Oct 16, 2013

As a dental professional, one of our jobs is to rebuild teeth that are highly compromised and not in the best of shape. This can be from trauma or from decay or other reasons. One of the challenges that we have is that we are currently unable to make materials that are as good as the tooth structure that you were born with and the human body is very unpredictable and things don’t always go as we would like. The other problem is that when we place something in someone’s…

cad/cam damage
Jul 22, 2013

I have been placing cad/cam restorations for 6 years now in my office and have not seen damage to the surrounding teeth in any cases. The porcelain that was used years ago use to cause some major wear on the opposing tooth, but the material is designed today to prevent that from happening and in my office, it has not been an issue.

I like the effort on the photos:) Invisalign works very well at aligning front teeth and rounding out your smile. We have brought teeth like this back many times doing just that. A thorough exam and evaluation would tell you for sure, but I would check it out if I were you! Enjoy the day!

There are billions of bacteria that live in the mouth and sometimes the conditions are just right that they will get under a temporary and turn it black. It is the bacteria that cause this and it can be cleaned off by brushing peroxide on the tooth. It doesn’t do any damage, but if it is in front it can hinder the looks of the crown. Hope that helps!

Should I Trust Groupon Veneers for $400?

$400 veneer
Feb 16, 2012

As a dentist who had been trained and does a lot of cosmetic dentistry, I would be careful of what you will be getting with a $400 veneer. Between the lab fee and the overhead expense, I would be losing a lot of money by doing a veneer for this little. Possibly the dentist is doing the lab work in house, which would save some expense, but you could just go ask them how they can do this for so little? There are also pre-fabricated veneers that are less costly, but again, you…

Extraction vs non-extraction
Jan 23, 2012

Based on what you have said and without any pictures, the real question here is why are you getting braces? Is it for you appearance? Is it to help headaches? Is it so you can clean your teeth better? I'm not sure but if you have teeth removed it will create space and the way that space is closed is to bring the teeth in toward your tongue and back. That will change your appearance and if that is what you want, great. I prefer a fuller face and I also…
