What Treatment Would You Recommend to Rejuvenate Thin Enamel?

Wednesday, February 11th, 2015
Q.

Hello. I’ve got quite thin enamel and consequently I have discoloured, relatively-short teeth with gaps. I would preferably like to have as many teeth rejuvenated as recommended (e.g. in a smile, let’s say between 12-14). I was just wondering what treatment you would recommend (bearing in mind my teeth are reasonably slim due to my lack of enamel, but I’m not sure how slim they have to be so that veneering is not an option…they’re not too thin though) and what the cost would be? Thanks!

What can I do about the thin enamel on my teeth?

Q.

My front teeth are very thin as the enamel is wearing down due to my age ( 60 yrs) and the fact I eat lots of fruit.Before I run into real problems I was wondering if crowns on them would be the answer .I live in the Brighton area and hope that I could go to somewhere locally .Would that be the best solution or should I wait and see ?
The other slight problem with these teeth is that cosmetically I don’t think they look very good.I have always had my 6 monthly checks so have a healthy mouth and wish to keep it this way !

What can I do to hide the gaps in my teeth?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
Q.

I have gum disease and have developed gaps in between my front teeth as well – could I still have cosmetic dentistry to fill the gaps? I am 62 and have several fillings and one recent crown but I am embarrassed by my gappy smile which has only become a problem in the last few years. I am worried that veneers or suchlike will irritate my gums. I am also a bit of a wimp! The enamel on my teeth is quite thin though my teeth are not as sensitive as they used to be since using Proenamel toothpaste but I don’t want to have anything painful.

My front teeth are becoming very thin, would Lumineers or cosmetic bonding be a good choice?

Q.

I am 31 years of age with a good set of teeth as I have no fillings.

However, the main problem I have is that my front two teeth are becoming very thin as my enamel has gradually reduced over time- so thin on one of my teeth that you can see through 2mm of it. I am becoming increasingly worried about chipping my front teeth whilst I eat, as they seem very weak.

I am interested in cosmetic surgery for the front two teeth. If anything I would like to strengthen and restore my natural teeth and therefore wonder whether Lumineers or cosmetic bonding would suit. Alternatively, you may know of something longer lasting and of more benefit to me.

I am situated in Lincolnshire and would like to know of a contact around the area rather than being directed to e.g. London.
Thank you
