Q.

hiya DR Hughes, i hope you’re okay?

my question is that i have not very bad teeth but quite bad and haven’t really looked after them and know i should have. i am 23 years of age and my front tooth has chipped and left a small gap. i have other holes and stuff in my teeth just wondering what could be done to improve and get them right and white again? for example my tooth at the front has a finger nail thickness gap now and also have holes and gaps else where but not many. they are straight enough and basically i have been scared of dentist for a while i would like to be knocked out or similar procedure for my teeth to be put right again as i really do have a phobia of the dentist…any advice?

Do you think a dental implant will fix the gap in my teeth?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012
Q.

My age is 30. In the lower jaw I have natural gap between two teeth. Previously this gap was very small and negligible. now since last 2-3 yrs it is increased. this gap is little less than one tooth size in width.
This is really very irritating, in looks and while eating. I dont have any other teeth problems other than that my all teeths are very yellow and seems like I smoke, actually i don’t. Should i go for implant? If yes do i need to go for 3-4 teeth implants or add single tooth? Does implant last for life and what care is required in the long run? please suggest any other solution otherwise.? Thanking you.

If I only need some mild orthodontic work can I expect cheaper prices?

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
Q.

I have a small gap between my two front teeth.
I have no other problems, my issue is merely cosmetic.
As the problem is only slight; would this decrease the price of the brace? I have no knowledge of the dentistry profession, thought I imagine smaller imperfections would be quicker to fix.
Is it worth looking abroad for cheaper dentistry? It’s something I would like to get done, but due to the nature of the imperfection, it doesn’t warrant spending a great deal.
Any information insofar as figures are concerned would be fantastic.
N.B: I only want to correct my teeth alignment, I have no desire for anything which is invasive to the tooth itself.

What treatments can I expect to have during a smile makeover?

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Mark Hughes,

I have recently had my two front teeth chipped almost in half. I currently have temporary fillers on them, i have generally nice teeth, but as i am going to want them looking how they did before i am wanting to spend more money and have a total smile makeover.

I have a gap in my teeth which i’d quite like to keep, i would quite like my top teeth to be pulled in, as they protrude slightly and for the bottom teeth to be straightened and aligned. I am not sure whether this will require braces/invisalign/veneers/removals and/or crowns.

I am keen to start the process asap.

What is the best option to close my front tooth gap?

Monday, January 23rd, 2012
Q.

I have an 1/8 in gap between my two front teeth and I was wondering if you would recommend orthofill bands as a solution…or what would you recommend.. its unsightly to me. I’ve done quite a bit of research on orthofill sounds OK except I haven’t had any expert advice I would appreciate some pointers. Also I am a 23 yr old male and have been wanting to fix the problem since my teen years it always embarrassed me. I would love to smile with confidence and would rather not get braces if there is another way being my teeth are really straight other than the gap. Thanks

The two crowns fitted to my front teeth are too big, is there anything I can do?

Thursday, October 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi I had veneers fitted 15 years ago to close quite a large gap I had in my front teeth. I never thought of having a brace fitted at the time & thought this would be a quick fix to solve the problem. My dentist suggested I had crowns fitted as the veneers were continuously falling out. My front teeth look too big compared to the rest of my teeth & I am very self consious about this. I was wondering if there was any way these could be made to look smaller, or is there nothing I can do about this due to having crowns fitted. If this could be done would it be very expensive to correct.

A.

How good are over the counter whitening treatments in comparison to whitening from a dentist?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Rob,
I would like just a little advice on the best route for 2 issues. I drink quite a lot of coffee and my teeth are an ‘0ff-white- colour. I would really like a gleaming white smile now and wondered what the best way would be to achieve it? About a year or so ago I purchased Dr George’s Dental White, but have only used on a few occasions as im very sceptical of any damage? Is this a good product? I have also just recently purchased the Transformulas professional whitening kit, and after a few appliances it does ‘appear’ to have made a difference. Is professional surgery really the only way to achieve my goal, or are these products worthwhile?
I also have a very slight gap between my top front two teeth and would like this closed, any advice also would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time
