Porcelain Veneers

Teeth Whitening

Invisalign

While it is possible to do one veneer, it is very difficult, especially on a front tooth, to achieve realigning or a perfect match. Typically, we recommend doing at least two veneers. We would recommend visiting an accredited&nbsp;cosmetic dentist for a full evaluation and specific recommendations. Depending on the severity of your cross-bite, you may need to either mechanically move the teeth (braces, Invisalign, retainers), or remove tooth structure from the front tooth (using a veneer)&nbsp;to straighten the tooth.&nbsp;

I don't want to invest in braces for my top teeth, because I'm only unsatisfied with one tooth. It underlaps (it's slightly hidden behind my front tooth) and has a minor chip. I'm wondering if it's possible to replace it with a porcelain veneer.

Is it possible to get just a single veneer? How much would that cost?

This is a common concern that we get from many of our patients. Veneers can be successfully used to restore length and lost tooth structure. For maximum aesthetic results, a cosmetic dentist will typically recommend as many teeth as you can see. You could also use a combination of orthodontics and dental bonding to close the gap and restore length, or just orthodontics extrusion to show more of your teeth.&nbsp;

My upper teeth are only visible with great effort. I would like a whiter smile with bigger and more visible teeth. What are my options? Would I be a good candidate for veneers, and if so about how many would I need?

Based on the photos you've posted, it does look like you'll have a few options to choose from based on what fits your budget/goals. Veneers would be&nbsp;a great solution longevity wise, as long as they are well taken care of, they should provide long term results. Bonding would be a more cost-effective option, but over time, bonding can stain, chip and wear.&nbsp;

Any time you add to teeth to close a gap, you risk changing&nbsp;the proportions&nbsp;of tooth heigh-to-width ratio to what is less than aesthetically ideal. However, this can be counterbalanced by adding at least two additional veneers or full facial bondings.

&nbsp;A third option, which is both cost effective and long-lasting would be to mechanically move the teeth (either braces, retainers, or Invisalign).

Late 20s, female. Have lived with this gap all my life; seriously considering getting rid of it now. Cost and longevity/maintenance of the treatment is my foremost concern. Grateful for any advice!

You have a few options that would offer you great results. Either will both solve the alignment of the teeth and discoloration.&nbsp;The first is to move the teeth utilizing Invisalign or Inman aligners - this should be possible in as little as six months. Once you've moved the teeth, you are an ideal candidate for two prep-less veneers. This would allow a cosmetic dentist to place veneers that require removing little or no&nbsp;tooth structure. The second option you have is to skip the orthodontic treatment and opt for two traditional veneers. While this will require removing natural tooth structure, it will allow almost immediate results.

The&nbsp;risk associated with&nbsp;doing two veneers with a cosmetic dentist who is not Accredited, or doesn't have the necessary experience is that it is significantly more difficult to match just two natural teeth (the two front teeth)&nbsp;with porcelain. I&nbsp;recommend asking your dentist for examples of&nbsp;before/afters of similar cases he/she has done. This will help you guarantee the best result for your new smile!

After not wearing my retainers since high school, my lateral incisors have shifted and now flare out. My dentist suggested whitening and veneers for the 2 teeth due to the likely hood that they would shift again over time. Are they too flared for veneers? Even if I did straighten them back, I was considering veneers anyway due to some discoloration in the right tooth. Also, I would prefer not to go orthodontics due to working in a corporate environment. Thoughts?

Often times, a tooth that has experienced traumatic injury loses its vitality and will discolor. Additionally, the tooth can become ankylosed, making it more difficult to move. However, moving the tooth using Invisalign will most likely not cause any issues with that tooth, and even if the tooth is ankylosed, it shouldn’t prevent you from getting great results with your Invisalign.

I have a top front tooth that has been calcified for almost 20 years due to getting hit with a basketball. I have never had any problems with this tooth other than discoloration and my dentists have never mentioned needing a root canal. If I proceed with invisalign am I increasing the risk of needing a root canal on this tooth or worse - possibly losing this tooth? Thank you.

Invisalign and a calcified tooth?

We sell this toothpaste and I use it from time to time. You may experience a bit of whitening, but I wouldn't expect dramatic results. For that, you would need professional teeth whitening. I did not experience sensitivity with Supersmile and I have not heard of anyone else doing so.&nbsp;
Hope this helps!

I want to try Supersmile for <a href="http://www.realself.com/reviews/teeth-whitening">teeth whitening</a>, but worried about sensitivity. Any advice?

The quickest, most dramatic results come from ZOOM! Professional Teeth Whitening. In less than an hour, your teeth can get an average of eight shades whiter. What we have found to be the safest and most effective methods are the dentist supervised in-office light activated peroxide gel or a molded dental take home tray to be used with peroxide prescribed by dentists.
For longest lasting results, it is ZOOM! <a href="/Teeth-whitening/reviews">in-office whitening</a> combined with the take home whitening kit. The effectiveness of the professional in-office system and the professional take home systems in many cases is comparable, it's just that the in-office systems accelerates the process greatly and dramatic effects (in the range of 8 - 12 shades whiter) can be achieved for many people in only an hour or so. You can do the same thing or even get whiter with professional take home trays at home, but it would likely take a couple of weeks or more of use of the trays.

my dentist offer a treatment called zoom. Would you recommend zoom dental whitening or are there better treatments?

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. King at my cosmetic consultation at the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. She discussed various options for improving my smile. I had ZOOM! Whitening done in office, and even got custom trays made so that I could keep whitening at home. It was a great experience and I'm very happy with the results.
