The Gaps In My Teeth Are Getting Me Down, What Can I Do?
Q.
Hi, I’ve recently suffered with gum disease and I’ve been to my dentist to get it sorted out, and she said my bone tissue was OK. After cleaning and scraping I had some antibiotic chips placed under my gums, they are much better now and the swelling has all gone down, but it has left small gaps in all the front of my teeth. I’m not liking how it looks, is there anything I can do to rectify this? as it’s just depressing me the way it looks. I’ve always been a pretty confident person, and now I don’t want to go out and talk to people as I’m very paranoid about how it looks, I did smoke for 25 years but I have now stopped for a year, I have heard about bonding and porcelain teeth but you will know better than me, could you please advise me? Thank you very much.

Hi, from what you have told me it does sound like you need to look into the possibility of cosmetic bonding, or possibly gingival veneers or conventional veneers. Have a consultation with you dentist and I’m sure they will provide you with the best solution.
