The Cost of veneers also varies depending on the expertise of your treating cosmetic dentist! Since your FRONT teeth are discolored, and it is vital to you, I would not select my choices only to how much it cost, but to which dentist is the best! Having said that, you might be a candidate for internal bleaching, (whitening the discolored teeth due to root canal), if the root canals have been done properly.This procedure is called walking bleach also.

I am 23 years old, having healthy straight teeth, (braces before).my teeth are not that yellow. But i want whiter teeth that is noticeable in a natural way, should i really need veneers to achieve this?

and you must know that possible occlusal adjustment (shaping the enamel of the opposing teeth) might be necessary on the opposing teeth, to get the desired look. Having said that, if you are inclined to have Orthognathic surgery, or any Orthodontic (braces) dental treatment done, then I would wait till you have done your surgery and teeth movement first. However if you do want a more youthful and broadened smile (a zygomatic ) smile, then an expert cosmetic dentist can definitely do that for you. You must ask re other options, pros and cons for each procedure, so you do make your choice more intelligently based on your needs.

Basically I hate my smile. My parents never took me the dentist. When they did it was always what costs less, over quality. I have a crooked alignment, a mouth literally full of black fillings, and an infected crown. I had a root canal done on my front tooth which is now extremly discolored and chipping, which caused the other tooth to chip as well. I have all 4 of my wisdom teeth, one is coming in but has no room. And 2 gaps, top left, bottom right, where teeth were pulled due to convenience.

The next visit all options and costs must be presented to you, and depending on financial, you will be choosing. Of course the best option and the ideal dental treatment is presented to you first and then others.

Keep in mind, your first decision must be concentrated to improving the overall health and foundation of your mouth, if you ignore that treatment and skip to cosmetic dentistry, rest assured that the cosmetic dentistry done will fail also.

Also make sure you choose the least INVASIVE treatment, since your teeth are precious,and the more conservative the preparation of your teeth are, the longer you will keep them for the rest of your life.

Always ask the treating Cosmetic Dentist how many of these procedures he has done, and his success rate. You may also ask the dentist to do a mock up in your mouth if possible , or have a wax up of your new SMILE MAKEOVER presented to you. A smile makeover can cost as little as few thousand dollars to well excess of fifty thousand dollars, depending on the severity of the case and the expertise and know how of your cosmetic dentist.

After a lengthy pre-authorization process which they (insurance) require, they will usually deny dental services, unless it is an Oral surgical intervention and in some cases they will allow for sleep apnea appliances.

INSTANT ORTHODONTICS, usually is a procedure that cosmetic dentist will use via placing veneers, or dental crowns to make teeth look straight and aligned. If there is severe crooked teeth or crowded teeth, Instant orthodontics is not recommended as the only dental treatment.

Keep in mind veneers or thin veneers costs more than orthodontics, invisalign or braces. Again, since I do advocate the least invasive dentistry, possibly you can do combination of braces and veneers if time is a factor.

Depending on the level of your existing bones and the severity of your Implant placement and treatment, the fees varies. Keep in mind Implant dentists all have varied amount of knowledge and expertise, and dentistry is not a commodity, consequently there are different fees for services rendered , however the quality of service varies tremendously. The fee quoted to you to place 6 implants and fixed porcelain bridges, as a Los Angeles Implant Dentist is reasonable in Los Angeles CA, and maybe even in the low end, however you might be able to have 4 dental Implants and a hybrid prosthesis that functions the same for less. But then again a complete evaluation is needed, to determine if the 4 dental implants would suffice. Having a second opinion is great, but keep in mind not all dentists experience, vision in cosmetic dentistry field and care is the same, and you might be paying more for the best dentist to treat you, which in my opinion is well worth it.

