My 19-year old daughter doesn't have enamel on her upper front teeth. Her dentist advised that we pursue procelain veneers at $1200 per tooth. My job was downsized in March, and as an older job candidate, and because of the current economy, it's unlikely I'll return to my former income. My husband, who works in the financial district, has experienced a $20,000 loss of income due to loss of overtime pay. We have borrowed money so that our daughter can attend a private research university, and, to shorten this, we just can't pay. What are our options? Thanks

We can always shorten we can never lengthen so be sure you want them shorter. I like a longer veneer personally so ask around to your family and friends and see what they think of your teeth. Dont ask them about your two teeth, just ask them about your smile.
First, make sure you are seeing an experienced cosmetic dentist. We work with master ceramists who are able to make porcelain look very bright yet also very natural. Some people say to match the whites of your eyes. I work out the shade in the temporaries. I will use...
Gaps that form may indicate gum disease or bite issues that may not have been noticed initially. If your dentist says that you have healthy gums and the bite is not an issue, a simple orthodontic appliance may do the trick.
