How Much Would Composite Veneers For My Front Teeth Cost?

Friday, April 12th, 2013
Q.

I have very thin teeth, they are health. I have no fillings whatsoever. However as they are very thin it makes me feel paranoid. They are starting to look almost cracked along the bottom and I want something that will almost protect them while increasing my confidence in my smile. It’s important to me to look good and be able to smile in front of my friends and family but this is knocking me, I’m such a happy smiley person normally, but this is changing me. What I am looking to get done, would be composite veneers on my top front 6 teeth. How much would this cost roughly and would I be able to pay monthly or would it need paid all at once?
Many thanks.

Why are my teeth eroding and what can I do?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I’m afraid the enamel on my front two teeth is eroding. I had braces for two years, and during this time, my teeth did not have that “clear” appearance on the bottom. Once I got my braces off, I noticed that my front two teeth were becoming clear. Since then, I have not been drinking soda and other acidic beverages. However, one of my front teeth has been chipping. Just tiny chips, but it still concerns me. Are my teeth chipping because of weak enamel? I do not eat very hard/crunchy foods, and I do not grind my teeth. I am only 15, and I take very good care of my teeth (I brush/floss twice a day, use mouthwash, etc). I do not want to get composite put onto my front two teeth because it must be replaced every few years and enamel must be removed in order for the composite to stick. I do not want to get veneers/crowns either, because they require shaving down the tooth. What should I do in order to improve the appearance of my “clear” front teeth, and perhaps strengthen the enamel?
Thanks!
