Could I Have My Veneers Removed and Replaced with Whiter Ones?

Friday, April 29th, 2016
Q.

Dear Sir/Madam.  I had 12 composite veneers fitted – 6 on the top 6 on the bottom. I have chipped one at the front and am very unhappy with them. The dentist matched them to my natural colour which is very yellow! I am not fussed with the bottom row as you can hardly see them but I would like the top row removed and replaced to achieve a very white Hollywood smile like the celebrities.

Do you think this could be done?

Many thanks.

How Much Should I Have Paid for Veneers?

Tuesday, April 14th, 2015
Q.

Hi, would you please advise? I have been wearing 11 temporary veneers for over 2 months while my porcelain ones are being made. I’ve so far had 6 appointments since requesting them in January. I was asked to pay in full just under £10,000 2 months ago and after I had paid, my final fitting was put back another month. I chose this dental practice due to past awards, now I’m beginning to regret it! Is this the normal practice? So far I’m really not happy!

As a Younger Patient, Can I Have Composite Veneers?

Thursday, April 9th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I am a 16 year old girl and very conscious of my smile. My dentist says I have a peg lateral and I got a filling to make it look better but now it’s stained. Can I have composite veneers? I’m told I’m too young for porcelain veneers. Do I need drilling?Can it be done without drilling, and is there any harm in them? Can I not choose to have porcelain veneers or replace them when I get older? Please help with advice, I would be grateful.

Which Treatment Will Close the Gaps in my Teeth?

Tuesday, March 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello. I’m a 17 year old girl and I have about 5 or 6 gaps on my top teeth as well as on the bottom set. I wanted to know the best treatment to solve them. Some of my teeth on the top set are weirdly shaped so I don’t think braces will solve it. In terms of size I can fit my tongue between all the gaps on the top set. Please help me, I want to become a dental therapist/hygienist and I want to have the best teeth possible. Thank you.

I Have A Single Gap On Both Sets Of Teeth And I Would Like To Know How To Get Them Removed?

Thursday, July 31st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I’m wondering if you can help me. I have a single gap in my teeth between the front two teeth both upper and lower jaw. I have always been conscious about it so am wondering at what the cost is so that I can have these gaps removed? The gap on the top is roughly around 2-3 mm in length and the gap on the bottom is about 1-2 mm. Would I need braces to fix this problem? I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards.

My Periodontal Disease Is Now Under Control. Which Treatment Will Make The Large Black Triangles Less Apparent?

Tuesday, July 1st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark, I have black triangles across my front upper teeth (incisors/canines) due to periodontal bone loss, some of them are large and noticeable when I smile. My periodontal disease is now being treated and is currently stable. Is cosmetic bonding a possible solution for making these black triangles less apparent? Are there any other methods for filling black triangles? Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your time.

Can Porcelain Veneers Or Bondings Turn My Stained Teeth Into A Beautiful Smile?

Monday, February 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hi. I was wondering what approach to take to having a beautiful smile. I have stained teeth and have composite resin fillings on most of my teeth. I had braces and didn’t take good enough care. I was told by one dentist I wouldn’t be a good candidate for porcelain veneers so should I go with bondings? I went to a cosmetic dentist and purchased a teeth whitening product for almost $200. But then I have spots that don’t change color because they are composite resin fillings and they are on the fronts of my teeth.What treatment would you recommend?

My 14 Year Old Daughter’s Teeth Are Ruined From Medication, Would She Be Eligible For Veneers On The NHS?

Monday, November 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I’d like advice on what to do with my daughter has been on medication since she was born the medicine has made her teeth rot and she is now 14 years old and hasn’t got any confidence, she doesn’t go out and doesn’t want to go to school. Would it be possible to get her veneers on the NHS? The medication she is on is sodium picosulphate and movicol and in the past she has been on lactulose and various other medicines. It is very embarrassing for her she got no friends because she won’t mix with anyone. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you.

I Currently Have Braces To Straighten My Teeth, But I Now Have Black Triangles On My Front Teeth. Can You Suggest Any Cosmetic Solutions Once My Braces Come Off?

Wednesday, November 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi there. I currently have braces to straighten my teeth but am expecting to have them removed in about 5 months. My teeth are now really straight but I now have “black triangles” on my upper 4 front teeth. My orthodontist intends to carry out some inter-proximal reduction but has told me this will not eliminate the problem entirely. Can you suggest any cosmetic solutions once my braces come off, bearing in mind I will be required to wear retainers full time initially?

A Dentist Has Previously Damaged A Tooth And Now It’s Discoloured. Would A Veneer Work?

Monday, November 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello, my right front tooth is visibly darker then left one. It has been badly damaged by dentist 7 years ago (not in the UK) and changed colour. It has been re-done few times, but I never did get the perfect result. Both the shape and colour is different and it is thicker than my left tooth.
Is it possible to make it the same as left front tooth with a porcelain veneer?
I can attach picture of it if needed? Thank you.