I had a root canal & crown in May. My tooth continued to hurt, radiating to the jaw, as well as the gum tissue at the new crown site. Saw my dentist & it was decided I needed a mouthguard. The xrays showed my tooth was fine. I have been trying to wear the mouthguard for about 2 weeks now & it seems my tooth hurts more than ever. Ive had adjustments done on the mouthguard. I cant seem to bite on that side and it hurts more when I tap the top of it. Why am I having this pain and its worse now?

I used some for half hour for two weeks. Theres some improvement. But still no where where my whiting needs to be. How long should I breach and how frequent in order to get the results I want? I dont smoke, drink coffee, or tea.

it can be difficult to bleach teeth with internal staining, such as tetracycline staining on teeth. Other means of permanent whitening are available which is beyond the scope of this question. The whitening bleaching gels are 2 categories, one is with with carbomide peroxide , the other is hydrogen peroxide derivative.

The hydrogen peroxide will give you a boost of color change much faster and in a shorter time. Your best bet is (after you make sure your gums are healthy and No Roots are exposed and your fillings if any are not leaking) then get custom trays done. The custom trays are of vital importance to the final results.

Then my recommendation will be use either 12-14% hydrogen peroxide gel or 22-36% carbomide peroxide gels. The duration for hydrogen peroxide bleaching must be limited to max 5 to 15 minutes, however for carbomide peroxide duration can go up to one hour a day for a week or two.

If there is hypocalcification spots (white chalky spots after your bleach ), then stop the whitening, also if there is any sensitivity stop whitening immediately and contact your dentist. If there is no change in color after a week, without sensitivity consult a cosmetic dentist for further guidance.

and can produce amazing results. As a matter of fact the bonding can be done without removal of any tooth structure . I do recommend you get a mock up in your mouth before the composite bonding is permanently placed, so you do check out how it looks in your mouth. A cosmetic dentist most certainly should be able to do that. If for any reason you were not satisfied, you can then choose porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are more invasive than dental bonding, and do require 2 visits and are more costly, however it can produce amazing results with color stability and strength. Understand that you can always go to porcelain veneers if the bonding ever fails, however you can not go back to dental bonding if the dental veneer fails. Your third choice is to have orthodontic treatment, and close the spaces and gaps, in which the treatment time is quite longer.

Hello, I have a question regarding the aesthetics of my teeth. I have a couple pictures of my smile right now and a picture of how I want them to be. My main concerns have to do with the length of my teeth not being level with one another and a small gap between my two front teeth. What would I need done and how much would it typically cost? Thank you very much!

I have a slight vertical crack in my front tooth. Theres no pain and it is not very noticeable except to me and my dentist. He mentioned getting 1 veneer (Id get 2 if its my only option so the 2 front teeth match) but is there something else I can do and worth looking into?

Your options are as follow:, Do not do anything, wear a night guard, seal the tooth and observe, place dental bonding to again seal and repair the crack, possibly a no prep veneer, such as lumineer and last option is to have dental porcelain veneer.Keep in mind, that Porcelain veneer is irreversible dental cosmetic procedure, meaning tooth structure needs to be removed and prepared.Lumineers however is a no prep,( no removal of tooth structure) but is will slightly be bulkier than veneer, but again it all depends on your clinical examination. You need to try to avoid chewing on ice,and be more cautious regarding biting on hard foods, since you do have a crack.Porcelain veneer can strengthen your tooth, but again before having it done, many factors must be considered vs a no prep or lumineer or other options mentione above.

My teeth started to shift as a child. Poor family, never went to the dentist, therefore restorations, a root canal, and now braces have been or are now needed. Not sure what to do Braces chit, Takes a lot of paper work, and most of the time the request gets denied. Since Im young, most dentists recommend braces and no to veneers, so Im in a tough situation. Looking for someone to help me through this journey. Im so ready to make a change! I just took some more pictures.

