I have gotten to the point where I avoid people and social engagements because of my fake looking partial denture. I have been missing three teeth that are visible when I smile and I hate it. I also hate taking it out, even when it’s time for bed. I swear people can tell when I’m […]
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 […]
Help! I need these porcelain veneers redone.

Do you know if it’s possible to whiten dental bonding?

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 […]
Is it okay for a teen to get dental implants for congenitally missing teeth?

Wondering if porcelain veneers will give my smile a new shape?
I wanted to have a beautiful Hollywood smile. So my dentist recommended porcelain veneers. I ended up getting four done on my front teeth on the top arch. We talked in detail about the look I was going for and he was very convincing. But there is a problem. My teeth look short to me […]
