Dental Bonding Stained After Two Weeks

I had dental bonding done on my front four teeth. I’ve only had them a couple of weeks and they’ve started staining. I do drink coffee. I don’t know if that is why they’re stained. My dentist did not tell me not to drink coffee. Is that something I will have to give up? Also, […]

Porcelain Veneers are Too Shiny

I recently had six porcelain veneers placed. Though I had teeth whitening done to make the adjacent teeth the same color of the veneered teeth, the ones with the porcelain veneers are so shiny that it is obvious they are fake. I have hated them from the beginning, but my dentist insisted that I just […]

Son’s Dental Bonding Looks Horrible

My son had an accident on his bike that caused him to break pretty good sized chips to his front teeth. His pediatric dentist suggested dental bonding. We went ahead with it. The results were a disaster. The bonding is whiter than the rest of his teeth, plus the teeth are a bit bumpy and […]

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 […]

Floss Getting Caught In My Porcelain Veneers

I had porcelain veneers placed a few weeks ago. I’ve noticed that my floss keeps getting caught on the veneers. I called my dentist and he said that I don’t need to worry about that and it’s completely normal because they go over my teeth. I know I should listen to my dentist but something […]

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 […]

I’ve Had Braces Three times and Still Hate My Smile

I had braces, in my teens, then twice again in adulthood. Despite that my teeth keep shifting and crowding again. The over crowding have made my two front look too big compared to the rest. I was hoping to get some porcelain veneers to put on the teeth next to my two front ones. This […]

What is the Best Type of Veneers?

I have had porcelain veneers for the last decade and haven’t loved them. I’m looking to replace them to get some that are beautiful, but this time wanted to go into it with better information. I’ve been to three cosmetic dentists but they are each suggesting a different material for veneers or crowns: emax, feldspathic, […]

My Gums Are Swollen After Porcelain Veneers

I had six porcelain veneers placed in Columbia. I know people say not to go out of the country for dental work, but it was one-third of the price. Plus, I took some precautions and went to a NY dentist that had relocated there. My smile is a bit wide so there are two teeth […]
