I have been fed up with my smile for years and am trying to figure out how to find the best dentist. The biggest problem I have is that my front teeth are oddly shaped. They are also shorter than the others and turned slightly. When I considered getting something done about them before, I […]
I pressured my dentist into getting porcelain veneers.
I was so set on porcelain veneers and wouldn’t listen to anything the dentist told me. I think I screwed up. Here’s the deal. My teeth have always looked short and stubby to me. I would hide my smile in photos and was very self-conscious. This actress I follow was complaining about the same issues […]
This cosmetic dentist messed up.
My regular dentist was getting close to retirement and recommended I see a cosmetic dentist to repair a small chip in one of my front teeth. He recommended direct dental bonding and then said porcelain veneers would round out my smile. Then, in the consultation, he changed his mind and said I needed crowns since […]
Help, my porcelain veneer is turning dark near the gum.

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. […]
Love my porcelain veneers but hate my uneven gums.
I am really happy with the way my porcelain veneers turned out. My dentist made me try them on first to make sure they would be perfect. The thing that’s really bothering me is that my bottom gums look uneven now. See, my bottom teeth were crooked before this was done and the veneers seemed […]
I can’t keep my porcelain veneers on. They keep coming off.
I should start off saying that I’m a recovering bulimic. I feel like I have finally moved past that painful part of my life. But I have many negative health implications from the disease. One of them is my oral health. My smile took a beating. I had a lot of teeth that were literally […]
