I recently had 8 Porcelain Veneers put in and I am over joyed with the results. I am really happy with my new teeth and my new smile. I will be uploading some pictures at a later time, but if anyone has any questions or concerns you can email me. Dr. Tokowitz was fantastic and he made me feel so comfortable during the whole process even when I was doubting my decision in the beginning. But I am so happy with my results as you can probably tell by my photos.

Thank you the pictures, and for your review :). Which teeth did you get covered? Was it all eight on top or split? And why were you trying to fix with the veneers? Like, sizing, shaping, color, crookedness? :) Thanks, again!

I got my 8 on the top. So my two front teeth were included in my 8 veneers. The main reason was shaping and sizing. I grind my teeth a lot and my dentist told me that I needed to immediately do something about it. He actually made me a mouth guard. But it wasn't until a couple weeks later that I asked him about veneers. He had to reconstruct my canine teeth as well because I had ground it down; it was pretty flat. Also, since I had been grinding my teeth they looked a little small. But now I have beautiful veneers and I use my mouth guard at night.

Ah, yes, bruxism!!! That is so great that he made you a mouth guard. We have a lot of people whose veneers got ruined because they grind their teeth. Did the doctor talk to you about that as well?

Yes he did. He basically told me that if I am going to have veneers I need to always wear my mouth guard. Just to make sure I'm keeping my promise of wearing it, I have to see him every three months for a check up. What I love about Dr. Tokowitz is that he is very proud of the smile he had given me and wants to make sure I really take care of it. I think it's great because it really does help me stay on task on caring for my teeth.

What is upkeep on vaneers?

I wear my mouth guard at night because I grind my teeth and I obviously don't want to damage my new teeth. I am also going to see my dentist every 4 months. Just for the first year. He wants to make sure that I am doing everything possible to keep my smile looking great. I also started flossing more regularly once I got the veneers.
