Dental problems we treat
Yellow and discoloured teeth
Yellow teeth usually have one of two causes: surface stains from tea, coffee and smoking, or deeper discolouration inside the tooth from medicines, injury or ageing. Surface stains often improve with a professional clean and whitening; deeper stains may need bonding or veneers. Dr. Khalid Saeed identifies the type at Celebrity Smile Center in Duhok before suggesting any treatment.
Gaps between teeth
A gap between teeth, called a diastema, can come from small teeth, a tight lip frenum, gum disease, an unfinished orthodontic result or a missing tooth. Small gaps are often closed with bonding or veneers; larger ones may need orthodontics or an implant. Dr. Khalid Saeed identifies the cause first at Celebrity Smile Center in Duhok.
Crooked front teeth
Crooked front teeth usually come from a lack of space in the jaw, genetics or childhood habits. Mild irregularity can often be improved cosmetically with bonding or veneers, but clear crowding or bite problems are better treated with orthodontics. Dr. Khalid Saeed assesses tooth position first in Duhok and tells you honestly when orthodontics is the better choice.
Chipped and broken teeth
A small chip can often be repaired with bonding; a larger break may need a veneer or crown. If the fracture reaches the nerve or root, root canal treatment, or extraction and an implant, may be needed. Pain or sensitivity means you should see a dentist promptly. Dr. Khalid Saeed assesses fractures with X-rays in Duhok.
Worn and short teeth
Teeth usually wear short from grinding, acid from fizzy drinks or reflux, or hard brushing. Treatment starts by stopping the cause, then restoring length with bonding, veneers or crowns depending on how much is lost; severe wear may need full mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Khalid Saeed assesses your bite and the cause first in Duhok.
Missing teeth
Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, bridges or removable dentures. An implant replaces root and crown without preparing neighbouring teeth; a bridge relies on the teeth either side. For a whole arch there are fixed options such as All-on-4 and All-on-6. In Duhok, Dr. Khalid Saeed plans implants with a CBCT scan after assessing bone and gums.
Gummy smile
A gummy smile means a lot of gum shows above the upper teeth when smiling. Causes include gum covering part of the teeth, an upper lip that lifts high, or extra growth of the upper jaw. If gum is the cause, laser contouring may be enough. Dr. Khalid Saeed uses the Waterlase laser in Duhok after identifying the cause.
Failed or old veneers
Veneers may need replacing if their edges stain, they chip or come off, they cause gum inflammation and bad breath, or they look bulky and unnatural. Replacement starts with checking the teeth underneath, then careful removal and a new design. In Duhok, Dr. Khalid Saeed uses the Waterlase laser for veneer removal within a written plan.
Small teeth
Small teeth, known as microdontia, are often inherited and commonly affect the upper lateral incisors, which can look peg-shaped. Teeth may also look small because of wear or gum covering them. Since the fix is usually adding rather than removing, bonding and minimal-prep or no-prep veneers are often well suited. Dr. Khalid Saeed identifies the cause first in Duhok.
Bad breath after veneers
Veneers themselves do not cause bad breath. It usually appears when veneer margins are poorly fitted or overhanging, so plaque and food collect there, or when flossing is neglected, leading to gum inflammation. Prevention starts with well-fitting veneers, then daily flossing and regular check-ups. Dr. Khalid Saeed explains this in one of his videos and treats it in Duhok.
