Would Lumineers be a good option if I wanted to widen my smile?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I would like to widen my smile and show my teeth more. My teeth are straight and in good health so I am not so keen on having veneers as it seems quite invasive. I am interested in having Lumineers, do you perform this procedure and would it help achieve the results I am looking for? Also, can teeth be made longer using Lumineers? How much does it cost per tooth to have Lumineers? Thanks,

A tooth that was bonded on recently came out grey. What happened and how is it fixed?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Hoping you’re having a good day! My dentist bonded my upper front tooth to make it wider to close a gap. The tooth is between two other teeth that are attached to a partial. When he was finished bonding it…it was gray instead of white. He said he doesn’t know what went wrong, and told me that he matched it to the whitest color on the chart/strip they use. He took an xray, and I don’t have any root damage. What do you think went wrong? How does my dentist fix this? It is very noticeable as my other natural teeth are very white. Please help me. I hope I hear from you soon. I am seeing my dentist tomorrow! Thanks so very very much! ,
