I have very little enamel on my teeth and they are yellow

Q. I have very little enamel on my teeth and my teeth are extremely yellow (embarrassing). I have been advised that the yellow may be the colour of the dentine in my teeth showing through. Is there any way i can whiten my teeth without expensive veneers? Thanks for your help.

A. A cheaper option is to have your enamel replaced with composite filling material.   The end results can be very good but they tend not to last as long as porcelain veneers
