Smile Makeover on a Fractured Tooth

by

Years ago, I had an accident which fractured some teeth. They received both root canals and dental crowns. As years past, my smile started to show it’s age. I decided to get a smile makeover after my last promotion. I went to see a highly recommended cosmetic dentist in my area. She did a combination of dental crowns and porcelain veneers. I love how it looks and am much more confident. My problem now is with tooth #9. It’s been sensitive ever since and there is a pimple on the tooth next to it. My cosmetic dentist thinks that the tooth needs to be extracted and to have a dental implant placed. I’m also getting a root canal treatment on the adjacent tooth. I’m attaching the x-ray to see if you think the tooth really needs to be extracted. I just had the restoration done and it seems like a waste of money to remove the tooth. I’ll also send a picture of the new smile in case you need it.

Aaron

Dear Aaron,

Aaron's Tooth X-rayI am in agreement with your cosmetic dentist. Looking at the circled tooth, in the middle of the root there is a horizontal radiolucent line. This is an old fracture that was either missed by your old dentist who worked on your teeth after the accident or he thought he could get out all the necrotic tissue and save the tooth.

Below the fracture looks healthy. However, above it the tooth looks moth-eaten. That tells me there is probably an infection there. Removing the tooth, will be the safest thing to do. A dental implant is a fantastic replacement so your dentist was right about that too.

Looking at the images you shared of your smile makeover, the dentist you choose was skilled. I’d stick with her for the dental implant as well.  However, she should have caught the fracture and infection.

Because she didn’t, it isn’t unreasonable to expect some flexibility in how this is paid for. Originally, had it been properly diagnosed at the beginning, you would have paid for an implant and a crown.  I’m going to suggest you ask to pay for the implant, but not the new dental crown to go on top of it because you just paid to have one placed. I don’t think she’ll have a problem with that.

From your x-ray, I have noticed one other issue. It looks like another tooth that had a root canal treatment, didn’t get done properly. You see the tooth on the left has filling material that stops a few millimeters short of the end of the root. I wouldn’t do anything about it unless it flares up. For now, the tooth itself looks healthy.

$100k for a Smile Makeover?

by

I’m so frustrated. I’m having trouble getting the right cosmetic dentist for my smile makeover. The first go-round I used my normal dentist. It turned out a complete disaster. He was gracious about it and completely refunded my money. Next, I went to someone who is supposed to be the top cosmetic dentist in our city. He said my bite is off and quoted me close to $100,000. There is no way in the world I can afford that. Is that the right amount for a top cosmetic dentist?

Jane

Dear Jane,

Woman with a beautiful smile

You are running into two problems when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. First, it isn’t a recognized specialty. This means any general dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist regardless of the amount of post-doctoral training they received. Unfortunately, creating smile makeovers isn’t taught in dental school. If a dentist wants to develop the skills needed to do it well, they need to invest in the training on their own. This is the issue you ran into with your family dentist. He obviously meant well and wanted to try to give you what you wanted. When he couldn’t, he had the integrity to return your money when he couldn’t.

The second dentist had a completely separate issue. The cost he quoted is quite high for porcelain veneers. He mentioned your bite was off. It’s possible what he was recommending was actually a full-mouth reconstruction, which is a completely different and much more involved procedure as well.

I would get a second opinion before moving forward. To be safe, I’d like to make certain you are seeing a qualified cosmetic dentist and not just someone trying to bring in a large fee. My suggestion is you look for an AACD accredited cosmetic dentist. These dentists have proven themselves by passing stringent exams as well as demonstrating the artistry to a committee.

If it turns out that you do need a full-mouth reconstruction, I think you should verify his qualifications. You need a TMJ Dentist with advanced training. Take a look at Dr. Weiss’ qualifications to get an idea of what type of dentist you would need for this type of procedure. Even then, I don’t think it would cost you $100K.

Can You Get Porcelain Veneers if You Have an Overbite?

by

I have tetracycline stains that I have always wanted to be covered. I asked my dentist about porcelain veneers and he said I can’t get them because I have an overbite which makes my upper teeth cover my bottom teeth. Instead, he wants to do six porcelain crowns on the upper teeth. Because my lower teeth can’t really be seen, what do I do with those, whiten them?

