@beginning of the end thanks Alot dear ...I can't feel confident just because of yellowness still regularly brush ...I just try it

@@sainraye1409 Hydrogen peroxide can cause significant damage to the protective enamel of teeth if used too often or in too-high concentrations. More serious side effects of hydrogen peroxide whitening include inflammation of the teeth roots in the gums. It does whiten teeth and kill bacteria but has some harm. Make sure you never use a concentration above 3%. You can try baking soda as it's great at removing built-up plaque and surface stains, but it can also damage your enamel if you brush with it too aggressively. Don't overuse the product - Don't use baking soda for whitening purposes more than twice a week. Foods can also cause staining such as curry, coffee, tea, etc. Some medication and smoking as well stain teeth.

Is there any way that the government can help you, like a medical card to help put money towards it unless you have enough money for it.it’s a good investment for your mental health also as confidence and how you feel about yourself all comes from your smile and speech and it’s an awful feeling if you feel ashamed to speak but I hope you do and feel good about yourself in the next few months as you will see a new person looking back at you

So sorry you have experienced this....We have many patients we do crowns on and they last a very long time....Of course it is important to maintain by getting teeth checked and cleaned routinely....And wearing a nightguard will help protect...With that said, veneers are minimally invasive and very little tooth structure is removed so yes, we like to save tooth structure....Hope you are able to get your smile back:)

Wish more people read this advice before pulling the trigger and getting veneers. Your own teeth, no matter how bad they might look, are always x100 better than veneers, crowns, or any other artificial stuff you put on your teeth. With veneers/crowns on, your teeth cannot be naturally remineralized via saliva, and also more susceptible to decay, as you lose the ability to clean them properly.

Justin...The trend today is to do minimal preparation so tooth structure is intact and to leave as much enamel as possible

@@DrTerriAlani Dr. I had my two front teeth crowed a year ago cause one them chipped and the other split in half from the roots up. My teeth weren't ever straight and I was always planning on getting braces till that incident occurred. Can I still get braces even with my two front crowned teeth?

Lol, i was thinking the same. Reminds me of putting my nails under the uv light to cure the gel polish 💅🏾

Yes, many cosmetic techniques remind me of the nail technician procedures!

When I went to uni to become a dental technician we had a girl who was a nail tech in my class. She had some benefits from it in the beginning actually. She was use to working on details and the drills 😁

Most welcome 😊

you got veneers?

Thanks!

It's less expensive in india..

im 34 and i can same the same. I had pliers removed by a family doctor when i was a child and because i didnt want the second tooth removed. my dad slapped me and my two front teeth banged into a steel chair and pushed my teeth in. i judt wnet to the dentist to get my first wisdom tooth extracted and im about to get my other 3 removed under iv. I dont even know how i can manage to fix my bad cavites. i just want to straighten my two front teeth now i ahve to deal with 6 tooth decay at the front of my teeth>.

Its not worthy is more luxury than doing anything good in your teeth, that keeps falling out, and can irritate your gums if is not place well

You can do this procedure in Albania for a lot cheaper and the quality is pretty good

Glad it was helpful!

work like everyone else and buy them urself

LOL My Dream too! I would give almost ANYTHING to have beautiful teeth like this...even if just in the front where they can be seen. Wish someone would sponsor me too or I would win a contest or something! My teeth have always been taking care of, always told my home care was good. Now, after this upcoming Friday when I have 3 more teeth extracted, it will be 6 teeth in 3 months. Every root canal I had went bad after a while because I could never afford a crown. I was told my biggest problem is medications I take and that I am a mouth breather when I sleep. I use Biotene now before bed, but still wake up with my mouth dry like a desert. The dental pain I have had and have is about a level 9 or 10. Been treated with so many different antibiotics but still suffering. In USA, the Federal Govt. should have atleast basic dental care for every US Citizen for FREE.

@@despinav472 Lmao

Our office does minimal preparation so enamel is still present....Dentists are much more conservative now and we try to remove as little tooth structure as possible...however , there are times when more tooth structure must be removed to get the desired result....

@@DrTerriAlani how can I find you in texas. I need work done

Thanks so much!

Well want to make sure that spirit is happy ! Thanks for watching!

Easy to floss as a good cosmetic dentist will make sure of that!

Do you have an answer to R S2002's 2nd question, because that's what I also have in mind.

