Wait two months for complete healing of the gums. It is normal to have a less than perfect gumline after this procedure. The goal was to rid the tooth of it's infection to save it. Cosmetic periodontal and restortive work can be used to correct the defects to your liking after the healing period is over.
Dentist
Simple: Do a bonded tooth pontic. Notch the adjacent teeth and place a small piece of paperclip gauge wire, bonded into the notches with flowable composite resin. Then bond a hand-sculpted tooth with TPH resin in a shade to match. When he is finished with braces, then go for the implant and use the method above as a temporary crown while the implant is healing.
Dentist
Two visits with three weeks in between the visits. Each visit is one to two hours. Make darn sure you are a candidate for Lumineers as they suck.
Dentist
$900 to $1400. You better make damn sure you are a candidte for them. Most patients are not!!!!!!!!!!
Dentist
Yes, only if you have fairly light teeth with a touch of yellow (no gray or brown) and you have spaces between your teeth. They will not need to be bleached as they are porcelain.
I still would go for Empress, traditional prepped veneers. Lumineers have many problems.
Dentist
Bad choice! You would be more likely to get cavities with Lumineers as they are bulky and trap food in places you dont want to!
Dentist
No way Jose! The lumineers whill, chip, stain, crack and trap food at the gum line. Get Empress crowns or veneers and a night guard.
Dentist
That's cause they stink! They are too thin, too clear and too bulky. You need todo Empress traditional prepped veneers like I have in my own mouth.
Dentist
It all depends on your situationi. I feel it is always better to do orthodontics first for a young patient before touching a tooth with a drill.
