Q. there is a very slight gap between my front teeth. My other teeth are okay so I do not want to get braces. What other treatment could I have to solve this indiscretion?
A. The two options are: Cosmetic Bonding. This is the placement of a plastic tooth colored material in between the teeth to close the gap. This procedure is dependent on how large the gap is and whether it will alter the length and width proportions of the tooth. The other is placement of porcelain veneers on both teeth. There are advantages and disadvantages to both procedures. Consult with your dentist on what is best for you. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Do veneers require the teeth that are in place to be removed or even shaved away first? I could possibly have veneers of invisalign but I do not want to lose any of my teeth if that is the case with veneers.
A. Invisalign will straighten your teeth. If you are happy with the shape and color of your teeth than this is a good choice. In general veneers do require tooth removal about the thickness of a business card but allow improvement of the color, shape and position of your teeth. Consult with your dentist on what choice is best for you. Dr. Lemongello

Q. What is the difference between veneers and lumineers? Do they both basically do the same job or are they different?
A. Lumineers is nothing but a brand name for a veneer. How they are applied to the teeth can be slightly different. Lumineers are marketed as a “no preparation” technique. This is often misinformation. It is a rare occasion that a tooth can be veneered or lumineered without some sort of preparation

Q. I dont want braces and therefore want veneers or possibly lumineers. but to decide can you tell me in what cases either treatment are suitable for. veneers seems to be the main one from what i gather but what would you say?
A. Treatment to straighten teeth can be with veneers or with orthodontics. Orthodontics will give you straighter teeth but will not impact the color or the form or the proportions of your teeth. Veneers can attain all of the above. Make sure you go to someone qualified to undertake this sort of treatment.

Q. How much drs would you say it would cost to have all my teeth veneered? i ask because my teeth are crooked but i do not want to have braces or whatever and want quick results. thankyous
A. Most people do not need all their teeth veneered. The cost is dependent on how many teeth are treated. The cost will vary greatly with what is being done, who is performing it and where you are in the country making it impossible to guide you.

Q. Is there any difference between veneers and lumineers or are they basically one and the same? i need something to cover crooked front teeth but dont want braces which is whuy i ask.
A. There is little difference in that veneers and Lumineers are both made of porcelain and share the technique of being minimally invasive. However, traditional porcelain veneers fabricated by a skilled technician are much more artistically crafted in regards to beauty and natural appearance.

Q. Is veneers only for teeth that are discoloured or can it help with teeth that are crooked. It is mainly my front teeth but I dnot want to go with braces especially metal braces. Braces are quite expensie and I don’t want the effot of having to wear them for months and months,
A. Veneers are ultra thin porcelain coverings for your teeth that can be used to change the shape and position of your teeth to correct them if they are crooked. Veneers can be as expensive as braces so if you are happy with the color and shape of your teeth you can straighten them. Also, you don’t necessarily have to have conventional braces. Perhaps Invisalign is an option. Consult with your dentist. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Over 14 years I have had my veneers replaced two times and I am now going to need to get them replaced again. Is there not other option as I bound to need to get them replaced in not too many years.
A. Replacement of veneers every 7 years sounds like a lot. It is unusual to hear this. Full coverage crowns may have to be an option if you choose to do this again.

Q. Would you be able to tell me what the difference is between veners and lumineers. My dentists has recommended them both to me as I dont want braces but am not sure what the difference is?
A.
There is little difference in that veneers and Lumineers are both made of porcelain and share the technique of being minimally invasive. Porcelain veneers come in different qualities. Lumineers are a proprietary form of porcelain veneers marketed by the company. However, traditional porcelain veneers fabricated by a skilled technician are much more artistically crafted in regards to beauty and natural appearance. Traditional veneers also have a better fit on the tooth and can be made of better materials than Lumineers. Dr. Lemongello