Elisabeth

Dear Elisabeth,

Photo of a single porcelain veneers being held by the tip of dental forceps.

Please don’t let this dentist do your smile makeover. He’s making quite a few errors and he hasn’t even started. Him telling you that porcelain veneers don’t work for an overbite isn’t true. Instead, it is likely just an excuse because he doesn’t know how to do porcelain veneers. In fact, veneers make more sense in a case where there is an overbite involved because dental crowns must surround the whole tooth. This will cause it to hit up against your lower teeth.  Instead, porcelain veneers are thin wafers of porcelain that only cover the front and hug the sides a smidge. This is a much better fit for someone with an overbite.

A second concern I have is that dentists who recommend dental crowns for a smile makeover when it isn’t necessary are generally not experienced cosmetic dentists. They think they have done dental crowns for treatments before with decayed teeth. How hard could it be just to add a few more? Actually…quite hard. In your case, this is especially true. You are dealing with tetracycline stains which are among the most difficult and advanced cosmetic procedures there are to do well.

He’s also recommending just six dental crowns. Most smiles are at least 8 – 10 teeth wide. What does he intend to do to make those adjacent, visible teeth do to match? Teeth whitening, which could be an acceptable option on many cases, will not work in yours because of how deep and dark the stains are with tetracycline. This will make the six teeth that are crowned, look obviously fake and silly, like children playing dress-up in their parent’s shoes. They obviously don’t fit, but at least they’re trying.

Teeth whitening could help with your bottom arch. This arch won’t be so obvious when the color doesn’t match exactly. However, I’d recommend a strong whitening system such as KoR whitening. Plus, you will have to be persistent and stick with it much longer than the average patient.

Your Smile Makeover Requires an Expert Cosmetic Dentist

Especially because of the difficulty with your type of smile, you need a top of the line cosmetic dentist. My suggestion would be to find an AACD accredited dentist. This is different from being a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. To reach accreditation, the dentist has to pass stringent exams as well as provide visual evidence on a large number of specific cases they’ve done that are assessed by a panel of judges on their technical quality along with their artistry.

Can’t Speak after Closing a Tooth Gap

by

I had a tooth gap that my dentist closed and talked me into a smile makeover at the same time. I had porcelain crowns done from one canine tooth to the other. Ever since then I have had problems speaking, closing my mouth, my mouth is dry all the time, and my neck hurts constantly. Is there a way to put the gap back? Everything was fine with those things before. I just didn’t like the gap.

Carl

Dear Carl,

woman smiling with a gap between her two front teeth

The easiest way to close a tooth gap is with dental bonding

I want to start with the fact that crowning six teeth is a massive overtreatment for a tooth gap. It wouldn’t even be my solution for a smile makeover. Generally, tooth gaps are closed with dental bonding, which is much less evasive, doesn’t remove healthy tooth structure, and is much less expensive.

However, let’s say you really wanted a total smile makeover. As I said above, porcelain crowns still would not be the best choice. The go-to procedure for a smile makeover is porcelain veneers. The reason a dentist would suggest a porcelain crown if you don’t already have crowns there is because he or she doesn’t feel qualified to place porcelain veneers. That’s not a good reason. It would be better for them to refer you to a cosmetic dentist who would be able to give you a beautiful smile without having to grind down all your teeth. Unfortunately, once all that tooth structure is removed, you are stuck with crowns for the remainder of your life.

As to the issues you are facing, they are not from the gap being closed. Opening that back up won’t help. However, the issues are serious and are a result of the dental crowns not being placed properly.  Based on your description, it sounds like your dentist opened your bite too far. This means he’s either made the crowns too thick or too big for the shape of your mouth. It is imperative this is repaired–The sooner the better.

Here’s what is leading to the problems you’re facing. The neck pain is a result of your bite being thrown off and now you’re straining. Until that is restored, you will continue to be in pain.

