An accident. a quick fix. bad upper front partial. Years later, I'm really NEEDING to do something to fix my smile. Found a dentist. Didn't run this time even tho he bade me feel bad. Diagnoses. Remove bad partial, fillings and a front bridge. I'm check to check w/kids but left my place to move with family to afford the procedures. 1st phase, front 6. Didn't see prior to glue. I'm very disappointed. It looks like clip on teeth. Horse like. Chicklets even. You can see the top of front 2 teeth.

Answer: Porcelain Veneers Correct me if I am wrong, it appears that you have lost the 2 front teeth in an accident, and there is a splinted, fixed bridge (not veneers). Along with the loss of the front teeth you have also lost bone, and the surrounding gum (pink)---The tissue is the issue---Think of the pink as a picture frame for the tooth; you have to have the right frame to fit the picture. Your tooth proportions (height x width) appear to be TOO long. Options to correct:1. Crown lengthen the adjacent teeth to make them longer.2. Build up the pink; soft tissue/gum graft to bulk up the gum.As with all information, ask your dental specialist. Hope that helps!

Answer: Unnatural looking teeth I am so sorry that you have had to deal with this. I haven't seen for an exam, nor have I seen your X-rays, but from the photo, your teeth look very unnatural. Your gum tissues are very inflamed, and I believe that no matter how good of a cleaning you get, it will continue to be inflamed because it seems as though the restorations are impinging on biological width. These need to be removed asap, you need to have temporaries placed that will fit nicely, and not be so bulky and square. These restorations are also very opaque. To make porcelain look natural, it needs to be built from the inside out from a very experience lab technician, and this procedure needs to be done by a dentist that has a lot of experience in cosmetics. You should always be able to see your restorations before final cementation of the teeth. Additionally, I think you need to have an evaluation by a periodontist, a GOOD periodontist. You need to do a lot of research on who you go to see and have work done with, especially reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry. If you are missing teeth, implants might be a good option for you (Consult with a periodontist). Before your gum tissues get worse and cause bone loss, please have these removed.