My previous intimate partner Yanked a glass bottle from my mouth while I was drinking and it cracked my front right tooth next to my left front tooth. What is the best and affordable option. I havent seen a dentist yet so Id like to go with some professional advice please help. Thank you for your time and consideration

Advise you to have xray of the tooth and make sure the nerve is not involved, and there is no sensitivity upon percussion (tapping on the tooth).Now cosmetically you have several options: 1- Dental Bonding, which is a quick fix, for pros and cons you can visit our website, and it is the least expensive procedure 2- Dental porcelain veneer, is stronger and strengthens your tooth, it is more durable permanent restoration than dental bonding.I do not recommend lumineer for your tooth since it will look bulkier than your other front tooth, but a thin veneer can match your other teeth! although to have a one veneer front tooth, can be challenging ! 3- Consider a dental crown depending on your dental examination of the front tooth! that is a more radical approach, which I try to avoid if possible, since it involves a more radical preparation by dentist to fit a crown for your tooth VS dental bonding or veneer.Best is to to have the least radical dental treatment, and the least invasive dentistry, and evaluate! You can always go to a more radical treatment if you started with the least conservative treatment.

The dentist must know how much can be removed from the enamel, and not expose the dentin on your tooth.In some cases if indicated, tooth movement is your other option, if you do not want your existing teeth to be contoured and shaped, in which that will take longer time to get the results.Best of Luck !

Read so many studies that a small cavity can heal itself and decay gone by remineralization using fluoride and xylitol. Is this true? Can you actually heal a cavity by this method? Studies said rinsing with ACT( or any other fluoride rinse) & xylitol daily will actually reverse a cavity. I find it hard to believe. Once you have a cavity, small or not the only way is to fill it. But a dentist wrote that she has patients she has seen cavities gone in a few months with this method. Is this true?

If the cavity is in the enamel, and has not penetrated thru DENTIN, then your cavity can be remineralized.It all dependy on your oral hygiene, the quality and the quantity of your saliva, and your diet. Generally the more acidic your saliva, the more prone you are to cavities or gum disease.Ask your dentist regarding the products available to aid you prevent decays, and gum disease.Good luck !

I find that either my teeth are too small or my lips are too big. But then I think about all the people I know of that have bigger lips and a huge smile where their teeth show. Mine doesnt show much and Ive gotten so self conscious about it, if i laugh or smile with my mouth open, it almost seems like I have no teeth. FIY Ive also had a revision rhino and Its still in the healing process so excuse my swollen nose

Looking at your teeth , yes porcelain veneers or dental bonding can make your teeth longer, but it might not last a long time depending on your bite, and how many veneers we are placing to make your smile cosmetically pleasing, and FUNCTION the right way, so it can feel good and last a long time.The Length of your roots, and the level of your bone determines what can be done in combination with your existing bite.You will need a comprehensive dental evaluation to get the answers!in your case possibility of surgical intervention to lift up your lips in combination with dental veneers might work great, just looking at your pictures.This can give you a huge lift on how you feel about yourself, although it might be pricey, the outcome is well worth your investment. If you do have a cosmetic dentist, you need a complete evaluation.Best of luck,

However, If you do not like the shape of your teeth or the color, you must consult the cosmetic dentist near your area, to discuss, whitening, cosmetic re contouring of smile line, dental bonding,and porcelain veneers for a more permanant result. the cost varies, the pros and cons of each procedure varies also. You can even do combination of restorative and invisalign procedure, however ask your DDS to do a wax up for you, so you will know the end picture. You really need a full mouth Evaluation for all above. Hope I have helped you. Best of Luck!

HConsider orthodontics, or invisalign, due to gaps and spaces you have, this will take some time, if you want accelerated results (orthodontics or invisalign is not for you ).If you are not happy with the color, first do whitening of your teeth, to boost the desired color, understand that the bleaching procedure is not a permanent whitening of your teeth!To close the gaps and make your teeth more proportioned, (see Da Vinci golden proportions) and to restore natural beauty, you can consider dental bonding, which is the least invasive procedure (that is the good thing), however it can stain , and is not as permanent and strong, compared to dental porcelain veneers.The benefit to you, is that not much tooth removal is required, it can be done in one visit, the cost of dental bonding (depending on the expertise of the dentist) is lower compared to veneers, or dental porcelain crowns.The only draw back is possible staining, and the composite bonding material is not as strong compared to their counter part, Porcelain, meaning it can fracture or break.

