Ask The Dentist

I had braces for 5 years as a child. When I got them off my teeth were green. We tried Rembrandt bleach trays but that seemed to eat the enamel off my teeth. When I had a child they got worse. Then one day (I'm still unsure how) I got kicked in the face so my front tooth is cracked. I'm ashamed to admit because of being ashamed of what 5 yrs of braces left me w/ I haven't taken care of them, but my mom just said for graduation she may buy me my teeth she's been promising for about 15 yrs if she can get an estimate. I just want the confidence to smile so i can get a job in my new field.

Thanks for the note – sounds like you are an excellent candidate for cosmetic dental restoration. You obviously need a complete exam, including x-rays and photos to help to decide what your options are. Give us a call and we will gather information and try to teach you what choices you have and what the costs are. Here are a couple of photos of before and after so you can see what new crowns look like.
