ANSWER
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having issues with your veneers. I would recommend getting in touch with a dentist, ASAP. If you do not feel comfortable with your current dentist, then I would recommend finding a new one because it sounds like you are in need of a thorough dental cleaning and exam to make sure that there is not decay building up behind your gum lines. If decay is present, you are at risk of harming your gums, which causes recession of your gum line. I would recommend making an appointment for a dental check up ASAP. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

Veneers can round out your smile and give you a whiter smile. I would recommend researching some before and after photos on RealSelf to find a talented cosmetic dentist that is capable of giving you the results that you are looking for. Don't be afraid to travel to another city or state to achieve your dream smile. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
I would recommend veneers for your front teeth. They would very easily close that gap, but would include some trimming of your current teeth. Often times, patients are apprehensive about having their teeth shaved or prepped, but when you are placing a protective shield, like a veneer or crown over your prepped tooth, you are not necessarily increasing your chances of a cavity or tooth failure. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
Based on the photo, I cannot see a huge difference in the teeth. I would recommend taking some more photos in natural light, so that I may see the difference that you're talking about. Generally speaking, I match veneers and crowns pretty regularly without issues. The dentist that completed the cosmetic work likely used the same material for the crown and veneers. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
First of all, your teeth are not disgusting. They are stained, but I have treated cases much worse than your case. I would recommend doing a little research on RealSelf to find a dentist that has experience treating cases like yours. This best research that you can do is comparing before and after photos from doctors that actually have treated cases like yours. If you just walk into a random dental office, you have no idea of what you are going to get, if you haven't inspected their before and after photos online. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
It's impossible to judge your permanent eMax crowns by looking at your temporary ones. The temps are always made of a much lower quality and usually a lesser shade. Try not to base your opinion of your anticipated veneers on your temporary ones. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
If the wisdom teeth are nowhere near your teeth that are to be veneered, then you are totally fine getting your veneers first. If one or more wisdom teeth is bothering you, then I would get that tooth pulled, so that it doesn't negatively affect my quality of life.I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah ThompsonDreamDentist.com

ANSWER
I would definitely recommend veneers for your case. They would improve your smile immensely. It's unlikely that surgery will help your teeth show more when you talk. I hope this helps. Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
I would have to see you before photos to know if you had a great job or just a decent job, but based on what I see, your veneers are not bad. They don't look too big or fake. I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

ANSWER
Just looking at your photos, I can tell you that cases like yours are common in my practice. Your gap could be closed with 4 veneers, but would I would recommend eight veneers to give you the best outcome. My goal would be to close your gap with veneers, while making sure that the rest of your front teeth are all properly proportional to each other. You want your smile to look natural, not like you have two big fake rabbit teeth in the front.I hope this helps. Contact me if you have further questions.Dr. Sarah Thompson
