Can someone in the Charlotte area recommend a good tmj specialist?

Q.

A. I cannot recommend a good TMD specialist...but I do commend you for your concern. This is one of the most abused areas in dentistry and a lot of folks are scammed by dentist looking to make a fast buck. Be very careful and if the dentist seems to know 'all' the answers...beware! Nobody knows all the answers with TMD, it is comparable to lower back pain and MD's. Good Luck

What can I expect with porcelain veneers?
Q. I'm considereing getting porcelain veneers & I'm wondering:

- About how much they will cost

- How long they will last

- Is the procedure painful

- Where can I find a good costemic dentist (I live in Charlotte, NC)

A. veneers can cost $1,000 + per tooth depending on who does them, and the brand they use.
the procedure is not painful, although may cause some sensitivity, because the dentist will grind into your teeth to attached the crown. keep in mind that veneers are something that you will have to maintain for a lifetime, because once they have been placed you will no longer be able to use your natural teeth.
they are usually replaced every 10-15 years due to staining, cracking, damage, etc.
research cosmetic dentists in your area.
go in for an initial appointment and the treatment coordinator will give you a treatment plan with estimated costs.
keep in mind that insurance does not usually cover any costs pertaining to veneers.
