I went directly through the lab my dentist uses to get my new partial denture. My old partial lasted eight years until I broke it. I bypassed my dentist for the new partial denture because the lab does a good job, and I knew it could save the lab and me some money if we […]

After a two-year battle with gum disease, my periodontist and dentist recommend a lower denture. The periodontist has the gum disease under control, but I have lost so many teeth that saving the few remaining ones would only weaken them. I am concerned about how dentures will affect my facial appearance. I am an active

I live more than 100 miles from your office, but I need to find a dentist to take over my porcelain veneers case. I had several visits with a dentist, but I am afraid to let him prepare my teeth. I saw some of his patients’ photos during my first visit with him, and I

I’ve worn an upper denture since 2015 but am considering All-on-4 dental implants. My friend has All-on-4, but I notice a strong odor on her breath and am concerned that I might have the same experience. I clean my removable denture nightly. Although I like the thought of a fixed implant denture, I may not

I am 41 years old, and my top front teeth are very slightly overlapped and not as white as I’d like. I don’t like my tooth shape either. I heard that porcelain veneers might be able to make my teeth look straighter without getting braces. Is this true?  Thank you! Adrienne from Sumpter, SC Adrienne,
