Quick service and haven't had to get the tooth re-done yet. He really knew what he was doing and advised me of the best options for my chipped tooth. We decided to go for the bonding-- the color matched my original tooth perfectly and I have had no complaints. The doctors were able to get me in quickly which I appreciated.
This is a dental practice that does top quality work, honest, caring, and always puts the patient's needs first. Before coming here I have had a long history of horrible dental experiences, since using this dentist, I have had great work performed and always left very happy. It's very rare in today's world that you can find a dental professional who treats you with such care and quality as you have here.
Compassionate and gentle. Not the long wait I've had at other dentists / doctors. Always keeps me aware of what is coming next. Does their best to manage pain and make me comfortable. .
Dr. Bruckel installed a couple of crowns over the passed few years. They fit so well and are color matched so well that I can't tell that I have them. He has taken care of me & my family for about 25 years. His chairside manner is professional and friendly. The same can be said for his assistants. The office is up to date and immaculate. We would never consider using another dentist.
Dr. Bruckel has done a lot of dental work on me (crowns, fillings, extractions, dentures) and I have been extremely pleased with his work. Not only is his work excellent but the treatment of his patients is excellent, as well. He is very considerate of the patient and makes sure the patient is comfortable while he performs whatever work is necessary. I recommend Dr. Bruckel highly and would not go to anyone else.
I have been a patient of Dr. Bruckel all of my life, over 30 years, along with my family. I was informed by Dr. Bruckel about porcelain veneers for cosmetic purposes. I had questions, and Dr. Bruckel took the time to answer them all, casually sitting in his personal office. It was very clear that Dr. Bruckel was a true Dental professional who keeps current with the latest procedures and practices. He really focuses on making it as painless and comfortable a procedure as possible. He offers several types of pain relief by needle or inhaler. The office is clean and modern and the staff is friendly and knowlegeable. I elected to have the veneers done, and over 10 years later, they are still looking perfect. Dr. Bruckel is always there to shine them up when needed. Dr. Bruckel and staff truly offer a good dental experience for all ages.
The gums might be able to be re contoured to expose more of the teeth. See a cosmetic dentist or periodontist.
First you would need a thorough cleaning and possibly other periodontal (gums) treatment. Then you may need orthodontics (braces).
There really should not be a problem getting the same shade. Have the dentist enclose a photo in addition to an excellent impression when he sends the case to the lab. If the lab is close by, it would greatly help if the tech can personally see your smile. Good luck.
Unless your dentist is making "no prep" veneers (which does not sound like this is the case due to your sensitivity), he should have made some temporary veneers for you both for comfort and aesthetics.
The least invasive would be to have orthodonitcs done. Otherwise you are talking about reshaping the teeth and bonding, which is more aggressive,
