I had a slight indentation/scratch on my left incisor porcelain veneer. I scheduled an appointment with my dentist to buff away the scratch. Although the scratch is gone, the veneer looks dull. It is matte, not shiny, although it is smooth. Will the veneer stain easily now that the shine is gone? Could another dentist […]
My New Porcelain Veneers Affect My Speech
After getting ten upper porcelain veneers, I complained to my dentist that the veneers affected my speech and bite. My dentist removed the front four veneers to replace them. While taking off the veneer for the left central incisor, he broke off the tooth. I needed an extraction and dental implant. Now, I am wearing […]
My Front-Teeth Veneers Are Off-Center with My Lips
My porcelain veneers are off-center. The line between my upper front teeth is a little more than 1/8 inch to the left of my lip midline. I guess this means the other six veneers are in the wrong place, too. It’s noticeable and embarrassing. I could not see this disparity with my temporary veneers, which […]
Why Did My Dental Bonding Stain After a Month?
Why is my new dental bonding stained after a month? I don’t smoke or drink coffee or tea. My dentist implied that something I am eating or drinking is causing the bonding to stain, but that’s not the case. Will my dentist need to replace the bonding? Thank you. Ember from CA Ember, After […]
Dentist Forgot to Tell Me to Avoid Coffee with Dental Bonding
I’ve only had dental bonding for two months, but it is stained. I thought it would last longer. Should I avoid tea and coffee? I don’t drink soda. If my dentist had told me that the bonding would stain so quickly, I might have explored other options, even if they cost more. Thank you. Fern […]
The Filling Keeps Falling Out My Porcelain Veneer Tooth
I have a cavity in my top left canine tooth. My dentist filled the tooth, and the filling came out within a month. Last September, the filling came out again, and now the filling feels rough. This is a white filling, by the way. I don’t accept silver ones. I saw my dentist about the […]
I Lost My Taste After a Dental Appointment
I keep losing my taste. The first time it happened was a week after my dental cleaning and exam in November. I tested negative for Covid. I got the test, although I didn’t have symptoms. Everything I Google about the loss of taste comes up with Covid articles, but that is not the problem. This […]
Should I Replace Mismatched Dental Bonding with Veneers?
The bonding was wearing on my four front chipped teeth. I got the bonding in 2008, and it needed refreshing. I asked my dentist for veneers, but she said bonding is less expensive, veneers would require tooth preparation, and she could give me a perfect match with the bonding. So, I agreed. My dentist completed […]
I Thought Porcelain Veneers Don’t Stain
I thought that porcelain veneers were stain resistant until mine began staining last month. I got veneers in June 2021, so in just two years, I am noticing stains. I have not finished paying for the veneers yet. Should I schedule an exam with the cosmetic dentist who placed the veneers? I live almost two […]
My Temporary Veneers Are Awful
After weeks of talking to my dentist and planning my smile makeover, my temporary veneers are awful. They are not the color we agreed on, and they affect my speech. I told my dentist about the problem immediately, and she asked me to give the veneers a chance. I am ready to return to my […]
