Bruxism / slight overbite. Could porcelain veneers fix my smile?
Porcelain Veneers Or Crowns
Nov 24, 2014
Para-functional habits such as Bruxism, Clenching can have a negative effect on veneers over time, same reason you chipped your original teeth you can fail your veneers. A well studied bite by your dentist is crucial for the success of your treatment, and I would go with full cover porcelain crowns instead of veneers, cosmetically you can not tell the difference, ” yes I understand that you will have to remove more tooth structure” but it will have better longevity and success ,…
How could I fix the scratch on my front tooth?
Scratched tooth.
Nov 24, 2014
1)Will it repair over time ?By itself, No.. but it depends on how deep the scratch is, if not to deep ( which it seems to be from your comment “not that visible” it can easily be bonded by a tooth colored bonding material (filling),2) Will other people judge you for it?It depends on how visible it is and if you are in a job/profession that requires your smile to be perfect…May be.. More important is, are you OK with it ?3) How to fix it?I think I already answered that .. but I recommend…
12 year old broke off almost half of permanent front tooth. What is the best option for treatment sin
Broken tooth.
Aug 27, 2014
Hi,The dentist can perform a vitality test.. (preferably after a week or two since at the beginning the tooth is usually tender and hyperactive and that can give faulty result).. after the vitality test if the tooth is tested vital (normal) then I would suggest bonding the tooth until the child is older (around age 18) then a permanent crown can be placed. If the tooth tested non vital (sometimes discoloration can take time to show and tooth can gradually become necrotic “die” . Then a root…
What should I do? Braces or veneers?
Braces or Veneers
May 18, 2014
It is hard to decide without looking at the pictures.. But generally speaking if you like the (size), the (shape) and the ( color) of your original teeth but the problem is spaces or crowding then I would choose Braces. but if the size, shape, color is not what you like then even if they are straight, you wouldn’t like them. Again this is generally speaking, we need pictures to see your profile , the way your jaws are coming together, how much gums you show when you smile. your…
I have gum disease. Every tooth is affected. Should I try to save them or remove all teeth?
Periodontal Disease
Apr 26, 2014
This is a very common question especially now with the high success of dental implants.. This is a decision should be recommended by your dentist to evaluate the success of maintaining your condition between regular cleaning visit and good home care. If they are non savable with more than 50 % bone loss and sever mobility then removing them and implant supported prostheses might be a better long term option. This is only generally speaking since I don’t have enough information to make that…
After Porcelain Veneers (010), my teeth are too white and unnatural looking. What can or should I do?
White Veneers
Apr 26, 2014
Sorry to hear about your veneers. Normally we let the patient decide the color since they are the ones who are going to live with it, and we make sure they are no less that 100 % happy with the color “before” cementing the veneers or crowns, by using Veneer Try In Paste, to mimic the results prior to permanently cement them. Unfortunately the only solution you have is to change them to the color you like and make sure to see them in different lights ( sun light and indoor ) prior to have…
Can veneers be bonded back if they come off?
Veneers
Apr 9, 2014
Veneers can come off for multiple reasons such as inadequate calculation of the the bite, when patients have clenching/ grinding habits , that can loosen the bonding over time although four months seem to bee too short to cause that , or an outside trauma such as in your case (the spoon).. The fact that you don’t remember of they were moving before most likely they weren’t. If you feel that they move when you bite I recommend that you call your dentist and have them checked, I wouldn’t…
