Options for teeth makoever?

So basically my teeth totaly suck.


Really, money isn't that big of a deal for me, it doesn't matter how much it will cost, but I'd still like to know about the cost.


So my two front teeth are large and protrude forward, and the rest of my teeth aren't horrible but I'd get vaneers or whatever for some of them.


1. Can I replace teeth with implants? Would this work better than just getting vaneers or caps, etc.


2. What would work best to just change all the teeth, everything from whitening to size and position.





Also, my lower jaw is farther below my upper jaw. Could this be fixed with surgery or would I have to get blocks like I would had I just gone with braces?





Thank you so much for your help!! I really appreciate it!!

Options for teeth makoever?
Definitely visit your dentist and get his full recommendations, but here's what I think after working for a dentist for over a year so far. Do not go with implants unless you are missing teeth. If you are missing teeth they are a great choice, but if the teeth you have are in good shape, you are only dissatisfied with the aesthetics of them, then probably crowns can be done to make them look better. If your teeth really are crooked enough to warrant orthodontics then by all means do that, if it will make you like your teeth. I don't know much about ortho, but it might be able to fix your jaw problem also. If not then I'm sure there is a surgery that can. If you'd like your teeth whiter, then custom made bleaching trays from your dentist and the corresponding bleach works very well. If you get much reconstruction on your teeth you might not need it, for example if you get several crowns that are visible when you smile then they can made to a lighter shade that you and dentist decide on. Be sure when you go to the dentist that you tell him all your concerns, and he'll get something figured out for you. It's good that you can afford it too, so many people can't and hate their teeth. Good luck!
Reply:first of all visit your general dentist or a dentist specialized in prosthetic dentistry (prosthodontist) to get his opinion


1. you certainly should not replace your teeth with implants. implants are a solution when a teeth is missing. there are many conservative solutions using current dental materials.





for your jaw problem, you should visit an orthodontist. there are solutions, including surgery.
Reply:I would go to a Cosmetic Dentist before I went to a general dentist. I just had 8 Veneers put on and I am in love!! I chose the Cosmetic Dentist. If your going to pay the money, get it done by someone who does it all the time and is a specialist, not just a general dentist that doesn't have the level of experience.
