I am looking for a family dental plan (paying on my own, not thru work). Does anybody know of a good inexpensive family dental plan in California?
thank you!
Which one would be better and why?
I am in need of some serious teeth whitening, but do’t have the money to go get it done professionally. Any recommendations for some really good at home teeth whitening systems? Thank you.
I’ve been give an estimate of 4 for post and core and about ,280 for the porcelain crown on tooth #32: is that a "normal" price?
There are whitening strips, toothpastes, lighting kits, etc. There are so many out there. Does anyone know of some that actually work that "YOU" have used. my teeth are not "that" yellow, I just want them whiter looking, so i dont really need something that powerful, But whatever products you all have tried, please tell me if they worked or not. I dont want to waste a lot of money! Thanks
Please tell me your veneer experiences. Do you have trouble with them coming off, if you could do it again, would you?
Thanks.
I need a good reasonably cheap but not too cheap to be ruining me my teeth.. Home teeth whitening kit…
Alright I know this might seem a little stupid, but I recently had 6 veneers put on and 2 crowns put on the pre-molars to bulk them up. It has been a long process with alveoloplasty and gingevectomy and temporaries and sending my permanent veneers back to be changed in size/shape and finally my dentist had 4 on and the front 4 weren’t perfect so she sent them back one more time to bulk them up a little. Well unfortunately once they were on everyone came in the room "oohing" and "ahhing" my teeth and I just wasn’t as pleased as everyone else was but felt bad being so nit-picky so she went along and cemented them on.
My dentist told me if there was anything I wanted to change after they were on to let her know and we would fix that because it’s my smile and my decision. However, I feel bad because I don’t know what I want changed. I guess they’re just too small in my mind and although it’s "healthy" to see gum when you smile, I don’t want to see any. I know some people smile without gums and I’d prefer mine to be that way. She told me because of my mouth and what not it’d be kind of hard but I just want to see what options I have I guess. I thoght maybe if they were bulkier on top and wider that maybe gum in between wouldn’t show, but I also know that the gum from in between has to go somewhere so I figured that wasn’t an option.
All in all, I guess I’m kind of confused at what to do. I feel bad going back because this has been such a long process, but it was 00 dollars and I just want to make sure everything is right. The 00 doesn’t include the one free one I had because she offers the 8th one free, so technically it was 00. I just want this done right and to look perfect.
Advice? Here are some pictures:
I do like the shape and how square they are. There is an image floating around the web with teeth shapes and I definitely wanted the Aggressive look and I think we got that. I just don’t know what to do about the size and the gum issue.
