Upgrading veneers and crowns

3 replies

I’ve had two sets of veneers and crowns over the years which are ok (my dentist is old and doesnt have aesthetics skills, he’s more of a tech expert) but I’d now like to get a new set that are a bit whiter than my own teeth - which have a yellow cast.

who do I go to (Midlands) and how do I avoid that blue tinge that Ive seen some people’s teeth have and also, the harsh, opaque/flat white teeth and how do i avoid the big teeth trap? My current crowns are massive, so much so that my lateral incisors are the same size as my front teeth!

Sadly, i haven't met anyone with good teeth/dental work to ask.

I think Cheryl Cole’s new teeth are lovely and am hoping for something like that.

Look up dentists in your area and read reviews. Have a full consultation, and examination, discuss your concerns, and what is realistic for you. Your teeth are unique to you so I don’t think you can compare them to a celebrity’s! Hopefully you will end up with nice, affordable teeth!

Thanks. Yes, I’ve been to see two dentists in my area, one, seemed uninterested in aesthetics, favouring root canals and Invisilign instead, and the other had an empty waiting room and I got seriously creepy vibes from both him, the receptionist and his nurse.

Unfortunately, I live in a suburb outside a ‘shit town’ so dentists tend to go over the county border to take advantage of the better off. Sadly for me, this would mean an hour long journey.

I’m also finding that very few dentists near me display before and after pictures of veneers and crowns so that you can gauge their level of aesthetic competence. It shouldn't be this hard When you have money to spend.
