Pretty Smile without Braces

-

Q.

Dr. Garner, I’m 53 and I never had braces as a teenager because I came from a big family and there were just too many of us for mom and dad to afford it.

My teeth are healthy, but unattracti­ve to me. I have spaces on the top front teeth that make a “gap” smile. On the bottom front teeth, I have some crooked teeth that are tilted. Overall, my teeth are a bit dark even after I’ve whitened them at my dentist’s office. He said I got medicine as a child that affected my tooth color. The enamel along the edges of my teeth has chipped and worn really thin as well. I just finished having an adult orthodonti­c evaluation and consultati­on from a respectabl­e orthodonti­st here in my town. I was told that I’d need to have braces, and it would take about 30 months. I asked him about other options, like retainers, or the clear braces, but he said NO, I’d have to have the metal kind. I have read your articles for years, and I was looking at your web site about Non-Orthodonti­c Cosmetic Options, and I want to come see you right away because like I told my husband, “I’m not going to be a metal-mouth at my age, and I am not waiting 2+ years to have a pretty smile”. I believe that your beautiful Exquisite Porcelain Veneers are what I’d like to explore. From what I understand, not only can you make my teeth appear straight, but they will look white and healthy as well. The way the edges of my teeth are disintegra­ting and getting shorter, really alarms me. Can you explain what I do next? I’d like to have my new smile by summer if possible because we are doing a family cruise and family beach photos this year.

Thank you for contacting us. The first step is to pick up the phone and give us a call. We will schedule a no fee consultati­on for you right away. What you are describing is exactly what I’m best at. We see dozens of Baby Boomers who wish to have the smile they’ve never had all their life. Most of our veneer smile makeovers take just two visits of about 2 hours each spread about a week apart. It’s honestly a very easy and it yields super fast results. That’s why we call it “Instant Orthodonti­cs”. Not only will your teeth appear straight, but they will be restored to a youthful, healthy appearance, free from chipping and wear.

We look forward to visiting with you very soon. We can easily have you ready to go before your trip. Jeff Garner, DDS “The Smile Doctor” Featured on Entertainm­ent Tonight and Dateline NBC General, Cosmetic and Aesthetic Reconstruc­tive Dentistry WestLake 5
