No sign of an abscess but there is bad pain please help!

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
My 13 y/o son had a broken front tooth repaired in May w/ a veneer placed. For the past 2 days, he has severe pain above the tooth but no notable signs of abscess. This morning he woke up and his front lip is mildly swollen. The pain increases at night with Advil only mildly helping. What do you think is going on and what are his options. He sees the Dentist tomorrow morning. Thanks!!!,

Are lumineers better than dental veneers?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi. Are lumineers cemented in place with traditional veneer cement and if so how are they removed to leave the tooth underneath undamaged? Also, if the tooth is not cut down do the lumineers make your teeth stick-out? Are lumineers better than normal veneers? thanks,

Is it worth getting a crown that only lasts 6 months?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
I lost my top tooth. It has had root canal treatment and was also a crown. My dentist says I can have a crown or a bridge. One of the teeth next to it is a veneer. He has sugested getting a implant but I can’t really afford it! There is no tooth left so I just wondered is it worth getting a crown as he said it could only last 6 months. What are the chances of the bone going as I might be able to afford an implant at a later date. What do you think I should do?,

Can I have my dental veneers replaced on the NHS?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
I have had veneers since I was 15 yrs old as I had a gap between my two front teeth. Dentist thought veneers would be solution. I got them done free on NHS. I have had veneers replaced since then as I am now 33 yrs old – these were also done for free on the NHS. I have now had these replacement veneers for 7 yrs but one is so thin that it has a slight chip in it and it has moved forward and is not inline with rest of teeth. I am now looking for this to be replaced – would I have to pay for this private or could I get this done again free on the NHS??,

Is there any surgery available to have the gaps in my front teeth closed?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
I have perfectly healthy teeth, but was always told by dentists that my top layer would gradually close and have less gaps, they are not huge gaps but enough to be noticed and get me down. I am now nearly 22 and feel these gaps will now never close. Is there any surgery i can get to close these front 4 top teeth, or what is the best option? :),
