Hello,
Since braces and jaw surgery is not an option for you, I would recommend a combination of veneers and crowns. Depending on the area of the mouth and the situation of each tooth, i would then plan the proper restoration whether it be a crown or a veneer to achieve the best possible outcome for your smile. Sometimes to be able to fix a cross bite a dentist would need to put a crown on a tooth instead of a veneer. You should interview a dentist you like and take a look at his/her work and have an in depth conversation about being able to correct the smile and cross bite, taking into consideration the overall bite, which is very important to keep in mind.

I was told that I have a minor cross bit and that i order to get my teeth straighten I would have to get jaw surgery and braces I’m 27 years old and I don’t want to go the braces route and especially not wanting to go through jaw surgery . I was wondering if there are other options for me or will I just have to live with my crooked smile ?

Hello,
 
If the lab is making temps for you based on the wax up that was previously done, then the temporaries should be ready on the same day you prep your teeth. Therefore, technically there is no need to wait any longer than it would take the lab to make your permanent veneers which could be one to two weeks. You can do it the way your dentist is suggesting but it just takes longer. The way your dentist is suggesting is not incorrect. Every dentist has their own way and there own techniques that work best for them. Your teeth will be fine either way especially if there minimally preped.

I’m receiving porcelain veneers, but I’ve already got nice teeth. With that being said, my dentist has asked me to come in to have my teeth prepped for the temporaries, but the lab won’t have the wax up/temporaries ready for at least a week. I’m concerned about having prepped teeth for so long, but she said it’s fine since it will be minimal prep and that they need to be prepped to create the mold for the wax up. Can someone help me out with some reassurance or tips etc?

Time between prepping and temporary veneers?

Hello,
I'm not sure how or why your dentist was ok with cementing that crown that is a different color, shape and size from your natural teeth. Anytime a crown is made it should blend with your other teeth, not stand out. I would recommend seeing another dentist who can correct the crown that was just placed on your tooth. Depending on where you live and the experience of the doctor and lab technician the cost of the crowns can range from $500-$2,000.

44 years old broke my front tooth at 10.&nbsp;Would like to know what options are available to correct what my dentist did and what would be the cost

Front tooth was fixed with a cap thats larger than the rest of my teeth different color, what are my options to fix it? (photo)

Hi there,
There seems to be a leakage of saliva, and bacteria under the temporary crowns. This can cause staining under the temp crowns. The stain can be removed and I would recement the temp crowns with temp cement. I would get the permanent crowns placed as soon as you can.

I am having crowns placed and 2 weeks ago they placed the temporary ones. After 2 days they started turning black. They replaced the temporary crowns today after polishing and using bleaching trays to remove it. What is the cause of this and how can I prevent it from happening again and will this affect the placement of the permanent ones in one week?

Hello,
As far as the color of your crowns, in different light they can look different. With different cameras they look different dependent on the camera and the flash. The firs picture you sent , the crowns look&nbsp; a little gray, in the third picture they all look a little more yellow than the first picture. The goal is to have them blend in with the color of your natural teeth. As a cosmetic dentist , yes I can see a tinge of gray but it's not that bad and i'm sure it's not that noticeable to other people. Colors are very important to pick and it's the ability of the lab technician and the doctor to match the color of all the teeth. If you're not 100% happy I would recommend being in the same room as the technician and explaining what you want with him and the doctor.&nbsp;
Best of Luck,
Dr. Glosman

I feel like my crowns have a grey shading indoors. I haven’t gotten them permanently cemented. Is there anything I can do?

It seems that you are doing all the right things as far as your gum and bone health. When the roots are exposed due to recession there is always the chance of sensitivity to the teeth. Based on the information you gave and your photos, the most conservative treatment that would cover the root surfaces, close the gaps and really transform your smile into a beautiful, clean, white smile would be porcelain veneers. I would recommend a night gaurd be made after the veneers were put on as well.

