Oh, i thought you were going to ask compeltely the opposite. I thoguht that yoiu meant you didn't thnik getting retainers two weeks later is too early. Well actually, in 2 weeks, your teeth will move. a lot. when my cousin didn't wear her retainer for a bout a week, her teeth moved, and it was noticeable.

Comment on What the major steps in dental implants? by Timothy

Dental Implants and Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.

Comment on Is there any dentist out there that would be willing to do really cheap veneer? by Paul

Paul — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:31:59 +0000

lol…I think I'd pass on Dr. Sawan.

Have you checked in the the discount dental plans that are available. I signed up for one last year and it covers a lot of dentists in my area (Orlando). They don't pay for everything but they do pay for 50% to 75% of my bills (depending on what I had done). I don't know how much they will pay for veneers but it is worth checking out. I used http://dental-ppo.com to search for plans in my area. If you are in the U.S. you might want to check that out and see what is available where you live. I hope everything works out will for you.

They do, but just a tiny little bit. You probably won't even notice it. Just once you get the retainers, wear them religiously, and they will put your teeth right back where they're supposed to be and keep them there.

Comment on Is there a minimum age on getting veneers? by deputydawg4953@sbcglobal.net

deputydawg4953@sbcglobal.net — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:09:59 +0000

Sorry, but until you can give consent and pay for them, you are at the mercy of your parents.Veneers are pricey,but they can greatly improve your smile. A safe estimate would be $1000 and up per tooth(see, I did say they were expensive). There are less expensive composite resin veneers,but they tend to chip and stain and will end up costing more in replacements.If a dentist is charging less than $800 per veneer, they are using less than top quality materials and they will not hold up in the long run. Good dentistry costs money-not just because it all goes in the dentist’s pocket,either. The labs charge a ton of money for precise work ,like veneers, and it takes a certain artistic touch to do them well.Like many other things, you get what you pay for. Good luck.

Your dentist will provide the best option to cover the extraction site, to save you from any (if at all?) embarassment. The patient has to be a good candidate for teeth-in-a-day. Otherwise, normal course of implant placement surgery, sutures removal after 7-14 days, placing abutment, 3-6 months of healing process (osseointegration), and finally crowns.

It's possible, yes. I just had a temporary crown pop out and was told that waiting the two and a half weeks to get the permanent crown put in would not suffice. My teeth could and probably would shift and then I would have to have the permanent re-sized and made.
