Porcelain veneers or other tooth replacements?

Porcelain veneers or other tooth replacements?
No!! It sounds like you need braces and then once your bite is corrected, if you still don't like the looks of your teeth then you can get veneers. You don't actually pull teeth to do veneers. Think of them kind of like fake fingernails. They file your natural teeth down with the drill,(you are numb of course), and they cement the veneers right on top of whats left of your natural teeth. The veneers are made of porcelain and most of the time look BEAUTIFUL. If you need to have the teeth pulled then you would have to get dental implants. That's where they actually put a post in your gums and bone and then they put a fake tooth(crown) over that. Hope I helped!
Reply:You need braces. Implants would cost just as much, but could/would likely give you problems the rest of your life compared to the results with braces. I had them too. I would recommend them above all other options for that kind of thing. Take care.

Porcelain Veneers??? Are they any good? What problems have any of you experienced once applied?

Am considering veneers for my lower front teeth. Tell me your experiences please.

Porcelain Veneers??? Are they any good? What problems have any of you experienced once applied?
I have two on my two upper front teeth. No one would know that they're there unless I show them. I've had no trouble with them, and I've had them since high school. They still look great.

How much will it cost to get six porcelain dental veneers?

I live in Dallas Texas. I would like to know how much is the average cost to get six porcelain dental veneers?

How much will it cost to get six porcelain dental veneers?
It depends on where you are and the dentist's general perception of fees. You can expect porcelain veneers to cost from about $700-to-$1,000 each in most offices. Some are a little less and some are a lot more.





A good average in the US for 6 veneers would be $4-6,000.
Reply:You might actually go ask if anyone has a good dentist in the travel section under "Dallas." Report It

Reply:I just did 6 veneers for a patient and the bill was very close to $4000.00. That is in BC Canada. They looked awesome!

Porcelain Veneers : What does it mean to....?

What does it mean to remove some of the enamel or whatever for the veneers? o.O

Porcelain Veneers : What does it mean to....?
A dentist must go in and "drill away" some of the top surface of your teeth. For this reason, it is only recommended in more severe situations because it is never highly recommended to remove healthy tooth structure if you dont need to.


If you decide you would like them for cosmetics, then they will drill away the front part of your teeth and take an impression, then they have a lab make the porcelain veneers and they bring you back in and cement it to your tooth (it takes place of the part that they drilled away). That way they can easily change the color and shape of your teeth, and make them brighter and more beautiful.


Just remember that those things can eventually fall off (not common but it does happen) and the tooth under the crown isn't the prettiest, so be ready if that ever happens and get back to the dentist so they can put it back on for you.


Good luck!

Can porcelain veneers correct an open bite?

I am a 27 year old female with an open bite and small gap in between the front two. I work in a very public position and dont feel comfortable at my age with orthodontia which is the most common recommendation or orthognatic surgery. I just want to get porcealin veneers or even the newer "Lumineers". But aside from cosmetic value can veneers be used as a treatment plan for open bites?

Can porcelain veneers correct an open bite?
It depends how severe is your open bite.





If you are patient, the best treatment to correct your open bite is orthodontics. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...





If you do go for veneers, put in mind that veneers have a life span, and they should be redone every 10 to 15 years. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...
Reply:Yes, but you have to be very careful that, in correcting the open bite, you do not make the teeth look too long.





If it would look too long, then you'd need some type of ortho.
Reply:i had a an open bite and i had veneers put in...first of all the difference is amazing, the bite is still slightly open, however, it is unnoticeable to the untrained eye....if u go this route, please be careful in not letting your dentist convince u to get long veneers!! I dont know why, but for some reason they want to completely close the bite by putting in long horse teeth..thank god i stopped him in time....


If u want braces, you can try the clear ones, again they dont really treat severe cases.

Porcelain veneers. cost/procedure?

what is the average cost to get procelain veneers? and i heard they basically shave down your teeth till there is nothing left then glue on the veneers and how painful is it?

Porcelain veneers. cost/procedure?
I'm in the process of getting porecelain veneer facings done. They were $1000 for each tooth. I am having 8 done. That price includes everything! All x-rays, all moldings, all work up time, even a temporary 2 week set of the veneers to see how they sat in my mouth, the final teeth and everything. Its fantastic. My suggestion is that you go to a cosmetic dentist. If your going to pay that much, get it done right! lol It depends what your teeth look like to tell if you need your teeth grinded down. My problem was just that I have tiny teeth. They won't be shaving down and of my teeth.

Repairing damaged porcelain veneers?

I have porcelian veneers on the front upper teeth. This procedure has been done recently and I've noticed that two of the veneers have one horizonal fractures to each and one has a vertical fracture toward the side of the veneer. I have made a few comments to my dentist during my visits and she stated that it is only glue and she would have them completely buffed out when the bottom teeth are completed and that I will be pleased with the results. What problems later will I run into due to these fractures that I have noticed that she has sealed with something from a tube that required a light to be held to the teeth at the end of the procedure? I have no pain from these two teeth but I can still feel the fractured areas with my fingernail. The dentist states that the areas will be fine when everything is completed. I have already paid in full for all of the veneers to the bottom and top teeth. Am I going to have problems later with these two teeth?

It's hard to #1 predict the future and #2 diagnose you


over the phone or over the internet!





Seriously, have you considered getting a second opinion from


another dentist in your area?
