Cosmetic Veneers vs Bonding?
I would love to get veneers for my teeth, but the cost is a real concern, especially since I’ve read that veneers may need to be replaced after as little as 5 years. Would bonding be a good alternative? Can it make my teeth look as nice or at least somewhat similiar to what veneers could?
On the west coast? Let a San Diego dentist take care of your dental problems and transform undesirable dental features to a sparkling smile.
This is a very hard question to answer without knowing exactly what your teeth look like, how well you care for your teeth, etc. Knowing how comfortable your dentist is with each procedure makes a difference also. My daughter bugged me and bugged me to do veneers on her teeth. She had some dark spots from medication as a baby (no choice in the matter…) and I agreed that she should have some treatment, but I did not want to place porcelain veneers on her at a young age. Finally, at age 16, I was willing to use bonding for her front six teeth. (Dentists – I only did 6-11, because we were not changing the shade.) My plan was to replace them with porcelain once she was in her 20’s. She is now 33 years old and the bonding still looks great. (Dentists – I used Z-100 in 1989. I DID prepare a finish line.) On the other hand, I have a dental assistant who needed “something” done, but she declined porcelain veneers and asked me to do the same thing that she saw on my daughter’s teeth. (She said that she knew porcelain would not last forever and she wanted to delay her “permanent” treatment.) Iam a Cosmetic Dentist San Francisco I did the same thing for her and found that she wore them out by excessive brushing, no matter how much I warned her, and we ended up replacing them – ALL of them – every 3 to 4 years. She just wore them down so much that you could see the edges of her natural teeth showing through. After about 10-12 years of playing with these bonded teeth, she FINALLY let me replace them with Empress porcelain crowns this year. I have many patients (25 or 30) who have had porcelain veneers for 10-15 years with no problems. Frankly, I have not had problems with veneers failing, but I am very selective about who gets to have veneers as opposed to having a full porcelain crown. So, it is very difficult to answer your question without seeing the conditions in your mouth. Bonding can be an excellent choice and it might last for a long, long time, as it has lasted 17 years for my daughter. Then again, bonding might not hold up more than 3 or 4 years, as it has for my assistant. When veneers are done properly and placed well, they might last for 20 years or more. When they are placed poorly or used where they really are not appropriate, they might not even last a year.

Are veneers the only cosmetic procedure for enamel loss?
I don’t think so. My best friend lost all her enamel on every one of her teeth and she isn’t getting veneers. Her dentist is doing something fake enamel on hers but it takes a long time because each tooth is something like $600. Her gave her a prescription toothpaste to use to help protect her other teeth until she have all of them done. She is also using Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and ACT Restoring Mouthwash which you can buy anywhere. Both help protect tooth enamel. Her doctor told her that her enamel loss was probably due to drinking too much soda and sweet tea. She is a sweet tea addict. When I was little I lost some enamel on my teeth because I drank a lot of fruit juice and the citric acid and sugar wore off the enamel.

apart from teeth bracers and veneers what other cosmetic dentistry treatments are available?
ive got spaced out teeth and they are also chipped. can the dentist create me brand new teeth
I had a space on the side of my mouth and debated for the longest time between getting braces, a dental implant, or veneers. Veneers ended up being the most aesthetic and cost effective option – and quick, braces can take as long as 2 years.
If you have a serious bite problem I’d consult with an orthodontist, but the cosmetic dentist I saw was able to give me 5 veneers and 4 crowns to fix the spacing. Veneers can make your teeth appear larger and fix the space – and they match my bottom teeth fine. I’ve had them for almost a year now with no problems.
hope that helps!

Veneers – Cosmetic Dentistry a favorite of Dr. Patel
http://www.19thstreetdental.com.
Here is one of my favorite videos about Veneers. Veneers are one of the options to having a whole new look. Cosmetic dentistry at 19th Street Dental in our Atlanta office is something we feel is an excellent alternative to crowns, veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, and creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material, are designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long lasting, and are relatively easy to apply.

Look for a cosmetic dentist
Are dental Crowns the Same as Veneers? in regards to their cosmetic similarities?
So bad dental hygiene in my 16 years of life lead to me having to get a full mouth of rootcanals and crowns; and i was wondering if, after i get all my dental work done will i have a perty smile? 
My insurance is covering all the costs btw.
do i still get a good treatment?
So what i am reakky asking is; do the crowns look like a "Hollywood" Smile like Venneers would?
Crowns and veneers will both improve your appearance and give you a Hollywood smile. Crowns are indicated when your teeth have had root canals and a lot of decay and fillings. They will strengthen the teeth. Veneers do not strengthen your teeth. Good luck with your make over
