What are the best teeth whitening options for stained enamel?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Q.
My front two teeth are discouloured and it is in the enamel caused by too much floride when I was growing up. I have tried tray bleeching kits via my dentist but my teeth are still noticebaly stained. I am interested in the laser whitening but I am not sure it would work and therefore would veneers be the best option? I would like all my teeth whitened but especially my front two. Would lazer whitening work on discoloured enamel or are veneers my best bet? How much would this cost (approx)?

Do you have any advice on what i can do to help with preventing any further erosion

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Q.
i have some enamel damage to my front top teeth (the 2 middle ones and 2 either side) i have an extreme phobia of having anything done (my dentist has said they are ok for the moment but some of them have slightly changed damage from the erosion) i have one buckle filling on one of them. i would like to know roughly how much it would cost if i paid to have a general anathestic say if these teeth had to come out. i can get to the dentist but its staying in the chair as ive had a lot of bad experiences in the past (not including my present dentist) i feel as though i have developed a phobia of my teeth as i am constantly feeling and checking them convinced there is a problem. do you have any advice on what i can do to help with preventing any further erosion thanks,

A diet coke habit eroded my teeth, and I’ve had them filled. Will they get worse or will the problems stop soon?

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Q.
I have some erosion/abrasion notches on each 4th tooth back from the front (upper and lower) and some transparency on my front teeth at the bottom. I think this is from a diet coke habit which I stopped last year. Will this get progressively worse over time although I am now very careful what I eat or drink or will this now stop? Also my dentist has filled the notches with bonding but each time they fall out but she doesn’t seem concerned. Will they get worse though as there is nothing protecting them when I brush and eat? I am very worried as I don’t want my teeth to wear away any further and end up with brown horrible teeth and having to have false one’s!,

A.
It is good that you have stopp… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will bonding have bad effects on my tooth enamel?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Q.
I am considering 6 month smile treatment after rejecting Clearstep for both cost and length of treatment. Is there any possibility that this new treatment can have an adverse effect on the tooth enamel as it is ‘bonded’ onto the teeth? I’m 55 if that makes any difference.,

No the cement is removed at th… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
