How can I straighten my misaligned teeth and improve their whiteness?

Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Q.

Hello!

I have a problem with my teeth, they are not aligned properly, not straight, especially one front tooth.(it sticks out)…I had braces in the past but it didn’t turn out to be a successful treatment because apparently my tongue went in the way and pushed the teeth a bit forward….I still have this wire behind my front teeth to keep everything together…could you advice what kind of braces to have? I was also thinking about veneers, but my teeth are healthy though they are naturally yellowish ( i had them whitened as well, but still stayed pretty much the same….)
What would you advise me?

Looking forward to hear from you soon!

What is the process for crown and veneer replacement and how does a gum graft procedure work?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi Mark, I was the victim of violent crime some 10 years ago where I21 and 22 were knocked out, taking much of the surrounding gum tissue and bone with them and I 11 was cracked in half. I received treatment at the Leeds Dental Institute back in 2001 where they placed two implants, abutments and crowns in and cemented then veneered I11. It was decided by the surgeons at the time that, due to the large amount of discharging bone fragments, that to risk a gum graft was not sensible. Therefore I currently have a slight lack of gum surrounding I21 / 22. I am not happy with the positioning or visibility of the crowns today. Recent x-rays show that the implants are perfectly healthy with no further receeding of the surrounding tissue or bone. I am interested in understanding the process for replacing both crowns and the veneer to more aethetically pleasing versions, combined with a tooth whitening process. At the same time I would like to specifically understand how a gum graft can be factored into this proceedure and what the inherent risks are today and the likely costs of such treatments. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Q.
I just wondered what treatment you would recommend I have a tooth that is going grey and a lot of teeth at the top overlapping and 2 fang teeth at the top I would also like whitening. What price does this treatment tend to cost I realise you might not be able to price it but just an estimate Thank you,

Is it illegal for a non-dentist to carry out laser tooth whitening?

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
I have been researching tooth whitening online and am a little confused! If it is illegal for anyone not qualified as a dentist to carry out tooth whitening procedures, how is it that so many beauty salons offer laser tooth whitening? I have also found courses available to non dentists offering traing in laser tooth whitening? So is it illegal for a non dentist to carry out these procedures or not?,

I want my teeth to look white, what options are available to me?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am 36 yrs old and have never been able to smile properly since I was 5! because of very discoloured teeth.The reason behind this was due to a reaction to penicillin which the GP gave me when I was 5 yrs old. I have always dreamed of a nice smile. Spoke to my dentist a number of times when I was younger and basically he said there was nothing he could and white teeth would not match my complexion??? I just gave up hope. Since the popularity of cosmetic dentistry I have enquired into getting some form of treatment but the prices are way too high. I am a single parent of 3 with a little part time job – wot are the options available to me?,

I recently had my teeth whitened but I’m not happy. Now I’ve been told to use a home system. Can I get my money back?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Q.
I recently had my teeth whitened by Zoom. I was not offered a consultation to explain risks nor did my dentist make a record of shade/colour before of after. The results were very disappointing and noone has noticed any difference. When I complained to the dentist he offered a home system called “wy10” and charged extra. I feel I have been charged for 2 separate whitening systems. Do I have the right to ask for my money back as the Zoom was unsuccessful?,
