Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry?
I would like my front 6 teeth restored. A large front tooth might have to be pulled,resulting in bridgework. Can a regular dentist align and cap teeth to correct staining and chipping and alignment? Also, can tobacco and coffee stains be effectively removed from bottom teeth as well? How long would this process take? Thanks
mickeymaz:A general dentist can perform the sort of dental treatment you are talking about. Tobacco and coffee stains can be removed but they are difficult stains to remove easily. How long would it take? Several appointments would be needed and your dentists would be the best person to answer this questio... More...

Corina O.:I think that before you have it done you should have a consult since its not reversible. If its something you really want to do I say go for it but after you get all the info. It doesn't hurt its just a lot to get use to. But in the end I think you will be pleased!... More...

Anyone ever have cosmetic dentistry?
Recently I have been thinking about cosmetic dentistry, unfortunately it is so expensive I cannot afford it. Insurance does not cover cosmetic dentistry unless it was a result of an accident.
I am so ashamed of my teeth. I regret not taking better care of my teeth when I was younger, I feel bitter that my parents never gave me braces when I was younger because they couldn't afford to, I feel bitter that my parents didn't force me to take better care of my teeth. My parents fiqured they hav

Is cosmetic dentistry reliable and right for me?
My teeth are in good shape with the exception that I have a approx. 1/4 inch gap in my upper 2 front teeth. I want to have cosmetic dentistry done, but I am a little nervous about the durability over time, and the after product. Any free dental advise would be helpful.
pkim999:Each person is different, and what is right for one is not right for another. Go and visit a dentist who can give you an estimate for what you may need. Often it is a free consultation. That's what I do. I give options and let the patient decide.
A simple treatment that works sometimes is to a... More...
What is the cost per tooth for cosmetic dentistry? And did you get a loan to have your teeth done?
I read up about the procedure for cosmetic dentistry, and I want to know what it cost you to have cosmetic dentistry done on your teeth, what insurance company covered you, and if you took out a loan to get that done which loan company did you use?
still looking for someone who had cosmetic dentistry done. I hear it's about $100 per tooth, is that what you paid?
Bzl1:I've had 11 crowns for restorative purposes but the cosmetic effect is the same as having them done for THAT purpose, and it was about one thousand per crown. A friend is having veneers and crowns specifically for cosmetic purposes only, and he also told me one thousand each. That's a pretty good ... More...

what should i do in regards to my teeth and cosmetic dentistry?
okay. so my top two adult incisors never grew in and after i had my braces removed (about 3 years ago) all my teeth had been moved so that there were no gaps where my incisors should have been. since i got probably my first teeth x-rays i've been down for getting at least four veneers for my front teeth because there was bound to be some cosmetic need for them. now that i've already had braces, my orthodontist thinks all that's left for me is the veneers. but the guy totally screwed up with my t
