I Grind My Teeth And Have Had Some Sensitivity. Do You Know What Treatment I Could Have To Fix This?

Thursday, July 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I recently got a new crown (second last back tooth lower on the right) it cost me quite a bit and it is super sensitive to hot/cold. I’m 56 years old and I have been prepared for another crown. I do grind my teeth and I have had sensitivity problems for quite a while with various teeth and some near the new crowns. I’ve been to a dental hospital but they dropped me as they said I would find cheaper treatment elsewhere. Do you know what I could do to find this cheaper treatment? Thank you for taking the time to listen to my problem.

I Went Through A Period Of Grinding My Teeth. What Treatment Would You Recommend For Short, Stubby Teeth?

Monday, June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I am seeking a good composite bonding dentist in the London area.
I went through a period of teeth grinding. I have now stopped although I still use a night guard.
This has resulted in shorter and ground down teeth to the upper and bottom front teeth.
Can you please suggest how I locate a good dentist for this work and although I know they do not last as long as porcelain veneers, would this be a recommended treatment for short, stubby teeth? Would there be another treatment I could consider? Many thanks.

I’ve Just Got Veneers 5 Months Ago And I’m Hearing A Popping Sound. Have You Ever Heard Of This Problem Before?

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mark, I have several new veneers – top front. They were fitted 5 months ago and I’m hearing little sounds and getting a slight feeling like pressure in those veneered teeth before I hear the sound. Almost like a pop. My dentist checked my jaw and also tried to see if the veneers were loose but they are stuck on. They were x-rayed too and the only thing was a black area under one veneer which the dentist said was probably a thicker bit of the cement. The noise is definitely from my veneered teeth and I didn’t have it with my old veneers only my new ones. I notice the sounds mainly after I’ve had soup or coffee or brushed my teeth but not only then. It’s really puzzling and my dentist is at the point where he has run out of ideas for what is causing this. Have you ever heard of this kind of problem with veneers?

A.
Yes sometimes. It’s usually (b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Do I Need A Softer Night Guard To Protect My Brand New Gorgeous Veneers?

Thursday, January 30th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. Last year I had a hard acrylic night guard for my bottom set of teeth as I grind my teeth and recently I got my gorgeous upper veneers fitted.  My question is, should I continue to wear the hard mouth guard or get fitted for a softer one? I am concerned that my grinding against the hard plastic can wear down my new veneers.

I grind with my back teeth and not the front but it still worries me that the hard acrylic may harm my new teeth. Your help is much appreciated.

I’ve Had Different Types Of Veneers Fitted Over The Years Which Keep Falling Off. Why Is This Happening?

Monday, December 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hello.
On my next to front tooth I had a porcelain veneer which only lasted five years. It fell off and I swallowed it! My dentist fitted a composite veneer on an emergency visit which lasted for only 2 years. That fell off and went down the sink. I then had another composite the next day as an emergency which is on now and is horrible. I follow a really good hygiene programme and have visited the dentist every 6 months since the age of 3. I am now 52. Why do they keep falling off? Whatever type I have? I am reluctant to have a high cost porcelain veneer fitted as the fear of losing it is probable. Thank you in anticipation.

These are good questions. It c… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I’ve Been Told I Grind My Teeth And Now My Veneers Are Falling Apart. Is There A More Durable Option?

Friday, November 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr.Andrew. I had three veneers done on my front teeth two years back and later they started falling off. I was told by my doctor to use a mouth guard as I may be grinding teeth. Also I took all precautions as to maintain them like I don’t bite anything hard, etc. I don’t like them now, they keep on falling and I’ve tried every other option. Do I have any other option apart from veneers as I don’t want to continue with them? Or can I go for implants as veneers are an irreversible procedure? Please help me with this problem and thank you for your advice.

I’m Worried By My Worn Down Teeth, My Dentist Doesn’t Think Crowns Are Suitable. What Can I Do?

Thursday, November 14th, 2013
Q.

My upper back teeth are worn down and I’ve never had crowns fitted.  My dentist won’t address my concerns and said to leave
them as they are. I’m 43 years
old. My lower teeth are
capped and I have a denture on the other side. The advice given is to leave them for another year. I think the lack of length of the teeth
on both upper back set will be too short to address with crowns.
Due to immune problems with my health for many years and allergies
to foods, my teeth have suffered as
a result. I look forward to receiving your advice.

What Would You Suggest Is The Best Route To Go For When Straightening My Teeth?

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013
Q.

Do you offer finance for veneers? If so, I have been recommended by you but worried I may have to go down the brace route rather than veneers.

My left lateral incisor falls behind my other teeth, I’m confident my teeth are healthy and my left central incisor may be slightly in front of my others, which I if you look from a right profile they look perfect, but left I look like I have just one tooth missing. My top teeth all overlap my bottom except that one tooth. What would you suggest from this before a consultation?

Thanks.

I Think I May Need Composite Bonding As I Grind My Teeth At Night. Is It The Right Option?

Thursday, October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie, I am 17 years of age. I am interested in White fillings with composite bonding. If I decide on having this done to my teeth how long does it last, does it wear off in time? Also does it blend in with the colour of your teeth? A few of my teeth have worn down due to grinding my teeth at night and want to know if this method is suitable for my teeth. Also, I want to know how much will it cost because I am hoping to do it to all of my teeth as I am very insure about them whenever I smile. Does this method still work if you have gaps in your teeth and does it cover these gaps? Thank you.

My Grinding Is Causing My Crown To Come Loose, What Kind Of Treatments Should I Consider?

Friday, October 11th, 2013
Q.

I have previously had two replacement crowns in both front teeth from a young age. I later replaced one of them with a screw in crown. I have a problem with grinding my teeth as well. My dentist has suggested I have short teeth and should use a guard but I grind my teeth in the daytime so not sure how this would help? The other and main problem is my screwed in crown is receding due to the grinding apparently. It feels loose and is painful. There is no infection but I would like this replaced and have asked about a bridge, my dentist has said no because it would take to long to heal and I would need my healthy teeth removed. I am confused, do I need to wait until it falls out or can I seek alternative treatments?
