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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Full Mouth Construction for Whiter Teeth?

About 25 years ago, I had a smile makeover that included one dental crown and three porcelain veneers. They need to be replaced. I went to see my dentist about it and he suggested I do full upper and lower crowns because my teeth have yellowed. I’m a bit uncomfortable with crowns on teeth that […]

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 […]

A Smile Makeover When You Have Enamel Hypoplasia

I have enamel hypoplasia and am tired of being embarrassed with my smile. What would be the best way to get a smile makeover when there is that complication? Is it even possible? My general dentist feels I should just be happy that I have healthy teeth. I am, but we live in a world […]