Not being able to close your mouth properly is called lip incompetence. This is leading to the dry mouth you are experiencing. While I’m sure you know why the pain has to be dealt with, the lip incompetence is also a serious issue.  Our saliva is a major force in fighting decay in our mouth. Whenever you have dry mouth, you no longer have the minerals from your saliva to protect your teeth. It will lead to massive decay.

To get this properly fixed, I want you to get a second opinion from an experienced cosmetic dentist. Find an AACD accredited dentist in your area. These are the top cosmetic dentists in the country. They can help you get a refund from your dentist and then you can get this done properly so you have the proper function of your bite. Not only will you have a functioning bite, but it will also give you a stunning smile.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Disaster

by

I needed to replace some old veneers and two crowns. When I saw my dentist, he said that he’d need to open my bite a bit so my teeth would show more. I never considered that a problem, but figured there was a reason. The temporaries are very uncomfortable I asked him to redo them twice. Then when the permanents came in, he put them in so fast, I hardly had a chance to check them out before they were permanently bonded on.

I’ve had massive problems since and can’t even shut my mouth all the way. I have been drinking water and sloshing it around my mouth constantly. If I don’t, my lips stick to my teeth. I spoke to my dentist about it and he said he’s hit all the checkpoints and his work is perfect. What do I do? I don’t feel like I can continue like this.

Pam

Dear Pam,

Woman covering her mouth with hand.

This is unacceptable for you. When your dentist tried to open your bite, which I am not convinced was necessary, it sounds like he was in over his head as well. Additionally, it doesn’t sound like he cares. He ignored every concern you had during the temporaries. This is the stage that is imperative to help ensure the bite is perfect. He should never have moved forward until your bite was completely comfortable. He blew past that and placed the permanent ones in a rush.

Now that they’re on and not doing well, he’s ignoring you again. This time, putting your oral health at risk. What you are experiencing is lip incompetence because he opened your bite too much. He’s really messed up and doesn’t want to admit it.

The only way to fix this at this point is to completely have the case re-done. However, you don’t want to have this dentist do it. To be frank, he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You need another dentist to do this for you. I also think your dentist needs to be the one to pay for it. It is his mistake.

Who Should Re-Do This?

You need a dentist with both cosmetic and restorative training. When you do, make sure the temporaries are exactly the way you want them before the case goes any further. A good dentist will know this, but I don’t want you suffering the same way again, so I just want to make sure you don’t allow anyone to move forward without satisfactory temporaries.

What that means is, your lips will come naturally together, your bite “feels” normal to you, and you love how they look. Unfortunately, smile makeovers and advanced restorative procedures aren’t taught in dental school. A dentist has to study this in a post-doctoral setting, though it isn’t required for them to practice. If at all possible, you should get an AACD accredited dentist to do your case. They will be the most likely to have the training and the skills necessary to do this for you.

Do Dental Crowns Cause Dry Mouth?

by

I’m having a really hard time with dry mouth ever since getting all my teeth crowned. I know it was a cosmetic procedure, and while the teeth look okay, I have to really focus on keeping my mouth closed. Never in my life did I think I’d be what my kids call a “Mouth Breather.” Is there a way to fix this or is it normal and I’m just not used to a wider smile?

Kathy

Dear Kathy,

A woman pointing at her smile

No this isn’t normal. Was there a particular reason your dentist did dental crowns instead of porcelain veneers. You mentioned it was cosmetic work. Generally, when someone is getting a smile makeover, porcelain veneers are the go-to. It removes less tooth structure.

Some inexperienced cosmetic dentists will do porcelain crowns for smile makeovers because that is what they’re familiar with, but it unnecessarily grinds down healthy tooth structure. It’s water under the bridge at this point as it is already done. I just wondered if there was a functional/mechanics reason for doing something so drastic. That leads me to my next question.
Why every tooth? Most smiles are about eight to ten teeth wide. Doing every tooth is excessive, not to mention expensive.

What your dentist did is known in dentistry as a full-mouth reconstruction. It’s an advanced procedure that isn’t typically taught in-depth, if at all, in dental school. Instead, dentists would seek out post-doctoral training.

