I’m unhappy with the veneers I received today, what can I do about it?

Monday, July 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I went to receive 10 upper porcelain crowns/veneers today – and was very, very disappointed. My dentist has done a very thorough job of preparing my teeth & made umpteen impressions for the lab. And the lab seemed to be very competent. But somehow the final set, when put in my mouth looked like the before picture, whereas the temporary crowns looked like the after! I’ve asked to have changes made but how can this happen, i.e. does the actual fitting in your mouth affect the final result? Really worried I’ve paid £8000 to end up with teeth pretty much the same as I started with. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

Do you think that Lumineers would work for me?

Monday, June 18th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I’m very interested in some dental work. I am self conscious about my smile as my front two teeth are not straight. I have been looking into this for a while but never looked into the cost. How much on average would it be for my front four teeth to be worked on. I have recently been looking at Lumineers I would like to know your recommendation on these and the price of both vaneers and Lumineers. I would like a natural set to have. Smile I can be proud of

What can be done to rectify filing that was done on my teeth during braces treatment?

Monday, May 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I’ve had braces on for the past 18 months and they are due to come off in a couple of weeks. I am unhappy with the filing my orthodontist has done. It now looks as though the corners of some of my teeth have been chipped and they also look irregular! Is there any way I can get this corrected? Should I ask my orthodontist to lengthen the teeth he’s filed that i’m unhappy with so as they can be reshaped?

Should I have dental veneers to correct my gummy smile?

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
Q.

I’m 15 turning in December and I have a horrorifically gummy smile. My gums are much larger than my teeth they are tiny. I feel really embarrassed and self concious of my teeth all the time. I currently have braces on to straighten my teeth but these will not correct my gum issue. I have looked online and have spoken to my mum about porcelain veneers we both think that this is the best option, is there anything I can do now? Composite veneers? Or could I have porcelain veneers fitted now? thank you for your time doctor

I am 23 years old, would porcelain veneers be a viable option to correct my smile or should I have braces?

Monday, April 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes,

I’m 23 years old. I wore a brace when i was younger, and still wear my retainer but am not quite happy with my teeth.

Am I too young to get 10 upper porcelain veneers? I’ve heard very mixed opinions about this. On one hand, if my teeth are quite straight then not too much grinding should need to be done but, if veneers last about 15 years in total then they will need to be replaced 3 or 4 times in my lifetime. Is this possible?

What are your opinions on this?

Thanks

Will my gold crown affect my chance of achieving a ‘Hollywood Smile?’

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi Mark

If i am honest I dont actually NEED veneers, my teeth are very healthy and of a good standard, However I am in the performance industry and there is always room for perfection.
However, I do have a solid white gold cap on my left canine which I wish to have replaced to… At the time i was told that this had been cemented on and will be permanent as my tooth had been filed down in order to complete this.
Tell me, will this effect me from getting the hollywood smile I am looking for and if not, what processes do I need to go through to obtain the perfect look?

Is my local dentist’s cheap veneer treatment too good to be true?

Monday, January 23rd, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Patel

I recently saw a deal on the net for Parkdent Clinic in Kensington, 4 veneers for £939. I thought the deal sounded too good to be true but to be honest I know very little about cosmetic dentistry. I have an appointment with this clinic on Friday but have been giving my teeth a lot of thought these past few days and I realise that I need to do some research before I go jumping into getting my teeth done because it’s a a cheap deal. The quality of the veneers is more important to me although I don’t have a lot to spend.

My 2 front teeth have a gap and the teeth either side are under-developed. I would like to replace these with veneers. £939 sounds like a great deal but is this not too good to be true? Are porcelain veneers the best option for me?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, 

A.

Help me to design the perfect smile, are veneer materials ‘the’ final word?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

I am seraching for a good cosmetic clinic in London or abroad. I found what it seemed a very nice clinic (well, their website looks great, the prices are quite high 825 per veneer and they seem to help to design a perfect smile taking in consideration facial features and many aesthetic factors)

However after some extra research I ve found that their veneers are just normal porcelain veneers not lumieers.

Therefore I think there are quite expensive considering I can get in other clinic lumieers for a much cheaper price than their veeners.

I thought the more I spend the better the result.Since I m spending a lot of money and but myself in debt with my bank I want to make sure to get the best result

I would very appreciate if you you could suggest me a clinic where they can help me to design the perfect smile im looking for .

I probably need about 22 veneers and i wouldn t like to spend more than 800 per veneeer.

Thank you in advance for any suggestion you could give me.
