Looking for Zoom to complete my personal makeover.
I’m kind of obsessed with makeover reality shows. That said, they did the trick to motivate me. I’m proudly down over 95 pounds and I feel like I deserve Zoom whitening like they show on those shows. I told myself if I met my goal, I could makeover my smile too. When I talked to […]
Can I Give My Leftover Zoom Whitening Gel to a Friend?
I had Zoom whitening done about a year ago and the doctor gave me a tray and some gel to use at home for touch ups if I wanted. My teeth have retained their color and I’m still happy with them, but the stuff is just sitting around. My best friend has always wanted to […]
With dental implants – is the lab or dentist that does them more important?
I have been researching dental implants for months and have seen multiple dentists on the subject. I have asked the question of multiple implants dentists, is the lab or the dentist more important?

Is there Hope for My Lumineers Nightmare?
I literally spent thousands of dollars to have Lumineers done across my four front teeth. They didn’t feel right from the moment my dentist put them on, but they told me I would adjust.

My porcelain veneers are messing up my speech.
I had a pretty significant smile makeover, which included 10 porcelain veneers. I also had two crowns done at the same time.

Is it common for porcelain veneers to have a bump?
My two front teeth have been troublesome over the years. I have had them bonded but they kept needing replaced, so I decided to try out porcelain veneers. Well, that didn’t work for me either. I felt like they looked bulky. So the next dentist decided to do bonding again. That was a joke, my […]
