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 […]

I Am Very Unhappy with My Daughter’s Lumineers

My daughter has always had teeth she was embarrassed about. I decided to invest a huge amount of money to get her a smile makeover. My dentist said he was a cosmetic dentist, but after the disaster I am about to tell you about, I learned that he is just a general dentist. They gave […]

Dealing with Missing and Deformed Incisors

I have problems with both my upper lateral incisors. One of them is deformed and slightly recessed. The other is missing and has been forever. It just never came in. After having braces to open up the spot for the missing tooth I got a dental flipper. However, I am looking for a more permanent […]

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 […]

Are Lumineers Reversible?

I want to get a smile makeover and am considering Lumineers. I’ve noticed that the reviews seem to be mixed. Some people love them, while others feel like their smile was prettier before they forked out all their money. I will admit that that makes me a bit nervous as this is a huge investment […]

Stain on My Lumineers

I just spent a fortune on Lumineers and am a bit heartbroken about the results. I specifically asked for a very white smile but for some reason the dentist ordered a stain on them. I didn’t get to see them before he bonding them on. When I finally go to look at them, I wasn’t […]
