Porcelain Veneers

In the 26 years of doing cosmetic
dentistry, seeing the generations that have come across in my office. Obviously we have treated many patients with
tetracycline staining or antibiotic induced staining. Definitely we can get some reasonably good
results with deep bleaching. There are
now materials that do a very good job. Yet it does not give us the absolute beauty and coverage that we can get
from porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns. So I still for those very dark
cases I still recommend that we look at porcelain coverage.

My teeth have a yellow shade because of a wrong high dose antibiotic treatment I had as a child. I am now 43 and after many years thought I could give myself shiny bright teeth as a present. There is nothing wrong with the shapes of my teeth. The doctor I consulted said whitening would not work for my problem and porcelain would be the answer. Unfortunately I don&#39;t remember what he suggested exactly but he said this porcelain on my front teeth would have to be renewed every 10 years. As the best quality treatment cost around 20,000 USD!!! (I&#39;d try to go with the best) renewing this every 10 years is out of the question. Is it really necessary to renew? How long do <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>porcelain veneers</a> and <a href='/Dental-crown/reviews'>crowns</a> last?

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers and Crowns Last?

So the question is do dental
veneers look fake. Unfortunately there
are too many offices and laboratories that do produce veneers that look
fake…and people are scared about that. But it all depends on the laboratory technician, the ceramist and the
artistry of the doctor and how we prepare and design the case. In our office the main goal is to produce a
smile that looks like you were born with it, you belong to it, it belongs to
you and when you walk into a room all people can see is that you have a
gorgeous smile…not teeth. So they don’t
have to look fake, they’re not suppose to look fake it all depends on whose
doing them and how they’re produced.

Looking for the opposite: a smile that people think is real!

Do Dental Veneers Look Fake?

Ok so the question is, is a single
porcelain veneer possible on a front tooth…and of course it is. Yet it does become more challenging because
we have to match and mirror the tooth next to it. It will depend on the design from the dentist
but also the skill level and artistry of the ceramist. So definitely if your going to try to venture
into doing just one tooth which is the most difficult thing for a dentist to
do. Please make sure that you ask for
pictures, for other cases that have been done and just take a look at
everything. Do your research before you
just try to do one tooth because it would be terrible to end up with a worse
problem than you started with.

I chipped my front upper tooth in and my dentist told me she is going to put on one veneer that will match the other teeth. She told me that nobody will notice it is a veneer. Is that possible? What are the other risks of having just one veneer? In 10 or 15 years, will there still be a match?

Porcelain Veneer for One Front Tooth - Is This Possible?

In 26 years I have definitely
treated a lot of tetracycline cases a lot of tetracycline stained teeth with
porcelain veneers and have ended up with patients that have had life changing
experiences and have said that every penny was worth it.Unfortunately insurance has not been very
much help with us. Tetracycline stain is
not really considered a disease its really more of an aesthetic issue…and
unfortunately there’s not a lot of coverage for that so expect to pay out of
pocket but if its done well its so worth your weight in gold.

I have severe tetracycline staining and in need of about ten to twelve porcelain veneers. Will insurance cover any of this?

Can Insurance Cover Any of the Costs of Porcelain Veneers?

The question is, is their any pain
involved with dental veneers. Like any
procedure certainly there is the possibility of discomfort however porcelain
veneers can be done these days with very minimal discomfort. Many times now we’re able to do minimal or no
preparations to be able to do veneers, saving tooth structure which then of
course causes less pain. So they can be
done with very little comfort these days.

How painful are <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>veneers</a> to have put on? I kind of have a phobia with dentists and any procedure. Also which are better composite or porcelain?

Is There Any Pain Involved with Veneers?

Ok so the question is can
porcelain veneers make my small teeth look bigger…absolutely. Porcelain veneers are a wonderful option for
that because we can change shape, we can change size, we can change contours
and colors and can make smiles appear whiter. Certainly thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the expectations
and make sure that can be matched but definitely porcelain veneers are great
option for that.

What cosmetic dentistry technique is most effective in correcting small teeth?

Can Porcelain Veneers Make Small Teeth Look Larger?

Ok so one of the things that uh we
see in our society today and in doing 26 years of cosmetic dentistry is that everyone
wants a instant result.I’ve had
patients come in with extremely crooked teeth that want veneers or crowns to
straighten them and the reality is that I really, really recommend that they
see the orthodontist to get the teeth straightened. There’s too much of a sacrifice made when
you’re trying to pretend that teeth are straightened that way and they need to
be structurally sound and functionally well positioned so that they will last
you a lifetime. So my recommendation for
very crooked teeth is to see an orthodontist and get them moved.

Is it possible for an adult to correct extremely crooked teeth with veneers, or should they see an orthodontist?

Are Porcelain Veneers Recommended for Really Crooked Teeth?

So the question is do I do dental
veneers or crowns on my two front teeth to repair them. That certainly depends on the severity of any
fractures or if the tooth has had a root canal.If the toot has had a root canal the more indicated treatment would be a
full porcelain crown. That just goes all
the way around…the material is the same and will look just as lifelike and just
as beautiful as these days we don’t have to do those crowns with metals or any
of the darkness therefore it depends on what it is that is needed by the tooth
and that needs to be evaluated by your dentist.

I have two <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>veneers</a> on my two front teeth. I need the veneers replaced. My dentist wants to <a href='/Dental-crown/reviews'>crown</a> one of my teeth as I had a root canal a few years back. The other tooth is perfectly <a href='/Health/info'>healthy</a> but needs a new veneer. My dentist also wants to do a crown on this tooth as he says it will be easier for the dental lab to match two <a href='/Dental-crown/reviews'>crowns</a> than match a crown and a veneer. These are my two very front top teeth. Does this sound right?

Dental Crowns or Veneers for Two Front Teeth?

So the question is can dental
veneers be removed. If they are
porcelain veneers and they have been traditionally prepared that means there
has been some tooth structure removed. Therefore the veneer can be removed with a hand piece but generally will
have to be replaced with another veneer. If they are direct bonded veneers with composite and the tooth has not
been reduced at all….that can be removed and is more reversible than with
porcelain. Overall though I’ve never had in 26 years anybody asked me to take
them off.So if they’re well done and
beautifully shaped and beautifully colored the patients will stay happy.

should <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>veneers</a> not be right, will i be able to have them removed and return to my previous smile?

Can Veneers Be Taken off if I Want Them Removed?

So the question is how do I keep
my dental veneers still looking white. If you still have habits that may stain the veneers like coffee, teas or
smoking then the best thing that you can do is certainly have more frequent
visits to your dentist and your dental hygienist for cleanings and for
polishing. If they are porcelain veneers
the staining should be able to be able to be polished off. If they are direct bonded veneers or a composite
eventually those stains will make there way into the material and they will
have to be replaced more often. So I
know that life is meant to be enjoyed, but sometimes you have to make choices
and you can either choose to change the way the you indulge with things that
stain or just up the maintenance…that’s it.

just spent a bunch on my <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>porcelain veneers</a>, but I still drink coffee and smoke.&nbsp; how can i keep them looking bright white?
