Toothpaste:  At the lowest level of whitening products are toothpastes, floss and mouthwashes that have been specially formulated to brighten your teeth. Generally speaking, if used consistently, they can whiten healthy teeth about one shade over time. These products can be purchased over the counter, and may cost about the same as “regular” counterparts, or slightly more. Therefore, they are a cost-effective means of whitening your teeth, if you only wish to take off surface stains, and you are motivated to prevent stains from reoccurring in the future.

What kinds of discount savings would I be looking at if I got a dental discount plan for implants?  I have not been able to find dental insurance that does not see implants as cosmetic service even though for me I do not feel that it is cosmetic.  I need teeth and I do not like partials.  I think it bad that insurance companies only want to give you the cheapest choices.

Two months ago I got porcelain veneers on my front teeth and I am wondering if it is normal for the edges of the veneer to get rough?  Towards the bottom they seem a little rough.  I do not recall them being like that when I first got them on.  Also they are not as shinny as when I first had them put on two months ago.    Should I go back to the dentist and complain?  Did I get bad Veneers?

When I was fourteen I had chipped my top front tooth.  My dentist at the time bonded the chipped tooth and made it look like new.  I never had any troubles with it.

Now at 30 I just manage to chip that same front tooth.   I do not have dental insurance but never really thought I needed it until now.   My dentist told me that I should get a veneer put on but it will cost me almost $1000.00.  Any advise on a low monthly cost dental insurance plan that can help me out here.   Thanks.

Dental Insurance – Cosmetics

Cosmetic dentistry may help you to get your best smile at any age.  One of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures to a perfect smile is bonding.  Cosmetic dental bonding is a fairly painless procedure usually performed in one dental visit by applying an enamel like material to your teeth which is then shaped, hardened with a special light and polished.

I was told by my dentist that I should get implants for my missing teeth since my partials are always given me fitting problems.  My partials which were covered under my dental insurance never fits right.  The inside of my mouth and gums get rubbed raw and starts to hurt.  My dentist told me implants may be much better for me.

Is there any insurance plans that cover dental implants?  I want to have dental implants but would like to get some help reducing the very high cost of having them.  I have called three insurance companies only to be told that they would cover for partials or bridges but not implants.   Where would I need to go to get some dental help for implants?

I was wondering if there are any dental insurance plans that cover for cosmetic services?  My current dental plan will not cover for me to have any dental cosmetic services such as teeth whitening, veneers or dental implants.   I would really like to make my teeth look perfect.  I have always had to deal with having bad looking teeth which makes me not want to smile.   I think the only way I will have great looking teeth is by going to a cosmetic dentist.   That said I would still like to have some help with the dental cost.  I have yet to find a dental insurance that says they cover for cosmetic services.  Anyone know of any plan that does?  Would love to have some information on who does.