Lip Incompetence is Dangerous

When you can’t close your lips naturally and are having to consciously force it, we call that lip incompetence. It is going to rain havoc on your teeth and oral health. While many people think brushing is our biggest defense against decay, the reality is our saliva has an even greater impact. It contains bacteria-fighting minerals that protect your teeth. Dry mouth deters saliva and allows that bacteria to multiply unhindered.

In creating this problem, y our dentist made a serious mistake. He (or she) needs to pay to get this fixed. Don’t just ask for a refund because the fix will likely be more expensive than the original procedure. If he complains about this, you may want to hint to him that another dentist told you that you have a valid case for malpractice damages. That should get his attention.

A Word about Smile Makeovers

You said the smile was “okay”. An okay smile would not be what you were stuck with when it came to a true cosmetic dentist. When you go to get this full mouth reconstruction done correctly, I want you to look for a dentist who is accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

AACD accredited dentists are in the top 1% in their field. Not only will you be able to close your mouth naturally and comfortably, but you’ll also have a stunning smile you will be thrilled to show off to the world.

What If You Don’t Like Your Smile Makeover?

by

I wanted a smile makeover. I asked my dentist if he was a cosmetic dentist and he said no one is actually a cosmetic dentist they’re just dentists who did cosmetic work. He then asked what procedure I wanted. When I told him a smile makeover he told me that he could give me Lumineers. He showed me before and after pictures that looked good. When my porcelain veneers were first placed. I didn’t like them. I could tell that before they even put them on. They weren’t the right color. I told him that and he sent them back. When they came in the next time, I had a hard time seeing them on my teeth because they kept falling out. He assured me they could make adjustments after they were bonded on. It turned out that isn’t true. When I finally got a good look at them at home, I was super disappointed. First, they were whiter, but it had a chalky flat looking white, not a shiny one I was hoping for. Second, they are way bulkier than natural teeth. It was shortly after this that the quarantine started and his office closed. I called and left a message, but he hasn’t gotten back with me. I don’t know if that’s because his office is closed or he’s ignoring me. I’m hoping to get this fixed, but what if he’s actually just avoiding me?  The answering machine does say they’re checking messages and will get back with us, but he hasn’t.

Carol

Dear Carol,

A single porcelain veneer being placed on a tooth.

While technically your dentist is correct, there isn’t a recognized specialty in cosmetic dentistry, that doesn’t mean some cosmetic dentists aren’t more qualified than others. Doing smile makeovers aren’t taught in dental school. It is up to the dentist to invest the time and money into learning them well.  It doesn’t sound like your dentist has done that based on what you’ve described.

Problem One

The first thing that caught my attention was his recommendation of Lumineers. This is a brand of porcelain veneers that is highly marketed, especially to inexperienced cosmetic dentists as being easy to place. They say that because they are considered easy to place as they are an ultra-thin and don’t necessarily require any tooth preparation. However, they have two big problems working against them.

The initial problem is the inexperience of the dentist. Some smiles will look fine without tooth prep. Others will look bulky. A second big issue with Lumineers is their lab. Unlike other brands of porcelain veneers, the company that produces Lumineers require dentists to use their lab, which isn’t known for its high-quality work. In fact, many expert cosmetic dentists would consider it sub-par.

I know your dentist showed you before and after pictures, but did he say they were HIS before and after pictures. They may have been stock photos.

Problem Two

A second big problem I noticed is that your dentist either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about temporary try-in paste. If he didn’t know, he has done practically zero training with cosmetic work. If it is, instead, that he doesn’t care, then he is definitely NOT a dentist you would want working on your smile. So you’ll be aware for next time, a temporary try-in paste allows you to get a good look at your porcelain veneers on your teeth for an extended period of time, without them having to be permanently bonded.

Problem Three

Finally, he told you he could make adjustments after they were bonded on. Cosmetic Dentistry 101 teaches you that is not possible. Again an indication he either doesn’t know he’s doing or he doesn’t care. The good news is this last issue works in your favor. He told you something that absolutely wasn’t true. I think this can help you get a refund.