If you are looking for a permanent restoration, you can consider dental porcelain veneers, in which the color you and your dentist choose will be stable, and the porcelain is strong, lasting you many years.The cosmetic dentist experience is of vital importance to prepare your teeth judiciously, and make your veneers last 20 plus years, consequently the costs of porcelain veneers vary tremendously depending on which cosmetic dentist you go to. If you want the best, then probably you pay a higher fee for the dexterity, the artistic ability, and the know how of the cosmetic dentist.

Cost of dental treatments mentioned above vary, depending on each DDS and their experience, to give you the best and lasting results. Generally teeth whitening is the least expensive, followed by dental bonding, and invisalign, and the high end cost is when you choose to have porcelain veneers for the most permanent restoration.

not much enamel removal is necessary, no second visit is needed, no anesthesia is needed, and can last a long time, and lastly dental bonding procedure is less cost than Porcelain veneer.The disadvantage: it is not as strong or permanent compared to dental veneers. If you do not like your teeth to look wider and bigger, then you must find an expert cosmetic dentist to do an evaluation regarding your 4 front teeth, measure the space, and then do a wax up to properly divide the space for your 4 front teeth to show you the final outcome via veneersThe Advantage: you will have a permanent restoration, strong, that does not stain, and the shape of your teeth are more proportioned( read about Da vinci principal of golden proportion, and natural beauty, which you can find in our website.The disadvantage: tooth removal is required, the cost will be much more also, and you will be needing couple of visits. Depending on your budget, and what exactly you want, the above apply. hope I helped you, and good luck!

I have two crowns on my lower back teeth where food (worse with steak/ chicken etc) always gets stuck between. When I floss, its very hard to get the food out. The floss also catches on something on one of the crowns lower edges- like there is an overhang on the crown. Then, when I get the food out, the area is very sensitive to cold (like when I swish water around to clear the area). The dentist is aware of the part that catches on the floss, but did not seemed concerned enough to fix it.

You must address this as soon as possible with your dentist to avoid further breakdown! Most food can get stuck between teeth, due to pathologic migration, meaning tooth movements as the result of your bite and occlusion, in some instances bite adjustments can remedy the problem, however if food impaction continues , your dentist must close the contact between teeth, either via redoing the crown, or restoration, or in some cases orthodontic intervention, (for patients who did finish teeth movement, had orthodontics, however they do not wear the retainers ), to prevent caries, and gum disease.

I just had a crown put on my rear molar a week ago and continue to have pain. I have not even chewed on this side due to the discomfort. I am not sensitive to cold or hot but every time I bite down I can feel the pain. The crown was recommended by my doctor but I had no pain prior. Could he have drilled too deep striking a nerve to cause this pain? Am I really going to have to get a root canal now?

If your Crown is sensitive to hot fluids, there could be a nerve problem, If to cold it might be reversible. If the dental crown is sensitive to chewing pressure, then the crown might be high, to your bite or occlusion. Did your dentist warned you about any sensitivity before cementing your crown ? MAYBE DUE TO DEEP CARIES ? and possibility of root canal exists ? The above are just possibilities, but there are many other factors that can cause sensitivity and discomfort, including nerves, gums, bite, and the method of cements used to seat your dental crown, and the type of crown you have. Is your crown an Emax? zirconia ? of porcelain fused to metal ? each crown have specific cement protocol, and if not followed can cause sensitivity, or pain also.

