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 […]
My Teeth Are Too Short
My teeth are too short, and I am self-conscious about them. Two of my sisters and a few cousins on my Mom’s side of the family have short teeth. I seem to be the only one annoyed enough to do something about it. It appears to be a genetic issue. I have been looking online […]
Why on earth are my porcelain veneers turning gray?
I made a big investment in myself a little over six months ago. I actually had 20 porcelain veneers done. I have been noticing lately that my veneers are looking gray. Do you know what could be causing this to happen? I am wondering if it’s my daily oral hygiene routine? I use Listerine, and […]
Is it OK to get a digital smile makeover?
Have you heard of a digital smile makeover? I saw something about it on television. It looks convenient and really easy. From what I understand, I just need to upload a photograph of myself and it will generate different looks to improve my smile. I can try different shapes and colors and actually see what […]
