22 Years Old, Gap in Front 2 Teeth

ORIGINAL POST

WORTH IT$602
When I was a kid I had a surgery to cut away excess gum that got in the way of my teeth closing. I then had 3 years of braces, but after having them removed, I still had a small gap. My retainer gave me a lisp that I was bullied for, so I stopped wearing it. Now I am about to graduate college and have my wedding in a few months, and wanted an "adult" smile. I went to Mahtomedi Family Dental, and an hour and $602 later (about 300/tooth) my gap was gone! The color matches perfectly, and it looks natural. He mimicked the shape of my other teeth to make it as realistic as possible. There were some painful parts to the procedure ("sandpaper floss" feels as awful as it sounds), but nothing unbearable. Totally worth it.

He and the assistant were good. The assistant was helpful in giving me context as far as what to expect, and helped me critique the work throughout the process. (You are asked about shape/length/color, and it can be overwhelming and hard to think while its happening.) Welle made sure to match them as well as he could to my other teeth, and used numbing jelly on my gums as soon as I had discomfort. Would recommend.
