I’m disappointed with my smile, but my dentist said I can’t get porcelain veneers because I grind my teeth. Is there anything else I can do to improve my smile? I have a gap between my teeth and they are quite discolored.<\/p>\n

Dear Mandy,<\/p>\n

I think your dentist may be a little confused. If the only issue is that you grind your teeth, there is a way for you to get porcelain veneers<\/a>. It’s possible that he’s not comfortable doing smile makeovers and rather than admit that he’s trying to discourage you from moving forward with that. Don’t pressure him. You will not be happy with the results.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I’d recommend. The first thing I want you to do is to get a second opinion. But, make sure you do it with a dentist who’s accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry<\/a> (AACD). These are the top cosmetic dentists in the country.<\/p>\n

In all honesty, in order to get the gorgeous smile you’re hoping for that’s the type of dentist you’d want to do your veneers anyway.<\/p>\n

If Porcelain Veneers Aren’t an Option<\/h2>\n

There are some cases, where other work has to be done before you can get porcelain veneers, such as when you have gum disease. In other cases, they’re good candidates, but this type of makeover is just over their budget. That doesn’t mean you can’t get an upgraded smile. Here are some great, affordable options:<\/p>\n
