Q. Hi Dr Kailesh After wearing braces as a teenager on top and bottom, I have been left with badly marked teeth giving them a very uneven look. There are white marks on each tooth making the rest of the tooth look discoloured. I spoke to my Dentist about options and she tried to discourage me from Veneers (I left thinking that the process was to drill the teeth down to a peg then fit over a whole crown!) She has suggested to try Whitening but am I correct in thinking that if the whole tooth is whitened then the white patches will also whiten? I am not looking for a dazzling white smile, I simply want my teeth to look even again. Please can you let me know what you would advise. I would also like to know what I should expect to pay for Veneers or if they are available on the NHS. Thanks ever so much in advance for any advice you can offer.,
