I have white spots (fluorosis ?) on my two front teeth. It's something that has been bothering me since my teens. After a handful of consultations with cosmetic dentists in the bay area, I was convinced that veneers are my only option.
After speaking to Dr. Chiem, she gave me three options, discussed pros and cons, and pretty much told me that I have a great smile and beautiful teeth. These are her words, " I would hate to put veneers on you. In fact, it would pain me to shave away healthy enamel."
I opted for the more conservative and cost friendly procedure. Instead of drilling the whole front of my tooth, she shaved away only the fluorosis very slightly and bonded to it. The results are EXACTLY what I wanted! It looked so natural. I can't even tell that there are fillings on my two front teeth. The color and texture is PERFECT!
I am so happy I held out for the right dentist. Dr. Chiem is the BEST!!! She really watches out for your best interest!