So, once you’ve got that juicy refund in your hand, who should you go to in order to have a beautiful smile crafted for you? Ideally, you’d get an AACD accredited cosmetic dentist. They are at the top 1% of their field. If that isn’t possible, my next recommendation is you go to the website mynewsmile.com. They recommend expert cosmetic dentists in every area. A dentist cannot just pay to be listed. They have to provide their cosmetic dentistry training as well as visual evidence with before and after pictures of cases they’ve done themselves in order to prove their artistry. Any one of the dentists listed there can create a stunning smile for you. Many of them are on their way to accreditation, which is a process that can take many years.

Prosthodontist Versus Cosmetic Dentist

by

I needed a lot of reconstructive work done on my teeth after a car accident. I went to a prosthodontist because they’re supposed to be the experts at this. I brought pictures of my old smile. I just wanted to have my beautiful smile back. I thought it would be fairly simple as they’d know exactly what I wanted ahead of time. When it came to the process of fitting, it looked like everything would be too dark. I mentioned that and they said it was because they weren’t the permanent ones. A common theme, whenever I brought up an issue, was the dentist saying, “He’s been doing this for twenty-five years and I should trust him.” Then, when I noticed the color didn’t match on the top and bottom he said, I didn’t understand how it worked and he was doing what was clinically correct.

When it came time to put in the permanent ones on the try-in, I couldn’t see them because they would fall out. He was mostly checking for fit. I told him one of them felt weird. He snapped at me at that point and said, “Everything is clinically perfect and fits just as it should.” He also told me I’ve been overly demanding and if I don’t like it I can leave without the teeth. I was humiliated and couldn’t bear the thought of leaving without teeth. At that point, most of my teeth had been ground down to nubs for the teeth needing crowns. I just let them do the work and booked it out of there as quickly as possible.

Now that I’m home, the teeth don’t look anything the way I wanted. The top teeth are actually darker than the bottom teeth, which looks completely insane. One of the teeth still feels funny. The teeth are shorter than my old smile, which makes me look older. I hate this. Is there any way to get it fixed without spending a second fortune?

Mandy

Dear Mandy,

woman covering her mouth with her hand.

I hate it when I hear these cosmetic dentistry horror stories. All that time and money and the patient is left disappointed at best and in a horrible situation that destroys their bite and leaves them in pain in some of the worst cases. You haven’t been unreasonable and hard to please. When you talked about the difference in color from the upper and lower arch I cringed. While you can get away with the lower teeth being slightly darker than the upper teeth, the other way around just doesn’t work. You can get this fixed, but you’re going to have to be tough. If you think you can handle it, I’ll explain how you can get the smile you deserve.

First, what he did is essentially malpractice, though I’m certain he won’t see it that way. He has a dental school mentality of “I’m the dentist, therefore I know best”. One of the standards of dentistry is informed consent. What he ended up doing, though, is coercing you into a smile you didn’t want. That’s not informed consent.

It’s obvious he didn’t care what you think to begin with. During the try-ins, you never got to see the crowns. He only cared about the fit, not whether or not you liked the appearance. If he did, there are temporary try-in pastes he could have used to let you get a good look and approve everything before moving forward.

Based on the arrogance you’ve described, I don’t think you’re going to get far with him on your own. Instead, you may need to involve a lawyer. His lawyer will immediately suggest he settle. I don’t want you to just ask for a refund. Instead, what you need to do is have him pay an expert cosmetic dentist to fix this.

While a prosthodontist studies reconstructive dentistry, not enough of them invest time developing the training necessary for the cosmetic side of things. You are more likely to find an expert cosmetic dentist with training in reconstructive dentistry than you are the other way around. I’d start by looking for an AACD accredited dentist. These are the top cosmetic dentists in the country and will certainly give you a stunning smile. Many of them also have reconstructive training as well.

Getting a Smile Makeover Through Yelp?

by

I’m having trouble deciding on which cosmetic dentist to use for my smile makeover. I’m looking at the top three recommended in Yelp. I was thinking of doing composite bonding because it is cheaper, but I can’t tell which of them would be better for that over porcelain veneers. Any advice?

Hannah

Dear Hannah,

Brunette with a beautiful smile

AACD accredited dentists are in the top 1% in the country.

