Can lumineers cover the gap between my two upper front teeth?

Friday, January 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi Kailesh

I have a diastema between my two upper front teeth. The gap is about half the width of one tooth. I’m reluctant to have braces and would like to know what cosmetic solutions could be used. Apart from the diastema my teeth are healthy so i dont really want lots of drilling for traditional veneers. Could Lumineers be the answer? Approx how much would this cost to get done in the UK. Thanks.

Would veneers help my receding gums?

Monday, September 27th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, My dentist and hygenist have both told me I have receeding gums, and I’ve noticed, particularly in the last year, how the gaps at the top of my upper teeth appear much darker as if I’ve got bits of food in them.
