• Dentist Told Me Not to do Zoom Whitening

  I have four dental crowns on my front teeth which really need to be replaced. They were never as white as I wanted and I’d like to whiten my teeth and get new crowns to match them. I’d talked to my dentist about doing zoom whitening and he said if I did that my teeth…

• My Dentist Said I Can't Get White Crowns

  Years ago, I got ten dental crowns on my upper teeth for a smile makeover that need to be replaced. When I first got my smile makeover,  originally,  they’d talked me into a color that was darker than what I originally wanted. They said this was because it needed to look natural. I’ve always regretted…

• CEREC Crown on a Front Tooth

  I needed a dental crown on a front tooth. My dentist recently got this new CEREC machine and told me that it would give me the crown in just one appointment. We were close to the holidays so I thought that would be a good idea. It was going okay until the next day. I…

• Dealing with Tetracycline Stains

  I am almost 45 and have severe tetracycline stains. I’d really like to improve my smile so I won’t feel embarrassed to smile. However, I’ve been to three dentists and they all want to give me a mouth full of dental crowns. My teeth are very healthy so I hate the idea of grinding them…

• My Crowns Hurt

  I had some dental bonding done years ago on my two front teeth because of an accident. Now, about ten years later the bonding is looking pretty rough so I decided to bite the bullet and get the work redone. My dentist thought doing crowns would be better and did four of them so that…

• Dental Bonding for Children

  My eleven-year-old broke her two front teeth quite badly. Most of the structure is gone. She only has the top and sides left. Everything else is gone. We went to our pediatric dentist and he suggested removing the teeth. I wasn’t keen on that idea so I took her to my dentist. He said that…

• Should She Finish This Smile REconstruction?

  I have worn teeth because of teeth grinding. I didn’t realize I was doing it and my last dentist never mentioned it. However, when I moved I switched dentists because of the location and this dentist pointed out a whole bunch of things I didn’t know about. The grinding makes sense and does explain why…

• Cavity On A Porcelain Veneer Tooth

  I have porcelain veneers on four teeth. One of them now has a cavity and my dentist wants to remove the porcelain veneer and replace it with a dental crown. Is that absolutely necessary? Dana Dear Dana, I am going to recommend you get a second opinion on this for a few reasons. First, in…

• My New Teeth Keep Popping Off

  For our anniversary, my husband told me I could get a smile makeover. I’ve dreamt of one for several years. My teeth are chipped here and there, stained, and I have a few that are shorter than the others because of teeth grinding. My dentist ground my natural teeth down to tiny yellow nubs and…

• Problem with CEREC Crown

  I went to my dentist because of pain with pressure and sensitivity to hot and cold. My dentist suggested a crown and we decided on a CEREC crown for the first time on a back tooth. I’d had other crowns before so I wasn’t new to the gig. I like how fast it went and…
