I am confused about something. I have planned on getting porcelain veneers to get a beautiful smile. My teeth are okay, but they are showing how old I am. The color is way darker than I want. I also have one tooth that is a little crooked. Nothing serious, but if I want a pretty […]
Teeth Whitening Tips
I am getting a dental crown and want to update the whitening on my teeth before I have the crown made. It is going to be on a front tooth so I want my teeth white again. My dentist is having trouble advising me on this so I am hoping you can. Here are my […]
Treatment for a Traumatic Tooth Injury
I took a nasty fall a while back and now some of my top and bottom teeth are turning black. Do and need to get dental crowns or remove them and get false teeth? Is there any way these teeth can still look nice? One of the teeth seems to be in the wrong place […]
Dental Bonding Doesn’t Match
I had a chipped tooth that my dentist said he could repair with dental bonding. While I don’t have a chipped tooth any longer, the bonding part doesn’t really match the tooth part and it looks weird. Is that how dental bonding always looks? If not, should the dentist fix it or should I go […]
Will Dental Insurance Cover the Repair of Splotched Teeth?
My daughter has always had problems with her teeth because she doesn’t have as much enamel as she should. She recently had her braces removed and there were splotches on her teeth.

Can You Get a Single Porcelain Veneer?
I was planning on just getting one porcelain veneer for a tooth which has always bothered me. It’s always been darker than the other teeth. Originally, my dentist wanted to do a dental crown, but I didn’t want to grind the tooth down. He agreed to do the porcelain veneer. When it came in, it […]
Covering Tetracycline Stains
My twin sister and I both have tetracycline stains. About seven years ago, she had porcelain veneers placed to make her stained teeth look better. While I feel they do look better than the darkly stained teeth we’ve both suffered with, to me they didn’t look quite natural. She was told they had to use […]
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 […]
