Is There an Alternative to These 2 Front Big Veneer? (4 Veneers Here but the First 2 Are Big) (photo
Big veneers
Jul 20, 2013
In my opinion you will get a better look if you do more veneers. I think I would get a wax up with 8 veneers to see if you can make the space smaller by changing the size of 8 teeth. I have found when doing more teeth you can make all the teeth close to the “golden proportion”. You can look online what “the golden proportion” is. It basically a set of measurements, of the size of the teeth , which we as humans find pleasing to the eye. When you have teeth out of proportion our eyes catch it…
Do my Vaneers Look Good? Fake?
Veneers good or Fake??
Feb 27, 2013
The question is: Do you like them?? If you like them then they are good. It is hard to tell with these pictures. There are limitations with composite veneers. You will probably have to redo them eventually as composite picks up stain. I think your dentist did a good job. When you are not a poor student, and you need to redo them, you may want to think about porcelain veneers as it will save you money in the long run. Just maintain them the best you can and they should last a long time .
Is It Normal for a Post to Show at the Bottom of a Tooth?
Post sticking out.
Feb 27, 2013
It depends what you are calling the bottom of the tooth?? It would be much easier to tell what you are talking about if you enclosed a picture. What you may be calling the bottom, someone else may call the top??? If you are talking about the biting surface, then you maybe be able to see the post or possibly feel the post. You need to remember this is a temporary phase, and you should not wait too long to get the crown on the tooth. I have seen many teeth fracture beyond repair when no crown…
Who’s Fault for Tooth Fracture?
Tooth Fracture
Feb 7, 2013
The question why did it need a post?? Many times when teeth are worked on multiple times they become brittle. It could also be that the structural integrity was compromised due to a large amount of dentistry on a single tooth. You have to realize that dentists are trying to save your teeth. I would say unfortunately sometimes this happens.
Just Had Veneer and It Didn’t Help , Advice Please?
Discoloured tooth after root canal/ veneer
Feb 7, 2013
This is a tough one! Many times the root discolours after a root canal. Does the discolouration show through at the gumline, or is it in the main body of the tooth?? Can you post any pictures? Is it the porcelain does not match the other teeth?? Is it an improvement from what was there before?? I would suggest that you speak to your dentist, and inform him that you are not happy with your current veneer, and see what can be done.
Emax Veneers Vs Zirconia Veneers?
emax vs zirconia veneers
Jul 25, 2012
In my opinion go with the Emax veneers. Both emax and zirconia are very hard substances, but the emax will look more life like than the zirconia. Most zirconia I see looks very opaque and not very life like. You also have to worry about the interface between zirconia and porcelain, that is if they layer other porcelain on the zirconia. Which will last longer is a good question. It really depends on your bite (how your teeth come together). It also depends on how well your oral home care is?…
Do You Recommend Porcelain Veneers For Someone With Periodontal Disease?
Perio in check before veneers!
Jul 11, 2012
This is a tricky question. You must have your periodontal disease under control and be on a lifetime maintenance plan. It also depends how much bone loss you have had already? However, if you have Minimal boneloss veneers could be a great option. Furthermore, if your condition is not stable, then I would wait until your condition is stable , and you are able to maintain it with the help of your oral healthcare professional.