By definition lumineers are no preparation veneers, meaning the dentist is not going to do any preparation on the patients teeth, and the dentist need to only take impressions and bond them properly. If preparation is required on the teeth, then they are considered thin veneers, or porcelain veneers. Please Note: lumineers is not for everyone !Porcelain veneers however require total planning, time of the DDS, skill as far as the preparation, the dexterity of the practitioner, and the know how, and the artistic eye of the cosmetic dentist to manifest what the patient wants.So Definetly comparing lumineers vs veneer cost, the porcelain veneers are more costly.

A: Drugs such as cocaine, does not damage the restoration itself ( such as veneers or dental lumineers), however it does cause dryness of your mouth, in which that can cause damage to the supporting structure of your teeth, roots, and gums by causing decay, and periodontal problems, besides the systemic problem it causes

Cocaine can cause also grinding and clenching of your teeth, in which can fracture your porcelain veneer, or lunineers. Alcohol can also cause dry mouth, in which can cause decay, and gingival dental problems.

Judging from my photos would I be a candidate for this or would raising the maxilla cause too large a gap vertically between upper and lower teeth? As I am having surgery to advance upper and lower jaws I am wondering if also RAISING the upper jaw in addition would complicate the procedure significantly or not and what would it consist of surgically?

Hi, I recently had a root canal on my front tooth. It is still noticeably grey, by no means black though. I want to use that tooth as one of the abutments for a dental bridge, as I have a tooth missing next to it. Will a dental bridge cap completely cover the grey tooth? My dentist has brought up internal bleaching before doing so because the fake teeth are translucent and the grey may show through, though Im not sure if he just wants me to pay more Any help is appreciated, thanks!

However if you do want to have a non metal bridge, it is best to use lava, with an opaque core, however I have seen even with a lava bridge, some grey showing, in that case depending on the integrity of the tooth and the root canal performed on the tooth,I suggest you do internal bleaching. If your dentist is going to use Lithium Disilicate, such as Emax, which is usually translucent, Definitely the gray color must be addressed before preparation, Since your DDS must know the gray will show much darker after the preparation of your tooth, and will be flashing through the porcelain, on your new dental bridge.

A: First let your dentist guide you, to make sure the discoloration of your teeth are not intrinsic (meaning it is not internal discoloration), it can be difficult to bleach teeth with internal staining, such as tetracucline staining on teeth

Other means of permanent whitening are available which is beyond the scope of this question. The whitening bleaching gels are 2 categories, one is with with carbomide peroxide , the other is hydrogen peroxide derivative.The hydrogen peroxide will give you a boost of color change much faster and in a shorter time. Your best bet is (after you make sure your gums are healthy and No Roots are exposed and your fillings if any are not leaking) then get custom trays done. The custom trays are of vital importance to the final results.Then my recommendation will be use either 12-14% hydrogen peroxide gel or 22-36% carbomide peroxide gels. The duration for hydrogen peroxide bleaching must be limited to max 15 minutes, however for carbomide peroxide duration can go up to one hour a day for a week or two.If there is hypocalcification spots (white chaulky spots after your bleach ), then stop the whitening, also if there is any sensitivity stop whitening immediately and contact your dentist. If there is no change in color after a week, without sensitivity consult a cosmetic dentist for further guidence.

While veneers do not have the same decaying properties as your natural teeth, they still need to be taken care of. We strongly encourage you to keep up with your daily flossing habits even after you receive veneers.

Your veneers are not going to last as long as they should if you do not take care of them. They are not a hall pass from having good oral hygiene simply because they are not your natural teeth. Food residue can still get to your natural teeth to cause damage. Your veneers can stain without proper care.

You should continue to brush your teeth as usual after you get veneers. There are several things that can improve the way you are brushing and flossing veneers. You should aim to clean each side of your teeth, not just the part that shows when you smile.

Some patients are unable to fit floss between their teeth because of the way the veneers are placed. This can be addressed by our dentist, whether he placed your veneers or not. If veneers are placed too close together, it can hinder your ability to properly clean your teeth.
