my teeth are decayed on the gumline

Monday, September 15th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I’m 24 and suffer with teeth that are decayed on the gumline. This means i don’t smile much (or if i do i just dont open my mouth too wide. My dentist says that this is probaby due to a combination of poor diet and not enough care in my teens. I have had a couple of white fillings to a couple of them. Would veneers be an option for a more asthetically pleasing look and if so how much do they cost and can they be fitted over the white fillings already in place?

whats the cost of lumineers for gaps

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr. Suri, I was interested in getting lumineers for closing gaps & correcting chipped tooth. The cost of putting lumineers is pretty high but I also like to whiten my teeth as well so I was wondering in order to reduce cost is it possible to whiten first & then put lumineers matching my teeth on just the ones needed to close space & are chipped instead of all the teeth that show up when I smile. In future if they get stained is it possible to whiten them by bleaching or laser? Thanks a million!

A.
Any type of veneers are expens… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
