i would be grateful if you could offer me some advise regarding my teeth and gums as my dentist doesnt seem to be interested in helping…
i have receding gums on my top and bottom teeth and they seem to be getting worse. i have took the advise and now brush with an electric tooth brush or a soft brush but the receding is getting worse. im 29yrs old and along with this problem my teeth seem to be wearing down, they have become see through in places and have generally become weaker and thinner. my dentist filled the receding areas on my bottom teeth with some filling but it now stands out from the colour of my teeth and people are starting to notice. in the past i had my teeth whitened but the whitener seeped into my receding teeth and has left white areas in the teeth itself which is very noticable.. whilst the teeth are wearing down gaps are becoming bigger. all these problems are getting me down and they are getting worse.
would i be able to have caps or veneers etc on top of my own teeth to cover the problems and can they be made to look perfect? can you have caps/veneers when you have receding gums??? i want a natural smile and dont want to worry about my teeth becoming worse…

Am I too old for Invisalign? and would my Veneers be an issue?
Friday, March 4th, 2011 Hello,
I have two questions….
1/ I am 53yrs..Am I too old to have Invisalign ?
2/ I did have a brace in my 30’s which straightened my teeth to a certain level but I still have two veneers to make my teeth look as even as possible. If I did have treatment, would these veneers to be removed during treatment?
Thanks
Could Veneers be used to lengthen my teeth?
Friday, March 4th, 2011Hi. My upper set of teeth are very small and do not extend beyond my top lip. This causes some speech issues, particularly with the ‘s’ sound. I basically need them lengthening by around five millimetres. Would lumineers achieve this?

I have had major dental work done which needs to be redone, what should I do?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 I had veneers and crowns done and the work had to be redone after 1yr. The veneers were all cracked and decay started around the crown. Now it has been 5 month since the last work and the same problems are happening, lickage, decay and gum inflamation. I got a second opinion from a reputable dentist and the work that has to be redone is estimated at $15 000.00. Should the dentist pay for it. I had no problem prior to the cosmetic work. I just wanted my front teeth to be straight the big fillings to be removed. Now I have major problems including rooth infection due to too much drilling.
What should I do? I can’t stay like this. I am constantly in pain.
Thank you.