@@DrTerriAlani hey if I have a tooth that has fallen out in the front what can I do

Veneers do not fall out:)..Each veneer is bonded to the enamel which creates a very , very strong bond and can last up to 25 years....Veneers can chip though if you bite into something extremely hard like a bone, but so would your natural tooth:)

Thank you!

Thank you !

Awesome!

Yep! Good analogy!

@@DrTerriAlani Okay but honestly, is this basically the same stuff as UV-cured primer, then base gel, then polygel because I feel like it is.

Or I feel like it is a tooth formed with acrylic but adhered with primer and UV base gel.. not that I am getting ideas or anything lol

@@userkl7999 maybe using a light but the procedure is much more technique sensitive

Rarely is there an issue ...if decay happens it would be at the margin and the veneer would need replacing

You probably did not use a retainer....You would need to get braces again to correct the flare before veneers

Dont push your teeth with your tongue, if that happened to you, its because you did it after removing your braces, check out « mewing » by dr mew

Even if you can see decay, you need an x-ray to see the extent of the decay. You also need an x-ray to see decay interproximally (between teeth) so an x-ray would also detect decay under a porcelain veneer.

Many times it is visual but an x-ray will also detect it

It's never too late ... you may want to check out Snap-on Smile as an affordable option :)

I also would like to know this ?

U a dentist? Wat kind of dentist .u don't do veneers?

You save money on floss

Sem espaço entre os dentes pra que usar fio dental? Escova intervenção e uma boa escovacao resolve.

Yep!! It does

@@jameskahango4031 depends on how you take care of them, but they actually do come off easily they aren’t stable

I've been a dental assistant for over ten years and I will tell you this is true. These are good preps and the technique is solid, but because the veneers don't cover the whole tooth they will not last 20 years without coming off, even with nightguard use. I think veneers are fine if you have major aesthetic work you want done, but it's not without high cost and most dentists will not admit that veneers don't tend to last and don't work at all for some patients. I look at this and I think about how this dude will never bite into an apple the same way again, lol.

@@senilegnave lol so true! The money hungry dentist will not admit that veneers aren’t worth it, but a non money hungry dentist would admit that it isn’t worth to get! And money shouldn’t be spent.. but yeah! I’ve known ppl who got veneers and they instantly regretted it! The reason for that is everything changed, they couldn’t do what they did before they wanted to get them

True! You can’t eat anything hard like nuts 🥜 or carrots 🥕 etc

Would really need to see you in person to evaluate ...but perhaps simple bonding may do

I believe BL 2 or 3

These are the real questions that need to be answered!

I have composite veneers and I can answer your questions. I’ve had mine for 6-7 years now and go on monthly dental checkups, I can tell you that my real teeth underneath is healthy, no cavity and my veneers are still strong. Granted, I take proper care of them. Composite veneers stain a lot more easily than porcelain though, so once I earn enough money, I’d have my teeth whitened. Hope this helped :) Also my teeth was also shaved just a little bit, to accommodate my veneers. So seeing this video made me think if I could get this too.

Basically etch and bond then cement... there are many different types of cements… I particularly like ultra bond, super white or super white block out and or Variolink light

@@DrTerriAlani thanks dr do i need to apply any etchant on the veneers surface before the bond? Or just bond then cement

@@Kmo-nl3bs the lab should deliver " etched" veneers but you will need to apply sliane for a minute to the inside of the veneer , blow dry then before cementation apply bonding agent to the inside of the veneer , dry gently , then apply the cement

You obviously have to keep regular standards of hygiene. The veneers won’t allow any food inside the teeth itself. It also won’t damage your natural teeth

Thanks doc ! It is called a Lumi-grip by DenMat

Where to purchase it @DrterriAlani

@@GloriaMartin-zf2tl 1600 per custom veneer

Filling -> veener -> crown -> implant

Unfortunately, once a crown is done it must be replaced with another crown so yes it can be replaced but with a crown:)

Before I went to dental school , I thought everyone wore dentures after 50 !

Hi Miranda...we do little prepping but they are typically not reversible as we do take a bit of enamel away....The patient can choose the color but now days, everyone wants white!! We do have colors that are not so white though...Patient preference:)

That would be nice!!!

Hi Jim I am that person nearly 67 and just retired had my impression today and veneers fitted in 2weks treat to myself after 51years of graft hope you are Pleased with them if you decide to go ahead Ged from England

Thanks so much!

Come see us!

