Is there an effective alternative to porcelain veneers?

Friday, April 9th, 2010
Q.
Is there any effective alternative to porcelain veneers to improve chipped teeth? I have 2 frontal teeth in my upper gum and two in my lower gum that have fairly minor chipping, probably from grinding my teeth when I was younger. The teeth themselves are strong and healthy and hence I do not wish to consider planing them down and replacing them with veneers at this point. Is there any treatment that could “sand” the chipped areas away?,
A.
Yes smoothing the chips is an … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Tongue thrust is causing my front teeth to separate

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi There, I have a tongue thrust, and it is causing my two front teeth to separate in an upside down V. This is concerning to me because I wore braces for 4 years (about 7 years ago) and did speech therapy to re-train my tongue. I have a night guard that I wear although not regularly because it is uncomfortable, despite that it is in rest that the pushing occurs. Would veneers be a viable option to correct this cosmetically, while continuing to wear a guard at night?

A.
Yes veneers might help but you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I have been trying to wear a nightguard /splint. But it’s causing me pain especially on one side where I have a bridge.
