The fillings on my front teeth are starting to discolour. Would I be a suitable candidate for Lumineers?

Friday, October 1st, 2010
Q.
I am 22 and have 6 fillings on my front teeth where my teeth wore down from eating too much fruit etc. They are starting to discolour and wear away and I am starting to get very self conscious about them. Would I be suitable for lumineers? Ive heard these are better for the teeth than veneers but is it possible to have them with fillings? Is there anything else you would suggest? Many Thanks,
A.

I have been told different things by two dentists. Who do I believe?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet I am at so so confused. I had a root canal treatment on my first premolar about 2 years ago. I didnt have a crown. Needless to say the remaining tooth broke after a year, first on the back. then at the front a year later. The embedded remaining piece which I assume being the filling, was loose. I had a white filling, I also had posts placed into my root canals. I first went to a dentist who said that nothing could be done in terms of having a crown, as what was left had been fractured, pointing to and showing me the loose bit that I myself earlier had discovered. Because of this the dentist recomended either an extraction, and the option between a bridge, denture or implant. I then went to another dentist, who said that I could have a crown fixed onto the tooth/ remaining piece even though this was a loose piece. I have really no idea what to do and who to believe and would really appriciate your help. Thank you, Kind Regards,
A.

Q.
Hi there I am really worried One of molars decayed needed filling after the birth of my daughter it has been filled which lasted a year. I had horrendous toothache went to the dentist where they temporary filled it . To see if the nerves in my tooth would settle. If not they suggested a root canal or extraction. My tooth has been fine for 7 months now the filling has fallen out, although i have a huge whole my tooth is fine. I am however very worried a s my gum has been throbbing which is near to the tooth this happens only now and then. Its not constant. I am petrified that its an abcess. I have a phobia of the dentist I have even been subscribed valium in the past thats why for the past three weeks I have be putting off going to see them. Also I would be quite happy to pay the dentist to fill my tooth every year as I am pertrified of having a root canal also Thanks in advance,

Can you please advise me on some treatment, and whether you offer finance options?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki I’ve actually been to see you before and really loved how comfortable I was made to feel as I’ve always been frightened of the dentist ever since I was little. When I was a child I was registered with a not very good dentist who tried and tried to fill one of my front teeth, spread filling stuff all over the tooth next to it, and eventually ended up putting on a very bad and bulky veneer. I’m almost 30 now, and I want my front teeth sorting out… I hate having my photo taken, as when I smile, I feel like the veneer sticks out and is magnified by the fact that the filling is still all over the tooth next to it and is quite discoloured… Also my two very front teeth overlap slightly, and one of them has a tiny chip in it, but it all adds to the downfall of my smile! What would you recommend? I know it’s going to be expensive, and wondered what kind of finance options you offer? Like most people, I don’t have much money going spare, but feel it would be worth it to regain confidence in my smile. Thanks,
A.
