Do I have to put up with the gap for the rest of my life or can something be done about it?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Butt I have a gap in my front teeth which has happened over the last three years due to a problem with my gums. I have asked my dentist if he could fill the gap and on the last visit he said he could fill it with bonding. He wouldn’t advise veneers or porcelain as they would be too heavy and may weaken the tooth as the density of the bone had diminished due to the gum disease. I visited him today and he now advises that I dont have the bonding done as he feels the gum is still inflamed. I am really upset as this gap looks ugly. Please can you advise if there is a way round this or do I have to put up with this gap for the rest of my life? I am 58 years of age. Kind regards.

Any recommendations to fix my underbite?

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Q.
hi there I again am very self concious about my underbite. I had 2 surgeries years ago and my jaw relapsed both times. I was thinking of venners for my upper jaw longer then maybe the venners might hit a lower tooth. I did have one cosmetic look very quickly at my mouth and said I have 3 teeth that are crowded in the lower front.

Crowns or veneers?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Hello I have 4 root canals done in the front teeth and one of them turned so dark over 15 years that not the dentist put a pin inside the canal and completely removed the tooth. I think he used the white filling to create a fake tooth for the time being. I am facing a dilemma now. From experience I know the other 3 teeth will turn dark too. I need to look at my options. Crowns or veneers. I would hate to invest the money into veneers if the dark colour will be visible from underneath? Do you think crowns will be better for me? especially because the teeth are in the front I would really love to finally have a smile I always dreamed of and not a horror story and empty wallet with dark teeth. Please help me I am not concerned about my teeth being grinded down. I just want white beautiful teeth that will last for many many years,

It depends on how strong the t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
