I had my tooth root filled 2 years ago and I am not happy with how it looks now, would a veneer be of any help?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello. I had an accident a couple of years ago that resulted in one of my front teeth having to be root filled. It is now 2 years on and i am still not happy with the colour and how it looks as it has now changed position too! Is it safe for me to have a veneer do you think? I know that i will need to have both of my front treated so that they match but I am concerned that because it has been root filled that it won’t be suitable for a veneer. this causes me real concern but i also am desperate for something to be done as it doesn’t look very nice  at all. I have tried all types of bleaching and had composite placed on but i am still not happy with the colour of the tooth.

I have a two cracked teeth after being hit in the face over a year ago, but I am scared to the dentist. Can you help me?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
I have a really big fear of the dentist, this fear has meant I haven’t been since I was abour 10, I am now 22 and my teeth are really bad, They are crooked at the front and are uneven throughout my mouth. I got hit in the mouth a year and a half ago on the left side of my jaw, I was in severe pain and could not open my mouth and felt that my bottom left back tooth had been knocked out of place, this tooth is now rotting away and cracked badly, the pain is so bad I am taking 24 nurofen a day just to ease the pain abit. The top tooth where I got hit has also started to crack, I can not afford a dentist though and I recieve no benefits. I am hoping to get married next year and I want the confidence to be able to smile in my pictures instead of “Pouting” all the time, please help me, what can I do?,

Dentist has said he may have to remove badly decayed teeth. Is there no other option?

Friday, October 1st, 2010
Q.
I’m 18 years old. The last 2 years i’ve had alot of issues with my depression and anxiety, so my teeth and gums have been the least of my worries. I have been drinking fizzy drinks and eating junk pretty much everyday without hardly brushing them. I’m getting alot better now and decided to go dentist for the first time in 2 years. Obviously i wasn’t expecting my teeth to be great. My dentist said there not too bad but i do have some problems, like slightly discoloured and a few holes in the back ones. I had 2 fillings today and he was shocked to find out the holes were bigger than he thought they were, he said he could try his best but if worst comes to worst i would have to get them taken out. I was wondering is removing them my only option? I don’t want to hit 19 and have false teeth, i see celebs have perfect white teeth and there not false. If you could be of any help it will be very much appreciated thank you,
