I have been considering porcelain veneers for years. I’d like to have them placed on my four front teeth. I have been into see a couple cosmetic dentists for a consultation. But, I never moved forward. The main reason I haven’t moved forward is because they are so expensive. So, when I saw a local […]
I don’t want fake-looking porcelain veneers.
I am very interested in porcelain veneers. I am in a high profile job, so a nice smile is very important. But, I don’t want to look fake. I’ve seen cases that look too glitzy. Sadly, my teeth aren’t in good shape. So, I know veneers would be worth it. I just don’t want everyone […]
Why are my porcelain veneers so stained?
I loved my porcelain veneers from the second I saw them. I felt beautiful, confident and it changed my whole demeanor. But, after only two years, I’m not loving them so much anymore. After the first year, I started noticing some light staining on them. I couldn’t figure out if it was something I was […]
Will no prep porcelain veneers work for me?
I have relatively small teeth and one of the options I’m researching is no preparation veneers, like Lumineers.

Help! My porcelain veneers are way too white.

My porcelain veneers are gray. I look ridiculous!

Well, it’s only been a few months since my dentist did four porcelain veneers on my front teeth and they are turning gray! The color of the veneers has changed from when they were originally placed. When […]
Does it sound right that I’m being told that I need all my crowns redone?
I have had crowns on all my front teeth for over a decade. When I stop and think about it, the cosmetic dentist that placed them probably did it closer to 15 years ago now. I think they’ve managed to hold up well over the years. But I noticed that one of them feels like […]
Do you know if it’s possible to whiten dental bonding?
Hello, I am hoping that you can help me out. I have dental bonding done on my teeth over 14 years ago now. I wanted to explore my options to lighten the bonding work. Is it possible to have it whitened? If it is bleached will it return to the original color? Do I need […]
Why won’t teeth whitening strips work on my discolored tooth?
I have an annoying discolored tooth that shows when I smile. I admit, I’m a smoker (which won’t change) and I do drink a lot of coffee. I thought the tooth whitening strips would take care of it. But they are not working. In fact, it seem as if the tooth is actually looking darker. […]
Having Trouble Talking After Getting Porcelain Veneers
I had porcelain veneers done across my front teeth and crowns done on a couple of my back teeth about three months ago. The temporaries felt fine and I didn’t have any issue with them at all, but as soon as the permanent porcelain veneers went on, they felt really bulky. My tongue seems to […]
