Should I go for 4 implants or invisible braces Plz suggest

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi, 6 to 7 years ago i had veneers privately done on my front 4 top teeth. i was pleased for the 1st year or 2 but over time they now look awful. i had braces for 4 years (not train tracks) when i was in my early teens as i had a large gap in my teeth and they pointed abit forward and made me look goofy, after time with the braces the 2 front teeth eventually crossed over so went from one extreme to another, i then had braces to stop the crossing and push them back, they soon became straight. after not having the braces on for about 2years i decided i wanted dental veneers as one of the front ones was badly discouloured and i thought they were to long! so i went ahead and had venneers as i said above i was happy at first but now the 2 front teeth have crossed again but even worst they point forward making my lip pertrude slightly!! i never imagined this would happen with vaneers but it has done! also i feel they have slightly come away from my gums with the movement and on close inspection you8 can see a gap and the very top of the veneers have a ruff edge and are black! i smoke around 8 day i realise this hasnt help, but they are now crooked, discoloured and come away from my gums, i really dont know what to do!! do you think 4 implants would be a good idea, i know it would vbe pricey and it very cliche of me to say but all i ever wanted was a perfect hollywood smile, i heard about the invisable braces but im not sure this would be right as i would still have to keep the veneers! please help!!! thanks so much in advance.

Is its common to have a veneer on a false tooth and how durable?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel. I have just had a replacement bridge and whilst the two crowned teeth supporting the false tooth are well fitted the centre false tooth has a gap at the gum line and appears to be leaning out a little. The dentist has filed it to reduce the bulky appearance but this has not helped and it is not as good as the original bridge I had done 8 years ago by the same dentist. The dentist is trying hard to please me and has arranged to put a veneer on the FALSE tooth. Is having a veneer on a false tooth common and how durable will it be. I would be very pleased to receive a reply. Thank you very much.

Are lumineers as good as porcelain veneers?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I’m e-mailing from N. Ireland. After reading extensively regarding Veneers / Lumineers ( I have 2 crowns at the side of my front teeth). Firstly, before I start searching for a cosmetic dentist, what qualifications do I need to look out for ? Also, are Lumineers as good as a porcelain veneer and do they last as long. Also, If I need root treatment, fillings etc etc after having my lumineers/veneers fitted – can I go to my regular dentist to have this done – OR do I need to see a cosmetic dentist all the time thereafter ? Thank you so much

Could I get Inman Aligners after having veneer treatment.Plz suggest

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister, My top row of teeth are neat but the two front teeth stick out and they are longer than I would like. I was wondering: – is it possible to get teeth trimmed and to what extent (e.g. is it only the enamel part that can be trimmed?). Would it be necessary to have veneers fitted on the trimmed teeth – Could I get Inman Aligners even after having veneer treatment already? Many thanks and best regards

I have receeding gums, can anything be done to correct this?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Q.
I now have the “Old-fashioned ectremely expensive complete top veneers – the type that they had to grind down all of my teeth. This was recommended because I had gum disease which was supposedly cured after surgery. Now, I have receeding gums – just one tooth at the top that shows my own tooth and the space between! It looks awful! Can anything be done to correct this?
