Should I get porcelain veneers?
968296
I had thought about it too but found out they're going to file my teeth down.  veneers are permanent and that sort of disturbs me. I did have my teeth bleached and they look great and I also had braces a few yrs ago since I didn't as a kid. some veneers turn yellow too. so ask your dentist how long they'll staywhite and what happens if you have to replace them

How many teeth did you lose?  That makes a difference in deciding whether you should go with a partial, or a full denture.  Implants are an option, but as someone already mentioned, they are expensive-- about a grand per tooth.  A partial is not a bad thing.  A denture is not a bad thing.  You would be amazed at how many hollywood smiles you see that are really nothing but gums behind it all.  You should considr this a blessing rather than a curse, as you are now "forced" to get the perfect smile.  Don't fret. If the rest of your teeth that remain after the accident, are in need of dental assistance, keep them if you can afford to do so, but if not-- lose them and create your own smile and make the rest of the world envy it.  No one has to know, and it's nothing to be ashames of.  Getcha' grill done!  It's all about presentation.  I went down to Matamoros, Mexico to get my grill done.  I saved a ****load, and had a blast in the "mercado", drinkig Margaritas at the same time.  If you want my dentist's number, call me.  radio.djay@yahoo.com

Unfortunately no. Invisilign is only meant for the very minimal of straightening of the teeth and as far as the venners go. It all depends on who does your veneers. I have 4 of them in the front and they are beautiful and I have had them for about 6 years and ahve never had a problem with them. They are much easier to care for than braces and depending on how many you need could be much cheaper, but I wouldn't let a dentist in Iraq do them no offense to anyone. My husband is a D.D.S. here in California and he specializes in cosmetic dentistry etc. He did my veneers and a whole lot of full mouth reconstruction cases and all of our patients have been thrilled with them. If you ever make it back to the states and can wait to have them done , I would seriously consider looking him up. We have had people all the way from England fly in to have their work done by him. Look him up and you can even email him for further dental questions.  www.lafrom.com  Hope this helps!

no, it will not stain your porcelain crowns or veneers.  but it can do some major damage to the rest of your mouth, as well as your body.  I think your should be more worried about getting cancer of the liver, pancreas, tongue, throat, stomach, etc.  Did you know that cancer of the mouth is one of the hardest to treat, let alone treating with out leaving any disfiguring scars?  Not so worried about staining your teeth now are you?

if i'm understanding you correctly, do you have heavily stained teeth, perhaps from tetracycline, that you would like to mask?  pigments do not stay on enamel but your condition can be treated with direct composite(cheaper) to porcelain veneers.  consult your dentist for treatment options

You can get the chip fixed easily by ceramic coating filling. However, the fitting of veneers is the best way to fix all your problems. This is expensive, suggest you consider getting it done during a short stay in Poland - its much cheaper, there  about 2/3rds of UK prices. View this for ideas - no recommendation intended.   \nSee this: http://www.privatehealth.co.uk/index.asp?pgid=14316&fs=n. Or this http://www.dentaltreatment.org.uk/pricelist.php

no they don't hurt,,, the worse part would be the shot.. they are worth the money ,, your smile is usually the first thing people notice,, yes they are a bit expensive , but you can have a couple done at a time if you cant afford to have them all done at once.but if your having the front teeth done with veneers you will want to have them all done at the same time so they can match the shade exactly the same,, good luck and smile proud!!

Lady! you have got some good ole  Tori.  Your dentist is correct. Cost somewhere between $200-300 per side.  Believe me it is worth it. A hard denture riding on those bones would be worse then a bur under the saddle of a horse. You should heal in about a week and the dentures will fit better.  But remember a lower denture will never fit very well.  The tongue, lips and floor of the mouth will make that baby jump around the rest of your life.  I personal recommend that you see about having implants placed to help stabilize or anchor that thing in.  Never get mad at a dentist for a poor fitting denture. It will never be as good as real teeth.

Yes if it is small, Say about a milimeter they can be bonded.  \nIf you have longer teeth then you may even go up to 1.5mm without it looking toooo funky.\nIf your teeth are short and healthy and your not a heavy grinder, you may be able to veneer them with porcelain.  \n\n\nBut what you really need to ask is why do you have it?\nWhat is your age, history of the gap, recent or developmental,  your habits that may be causing it, and so much more.  If you don't do a carefull history,  then if the gap is caused by something your doing then it may come back after you close it.  If your dentist just says yep I'll do with out thinking, be carefull.

The cost  is between $700-$1200.you go for the veneers if you are not satisfied with the shape or shade of your teeth.the problem with the veneers is it might crack or chipped specially if you are a grinder also if your gum recede in future the margins of the veneer near your gum line will show and you need to changed them.the more Conservative approach is Orthodontics treatment(braces).also you can try Invisaline(invisible orthodontics treatment) that works great , it  costs $3000-$5000 and the process will take about 6 months to 2 year depend on your teeth situation.you can use the invisaline try for teeth whitening also.

Yes, first of all you need to see a mental practioner. They will be able to assist you and plan out a therapy that will be most effective. Secondly, it WILL cause you serious health problems. NO ONE'S body is meant to go through what your is doing right now. It will be very bad if you don't stop. Just ask yourself: Is this really worth it?  Also, you will need dentures soon, due to the constant acidic state your teeth are in now.  Sorry to be so graphic, but you are not an exception to the rule.

i would get a second opinion.  If you have spent a ton of money putting them on...then it may be that your dentist wants more cash!

tet stain will only slightly lighten with even the best professional whiteners. you need to have something done like crowns or veneers. keep in mind veneers are thin and if your stain is on the more severe end of the spectrum it could still show through. I would recommend a Porcelain Fused to Noble Metal Crown be placed on at least your front six teeth. Maybe even 8 depending on how wide your smile is. This looks beautiful, but keep in mind it is a large investment and you must keep up with regular dental cleanings to maintain this type of dental work. Good Luck.

Oh u can have a dentist send them to a lab and get them cleaned and polished to look great in no time. You may even be able to take them yourself. I work at a lab and its easy to make them look good again. Check with a nearby dr or see if there might be a dental lab in your area.

Unfortunately the porcelin crowns take a lot of extra work to make so cost much more.  The metal ones are fine, I have one despite initial reservations about it.  I dont think you will find a dentsist that does it within the £189!

if you're in your teens you should go with invisalign, it's hardly noticible and other people will have them. Otherwise I would get surgery even though it would take up time and cost money because then you might stick out a little with braces or invisalign.

I'm a dentist.\n\nThere is no simple answer to that question, because gaps are caused by different problems.  It could be that your teeth are flared too much, and that causes spacing (of course, that usually causes spacing between multiple front teeth, not just your two central incisors).  It could be that you have too much maxillar arch length and that ALL of your teeth in your upper jaw are too small to use up the arch space.  If it's either of these, then you'll likely need braces, as trying to put bondings on them or veneers to close the gaps would result in front teeth that are abnormally wide....which is unsightly.\n\nIf your two front teeth are just a little too narrow, then bondings will work, but porcelain veneers are better.  They generally look better, are less likely to develop decay underneath, are not prone to staining the way bondings are, and generally last much longer.  They are more expensive, of course.  In my experience, however, the aesthetic superiority of porcelain veneers makes the added cost worth it.\n\nI charge $900 for porcelain veneers per tooth.  $250 for bondings per tooth.
