Can hyaluronic acid lip fillers be removed 3 days after injections due to unwanted results?

Excellent question and I understand your concerns. First of all, if it’s only 2 days you may have swelling from bruising and not from the hyaluronic acid. I would wait two weeks to see the final results and then reevaluate. If after that you still don’t like the results then it can be removed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Results and disappearance rates may vary. Please see a qualified injector to perform this treatment.
Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your photo, and I appreciate your question.
My immediate response is to say- no extractions. The best treatment that I can recommend without seeing you in person is for orthodontic correction of your crowded teeth and bite. This, and perhaps teeth whitening may be enough to give you a really pretty smile. Please see your dentist and an orthodontist to evaluate your treatment options.
Best of luck!

Is it possible to get veneers to correct posterior open bite?

Thank you for your question. Veneers cannot correct posterior open bite, but could be used to correct an anterior open bite. It sounds like the fillings were made too short and the teeth lost contact. But also, have you been wearing your orthodontic retainers? If not, your teeth may have shifted. It sounds like you need an in-person exam. Please return to your dentist and orthodontist to identify the specific problems.
Best of luck!

Wow! Lots of questions.
One in-office treatment may not be enough for your particular stains, and oftentimes the teeth color comes back after a couple days, partly. What is causing the stains on your teeth? Because some stains cannot be removed by teeth whitening alone, such as tetracycline staining. You can try white strips but they only cover the front six to eight teeth. The best home method is with custom trays made by a dentist. These trays will cover all the…

Dental implants. Is this a very painful procedure?

Great question. With proper local anesthesia and sedation techniques, dental implants should never be painful. Also, the surgeon that places the implants should always be treating the area gently and with good follow up care. Oftentimes, it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it.
We always hear about the bad experiences, which many times are avoidable. Pick your surgeon carefully, and get multiple opinions when you can.
Best of luck!

Excellent question.
Yes, you can as long as it’s carefully planned by the orthodontist, implant surgeon, and restorative dentist. Dental implants can be an effective anchor to support orthodontic teeth movement. My team works together for a comprehensive plan utilizing three dimensional imaging, and models, for the optimal treatment. Good luck in finding your comprehensive dental team.
Best of luck!

Can I get teeth whitening on a build up tooth?

Excellent question.
If there’s natural tooth around the build up you can whiten that, but not the build up material, sorry.
An in-person exam is the best way to go, please see a dentist with experience in the cosmetic field.
Best of luck!
