I have really stained teeth, are veneers a good treatment option?

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
Q.
Hello

i have really, really pain stains on my teeth and i have tried at home whitening kits and they haven’t worked and i was just wondering about veneers. Are they strong because i would love white teeth but obviously i would like teeth that work tooth! Is it possible to veneer an entire set of teeth, or rather the ones you can see?

thanks for taking the time to read my email and answer my question

A.
Veneers are very strong and can be used in many situations. You can veneer as many teeth as you think necessary to give you a beautiful smile. Usually, you only veneer the teeth you see. Visit our website for examples of what can be accomplished. Dr. Lemongello

What exactly is a smile makeover?

Monday, June 27th, 2011
Q.
I am confused by what exactly a smile makeover is. Could you please give me an example of what kind of treatment would be able to be done in a smile makeover, and the average cost if possible?
A.
A smile makeover can consist of a number of treatments and it usually pertains to cosmetic treatment aimed at improving the appearance of one’s smile. This can include porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges or a combination of treatments. The purpose may also be to replace defective dental work or broken down teeth, but one of the benefits would be a more attractive smile. It would be difficult to give you an average cost because this would require a clinical evaluation.

What is the average cost of 5 dental veneers?

Friday, June 24th, 2011
Q.
Would you be able to give me an estimate of how much it would cost to get 5 dental veneers? Also, would the type of veneer (porcelain for example) have an affect on the cost?
A.
hi, many thanks for your email, the cost of 5 porcelain veneers can vary dependant on which practice you chose to have the treatment done by and which technician is making the work. the cost per veneer can range from £500 – £1000. the type of veneer material is usually porcelain but many laboratory have now branded there veneers very much like clothing, so there are products such as mac veneers, lumineers, davinci veneers. do not be fooled though most are of similar quality and like buying into a brand can work out much more expensive. hope this is helpful.

What alternatives are there to braces for straightening teeth?

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011
Q.
I have crooked teeth but have always been put off braces. To this day that has not changed and I still don’t want braces. However I really want to have nice looking teeth so what other treatment options are there for crooked teeth? I dont want to lose my current teeth though as they are in good condition except for their positioning.
A.
There are only two ways to straighten your teeth. The first and ideal way if you have healthy teeth is some form of Orthodontics. If you don’t want braces, than Invisalign may be an option. The other is with porcelain veneers. Consult with a dentist that provides Invisalign to see if you are a candidate for treatment.

What is the average cost of porcelain veneers?

Monday, June 20th, 2011
Q.
About two years ago now I get two dental veneers for my two front teeth. They were crooked and I did not want to go with braces. Anyhow, now one of them has broken off with a bit still visbile on my real tooth. I guess my only option is to get a replacement and that it is too far gone after initial treatment for it to be given free. Would you be able to give me an estimate for a dental veneer as I expect the prices have changed somewhat since I had them done?
A.
Unfortunately the fee for a veneer varies greatly depending on where you live and if a qualified doctor is performing the treatment. You would need to do research in your area to find out. The fee has not changed significantly for porcelain veneers over the last few years so the fee may be similar to what you paid the first time or a little higher. Dr. Lemongello

What would be the best way to rectify the appearance of chipped tooth?

Monday, June 6th, 2011
Q.
Hello doctor, hope you are well

I have recently chipped my front tooth, after a cycling accident and have had it checked out by my NHS dentist who is more than happy with the stability of the tooth, and doesn’t fear any infections etc
What would be the best way to rectify the appearance of this tooth? The tooth is chipped in the bottom left hand corner and has a slightly sharp edge. I have looked at veneers and cosmetic bonding which would you think is the best treatment for me and which is the most long lasting in your opinion?

thank you for your time

A.
Porcelain veneers and cosmetic bonding both have advantages and disadvantages. Cosmetic bonding is a good choice if a small amount of tooth needs to be replaced. The disadvantage is that it doesn’t last very long and may need to be replaced every 3-5 years. Porcelain veneers are stronger and will last longer but are more invasive and more expensive. I would consult with your dentiost to see which option is best for you . Dr. Lemongello

Q.
I have my teeth. They are really wonky and look like piano keys when I smile. This has had a terrible effect on my self-confidence especially during my time at schoool. Is there any option other than braces to get this fixed? Could you help me please and thank you.

Depending on your situation and desire for a new smile, there are options other than braces.  One very predictable way to change the shape, color and position of your teeth to improve your smile is with porcelain veneers.  Visit our website to view some of the possibilities!  Dr. Lemongello

What options are there to fix a cracked tooth?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Q.
One of my teeth has been cracked and the dentist has said I can have bonding to mend it up but I am unsure whether this will look all that good. Are there any other options for a crack tooth?
A.
There are many options for a cracked tooth depending on the severity of the crack. Bonding, if done with skill, is a very good option and is a simple, inexpensive repair. Other options are a porcelain veneer or crown. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.  Discuss this with your dentist.  Dr. Lemongello
