My Dentist Has Told Me That My Lower Teeth Are Down To The Dentine. I Am Unaware Of What To Do About This Problem. Any Advice?

Thursday, October 31st, 2013
Q.

I had my 2 front teeth crowned about 26 years ago and they are still okay. However at a recent check up my dentist told me that I was down to the dentine on my lower teeth and this was caused by the crowns. I am to be fitted with a night guard – do you think this is simply a stop gap – as my dentist did mention that the expensive option of having them all capped would probably be the best solution. I have some teeth missing already but am unsure of what could be done on the NHS and do you think this cost would be per tooth? I will have to save like mad but I’m not sure what I am looking at for the best results really. Any help would be gratefully received.

I Had A Brace Fitted A Few Years But Now The Gap Is Coming Back Between My Front Teeth. Please Offer Some Advice?

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. The problem I would like advising on is that I had a brace fitted when I was younger about twelve years ago to fix big gaps in my teeth as I have three missing wisdom teeth which have never grown through. After braces I had a permanent brace fitted behind my teeth to keep teeth together but now the gap is coming back between my two front teeth. It looks horrible and you can see the wire between my two front teeth. It has made me very self conscious. Please could you advise me on what can be done? Do you know why this has happened? Thank you, I hope you can help me.

The Veneers I Had When I Was Younger Are Chipped, How Much Does It Cost To Renew Them?

Friday, October 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I would like to discuss my problem. I had 18 veneers done when I was 16, I am now 46 years old and although I have looked after my teeth they are receding, chipped a little, and my bite is certainly not the same. Please could you tell me how much this would cost to renew? And also, how long does the process take? Is their finance available as I don’t have enough cash up front as I had my teeth done on NHS as my teeth were black and unsightly? Is your clinic near the North West? Thank you in advance.

I Had An Infected Tooth After A Filling Came Loose And Now It’s Black. What Are My Long Term Options?

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, a year ago I had root canal surgery performed on my front tooth. I have had ongoing problems with this tooth since I chipped it when I was 12 years of age. I have had it re-filled 3 times. Before I had the root canal, I was told I had an infection as the filling came lose. It is now black. I’m a 20 year old girl and this is really affecting my confidence. Preferably I wouldn’t like to get a crown but I am looking for a long term solution. What are my options in fixing this tooth?

In My Opinion, My Braces Were Taken Off Before They Were Ready, What Should I Now Do To Achieve My Perfect Smile?

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013
Q.

I’ve had braces before and in my opinion were taken off before the teeth were fully ‘perfect’ I have quite yellow teeth and two central veneers which are starting to become uncomfortable as I think I have an over bite a lot of the teeth are fillings but feel gappy, and my gums are tender. Ideally I’m looking for the perfect smile but I would also like to improve the overall heath and sensitivity of my gums and smile. The question I would like to ask is: What work would need to be done and how much would it cost?

Hi, I Think I Have Dental Fluorosis. What Treatment Options Would You Suggest?

Thursday, October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I have started to notice what I think is dental fluorosis on my front two teeth. I have two dark lines appearing on my two front teeth and a little line on the tooth next to front tooth. I have looked into it online and wondered if you think teeth whitening is the best option first? I know another option is veneers but I am only 20 and think whitening might be a better option. I have got a dentist appointment but it is not for 2 weeks so just wanted some advice and a separate opinion when I ask my regular dentist.
Regards.

My Son Grinds His Teeth, And His Dentist Has Recommended Veneers. Is This The Only Suitable Treatment?

Tuesday, October 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi, my son of 20 years grinds his teeth a lot. He visited the dentist last week and she has said he needs veneers on his four front teeth as their particularly small. I am quite worried as he seems so young. Is there something else they can do? It seems she did not really consult him with any other option. I am also concerned because it seems from reading about them that they do not last too long. Can his teeth not be crowned? Please help.

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’m 27 years old and have big teeth, my top two front teeth are also very forward! Making me look goofy if you like.

I Grind My Teeth And Have Been Told To Wear A Mouth Guard Throughout The Day, Can Anything Else Be Done?

Thursday, September 19th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

Could you please tell me the options available for me? I chronically grind my teeth and have worn them down and they are starting to break up, mainly the upper left ones but also the other and it is causing me some pain. I have been given a mouth guard to wear during the night and have been told I should start wearing it through the day as well but that is an option I would like to avoid as it is quite unsightly and hinders my speech.

Thank you.

I Want A Solution To Fix My Overcrowded Vampire Teeth, But I Don’t Want To Be Wearing Braces For My Wedding Day, What Can I Do?

Monday, September 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi, My teeth are overcrowded at the top and bottom. I also have two vampire style teeth on top, one at each side and they are also overlapping the ones beside them.  I would rate my smile a one out of ten. I am 35 years old hope to get married next year I should have got them done years ago. I really don’t want to get braces for two years and want to know if it is my only option? I would really like to get veneers but don’t know if this would work on my teeth.  I was on holiday last year and a little boy said to his mam beside me look at her teeth mam, she is like a vampire, I was so embarrassed, I really hope you can advise me.
