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 […]

Maryland Bridge for a Temporary Tooth Replacement

My daughter is congenitally missing her left lateral incisor. We have removed her baby tooth and done orthodontics to get all of her teeth in the right place. Our plan is to eventually replace this tooth with a dental implant. I know that I need a temporary tooth in there to hold the place open. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Which is Cheaper DURAthin or Lumineers?

I am planning on getting a smile makeover. Two brands I’ve been looking at are DURAthin and Lumineers. In the images I have seen, DURAthin looked more attractive. Can you tell me which brand is cheaper? Or, are they close together in price? This is a big decision and I’m wanting to make the right […]

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, […]

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 […]

Can You Place Porcelain Veneers over Lumineers?

I had Lumineers placed about ten years ago. They have never been as white as I wanted because my dentist said there was not a way to get them as white as I wanted. Recently, I had a friend who got porcelain veneers and hers were nice and white. I’m guessing the technology has either […]

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 […]
