaced?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Q.

HI Dr Solanki,

I got a crown fitted over 10 years ago to cover over a crooked tooth. It actually looked quite natural and i was happy with it. Unfortunately a few months ago it seems to have moved slightly towards the left, which has left a slight gap between that and my front tooth.This I don’t like and would like it fixed. Would i need to get a whole new crown or could a dentist fill that gap naturally somehow?

Many thanks.

I decided to get my healthy tooth veneered after getting a cap for another one. Bit mistake. What can be done to correct this?

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010
Q.

I just had my crown replaced on my front tooth, with a procelin cap,and I decided to get the other healthy tooth next to it veneered. The veneered tooth is thick and bulky and there is a super thick spot in the back of the tooth as well as a slight ledge. My cap is slightly shorter than the veneer, not at all what my teeth looked like. I HATE THEM!!!!! How labor intensive would it be to correct.

My bottom teeth are worn down, I think because I may grind my teeth in my sleep. Should i get crowns or veneers?

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010
Q.

Hi. I am fifty five years old and my teeth are well looked after, and quite white with the bleaching that I have done every five years with my dentist. The problem is that my bottom teeth are quite worn down, i may grind them in my sleep. I have started to wear the cover that were for the bleaching to stop me from doing this. What do yiou think is the best option for me. Either to have crowns on them all, which II understand to be very very strong these days. Or for veneers, but are they as good, or as long lasting.

What metals are used in crowns?

Friday, December 10th, 2010
Q.

I was advised to have my gold crown removed (dentist said x-ray showed ‘a problem’). I’ve had the new crown about a year. The You & Yours programme about aluminum bronzes worried me as my crown is bronze coloured. Wrote to my dentist asking what metals were in my crown. She replied: zinc, silver, gold, palladium, indium and iridium. Because of my residual concern I would be grateful if you would confirm that this alloy would result in a bronze colour, and that there is no risk of the metals leaching.
