dental implant perforated my sinus cavity
I’m a little concerned about some things. I was several months into my “healing period” from my dental implant being placed when the dentist removed it.

lumineers for white spots
I just finished my braces and my teeth have white spots on them. It’s pretty embarrassing and my friends have pointed it out to me, so I know it is noticeable. Getting braces was pretty expensive. I want to cover the white spots, but I don’t want to ask my mom about it if it…

Can I bleach my non-veneered teeth?
I had four porcelain veneers done several years ago. They look fine, but the teeth next to them have stained a bit and it looks weird having white teeth and not white teeth when I smile. I was thinking of getting Crest Whitestrips but don’t want to hurt the veneers. Would it be safe? Mia…
