I am very unhappy with the look with my crown and ive receding gums can you advice

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
When i was young i fell in school banged my front teeth, one came out and put back in which was fine but the other front tooth next to it discoloured,it hasd a root canal done. After years of treatment at london Hospital tooth was fine, but when i went to my regular dentist when 18 he suggested to cap it, and did. I knew nothing of the treatment, it was done, but i am extremely unhappy with the look, especially with receding gums and the metal showing. I have been looking at other options which i was made unaware of veener rather than capping or bleeching the tooth, now am scared i will lose my tooth and am losing sleep over it, and it is really depressing me. I hate this capping and re-capping process and am unsure it he has put in a post before capping it, i doubt he has. i just want comfortable good looking front teeth that will last rather than look horrible with gums receding or other complications, am only 24 yet, it is quite disheartening.

Im 30 and my gums are receding and my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks please advice

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
I am a 30 year old mother of one. When I was in my early teens, I used to literally ‘peel’ my gums that rest on my teeth using my fingernails, and, I found that a new (thin) layer of gum used to grow back the next day, and I then used to continue this habit. I stopped for 2 years (mid-teens) when I had track braces fitted in, but then continued after they were taken off. I noticed when I was about 22 years of age that the thin layer of gums that I used to peel did not grow back, but I still perservered occasionally with this (yes, I admit!) bad habit! As a result, I have receding gums, and would like advice on what can be done to help restore my gums. Currently, because of my receding gums, I am finding that my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks and foods. I would be extremely grateful for your help/advice please. Thanks!

I have my caps on my second front tooth and my gums are reciding again what can be done

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi I first have a question. When i was 11 i fell my front tooth came out and was put back in but the second front tooth next to it had to have a root canal at 18 i had it capped, within 6 months gums receded cap were really badly done,second time the caps were ok, but now my gums are reciding again and it does not look pleasant, am still very young, i fear losing my tooth in the process of capping and re-capping,i dont think tooth has a post. I was looking into your surgery and services as now that i can have all procelain cap without the metal plate, but is that a strong solution for a front tooth with root canal, are they as strong as porcelain with metal caps? i don’t want embarassing issues with a cap coming off? Do you provide this service, as i want my confidence back and want to come to someone who is a qualified dentist and a good cosmetic dentist please get back to me, i want to invest in my teeth wisely now that i can. Thank you