Gum recession over the past 6-8 years. Perios said I had small perio issue, did a deep clean and gave me chlorohexidrine. Only 1-3s (had a 5 recently, but resolved) pockets on all teeth, improved dental hygeine, but still 3mm-5mm recession all over mouth. Diffuse pain, so use a special mouthguard fitted by uni specialist. Quarterly cleanings. How to fix? Gaps are distracting, bit of pain on a regular basis, and hey look pretty horrible, especially compared to a picture I took in 2010. Veneers?

Gum recession mild until 2010 - what can be done? Veneers?

Hello,
For a complete and comprehensive smile that achieves a straighter, whiter and broader smile veneers are definitely the way to go. It will take two visits and and you can achieve all your goals with very minimal reshaping of your natural tooth structure. If you have the time and are not in a rush braces are a good option and then you can whiten your teeth afterwards. As far as the jawline i feel the best way to redefine it is with a mini facelift that will pull the skin tighter around the jawline and possible lipo in the same area. i'm not a plastic surgeon but I do work together with many of them and have seen the wonders they can perform in conjunction&nbsp;with the dentist&nbsp;doing porcelain veneers.&nbsp; 
 
Best of luck,
Dr. Glosman

I feel like my teeth are set high and in attached photos I'm smiling as wide as I can but you can only see the bottom half of my front teeth. I'm considering braces but also want the appearance of a wider smile so may skip to veneers? I don't know if either can lower my teeth? I feel it's more aesthetically pleasing for a little of my top gums to be visible when I smile. Also, I'm not overweight and have this awful jawline. How can I make it look stronger and defined?

The best way to make your teeth look exactly the way you want them to is with porcelain veneers. This will help get the midline closer to the middle , it will make your teeth straighter, less pointy and whiter. It will make your smile more balanced, symmetrical and enhance your natural smile. Best of luck.

I have been wearing braces for about two years and that's the best they could move. I was intormed to get them in the middle i need to extract a tooth as i have a small mouth, but it wasn't convenient as I already have missing teeth and a back tooth that need an implant. My question is how can i make them look more in the middle and fix pointy teeth?

What do I need to do to get a better smile? (Photo)

Hello,
 
Based on the photos, I would first recommend braces to move the teeth more in line with each other. However this treatment can take 1-1.5 years. It's a slow process. A quicker process would be to get at least 6-8 veneers. The reason I would suggest this many is that your teeth are crowded and there is not enough room for all of them. In order to make your teeth look more balanced and symmetrical you need to adjust the shape and size of&nbsp;more of the teeth so that all the teeth are proportional and balanced. The Veneers will make your teeth straighter, whiter, and it can be done in two visits. Best of luck.

Considering my age to 22, I want the best soultion for me to get my overlapping upper teeh fixed. Please suggest some procedure which will be least complicated (no surgeries) and if possible, be least painfull also. Thank you!

What is best and least complicated method for me to get my overlapping front teeth fixed, fairly quickly? (Photos)

Hi there,
 
Based on the picture you sent , it looks to me that the teeth on the&nbsp;right side of your mouth is shorter than the left side. I always look at the facial shape, skin color, lips, eyes and hair and develop a custom smile for each individual person that fit them specifically. Your teeth can be easily lengthened with porcelain veneers. These veneers can lengthen your teeth, make them straighter and whiter than your existing teeth with very minimal reshaping of your natural tooth. I hope this helps, the solution is easy and you don't have to have surgery.
 
Best.
Dr. Glosman&nbsp;

I know that there are ways to get rid of your gums but that is not my problem. My teeth are just to short and they are not in line with eachother. teeth are short and it is effecting the way my smile looks. Not a problem with my gums but with the length of my teeth. One thing I do not want to do with my teeth is surgery or having to take out my teeth and replace them that is something I do not want to do.

My teeth are too short for my mouth and it is not a problem with my gums, what are my options? (Photos)
