Can You Whiten Your Teeth with Dental Implants?
I had two dental implants placed about five years ago and they’re doing great. I couldn’t be happier with them in terms of how they’re holding up and how natural they look and feel. However, I keep looking at my smile in the mirror and I’m not happy with the way it looks overall. I’m…

I have a few amalgam fillings. They’ve never really given me a problem. However, my dentist retired and the new one is “mercury free”.

Lumineers are leaving my smile in the dark!
I had a Lumineers smile makeover about eight years ago. Back then, I had quite a bit of money and was able to afford to have sixteen teeth done. There’s no way I could afford that now. The problems started almost immediately after having them put on. My original dentist was in Hawaii, but I…

Tongue tied over my Lumineers!
I got Lumineers done about a month ago, thinking they would really make my smile pop for a convention that I’ll be giving a presentation at in a couple of weeks. I noticed right away that they felt really thick. My tongue keeps catching on them and it sounds like I have a lisp. I…

It’s hard to be king when your crown keeps falling off!

I'm afraid my hygienist will ruin my porcelain veneers!
I’ve got eight veneers on my front teeth. I have a regular cleaning coming up and I am worried about the tools the hygienist uses. Could my veneers become loose or even break during the cleaning? — Sara Sara, Porcelain veneers are very strong, so a hygienist won’t pull them off or break them; however, with that…