First of all, thanks for your comment and question...I would recommend wearing a Night Guard at night to protect your veneers if you are not already wearing one....As far as expense, there is a lot of skill to be a cosmetic dentist....A good cosmetic lab has expensive lab fees to fabricate the veneers and the materials used in the procedure are expensive as well...The impression material, temporary material, cutting burs, instruments....you name it, it is all expensive plus the countless hours of continuing education a dentist takes to be a good cosmetic dentist....

hopefully one day you can:)

@@DrTerriAlani how much is that per tooth or in this patient’s case?

@@XX-166 1600$ I seen her put this price in another persons comments,

Same

About 1200-1500$ per tooth

Too much for what they are 😂

@@CNsAdventures It's cheaper to get 14k gold grills.

@@rg7846 yep 🤣

If you oil pull with coconut oil while you’re in the shower every day, for 30 minutes you will have super white teeth after 30 days.

@@Gutch1004 Thanks for the advice!! I started oil pulling a week ago, and I hope my teeth looks better after a month. Sorry for late reply btw.

That’s a crown ☺️ currently in process of getting those

Yes:) We do minimal preparation and stay in enamel

I would recommend seeing a dentist to advise you...Without seeing your teeth, it is difficult to answer but veneers will help support and strengthen your teeth especially if they are chipped assuming there is no active decay:)

WoW thanks for info

That’s just it, we’re not all born with beautifully straight and white teeth 🙄

Not everyone is lucky enough to have good genetics when it comes to teeth. My teeth get cavities really easily no matter how much I floss and brush them, it’s genetics, same with my parents, and now the edges of the fillings look very dark which is why I’m looking for ways to brighten them without getting my fillings filed down or replaced every few years.

@@Beausmama My point is they dont have to be straight or white, just healthy, but if you want them straight theres braces- and white there's whitening- just makes me sad when 18 year olds get rid of their prefectly fine teeth to get the trendy tooth shape yknow. IO personally think teeth add to a persons character, so i dont care if theyre crooked as long as theyre looked after. And the reason it makes m esad is because i think it cant be good to shave down your tooth permanently to the point you will always require some form of costly dental treatment. If you feel it will boost your confidence and youre willing to sacrifice your tooth strugture, its just something to consider, that some people jump into it it seems like for a trend

@@highfive7815 hey if your teeth are causing you problems i think thats a separate thing, I just replied to monica about the angle i am coming from. If it is going to help protecct the health of your tooth in some kind of way- that is totally different to shaving down the structure of your healthy tooth to get a fashionable smile. My point is it is permanent and fashion isnt permanent so it really needs to be thought through yknow. I hear what you are saying about genetics, but also might be worth looking into remineralising tooth pastes and trying to leave them overnight, apaguard is one. Toothpastes with hydroxyapetite- thats what teeth are made of and cavities occur also when there is a mineral deficiency. Also if there is alot of acidity in the mouth either due to diet- sugars/acidic things, but also if you eat alot of beans and dont soak them and rinse, they have phytic acid which apparantly leaches minerals from your diet. Also fermented cod liver oil is meant to be good aswell. might not be of any use if it is just down to genetics- but I made some of these changes to my diet- mainly stopped drinking soda, sweets, flossed with toothpaste(x2 a day) and had the fermented cod liver oil and managed to halt the progression of my cavity. Dentist said after a year it stayed the same size and seized development. ive been abit slack with it recently but lifestyle can also have an impact- obvs genetics are genetics, but on the off hand any of this is helpful

You do know in A LOT of cases dental issues aren’t always the result of bad dental hygiene! Medical conditions/cancer/certain medications/various illnesses/a whole list of otr. issues, etc unrelated to hygiene can have a serious & devastating effect on your teeth. Many ppl suffer w/depression/anxiety/self-esteem issues, etc as a result of those dental problems & unfortunately don’t have the resources to pay $25-50GRAND+ for extensive dental work so they just suffer, before making cute comments for “likes” & laughs, educate yourself, “kid”…smh🤦🏽‍♀️

I would always opt for braces first… Possibly Invisalign. If there are other issues involved, such as misshapen teeth and gaps, then you may do Invisalign first, and then a few veneers. I would seek out a cosmetic dentist and get an opinion. Every patient is different, so it is very difficult for me to give you advice without seeing you. Veneers only hide gaps… They do not move teeth.

@@DrTerriAlani oh wow is this what KRISS AI said too? what's that kRISS AI thing you are talking about?
