I have permanently stained teeth from an antibiotic given to me when I was a baby. Bleaching, whiteing, and caps won%26#039;t help. I thought about fake one, but I%26#039;m only 25. I%26#039;m in a commited relationship now and he doesn%26#039;t care. But I%26#039;m afraid it will freak people out.
Would you date, or feel differently, about a girl with false teeth? (regardless of age)?
First of all I have to commend you for being brave enough to even ask the question, which by the way is a smart one too.
However having said that I must also ask WHY do you feel you would even have to tell people that your teeth are fake, or that you%26#039;re going to get fake teeth?
It is quite frankly NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.
Another thing, [this is LONG...sorry] if everyone REALLY knew WHO...they would be extremely surprised to find out which MOVIE STARS actually have at this very moment complete set[s] of FAKE teeth.
Why don%26#039;t you know this? Because they NEVER speak of it, it%26#039;s a %26quot;given%26quot; [a trick of the trade] and unless told, you%26#039;ll never know.
By the way I have fake teeth too...mine are just the two in front [lost to a baseball accident at age 18] but unless I tell someone you would never guess it either. In the 25 years that I have had them, NOT ONE PERSON has ever guessed or questioned or even thought for a second, that they were fake.
I also dated the same man for three years and eventually married my husband who didn%26#039;t know they were fake until we had already been married for three MORE years and I had to tell him. I was going to have surgery and was asked if I had any fake or metal parts in my mouth so when I sheepishly looked at the doctor and nodded yes, talk about someone being shocked....BOTH the doctor and my husband couldn%26#039;t believe it....
My husband couldn%26#039;t believe that they were fake, and even had to exam them himself because he still refused to believe me thinking, I was joking with him and the doctor...LOL..I wasn%26#039;t. And the doctor even looked in my mouth and still couldn%26#039;t tell, until I told him, and all he could say was %26quot;Wow, you must have a GREAT dentist, they look SO real%26quot;.
So see not all teeth have to look like they are fake [nor feel like they are too], just make sure to get the very best COSMETIC DENTIST your money can afford, and you won%26#039;t be disappointed.
And don%26#039;t automatically assume that EXPENSIVE EQUALS COMPATENT AND TALENTED...because it doesn%26#039;t.
Always go for a few %26quot;silent%26quot; visits...like I did.
%26quot;Silent Visits%26quot; are when one doesn%26#039;t have a actual appointment but rather goes in quietly and observes the patients, and staff while in their normal course of business, to get a %26quot;feel%26quot; for the place.
So go and sit in the waiting room of any dental clinic/office, and just listen to what their patients are saying or talking about, most will if unhappy be very vocal about it so all you have to do is sit and listen, to hear if the doctor is good or not, kind or mean, arrogent, or compassionate to his patients problems.
Also don%26#039;t be shy about asking someone who appears unhappy or upset, why they are upset. Tell them you%26#039;re debating giving this doctor your business, and then step back and watch the flood gates of complaints or praises flow.
Another smart thing to do is to check with the medical board for any complaints against a dentist you are considering going to, to see if they have any violations on file. Just as with Medical doctors, Dental doctors have to be certified too, and they also answer to a review board and licensing agency,so make sure to do your homework and again you won%26#039;t be disappointed.
Times have advanced so far that the false teeth of my days are almost obsolete, and the models of today are made better, lighter, and more natural appearing, providing you don%26#039;t skimp on cost. Only downfall, is that they are being made not as durable as the thick, metal ones of old, so more care is required but they also look the most natural too.
So don%26#039;t skimp on quality for the sake of price...you%26#039;ll regret it and end up paying twice as much in repairs and adjustments if you don%26#039;t make sure to get it right the first time.
Skimping and dental do NOT go hand in hand successfully...a good COSMETIC dentist is worth every cent you spend and so do NOT skimp, especially where your appearance is concerned.
Afterall this is a part of your body that will make or break first impressions, and you NEVER get another chance to make a good impression if you fail the first time.
Make sure to get the best set available to you because that is what you will be stuck with, and also with what you will have to eat, sleep and smile with for many years to come.
Just keep in mind that advances have been made thus far that are astronomical in denture products, and so if you choose to get fake teeth, you couldn%26#039;t have picked a better time.
Another importent thing to remember is that COSMETIC DENTISTRY charge by the TOOTH...not by the body, so it WILL be expensive, and that getting use to having a piece of plastic [they%26#039;re actually acrylic but feel like plastic]in your mouth will take some SERIOUS ATTITUDE AND MENTAL ADJUSTMENTS...won%26#039;t be easy, but CAN BE DONE.
It took me almost a whole TWO MONTHS of CONSTANT CRYING AND PRONOUNCING MY WORDS FUNNY before I finally stopped taking it out of my mouth and feeling like giving up.
That was in the day BEFORE implants...so you%26#039;re lucky in that that is now an OPTION for you, where before it was only an option for the very wealthy, it is now available to all who are willing to pay for it.
They have also advanced to the stage of what is called MINI-implants, and that is where they take the denture part and SCREW IT into your gum line....[hurts no worse then a regular extraction as far as pain goes, and they also give you pain meds to help out], and it becomes like a permenant set of teeth, they are by far the strongest and longest lasting, and also act and feel just like your own teeth....and look GREAT!
So I would say aim if possible for mini-implants, but if not, don%26#039;t worry dentures are just as good and much more cost-wise for replacing bad teeth.
Mini-implants will run you WITHOUT DENTAL INSURANCE right around $1,500.00 with insurance much less, but some insurance companies don%26#039;t allow for dental implants...since they are cosmetic and cosmetic procedures are never covered by the average carrier.
So to be safe, plan on the minumum of $2,000 which will be allowing for extractions and prepping of your gums before you even get the implants. Also take into consideration that it will be almost about three to four MONTHS before you start to see any decent results.
Cosmetic dentistry is NOT a fast nor overnight adventure, so if you think you%26#039;ll set an appointment, go in get teeth pulled, and have implants or dentures cast and set the same day...think again. Cosmetic dentistry is a step-by-step process, and the more rushed you are the greater the chances for incorrect or ill-fitting dentures to be made and stuck with....so plan on taking vacation time, or sick leave or some kind of recovery time, from your job, social and family celender....becuase you WILL need it.
Good Luck, and hoped this helped.
Reply:nahh i dont think anyone would care if they were fake or not
Reply:OOOOO i know you must be self confident of this, but false teeth aren%26#039;t the way to go. Ask your dentist there must be a way to whiten them. Who cares if it freaks people out. If it does then they are not worth your time.
Reply:Try Veneers, they are supposed to be cutting edge. See a really good Dentist about them.
Reply:WHY WOULD YOU LET THAT GET TO YOU IF YOU HAVE A GREAT PERSONALITY THEN EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE
Reply:come on they are jus your teeth, mostly wat matters is your personality not looks.
Reply:My friend is only 30 and has all false teeth, but his teeth were horrible. It changed his life for the better. No one even knows there fake unless he shows you. I don%26#039;t think a dentist will pull your teeth for cosmetic purposes only. You have to have a legit reason. They should be able to do somthing to whiten them.
Reply:False teeth are usually very nice white teeth. No one will know the difference except for your mate, and if that is a problem with him, then he is not worthy of u.
