Can I hv veneers fitted to lower set of teeth?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Caplan, My First question is :- I am thinking of haveing veneers but wonder whether the natural tooth will become damaged in a similar way that natural finger nails become damaged by having false nail fitted onto them ? My Second question is :- I notice that the vast majority of patience have veneers fitted to the upper set of teeth, can they be also fitted with equal result to the Lower set ?

Can there be a retainer attached with a mouth guard?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
Go slight Dr. kailesh Solanki, I am going to have Porcelain Veneer’s, not Composite put on. I have several question: I am going to have 2 front veneers applied. At this time I have temporary Veneers. I would like to know why are my temporary 2 front teeth getting black by the gum line traveling inside of the veneers? It really looks like mildew (Grosse)! No there was no dry blood. I am very faithfully at rinsing with salt water daily. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me. (3rd time is a charm) from what I hear? Ha Ha!! The first time it happened my dentist repaired them. I ask her to redo them. She said the veneers look to good to redo? The 3rd time I demanded her to redo them. All this happened with 2 weeks. (2). Doctor are my permit veneers going to have the same shape and length of my temporary ones? I do not really like the shape of the teeth now but can live with them for couple of weeks. I really expect my veneers to be even from the gum line along with a perfect pair of shape teeth? (3rd). At this time I wear retainers. I can only wear my bottom ones not my top? Will my top teeth move? I grind my teeth at night. Is there such a thing as retainers attached with a mouth guard so I can not bite down on my teeth /Veneers? If there is can you please give me the name of the retainers /mouth guard along with the Web site to see some examples (Pictures) please? If all possible please respond at your earliest.. Thank You For Your Help.

My teeth are placed random can I ve veneers and fillings?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Solanki, I have had a very hard emotional time over my bent teeth, I am finally approaching this issue to finally be able to smile normally! I have very bent teeth, I have all my teeth but they are slightly discoloured due to lack of brushing and I used to smoke for 7 years. I am very interested in having Veneers to make over my smile. As the most bent teeth are my two upper front, (they bend backwards about 90 degree’s out) are they too bent to have veneers? I looking for 8 veneers and fillings if needed. I am aware of the costs but am worried it will take a lot more than veneers to fix my nightmare teeth. I think it steams from my dentist at age 12 saying my teeth are placed like rubbish in a bin, random and not pleasent to look at. (yeah I know :-() Can you help me? Thank you

My dentist gave veneers and crowns as option Plz help

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
I went to a local dentist and ask about my options for my two front teeth that are SLIGHTLY worn away on the bottom. he said he would do crowns. I said NO. BECAUSE I didn’t want so much of my teeth to be taken away. He said he would do veneers. I left the office devistated because he took my two front teeth down to miniature chicklets. He put on temps that are joined together in the center and are very tough.I am sick over this.He is charging more for veneers than crowns. He has now choice to me but to do crowns. What can I do. I called the office and left a message to call me immediately on Monday. What is my recourse?

Could you give some details on Lumineers?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
HI, I have a gap in my two front teeth and want to close it. I have been to the dentist who advises invisalign or veeners. I didnt want the veeners I dont want to have my teeth enamel removed and invisalign is quite expensive and I am not sure whether I want to go through that. I then came accross lumineers and got very excited as I thought thats for me!!No invasive procedure great. What do you think to them do they look nice and are they safe.Are they really reversable.Or would you just go for direct bonding I have some already now that needs redoing could it just be touched up and not have to be drilled off.

What is the cause for other unit of bridge to feel rough?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Solanki I had a missing tooth at the back of my upper teeth, the front two had previously been veneered some 14 years ago and one tooth next to a front tooth was a crown. I wanted the crown replaced, a bridge to be fitted to fill the missing tooth and the rest of my uppert teeth, which were healthy, to be veneered. The dentist thought it best to replace the whole upper teeth with two seper bridges, one starting from the right front and one fron the left front, a total of 11 teeth. the bridge unit starting from the left is ok , feeling quite smooth, but the other unit feels rough.What is causing this and what would be the remedy, and also, is it wise to file down perfectly healthy teeth to take a bridge? Thanks

Is its good to whiten my teeth before placing new veneers?

Q.
Hi, im thinking of getting the replacement veneers. i had them for 15 yrs now. i was wondering, is it a good thing for a dentist to whiten my teeth (ones that have veneers) before placing the new veneers. some dentist said that it’s a good idea because it would deminish the grayish effect after the veneer is placed. and wont make my teeth very sensitive since it’s been grinded due to veneers?
