Just finished my ortho treatment and am needing to repair the top two front chipped teeth that happened when I was a child. Due to finances I can only do 4 at this time and I really don’t mind because I do like my natural teeth! Thoughts?
Gums are a bit swollen due to tissue build up from the large pre ortho spaces. But will also be getting a gingivectomy.
most people i read here regret it because it is lifetime maintenance. That is true but my experience is they last long if properly made. I have them for sround 10 years and no problem so far. And if some will get chipped after 10 years its not do big of a problem.
Why i regret is that no matter how good they look u still know they are fake. I cant explain but like everytime i smile i am anxious they will see my fake teeth and judge me for it. And im pretty sure they see they are fake even tho i have natural color (not toilet white) and not too long.
The other thing is the anxiousness of finding someone u can trust. There are tons of dental tourism lately and they force good marketing but u never know what exactly will u get at the end. So honestly i wish i wouldnt do it even tho it doesnt look too bad.
So please do:
- braces or invisalign and whitening
- get removable composite resin to see if u would really like it
- only after that if u really need to do it then maybe get some (honestly i wouldnt but i understand there are few cases where its actually good).
And please if u do it dont do it in dental tourism places.
I hateee my teeth and it's so embarrassing to smile so please help me decide what I should go for.
I’ve really wanted perfect teeth my whole life. I fell when I was a toddler and caused my permanent teeth to shift forward and come in on top of other permanent teeth. I had braces and have 2 dental implants. Despite all the work that’s been done, I have two sets of canines and the implants were done 20+ years ago and could be better. Additionally I had to have my wisdoms teeth out before the implants, and because I had to remove my retainer my front teeth shifted. It caused the gap and slight misalignment. And lastly because of the trauma & braces, I don’t have strong roots on my front 4 teeth, they are only about 1/2 as long as I guess what is ideal.
My spouse has finally agreed to the cost of getting veneers so I’m exploring options and found this thread. I also apparently need to track down the dentist that did my implants 20+ years ago, which is slow rolling my decision.
For context I (29f) had braces (21-22) to correct my teeth and they were perfectly aligned for a few years. However they started to slowly shift in the last few months/years even tho I wear my retainer every night.
I have brown hair with a slight reddish pigment which is why my teeth arent white unless I whiten them at home and then they stay white for a month or two. Tho my teeth became more sensitive with whitening so Im not too eager to do it as often.
I always dreamt of having perfect teeth. Should I go for veneers?
My pros are that everyone that I know that had had veneers say its the best thing theyve done and I would have a perfect smile
My cons are that my teeth are not that bad to begin with and Im scared of not being able to eat however and whatever and veneer breath
The last pic are the teeth/dentist I would go for
I work with international patients who are considering dental treatment in Istanbul, and I keep seeing the same mistakes before people choose a clinic.
Before paying any deposit, ask for:
A written preliminary treatment plan
The dentist’s name and specialty
Whether the proposed “veneers” are actually veneers or crowns
The implant brand, if implants are involved
The number of visits and required stay in Istanbul
What happens if the treatment plan changes after examination
Written information about aftercare, revisions and guarantees
Photos alone cannot confirm a final diagnosis. A panoramic X-ray and an in-person examination may change the plan.
I’m happy to answer general questions about how dental treatment in Istanbul usually works. I’m connected with a clinic partner, so please consider that a disclosure rather than a neutral clinic review.
22M in the UK. Had a clean and polish and checkup a couple of weeks ago, I discussed I wanted whitening, they mentioned veneers. I looked into it, it’s really expensive but I do think I want them. The dentist originally spoke about Invisalign being able to close up the gaps, however in my next consultation they said I’d need both Invisalign and the top 6 teeth veneers. I would only go porcelain and not composite. Could you give me an honest opinion whether it’s a good idea please?
Thanks in advance
I was self conscious about my teeth before I got them (horrible tmj grinder) but I’m mixed on results. Love them sometimes and other times don’t know. Might just be getting used to it
I had my veneers placed on Monday, and unfortunately one of them appears to have been cemented incorrectly. It seems too large for the space, and on the back side there is a noticeable ledge between my prepared tooth and the veneer, which is creating a food trap. It’s cosmetically and structurally problematic and ugly.
I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for this Thursday. My question is: in situations like this, is it typical for the dentist to replace or remake the veneer at no additional cost if it was improperly fitted or seated?
Hello! Had my final veneers placed on my top 10 last Monday and this bite seems a bit forward to me. All teeth touch except my four front. Is this due to bulkiness? Underprepping? Is this a normal bite? Can this be fixed? If so, can this be chalked up to a lab/office error that typically does not incur an extra charge for replacement?
In the first photo I am clenching all the way down but there is a massive gap. I have a follow up appointment this Thursday due to an incorrect placement on one of my front teeth causing marginal issue and foot trapping between my veneer and prepped tooth, which will most likely need to be replaced completely. Do I bring this concern up as well?
Hello! I had my final veneers placed last Monday, and noticed these small scuff looking marks on most of my veneers. What is this? Is this a lab error? Could this have been done during placement? I can’t find anyone online who has had this experience..
