What can I do about my gap teeth?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

hiya there, i have a very large gap between my 2 front teeth and as far as i know i have always had it there. i dont really understand why its there, i always assumed it would close as i grew, what options do i have? i really hate it though and just wondered if it can be fixed and if so how much it would cost and what i need to have done ie: would it be more than one treatment or a course etc etc. would i need cosmetic dentistry or could i get it done at my normal dentist? if the treatment is costly can it be paid off in instalments or do you need to pay all upfront? thank you very much

I think I may need veneers in the future, how natural looking are they?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I’m 16 years of age and i neglected my teeth for just over 2 years and i had an x-ray and my dentist said 10 teeth could go wrong in the future so i took control and brushed my teeth 3 times a day and found out what my teeth really looked like, lines down the middle (probably because of the excesive amount of coke and pepsi i consumed) now i brush 3 times with durapat 5000 and rinse once a day with fluorigard, i’m doing my best but i think im going to need veneers/crowns in the future, i would just like some advice on am i doing all i can do in the time being, and are crownss/veneers natural enough so people couldn’t fool them for real teeth?

many thanks

Is bleaching and veneers the best option for my discoloured tooth?

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011
Q.

I banged and cracked my front tooth when I was about 9. I have had a root filling in it since then. Over the years and especially more recently it has become quite dark and discoloured. I have been told that this is internal. My dentist suggested I had a composite veneer and gave me an idea of what it would look like. I was quite happy with the idea. This dentist then left and my new dentist said that a veneer might not be enough and that I should have internal bleaching and then a veneer. I have read that sometimes bleaching doesn’t work and also composite veneers only last a year or two. I do not have a lot of money but do want to improve the look of this tooth, but I would like advice as to what would be the best value for money long term.

I live in Spain, but am I able to receive cosmetic treatments in the UK?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi mark!

I’m from Spain and got 6 veneers a year ago. I’m not very satisfied: they fall off very often and the appearance is not as fantastic as I though it would be.

I also have a gummy smile so my gums were lifted and now they look less rounded that what I would like.

Moreover, I would like to treat my hipermobile upper lip (in Spain the treatment is orthognathic surgery which is too agressive).

I would like to repeat the treatment again and after a long search, I would like to become your patient.

My question is if I need to proceed as a regular UK patient (book an appointment, then another, then another…) or if we could arrange a complete program of my treatment from here (duration and travel times, costs, etc). I can provide before/after pics and x-rays.

Thanks.

Would you recommed one porcelain veneer to cover my discoloured front tooth?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi I am reasonably happy with my smile other than my front tooth which is a little darker in colour due to banging it when I was younger. I was looking at Lumineers but I understand you do not think the end result it very good. I was wondering therefore would it be possible to have one porceline veneer to the front or would it be best to have two front poreceline. Thank you.

Is it too late for alterations to be made to my porcelain veneer?

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Mark Hughes,

I have recently put a porcelain crown on my front upper tooth. Once anaesthesia stopped acting I noticed discomfort as feel it all the time and cannot chew properly as it feels like there is not enough room for my lower tooth. My friends say I will get used to it but I tend to think it is too big for me. Can the alterations be made or it is too late now?
Please help.
Thank you.

I’m wearing braces but am not happy with teeth size, should I get veneers?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

Hello there, I am wondering what you think I should do.. I am 16 years old and have braces. My teeth are pretty straight and am getting them off soon. Its just I am really unhappy with the size of my teeth alot of people have said that my dentist will add at the bottom to make them look longer but I feel its the top of the teeth it needs to be added to. My gums are lower down than any normal person and before I had braces my mouth wouldn’t close at ease it would be me making my lips close because I have a high lip. As my lips were not closed my top lip just sat on my gum causing it to make an indent in my gum, but when laughing people can see it and I think its horrible! Also when I was 5 or 6 my teeth got hit with a car door which cause my to front teeth to chip quite badly the right one wasn’t so bad and is fixed with a cap? but the left one was split right across the half way mark and couldn’t be fixed with a cap so my dentist gave me a crown. I have done some research online and came across gum shrinking and porcelain veneers which I think would be a lot nicer than the teeth I have now, could you give me advice on what you think I should do? Thanks, Michelle
