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 […]

Dentist Lied to Me About Veneers

I went to my dentist to get a smile makeover. We discussed in depth what I wanted and he suggested six porcelain veneers. I was excited about that. It turns out that that is not what happened. I should have been suspicious when he ground my teeth down to little nubs, because his website said […]

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 […]

Is It Normal for Porcelain Veneers to Fall Off?

I have been living a porcelain veneers nightmare for the last three years. My teeth weren’t horrible. They weren’t perfect either. However, my dentist said that I needed the veneers because of how I clench my teeth. I went ahead and did it. She ground down eight of my front teeth and put me in […]

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 […]

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 […]
