I have really sensitive back teeth, would lumineers help with this?

Monday, June 28th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I have had my 2 front teeth crowned as they discoloured after root canal treatment. The crowns have been great however discoloured at the start of the gum, a darker blackish colour. I was told later that this is the base of the crown – can anything be done about this? I want to have straighter front teeth, but don’t want to crown or veneer them, as I was told that the crowns I have are the last chance to save my front teeth, as if I lose these there would be little I could do about replacing them. Naturally, I’m apprehensive about getting anything else done, so would lumineers be a better option as they require little tooth preparation? Also, I have really sensitive back teeth, would lumineers help with this too? Thanks.,

I have small gaps in my teeth because of gum recession, can lumineers fix this?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Q.
I am 27 and recently went to a dentist who told me that I needed to take better care of my gums. They were red and inflamed and the dentist said there had been some bone loss on the two very back teeth (half a mm). He said that the problem could be solved with a hygienist appointment and a lot of improvement in my brushing technique. I had a professional clean and have since invested in an electric toothbrush. My gums now look pink and much firmer and healthier and they have stopped bleeding. However I have noticed that there is a small amount of recession on two of my front upper teeth. The teeth are strong and healthy but now I have noticed this recession I would like to get it fixed as it has left small gaps in my teeth. Would lumineers be suitable, or some type of bonding?,
