What treatment is available to correct a prominent gum line?

Friday, December 10th, 2010
Q.

I’m 18 and have just finished my braces treatment, my teeth are straight, but my gums are quite big, making my teeth appear smaller , which is really noticeable when i smile really big or laugh, also although my teeth are straight there is still a tiny tiny gap between my two front teeth, so not perfectly joined together. They were like this when the braces came off so it is not lack of wearing retainer etc. What would you suggest me do? As at the moment i do feel self conscious when smiling.

I had the small gap in my front teeth closed but now it’s reappearing, what should I do?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi, I had a metal brace years ago to straighten two potroding incisors and close a small gap between my to front teeth. When i got my brace off i was given a plastic clear retainer to wear. However I dont think i kept it on long enough and now years later the gap has slightly appeared and an incisor is starting to potrude again. It doesnt look that bad, but im worried if i leave it, it ill get worse and i want the gap closed. Are there any minor treatments you would advise? and a rough estimate of cost?

What teeth straightening procedures take the least amount of time and do dentists offer student discount?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

Hi. I am 22 and I have a 2mm gap between my front two teeth. I am looking into ways I can get this treated – veneers and 6 month smile. I leave to go traveling in about 6 months, would that be an issue for the 6 month smile option? The rest of my teeth seem fine.
Also, since I am at university is there any sort of discount on dental? Or would I have to pay for it all?
Thanks

Would a bridge be suitable for a tooth that is fractured and another that is deeply filled?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I am a 53 year old female. Have always taken great care of my teeth. Over recent years have been treated by my dentist and hygienist for receding gums. Visited my dentist yesterday with what I though was just a crack in one of my old fillings, only to be told that the tooth was actually fractured vertically. It is in my upper jaw and third from the back. I have a wide smile and it will definitely show if I have it removed. My dentist advised that it may last for a year, (he drilled out the old filling and repacked it)
He was less than helpful about my options and I left the surgery confused and shocked. My question is would I be better off having an implant or a bridge to replace the gap. One of the teeth that would be needed to support the bridge is deeply filled. Also a guide to how much this would cost would be useful.
Thank you very much for your time.
