Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Do I have to pay 1,000-2,000 dollars for a very minor case?
minor tooth movement
Feb 10, 2017
To move teeth you need invisalign or something similar. Your overall bite can be affected by the slightest shift. Some dentist can fabricate a special aligner that can shift only the front tooth slightly without going through an entire invisalign case but not every dentist feels comfortable doing this. Another option is to do enamelplasty which re-shapes the tooth a bit and gives the illusion the tooth is aligned more symetrically. This involves removing…
Gap in lower teeth is cutting my tongue after scaling. How can I make it stop?
cutting tongue
Feb 10, 2017
It is a good thing that you had the scaling done. Your gums are the foundation on your mouth and periodontal disease leads to bone/tooth loss. Keep it in check and go back for cleanings every 3-4 months. Also ask your dentist about bonding the lower front teeth to close the space a bit and smooth out the sharpness. Bonding is applying tooth colored filling material to the teeth. It is used in fillings and fixing chipped teeth. If there is significant gum recession in the area, a gum…
Can I fix my small smile?
small smile
Feb 10, 2017
A combination of Orthodontics and veneers will help. Also subtle lip filler can change the way your lip looks when you smile. You can achieve what you are looking for but it will take time and money. Consult an orthodontist as well as a cosmetic dentist.
Is Zoom whitening necessary for my sensitive already a1 shade teeth?
zoom with veneers?
Feb 10, 2017
Your dentist recommended Zoom because the new veneer need a shade/color. If you are happy with your current shade on the natural teeth, then tell him or her that. If you feel you want to lighten your natural teeth and match those with new veneers, then do the whitening/zoom. The veneers will not change color but your natural teeth will only get darker…bleach trays for ‘touch-ups’ are also useful when you have veneers, next to natural teeth. A1 is light but B1 is the lightest shade…..
Can I have permanent damage to my gums from zoom teeth whitening?
gum damage
Feb 10, 2017
Your situation is not permanent and your gums will heal. Try warm salt water rinses and vitamin E to help it heal faster. The dental assistant was probably inexperienced in doing the whitening for this type of situation to happen. I would go back and have the dentist take a look and explain to him or her how much your soft tissue was not properly blocked/protected. There is a very basic step when performing a in-office teeth bleaching and that is to block / protect the gums from the bleach….
What does “raising your margins” mean?
raising margins
Feb 10, 2017
Margins refer to the border between your natural tooth and the veneer. This border should be smooth and and complety sealed. I do not have all the details on your case and just relying on this post of your perspective… margins are typcially near the gum line but usually below the gum line. Gum tissue can recede over time and expose the margins…going deeper under the gum can prevent this. If your teeth were short but your new veneers are longer, a ‘raised’ margin could be…
Can invisalign work in my case in order to fix the black triangle? Is IPR necessary in my case? (Pho
black triangle
Feb 10, 2017
IPR is sometimes necessary to achieve optimal results and give your teeth room to move into place. IPR only reduces the enamel by millimeters…very small amount of enamel is removed, not enough to be concerned about. There is no stripping of teeth done when it comes to this.
The black triangle can be reduced or minimized with invisalign. Each invisalign case has steps to reach optimal results and IPR might be indicated. You could also try bonding with resin composite (tooth…
