My Metal-Free Smile Makeover Is a Disaster

I wanted a smile makeover that was metal-free. My dentist suggested zirconia crowns, which I agreed to. Now I wish I hadn’t. First, they look flat white, which makes them look fake. Second, the way he placed them seems too big and too far forward. I talked to my dentist about it and he said […]

My New Crowns are Turning Yellow

I had six porcelain crowns placed on my upper teeth for a smile makeover. I asked for BL1 because I have very white teeth naturally. I’ve never even needed to whiten. I take good care of them and use Supersmile whitening to keep surface stains off. When I got my dental crowns, they were darker […]

Peroxide and Porcelain Veneers

I had eight porcelain veneers done in Central America. They look good but my gums have been red and inflamed since. I called their office and they told me that some swelling is normal and not to worry about it. Eventually it will go away. A friend suggested I do a peroxide rinse to help […]

Gums Inflamed After Porcelain Veneers

I had porcelain veneers placed. The front four are red and inflamed. I went to see the dentist. His hygienist examined me and said she’s never seen that before. Then, she accused me of not taking care of my teeth. I’d just spent a fortune on those veneers. Why would I not take care of […]

Should I Move Forward with These CEREC Veneers?

I went to my dentist about getting porcelain veneers for a smile makeover. He’s suggesting that we do CEREC veneers. I don’t know if that is because he has a new toy or because it is a good option. One thing that does really concern me is the thickness. He said they would be about […]

Dental Bonding Keeps Falling Off

I need some help and advice. I have fluorosis stains and went to my dentist to get them fixed. He did dental bonding and said it would last a few years. I wasn’t thrilled with the results. It felt like the color was uneven and you could still see the stains. Then, a few days […]

Finding the Best Cosmetic Dentist

I’m hoping to start work on a cosmetic smile makeover soon. I’ve been doing a lot of research. I want to do my front six teeth. I have a medium (closer to fair) type of skin tone with auburn hair. Can you tell me what type of color would look best on me. I want […]

My Two Front Crowns Are A Disaster

I don’t know what to do and need some advice. My two front teeth needed dental crowns. My dentist tried his best, but the shape of the teeth where way off. He admitted that himself and said I needed to see a specialist in dental crowns so he sent me to a prosthodontist. When I […]