I’m glad you are writing. I think I can save you a lot of grief and wasted money. Let’s start with the way you’re going about finding the dentist you want to do your smile makeover. While Yelp is a great resource for many things, I don’t think its algorithms are going to be useful in this case.

They make their recommendations based on reviews. However, they don’t really make a distinction on what type of dental work is done. For instance, if you were to look at many of the reviews of those dentists, how many are based on their work doing smile makeovers? Most are likely just about how friendly the office is or some of the general dental work they’ve had done.

I’ll discuss how to get the best cosmetic dentist for your smile makeover in a moment. Before we do that I want to talk about the two procedures you were considering. You won’t find many great cosmetic dentists who will do a complete smile makeover with composite bonding. It actually takes significantly longer to do it with composite than porcelain and get it to look beautiful. Because of that, they’d actually end up having to charge you more. Plus, composite doesn’t last nearly as long as porcelain, so your investment isn’t as durable. Dental bonding is best done with small areas, such as repairing a chipped tooth or closing a tooth gap.

If you’re going to invest in a new smile and want it both beautiful and durable, then porcelain veneers would be the better investment for you.

Finding a Cosmetic Dentist for Your Smile Makeover

There isn’t a recognized specialty in cosmetic dentistry, nor is doing smile makeovers taught in dental school. That leaves patients in a bit of a quandary. Because of that, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry began an accreditation program. Dentists who pursue accreditation have to pass exams demonstrating their technical knowledge. They also have to demonstrate their artistry by presenting visual evidence of a large number of cases they’ve done. Those are examined carefully to ensure they meet the highest standards. Only then will they be accredited.

If I were getting a smile makeover, I would look for an AACD accredited dentist.

Dentist Gave Me a “Wallace & Grommit” Smile

by

I have a disastrous smile makeover. The closest way I can describe it is he’s given me a Wallace & Grommit smile. My front teeth are way too big and make it hard to even close my mouth all the way! He also provided a few mini implants for missing teeth in the back of my mouth. What do I do? It is so bad that my friends ask me if they made my dentures too big. I don’t have dentures! That’s how ridiculous I look. My dentist thinks it is fine. What do you recommend?

Monica

Dear Monica,

Image of Wallace & Grommit

I’m sorry this has happened to you. I’ve put a photo of Wallace & Grommit here for the sake of those who may be unfamiliar with the reference. I’m afraid we hear about these smile makeover disasters way too often. Most of the problem stems from dentists who are inexperienced in cosmetic work. While cosmetic dentistry isn’t a recognized specialty, it does require specialized training. Smile makeovers aren’t taught in dental school, so they have to invest the time and training to study the skills in a post-doctoral setting. Not all dentists have invested in the necessary training or could just be he’s just started out. We have all had our first few cases.

Generally, if the problem with your case is simply it doesn’t look good, you don’t have much recourse. You could appeal to the dentist’s sense of integrity in his work or get another cosmetic dentist on your side to appeal to the dentist’s sense of peer respect. Another option is to threaten to write a bad review.

That being said, you are in a better position. Your mouth doesn’t close. This causes serious problems to your dental health and would not be considered a clinically sound case. When your mouth doesn’t close, it leads to dry mouth. This means you are not producing enough saliva. Our saliva is a key factor in preventing cavities. It contains minerals and other properties that help fight the bacteria in our mouths. People with dry mouth suffer from decay and gum disease and a much higher rate than normal.

Getting Your Smile Makeover Fixed

Frankly, your case needs to be redone. This is actually good news for you. I don’t want your current dentist doing the work. I’m concerned about what I”m hearing from you. You need a better cosmetic dentist. So, before you ask for your refund, I want you to see a better cosmetic dentist, preferably an AACD accredited dentist. While you are there, ask them to look at your implants too. I don’t like hearing he put mini implants in. While they are fine to help with securing a denture, they are not a good option for a single dental crown. For that, you would need a full-sized dental implant.

If your second opinion dentist thinks they are fine, then you can simply get a refund on the other work. If he thinks you’ve had the wrong tooth replacement then you will want to get a refund on both. Plus, have him pay the additional cost of the bone grafting which would be necessary to do the replacement.

You then have your second opinion dentist do the work or get another dentist.
