Cosmetic dentistry: is there anywhere online where i can post a pic of my teeth and get advice?

See a Dentist: Best to see a dentist who is familiar with many types of cosmetic procedures, so that you can make an appropriate choice. The dentist can check your bite and dental health, which will help to determine the optimal treatment. Advice without the proper information is at best guessing.

RealSelf: I also answer patient questions on another forum. Patients often post their photos for some input on cosmetic options. Visit e here: http://www.Realself.Com/find/colorado/lakewood/cosmetic-dentist/scott-greenhalgh. (make sure to take a very clear photo at as high of resolution as possible). It's better to have a consultation with a cosmetic dentist to address all of your concerns.

Not that I know: I know of several software progams that allow such "photo shopping" of before and after of potential cosmetic dental treatment, but all require a visit to the dentist. Actually this isn't such a bad idea as you can see from one of my actual cases , that all we needed to do was some minor gum surgery to reveal this young woman's hidden smile! a visit to the dentist will give you options!

Yes: Email a picture to your prosthodontist's website or facebook page.

Very Limiting: The dentist really needs to exam you personally to get the details that a picture cannot tell them.

It is possible, but: There are websites and portals that will allow an image to be uploaded. These images can provide some information for someone to comment on. More often then not, the single photo is not enough information to make a clear and complete recommendation. The only was to get a clear idea of what is necessary to satisfy your needs is to make an appointment with a dentist, and have a frank conversation.

Possibly...: However, a pic does not show every variable needed to provide you with the best series of options for advice. I realize many patients want to save money and perhaps get free advice. But there are limitations to what you have presented and it may lead to advice which is not best. I highly recommend that you see a dentist you can trust on this. If you have no dentist you can search online reviews.

See DDS: Need to contact your dentist. Many offices can do a virtual mockup with your photograph as requested. This will give you the opportunity to discuss all options with your dentist.
