• Do I Really Need Three Procedures for a Smile Makeover?

  I hope to get a smile makeover. I thought it would just mean porcelain veneers. I have stained teeth and my two front teeth are a bit crooked. However, my dentist is suggesting that I get three procedures. First, Invisalign to straighten the crooked teeth, then, teeth whitening. Finally Lumineers, which he said are better…

• Lumineers or Orthodontics?

  My nephew is graduating and I promised to get him orthodontics as a gift. His parents are struggling and I know his teeth bother him.

• Invisalign or porcelain veneers

  I wanted to get Lumineers. I have a tooth which is a little crooked. Not enough for full orthodontic treatment. That’s why I was hoping to do Lumineers because I was told they could just go on top of my teeth. My dentist said I could do them, but would need Invisalign first for the…

• lumineers trouble

  I had Lumineers placed on both my top and bottom teeth. The top ones did absolutely fine. It’s the bottom ones I am having trouble with. They’re in massive pain and I’ve already lost one tooth when a root canal didn’t help. My dentist is going to put on a bridge free of charge. He…

• My Sister's Porcelain Veneers Disaster

  My sister and I are in constant competition with one another, even when I don’t want to be. I told her I was planning on getting a smile makeover next year. I’m guessing she felt she needed to beat me to it because three months later she called to tell me she just had Lumineers…

• What's the Difference Between a Cosmetic Dentist and a General Dentist?
