Q.

Hi there,
My gums seem to be receeding and my teeth are crooked and discoloured. I have a few gaps from my youth. I do not smoke.

I am basically looking for a new set of teeth without temporary dentures – I want a peramant fix. I am 37 years old. What do you advise?

Would a bridge be suitable for a tooth that is fractured and another that is deeply filled?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I am a 53 year old female. Have always taken great care of my teeth. Over recent years have been treated by my dentist and hygienist for receding gums. Visited my dentist yesterday with what I though was just a crack in one of my old fillings, only to be told that the tooth was actually fractured vertically. It is in my upper jaw and third from the back. I have a wide smile and it will definitely show if I have it removed. My dentist advised that it may last for a year, (he drilled out the old filling and repacked it)
He was less than helpful about my options and I left the surgery confused and shocked. My question is would I be better off having an implant or a bridge to replace the gap. One of the teeth that would be needed to support the bridge is deeply filled. Also a guide to how much this would cost would be useful.
Thank you very much for your time.

I have a number of loose teeth which apparently is due to receding gums. The teeth are unsightly and i want to have them crowned – but my dentist is advising against becuause of the looseness. Dont crowns help loose teeth?,

My receding gums are better now but there is a black triangle left. What can be done about this?

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
Q.
I have had receding gums in the past. They are healthy now but there is a black triangle where the gum has gone above the tooth. Could I get a veneer to cover the area. Also, do veneers stain and if I had my teeth whitened would the veneers stay the same colour?,

My gums have receded. Can you suggest a permanent solution?

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr. My gum of my upper canines teeth has resided upwards leaving an exposed area of tooth sensitive to hot and cold. I tried filling which covered the sides but came off pretty soon. One of the Dr suggested a remineralization tooth paste but couldn’t find one. Please suggest a permanent solution,
