Just had teeth whitening. I love my new white smile. The dentist offered some tips for keeping the teeth white but none seemed that innovative. Anyone who's had laser whitening found something that keeps the teeth looking white for long periods of time. Don't have the money to do this every year!

I had 4 veneers places about 3 weeks ago. I was very satisfied with the color and size/shape after placement. But over the past week I noticed there is a dark spot forming on the corner of one of the veneers that was not present when they were placed. I had not had any trauma to the teeth. Is this a bonding issue? Can it be rectified without replacing the entire veneer? And should my dentist...

I'm 44. Had braces 1983-1985, 4 1st bicuspids were extracted, spaces were closed. I hated recessed mouth. Lost bone in front of bottom teeth over years. Braces again 2005-2013 to reopen 4 extraction sites for implants. All front teeth are tilted out and pulled out of bone a little to make enough space for implants. Now most teeth have receding gums-painful!, bottom teeth are loose, ache, can...

Who is a top cosmetic dentist on LA with an artistic eye and who does natural veneers (not that bright white fake style)? I got 2 veneers done on my leg laterals by one of the top ceramist in the world and he did an awful job. My veneer is sharp and scratches my tongue and both are too long. I'd like to have them shaved down a bit but don't know what doctor can do it well. And my dentist...

THE SUMMARY AND QUESTIONS: I have grayish teeth due to Tetracycline. I need much dental work on my top teeth and will be replacing all my top teeth with crowns.  I like the A1 color but since I am only doing the top teeth I am wondering if this is common to do and if it produces results that look good or if most people that redo their top teeth (especially when there is a color change)...

I made my experiment yesterday but used dried mint rather than sage (sage still too fresh to crumble). Mixed 4 tablespoons of bicarb with a large pinch of dried and pulverised peppermint leaves. Added 2 drops of peppermint oil and 4 drops of tea tree oil (antiseptic). this make mt teeth white .....really.

I'm 27 years old, and I've had a severe grinding issue that is ruining my teeth. Multiple dentists have told me that I need to do something about it to stop the progression, and it would be ideal to do some reconstruction to them for both appearance and health. I've consulted many dentists, and found one I really like, but it would be great to get some additional feedback on the game plan...

I was wondering if I could get advise to cosmetically enhance my “gummy smile” and fix rough edges on teeth. Any suggestions on possible procedures or services to look for when I make an appointment to see a dentist would be appreciated. I would prefer not to get veneers if possible.

I am getting plastic surgery in D.R.(hopefully by august) and I would like some things done to my teeth. While I'm fixing my body I might as well get it all taken care of right lol. Can someone suggest a good one. I keep trying to find info on the site but not coming up with anything

The number of teeth whitener options overwhelms me. How is someone supposed to make heads-or-tails about these alternatives without spending a week researching them?

I've always hated my peg lateral teeth and have been considering correcting it with Cosmetic Dentistry for years. I would like to know what you guys think I should do. Is the issue small enough for Bonding or do I need veneers? My two front teeth aren't perfect but I'm ok with that. It's really the pegs that bother me and make me self conscious. Any ideas on price? Experience, advice......

Is it the apt clinic for my kid? Kindly post your suggestions.

Looking to get some dental work done in either Costa Rica or Dominican republic. I broke one of my front tooth as a kid really bad to the nerve and when I got it fixed it seemed like they did a horrible job. My smile is something I don't like and want to fix it to give me more confidence. As we all know dental work in the US is very very high, so my question is does anyone have any experience...
