My Gums Are Shrinking Due To An Inherited Condition. Is There Any Treatment That Can Enhance The Look Of My Teeth?

Friday, June 13th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. Is there any treatment you know of that can enhance the look of your teeth if you have gum disease? My gums are shrinking due to an inherited condition. My teeth look okay but as time goes by it’s starting to look like there are holes between my teeth at the top near to the gum. I am 53 and have a huge fear of false dentures.
I have never smoked but I drink socially.
I clean my teeth twice a day
I visit a NHS dentist regularly for scaling and polishing. I would just like to my teeth to look healthy. Thanks.

How Do I Get Rid Of The Yellowish Colour On My Teeth? Would My NHS Dentist Whiten Them?

Monday, June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi there Dr Hughes. I need your advice and help. I am 18 years old and have stained yellow teeth. My front tooth was a baby tooth and has been extracted  a few months ago and now you can see the tooth in the gum which is taking ages to come down. I was wondering how do I get rid of the yellowish colour on my teeth, I am a NHS patient. Would my dentist be able to whiten them? If so, how much would all of this cost? I hate smiling or even talking it’s just embarrassing. Hope you can help. Thank you for your time.

What Would You Estimate For Four Teeth To Be Straightened And Whitened?

Friday, March 21st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark,

I have straight teeth, with what I think is A1 shading. I however, am not fully satisfied.

My dentist has always said my teeth are fine and straight, but I think my bottom four front teeth are slightly off. I’d also like my teeth to be whiter than they are. Would you happen to know an estimate for these four teeth to be straightened without braces and for all of my teeth to be whitened?

Thank you for your time,

Kind Regards.

I’ve Quit Smoking And I’m On A Healthy Diet. Is There Anything On The NHS That Can Fix My Discoloured Teeth?

Monday, January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark. I have fillings in the front of my teeth and my teeth are very discoloured from the dye and I’m not very confident. Is there anything on the NHS that can help me? My confidence is so bad that when it comes to job interviews I back out. Also talking to anyone I avoid it completely it’s really getting me down. I’ve quit smoking and on a healthy diet. I’ve looked online about teeth whitening but they don’t and won’t work on teeth that have holes, fillings or cavities. I really hope you can advise me on this. Thank you.

If I Whiten The Back Of Teeth, Will It Brighten Up My Smile With Lumineers On?

Wednesday, November 27th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I have Lumineers and have had them for about 7 years. I feel like they look a little dingy and are not as white as I would like. I have heard that you can whiten the back of your natural teeth and that will help brighten your smile up. Is there any truth to this? Also how long on average do Lumineers last before needing to replace them. And do you recommend veneers over Lumineers in most cases?

Thanks for your help!

I’d Like To Make Sure That I’m Paying The Correct Amount For My Dental Treatment. I Hope You Can Help?

Wednesday, November 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me? I’m getting my teeth done and I wanted to check that I was paying the right amount for what I’m getting, which is the 8 upper smile for £3695 with teeth whitening of the lower teeth
6 unit bridge for £3900. It’s getting done in Newcastle and I want to make sure before I start any treatment. I haven’t seen any other dentists yet and would like to know if I can get it cheaper than this?
Thank you for your help.

Is It Illegal To Perform Teeth Whitening Procedures If You Are Not A Dentist?

Tuesday, November 19th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Gambroudes, I have a question for you which I hope you can help me with. Is it illegal full stop to do teeth whitening if you are not trained in dental even if the product is safe and legal and being administered by the client and they have read and agree with and have given signed consent? I have been hearing a lot of things that a non-dentist can perform teeth whitening treatments as long as the peroxide level is 0.1% or below, active or released. Your advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

I Would Like Some Advice, I’m Worried Veneers Would Highlight The Discolouration Of My Bottom Teeth. What Would You Suggest?

Thursday, November 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr. Hughes,
I am just contacting you to ask for some advice on possible options for the treatment of fluorosis. I am 19 years old and I have had braces in the past couple of years in order to align my teeth, but now they are off I am more self-conscious about the brown marks/flecks; especially on the upper incisors. I am worried that if I get Lumineers or veneers that they will look fake and make the discolouration of my bottom teeth more noticeable.
I would be grateful if you could give me some advice on what you think would be the best route of treatment, and a rough price-range that I could expect if I decided to get Lumineers or Veneers. Many thanks.
