I’m Concious Of My Smile Now That My Crowns Have Dropped. What Can I Do To Fix This?

Friday, April 11th, 2014
Q.

Dear Mark. I have 2 post crowns on the upper right 1 and 2. The 2 crowns have dropped and they are now longer than the rest of my teeth. They have been like this for a little while. As far as I know there is no reason for them to have dropped. There is no movement of the crowns they have just dropped. I am very conscious of it and try not to smile as much. Can the crowns be filed down so they are the same length as the rest of my teeth or will I have to get replacements? If so, would I need to have new posts as well? I have been to the dentist who took X-rays and he said that they are fine and ‘well stuck in’. He gave me no help what so ever, he just wanted to get the next patient in. Any information you could give me would be gratefully received. Thanks.

My Teeth Have Gone Black After A Root Canal Making My Veneers Discoloured. Is This A Common Problem And How Can It Be Resolved?

Monday, January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi. Just over 2 years ago I had a smile makeover at my local dentist. This involved teeth whitening first and then 6 upper veneers and 3 lower. I had to have root canal on 3 or 4 of the teeth because my dentist advised me they had to file the original tooth close to the nerve.
After 2 years I have noticed 2 have started to go black. In my opinion it’s the tooth behind that is black and it is starting to show through the veneers making the veneer seem darker than the others.
I have been to see my dentist and she advises nothing is wrong and the only thing she could do if I was still worried would be to drill the veneers off and smear white cement over the original tooth and replace with a new veneer at my expense of course!
Is this a common problem and how can it be resolved?
Do teeth tend to go black once root canal has occurred?
I can send a picture if that will help explain my issues. Thanks.

Is there anything I should be aware of when looking for an Invisalign practitioner in my area?

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello,
I am currently looking to have invisalign braces as my dentist has recommended that that is the best option for my required result. I am unsure which practitioner to choose in my area. Are there any guidelines/ qualifications i should be looking for and is there anything i should be aware of? Are there any other forms of cosmetic tooth straightening available similar to this?

Friday, September 14th, 2012
Q.

Hello..My teeth are inclined outwards. Though it doesnt look bad if not for the midline diastema. Does crowning help in pushing the teeth inwards? I also want to get rid of midline diastema. Please advice..My dentist has advised me to go for crowning.Iam very much confused as I dont have the time for putting on braces.I want a good response but in a short time. If only crowning could help.Also want to know can I leave the teeth as it is only after some grinding without crowning..will dat not be ok? Thanks

I want veneers but I have a gum infection, what would you advise?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

hi there, I am considering receiving vaneers but i have receding gums due to a gum infection i had. i am unsure if vaneers are even right for me and if this could be sorted out by a less painfull process, what do you think? my gums have receded to quite far down on my bottom jaw. everywhere else is healthy i think. but the bit at the front (at the bottom) is not the same at all. two of my front bottom teeth are very slightly loose feeling. i do not know if it is just my imagination. all i want to do is to regain my usual smile. please help me. thanks.

I lost my front tooth but the root is still intact, would the root have to be removed so I can receive a dental implant?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi

I have recently lost my front tooth, the root is still intact, I was wondering if I would have to remove the root to get a dental implant fitted, or is there a technique where you can use the root as a base.

Also, I would like to know about a smile remake over, I would like my other tooth contoured and the front few teeth looked at. What is the latest in contouring and imaging on teeth to get the best results
