The crowns I keep getting replaced make all my teeth look different sizes, any advice?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Sorry, didn’t finish my questionand not sure if you received it so here goes again. I have a number of crowns which have been replaced over the years and each time the impression is taken from the ones before so they get bigger and longer each time. Anything that did not fit before, also does not fit again and any problems with receding gums are difficult to control. Do cosmetic surgeons have technology these days that make teeth the same size as the original. Having just paid an arm and a let to look like the winner of the Derby, is there a training school in the Midlands looking for volunteers.

Should I have veeners replaced due to receding gums?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had veneers put on my top 8 teeth about 8 years ago. Over time my gums have receded a bit and there is a visible line between my gum and where the veneer hits my tooth, one of them being a little bit dark. Only on my two front teeth though. I really don’t want to have them replaced at this time if I don’t have to. Is it possible to use white composite to fill the gaps? Will it hurt my dental health if I don’t have them replaced now? I’ve also read that they tend to “pop off” after you’ve had them replaced. Need unbiased advice on whether I should have them replaced or not. Thanks!!,
