QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Should I Replace my Veneers? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

I agree with you on how only upper six teeth shows when you smile. This is because of arch being narrow and the veneers were only done for six teeth. This will remain a problem even after you get them redone unless you add one or better yet, two teeth on each side (total of eight or ten). It is hard to comment on the current veneers without seeing how your teeth looked before they were done, what kind of material was used and how the preparation of the teeth was done to achieve these results. Hope you find these points useful if you consider getting them retreated.

Is my Gap Too Big to Be Bonded Together? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Due to misalignment of your teeth, bonding will not give you good aesthetic results unless you get more teeth done, which will not be conservative approach. Orthodontics, possible Invisalign will be the best choice.

I Really Don't Want Braces. How Can I Close a Gap Between my Two Front Teeth Without Braces? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Thanks for the photo. The gap you have is very small, but I can imagine how bothersome this could be. I see that you do not want braces, but Orthodontic treatment is your best bet. Are you open to Invisalign (clear removable aligners)? Invisalign can fix this fairly quick. With good retention program-post treatment, you can have and reatin this closed without any trouble.

Non-orthodontic options can be bondings or veneers, you want to consult good cosmetic dentist in your area if you are leaning towards those options.

Is Dental Bonding Right for Me? Is my Gap Too Big to Make the Bonding Look Natural? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

You are right, gap between your front two teeth is too large for the bonding to look natural. Bonding will make your teeth appear more `wider' then `longer' -quite opposite to what you want to see. 

Pictures you have posted do not show full arch, (Invisalign-not sure if it will work) or braces will be the best choice to close these gaps. I suggest you work with a cosmetic dentist who can also work with a good orthodontist to make this work.

Braces all the way- go with your first option. Get your deep bite corrected and arches widened prior to any cosmetic treatment. Good Luck!

Zirconia Vs Empress Vs Crowns Emax, What's Best? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Wow, I can imagine how frustrating this could be, to get esthetic treatment done oversees.

Zirconia is strongest but lacks translucency, and hence difficult to match with natural teeth.
Best material choice is Feldspathic Porcelain or Empress, which can almost `disappear’ if made well by good ceramist.

Emax is another good option, and is stronger than the others and matches very well.
Good Luck!

I Have Two Small Teeth, Right Next to my Two Front (My Lateral Incisor) How Can I Fix This? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Thanks for providing photos. You have a couple options to choose from.


The size of gaps between your four front teeth is too large to restore with veneers. You will most likely be looking at oversized teeth if restored without braces. The best option is to get braces or Invisalign treatment to close those gaps prior to any cosmetic treatment for smaller teeth. Once the gaps are closed, then a cosmetic dentist can do the composite build-up/veneers to bring those smaller teeth to the correct size, shape and contours. Composite veneers, if done well; will be the most conservative approach to treat this. 

Another option is to get porcelain veneers for those two side teeth after braces.

Please work with good Cosmetic dentist who will also work with an orthodontist to resolve the problem. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Front Crooked Tooth - What Are my Treatment Options? My Dentist Suggested Invisalign Express (10 Trays). (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Can't see your bottom teeth, assuming they're fairly straight and you're just concerned about your uppers then yes, Invisalign express will work for you. Appliances like Inman aligner will also be a good option if your dentist offers that choice.

Is Shade A1 Going to Be Noticeably White?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Shade A-1 is nice white shade, but more important question here should be that if your other front teeth are close to shade A-1? If you like shade A-1, you should whiten rest of the teeth first to try to get them to A-1. Your new crowns made in shade A-1 will blend in beautifully after teeth whitening and will not be noticeable.
Hope this makes sense. Good Luck!
