Help! My Dental Implants are Falling Out.
I had a full mouth reconstruction done a year ago and the dental implant crowns have been falling off leaving me with nothing but the screws. Now one of the implants themselves have fallen out. I’ve been trying to reach my dentist for months, but they keep blowing me off. Now I learn he’s actually…

Matching Dental Work to Really White Teeth
I am new to my area due to getting transferred. I’ve always whitened my teeth once every two years and they are very white. With the transfer and the pandemic, I haven’t had time to find a new dentist and recently fell and chipped a tooth. I went to a dentist someone at work recommended.…

Gums Inflamed After Porcelain Veneers
I had two porcelain veneers placed on my front teeth. Since they were placed my gums have been painful and inflamed. The hygienist said she’d never seen that happen and wondered if I was brushing correctly. I’ve been brushing my teeth for several decades now, so…yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m brushing correctly. Actually, her response…

Porcelain Veneer Fell Off Twice
I had six porcelain veneers placed by Dr. [name redacted]. After four days, the left incisor fell off. I was only eating bread. The tooth was super sensitive from the moment the veneer fell off so I got an appointment at his office as soon as possible. He said it fell off because my bite…

Contouring Teeth
Ever since I had my braces, off the jagged edges of some of my teeth have bothered me. Can this be fixed? If so, would it be done by my regular dentist or is it something the orthodontist would do? I like how straight they are now, but would like smooth edges. Misty Dear Misty,…

Porcelain Veneers don't Match
I had several porcelain veneers and one dental crown placed. When the temporary ones were done, they looked too long. Because of that, I asked they be made a little shorter. The did that, but they don’t seem to match. My two front teeth are slightly different sizes. I didn’t really get to see them…

My Dental Bonding Looks Awful
I had some discoloration on my teeth after getting braces. I really regret not getting Invisalign now, but hindsight is 20/20. I had discoloration on several teeth after my procedure was done. I asked her what we could do about it. At first, we tried teeth whitening, but that only made it worse. So, she…
