Hello. I have Lumineers and have had them for about 7 years. I feel like they look a little dingy and are not as white as I would like. I have heard that you can whiten the back of your natural teeth and that will help brighten your smile up. Is there any truth to this? Also how long on average do Lumineers last before needing to replace them. And do you recommend veneers over Lumineers in most cases?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Dr. Hughes,
I am just contacting you to ask for some advice on possible options for the treatment of fluorosis. I am 19 years old and I have had braces in the past couple of years in order to align my teeth, but now they are off I am more self-conscious about the brown marks/flecks; especially on the upper incisors. I am worried that if I get Lumineers or veneers that they will look fake and make the discolouration of my bottom teeth more noticeable.
I would be grateful if you could give me some advice on what you think would be the best route of treatment, and a rough price-range that I could expect if I decided to get Lumineers or Veneers. Many thanks.
Hello, most of my teeth are straight (Apart from one tooth which the bottom of the tooth very, very slightly overlaps the tooth next to it. Nobody notices it but I do and know it’s there) and not very discoloured, however I want ‘The perfect smile’ so I have been considering having Lumineers for a while now but was just wondering two things.
1. How much roughly am I looking at spending for a full set (I know it will vary from person to person) but just a rough figure.
2. Can you choose how white you want them? As I would want them white, white.
I hope you can help me with these questions.
Hope to hear from you soon, Kindest regards.
Hello, I’m interested in having laser gum contouring for just my front incisors. I am also looking to have some veneers perhaps maybe four(front and lateral incisors) where there are composites at present (which need to be removed).I have just completed my Invisalign treatment and really just want to renew my smile by making my teeth more even in length. I have heard of Emax veneers and wondered why they’ve become more popular. I have also read that these are better than perhaps Lumineers or Davinci veneers. I don’t really understand the difference, could you me understand the difference?
Hello, I’d like to present you with a problem I’ve been having, I had my front 10 of my teeth done with dental lumineers about 5 years ago. My fourth tooth has broke on two separate occasions, so my dentist decided on a 3/4 crown. I just got the permanent one today and it looks a lot lighter – I can definitely tell, and I don’t like it, it seems like it’s doesn’t look right to me, BUT it is the furthest back pre-molar, so it’s not super obvious. My dentist who is also my Brother-in-law says that it is the exact same shade as my other teeth and will darken over time? Is this correct? Is there something I can do to speed up the process and get it to go the same shade as my other teeth? I hope you can help.
Hi Dr Moore! I just got aceppted to NYU and I want to have a great smile for college. My two top front teeth aren’t very straight, however the rest of my teeth are. (But all if my teeth have white spots) … I know braces would take a long time to straighten my front teeth. Are veeners a good route to go with on my two front teeth and then luminers to fix the discoloration on the rest? I really want to have a great smile before I go to college. I have always taken care of my teeth (brushing, flossing, etc). However, due to my younger brother being diagnosed with cancer my single mother never had the extra money to afford braces and such. So I want to try and get them fixed now, well before I go to college anyway. I’m hoping you can provide me with some advice? Thanks!
I would like some information if possible please.
I’ve had extraction on my right second from back tooth. Its left quite a big gap that I know is there and that i want to close up as soon as i can I don’t like the fact that I have a gap and want to get it filled asap.
Any advice please reply. I have been told that i can have a implant but i wanted to see what the other options are.
I’ve had these things called Lumineers or Veneers?
I would like to know how intensive these options are and the best option for myself.
Thanks.
Hello there Dr Solanki. I have a slight problem that I hope you can help me with. I’m looking for some advice as to whether or not it is possible to have lumineers on filled teeth? Basically, there wasn’t a massive hole so the filling isn’t too large and I’ve been speaking to a friend who has had extensive dental work done in the past, however they seem unsure so wanted an expert opinion. Also, after doing a little independent reading around the topic it seems that staining could be an issue? I’m a little confused so would appreciate it if you could clarify. Thank you.
Hi, is it possible to have lumineers fitted, as i already have porcelain ones which I’ve had almost 10 years but the front one snapped a couple of months ago and its been replaced by an ugly yellow NHS veneer! And also I would like to know what material the NHS veneers are now made of as this seems to be thicker and rough compared with my old smooth shiny ones. Thanks 🙂
Hi i am thinking of possibly getting veneers. It seems that porcelain are better, or Lumineers from what I have read. I was thinking of perhaps getting my top six teeth done and then whitening the rest of my teeth. My teeth are not in terrible shape but stained partly from smoking a little and i have been grinding a little also. Is this possible to do or is it more usual to do more including the bottom row. Any advice would be most welcome.
Kindest regards.
