Porcelain veneers ruined my teeth. I hate that I got them. They are too thick, too white, too wide, and too long. I hate everything about them. Sometimes, I have nightmares about what went wrong and why I listened to my dentist, who convinced me they looked fine. He bonded them to my teeth before […]

I have a tender lump in my gums above my top left incisor. I noticed it a year ago. My dentist says it is a chronic, benign abscess. The lump is the same size and does not hurt. However, it is obvious when I smile. Because I questioned my dentist, she referred me to an

I’ve checked ten places for affordable dentures and implants, but the prices are too high, even after insurance, so removable dentures are my only option. At age 52, I know I won’t be able to avoid facial collapse. I’ve had four consultations for dentures with four to six implants and contacted my insurance company to

What is there about the veneers process that impairs taste? Thanks. Dina Dina

My husband has worn temporary dentures with All-on-4 dental implants since late July. Something about his denture teeth or implants has an annoying rubber/plastic smell. I cannot know what is causing the sensitivity, but whenever my husband talks, I smell it. I have multiple chemical sensitivities, and whatever it is, the implant denture irritates and

I’ve had dental anxiety since I was 12. Before my implant overdenture procedure, I told the doctor about fear. She assured me that she would sedate me, and she and her team would ensure I stayed deeply relaxed. Not. I woke up during the procedure and felt someone holding my arms down. When I woke
