My teeth are yellow again even after having my teeth whitenened, why has this happened?

Monday, May 24th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Kailesh Solanki, I had my teeth whitened last week using the Enlighten system. After the treatment my teeth looked really white and I was really pleased with the result. Anyway a week on, my teeth are yellow again. They are almost back to the same shade as before I had the treatment done. I am feeling very disheartened. I am wondering if there is any reason why they are returning to the original shade when I have been looking after my teeth and using the home care kit? Kind Regards,

I was told that braces wouldn’t fix my teeth due to the shape of my gums, what can I do?

Q.
I grew up with buck teeth. The dentist said braces wouldnt fix it due to the shape of my gums. Is there anything medically that can be done to reshape gums or straighten teeth like that?,

Is it difficult to colour match with a crown when only doing one front tooth?

Monday, May 24th, 2010
Q.
I broke my front tooth completely in half when I was about 8 yrs. old (I’m 39 now). A root canal was performed on the tooth, and bonding was done to repair the break. The tooth has a grey look to it now, and I went to the dentist today to check into having the bonding redone. The dentist told me that he would never do bonding on the tooth to change the cosmetic appearance, because of the fact that I had the root canal. He said the bonding would still look grey. He suggested a crown, but I’ve read that it’s very difficult to do a color match with a crown when only doing one front tooth. What would you suggest?,

I have a large hole in my front tooth, how much is it going to cost to have it fixed?

Monday, May 24th, 2010
Q.
I have a tooth in front that has a big hole on the surface, it doesn’t hurt or anything like that. It’s just not very attractive. I want to get it fixed but because the hole is pretty big I fear that it will be taken out. Can they fill the whole or something like that? If so about how much will it cost.,

There is a problem with my CEREC crown, can you give me some advice?

Monday, May 24th, 2010
Q.
I had a cerec crown fitted last October on my lower mouth, right hand side. I told my dentist it was niggling me and didn’t feel right. He gave me a course of antibiotics. On the next visit I told him it was still the same and he gave me a stronger course of antibiotics. In December I told him it was the same and after an xray he told me everything looked fine and their was no sign of infection. Seven months down the line and I could pull my tooth out. It is so uncomfortable and I can feel pain when my jaws close. I also have movement with the tooth. I have explained all this to my dentist and he told me that it’s impossible for me to feel pain as I also had root canal in the same tooth. I had a cerec crown fitted on my lower left side (without root canal) in December and it has never bothered me so I know something is not right. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.,
