I had a combination of porcelain veneers and crowns done a few months back and I’m so disappointed. My temporaries were great and I had no problems with them. Everything went downhill once I got my permanents. They seemed bulky at first, but I thought I just needed to get used to them. But the […]
I want porcelain veneers, but I’m afraid they’ll look too “perfect”
I want to improve my teeth by getting porcelain veneers, but I’m not completely sure it’s the best choice for me. I’m planning to run for a local office and there’s no doubt that having a nice smile makes all the difference in the world. Right now, my teeth are pretty worn down and I […]
Porcelain veneer has left my smile in the dark
I had a single porcelain veneer done in order to repair a sizable chip on one of my front teeth. Initially, it looked very good and was an exact match for the surrounding teeth- nobody could tell I’d had dental work done. It’s been about two years now and I’m starting to see a dark […]
My dentist didn’t tell me I couldn’t use mouthwash & now my veneers are gray!
Since getting my porcelain veneers about a year ago, I’ve noticed that they are starting to look gray. My dentist didn’t give me any formal care instructions after the procedure, so I have just been doing what I have always done – brushing with a hard-bristled tooth brush, Colgate and rinsing daily with Listerine (with […]
I got porcelain veneers and now I can’t floss!
About a week ago, I had 8 porcelain veneers placed. I’ve been a life-long flosser and when I went to floss for the first time after getting the veneers, I couldn’t get it in between my teeth. It seems like my porcelain veneers are placed too close together. For now, I’m using a water pik to clean […]
Is CEREC a good choice for veneers?
My smile has definitely aged in the last few years. Not only are my teeth dingy looking, I’ve got a couple chipped ones, too. I’ll be celebrating my “Big 5-0” in a few months and my gift to myself will be porcelain veneers. I can hardly wait, so I asked my dentist about it at […]
Will an emergency dentist re-attach my porcelain veneer?
I have a job interview in two days, and one of my veneers just popped off. It doesn’t hurt, but it looks horrible, and I’m terrified it will cost me the job. I think this qualifies as a dental emergency, but my dentist’s office doesn’t seem to agree. They said they can’t get me in […]
Will the color match if I have one veneer replaced?
It’s been about a month since I had porcelain veneers placed on my top teeth. I’m really happy with how they look, but it hasn’t exactly been a smooth process to say the least. I started having pretty severe sensitivity on my one front teeth and my dentist determined that there is some exposed dentin. […]
How does my dentist know my veneers are comfortable?!
I was so excited to get my porcelain veneers, but now that I have them, I am completely disappointed – so much so that I am trying to get some of my money back on the procedure because the veneers need to redone. But my dentist doesn’t agree. I told her that they are bulky […]
Help! My gums are irritated after porcelain veneer prep
I’m in the middle of the process of getting porcelain veneers. I had my teeth prepped and am wearing the temporary veneers for the next two weeks. I’m concerned because my gums are red and irritated. They have been bleeding, too. My gums were not like this before, and I’m worried there is something wrong. […]
