Adult with baby teeth & botched bonding as child; Cosmetic dentistry options? (Photo)

February 21, 2015
Asked By:GreenPlastic in Boston, MA

I never developed lateral incisors and I still have baby teeth. As a poverty-stricken adolescent, a compassionate dentist bonded my lateral incisors pro-bono. The bonds are bulky, warn & yellow. As an adult and also a nursing student I am still financially restricted. I am embarrassed to smile. Nurses are supposed to smile. :( I am concerned about my upper teeth. I don't want braces nor implants. Nor can I afford a full set of veneers. Options & price? Feeling hopeless...
