I am rather upset about my smile makeover. My dentist made six porcelain crowns for me. First, not only does the color not match the rest of my teeth, but the crowns themselves are turning yellow and I have not had them that long, in fact it has only been a little less than a […]
Full Mouth Reconstruction Horror Story
I had 18-year-old porcelain veneers that needed to be replaced. I just wanted the same smile I had. For some reason, he said my bite needs to be opened so you can see the teeth and he needed to do a few crowns to make that happen. Whatever he did doesn’t feel right and you […]
Veneers Keep Popping Off
I am frustrated. I had a smile makeover done with porcelain veneers and it has been a disaster. First, he ground down my teeth to little nubs. I guess that would be okay if the stupid veneers would stay on. I should have known there would be a problem when the temporary veneers didn’t stay […]

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 […]
Is Baking Soda Bad for Dental Bonding?
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 […]
