I’ve had dental bonding done and really liked it. I was trying hard to take care of them. I even brushed with baking soda instead of regular toothpaste. Now am wondering if I did something wrong. I’ve only had them a week and they’re already starting to turn yellow. Is this normal or did I […]
Dentist Wants to Reconstruct Her Bite to Make Her Teeth Whiter
I need some advice. I’ve got a dental crown and 5 porcelain veneers. All of them are quite old 30+ years and need to be replaced. My dentist wants to crown all of my teeth because my smile isn’t very white and he feels it will look better. Is there an advantage to this I […]
Solution to White Spots on Teeth
I have quite a few white spots on my teeth. My dentist has provided me with some Tooth Mousse and said if that doesn’t work, we’ll follow up with teeth whitening after the quarantine is over.

Gum Inflammation with Porcelain Veneers
I had porcelain veneers put on four teeth. Since then, my gums have been inflamed. I went to see my dentist and they said they’ve never seen that happen and it must mean I’m not brushing well enough. Not only did this annoy me because it wasn’t true, it did nothing to help me. The […]
Is It Possible to Get a Beautiful Smile After 25 Years with Dentures?
I’ve had dentures for a little over twenty-five years. While they have been a decent replacement for me, they’ve never been attractive.

Worried about Dentist’s Recommendation
I’m getting a smile makeover but am having doubts about the dentist I chose. His mane is Dr. —— [Name redacted] He wants to do CEREC veneers and plans on them being 5 mm. I’ve done some research and that seems thick to me. My sister-in-law suggested I contact you because you’re known for good […]
Another Cosmetic Dentistry Disaster
I’m reaching out to you for some help. I’ve spent a lot of money on this and I’ve done nothing but cry since. My dentist and I spent a great deal of time going over exactly what I wanted. When the set came back they were bulky and chalky looking. I asked him to send […]
