How long do porcelain veneers last before they need to be replaced?
You will want to protect your investment in porcelain veneers both for the sake of your smile and your wallet! Unfortunately, they probably won't last a lifetime, but as long as you take care of them they should serve your smile for a decade or longer. Use a non-abrasive type of toothpaste and keep on top of preventing stains. Beware of teeth grinding or sport injuries too.
What is the difference between braces and porcelain veneers?
Braces are often used to treat severely misaligned teeth, such as those seen in an overbite, underbite, or cross bite. They are also sometimes used to help correct gaps between the teeth or certain types of crowding. Braces are a long-term commitment, as they are semi-permanent fixtures in the mouth for a pre-determined length of time. There are also highly complex cleaning methods involved to keep your teeth free from bacteria. Veneers are perfect for people who have crooked or discolored teeth, or who want to correct mild gaps. The procedure results in natural, beautiful-looking teeth in as little as two to three appointments, giving them a huge time advantage over braces. They are as effective as braces to fill in small gaps between existing teeth. If you are looking for Porcelain Veneers treatment My Island Dentist team provide help to improve your smile.
Is there a place you can chat live online with a dentist?
I have root reabsorption from traumatic orthodontics when I was in my mid -teens. I have very short, millimeters long roots on my top 6 teeth. I have been able to keep my original teeth by keeping my teeth healthy. I had veneers put on my 6 teeth when I was 16, then replaced when I was 34yrs old. I'm 40 and now the veneers need replaced again because of leaking and cavity behind my front tooth. My dentist now wants me to get a gum trim along with the new veneers. Is that healthy? I don't want to compromise and support for my teeth.
How old do you have to be to get veneers?

Are non Prep Veneers scam Bad experience and high Costs?
I have got my non Prep Veneers "glued" on the front teeth. Unfortunately, the result is very bad and not at all natural. My complaints are: Non Prep Veneers are too thick Have a speech impediment that is, I Lisple now Non Prep Veneers are too long Non Prep Veneers are color that is unnatural are not stratified and therefore monochrome I feel totally ripped off and cheated by the manufacturer of the non Prep Veneers and the dentist, there was no compensation for the bad results. Is this'm a new to scam by bad dentists to make money from gullible customers? Has anyone had the same experience? Are Dentists that offer non Prep Veneers legit or scamers? I would like to get in contact with people that experienced bad results as me.

How long do dental gold crowns last?
Dental gold crowns can last for decades. I've personally seen some last over forty years. In general, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-porcelain crowns do not last as long a gold crowns. A goal for dental providers is to be able to place a crown that will last at least ten years. This is considered a adequate lifespan of a crown. Most crowns will last longer than this but gold has the best track-record for longevity. One reason gold lasts longer is because it is more forgiving to the chewing forces created in the mouth. Porcelain is more brittle and can fracture, whereas gold is malleable and can change shape to accommodate the force rather than fracture. Gold crowns are often recommended for back teeth which actually bear higher chewing stresses when compared to front teeth. Porcelain is opted for when aesthetics is a concern. This is why porcelain is generally recommended for teeth closer to the front. They look more like real teeth and they can last a long time when they aren't under a lot of chewing stress.
What is the long-term care for porcelain veneers - Da Vinci Veneers?
Use non-abrasive toothpaste, Supersmile is recommended for veneers and other restorations. Use alcohol free mouthwash as the acohol can damage the bonding material that holds the veneer on - this also means that you should avoid drinking alcohol excessively, I always take a straw if I go out for a drink so the alcohol is not constantly hitting my front teeth that have 6 veneers. Floss alot. The edge of your teeth where the veneer joins the natural tooth is very susceptable to damage because the food particles and plaque now have a little ridge to sit on. Your dentist should clean around your veneers every six months. They can get stained around the edge where the bonding is. Make sure your dentist is using the right materials for cleaning. Non abrasive materials should be used - a regular polish with pumice will damage the surface of the veneer and power polishing equipment such as Prophy-Jet will also roughen the surface causing them to stain. A fine aluminum oxide polish should be used for veneers. Make sure that your hygienest also nows how to treat your veneers. Ultrasonic scalers can chip the edge of the veneers so these should be avoided. A Philips Sonicare is the best power tootbhrush to use on Veneers because of it's gentle cleaning action and abiilty to clean in hard to reach areas. I wouldn't recommend an oscillating toothbrush as these can cause veneers to become loose. Don't pull staples out of stuff with your teeth or open bottles of beer in a similar fashion. Don't snack unless you are willing to clean your teeth after every piggy raid of the fridge. If you don't already have veneers think very hard about whether you can keep up the maintenance. Alot of sites advertising veneers talk alot about how hardwearing they are and how they don't stain, that your natural teeth are protected etc etc but in actual fact it takes alot more care to keep veneers looking good than it does normal teeth. They CAN stain at the edges so if you smoke and thought that a porcelain covering that doesn't stain was the answer for you you will be disappointed. You have to take twice as much care of your gums because if they recede only a tiny bit you will have the edge of the veneer showing and this is unsightly. There are far fewer products that you can safely use on veneers as opposed to normal teeth so be prepared to be constantly checking ingredients and making sure dentists and hygienists are cleaning with the right products. Finally remember that they will last ten years if you are lucky. I am only banking on mine looking good for five years before they will need replacing. I have had them two years and am already saving hard so that in three years time I can get them done again. Hope this helps.
