I’ve Recently Had A New Bridge Fitted, But I Am Unhappy As My Teeth Seem Too Big. Is There Any Way This Can Be Sorted Out?

Thursday, October 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I have a new bridge on my front teeth, 3 units to replace the original bridge which broke, but I am not happy with it as my teeth are too long. Can the teeth be shortened or am I stuck with it? Also it doesn’t fit correctly as my bottom tooth hits the metal on the back of my front tooth. I am also unable to close my back teeth together. It was done through the NHS and I know the teeth underneath are highly compromised, so I think it’s unlikely that it can be taken off without damaging what’s left of my front teeth. I am unable to afford implants unfortunately, so is there a way this bridge can be sorted? Thank you.

Good Day Dr Hughes. Can I Have Veneers Fitted When My Two Front Teeth Are Crossed Over?

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014
Q.

Good day Dr Hughes. I hope you can help me. Can I have dental veneers fitted when my two front teeth are slightly crossed over? I have always been self conscious about my teeth and veneer treatment seems to be the best option for me so far. I’m just unsure whether this would work as a friend told me that veneers are more commonly used for gaps. Also am I able to pay on finance when getting veneers? Am I able to get veneers at the age of 18 years old?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

I Think My Porcelain Crowns On My Two Front Teeth Look Too Big. Can I Get Them Reshaped?

Monday, December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I’m looking for some advice. I recently got porcelain crowns on my front two teeth. I think they look a little big, can they be shaped now that they are in place? I have always hated my two front teeth as they looked too big. I was hoping that the crowns would have made them look smaller in comparison. If they try and shape them now, will it most likely dull them? Is there anything else that could go wrong if I got them reshaped? Thank you. Any advise you can provide me with on this matter would be very helpful.

My Dentures Make Me Gag, Should I Get Implants, Or Bridges? Also Is There Any Other Treatment I Can Consider?

Wednesday, October 16th, 2013
Q.

I currently wear a denture which constantly makes me gag and feel sick. I have two large teeth missing at the front of my mouth and a small one to the right hand side of my mouth. I was thinking of dental implants but know this would be extremely expensive and was wondering if a bridge including all teeth would be possible? I have a tooth in the middle and to the right and left of the spaces and was wondering also if these have to be porcelain as I already have a stained porcelain crown and don’t want another.
I would be grateful for your advice.
Many thanks.

I’m Considering Veneers As I Want Perfect, Pearly Whites. How Much Are They And Will They Damage My Teeth?

Tuesday, October 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, recently I have been strongly considering
porcelain veneers to improve the appearance of my teeth, but I have some questions for you. On average
how much does it cost for each veneer per tooth? Also, how much would you charge in your clinic for example, and will having them cause any damage my own teeth? This is something I would really like to have done, my teeth are not particularly in an awful condition but they are also far from perfect pearly straight whites, and I would like them to look nice and the best they can be. Thanks, I would really like to hear from you.

I currently have veneers, but would like to have porcelain lumineers fitted instead. Is this an option?

Monday, March 18th, 2013
Q.

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 🙂

My new crown feels too big for my mouth, can I have it filed back?

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011
Q.

I recently had porcelain to metal crown put on to cover an existing tooth that already had a large cavity. The tooth covered was an upper back tooth. The bite feels normal; however the outside out the crown feels like it protrudes from the rest of the teeth. My dentist said this is normal but I feel self conscious like I have a big tooth. Can the crown be filed or smoothed down so that it is flush with the rest of the teeth? Will filing down the outside of the tooth damage the crown?

A.
Yes and yes. The porcelain of … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
