hi, could you tell me which whitening treatment is the best for naturally yellow teeth ? thank you

I would say its not a matter of which treatment is best but which treatment is more suited to you. In-surgery tooth whitening is a very good method to rapidly whiten the teeth, usually on average 8 shades lighter with minimal hassle to you. Customised home kits are a more slow and steady approach. It usually takes around 7-14 nights of wear to get a similar result to in-surgery whitening. However you have total control over how far to whiten the teeth and you can use them in the future if you feel the colour of your teeth has slightly dropped. If you don’t want to whiten them too much reduce the time of wear and if a really white result is desired prolonged wear can be advised. I quite often recommend a combination of both methods. This allows a quick initial result with the in-surgery whitening followed by use of the home kit as a top up and long term maintenance. I find this works well for people who want to whiten their teeth as much as possible.

I was just wondering about the price of your dental veneers per tooth. I ama 19 year old student with teeth which are yellowing. I also have a numberof cavities/fillings. I would probably only be able to afford to have my four front teeth done. Was also wondering whether you offer lumineers, as Iunderstand that these require minimal change to the actual tooth structure.Thankyou for your time.

Hi There, I’m a 21 year old student who is very insecure about my teeth and it’s always been my dream to have a set of teeth which I can smile and show off in photos and not have to worry about bad pictures. My teeth aren’t yello but hey are stained and I have pointed teeth at either side and also at the front top, it is slightly crossed over because of an accident a few years back. So basically what I was wanting to know is, rough costs!? I wouldn’t want a hollywood smile or anything but definitely a nice smile! Iam from Ayrshire so I will make a point of coming in and seeing use howeverjust wanting to get a rough idea just now!?

Hi, my dentist says my teeth will neverbe white. they are plaque stained and very yellow if not grey in some places, I do not pay for my treatment but she is asking me to pay for a new veneer for my front tooth which i had put in when i was 16 and also for a whitefilling which was done when i was 16. I clean my teeth twice daily using areputable tooth whitener and all i want is a white smile, for 15 years I have not smiled properly on photographs and all i want to do is smile 🙁 i have lost confidence in my dentist as if she cannot help me who can?

Hello, I was thinking about changing my smile for a long time, but didnt have courage to do so. Im quite satisfied with the structure of my teeth, however, I suffer from the very bad discolouration of my teeth. After my milkyteeth my permanent teeth just grew yellow. The teeth hygiene in my familywas always more than appropriate. I just wanted to know, if you could help.I was thinking about porcelain veeners for a complete smile makeover. Also, I would like to know what would be the cost of this procedure. Thank you,Regards.

hi my teeth are starting to stain a yellowish colour, and the bottom ones are misshapen, i really would like them a little streighter, i have a filling on the front of my front tooth and its turning a dark brown colour, i amreally self concious about them, and wont smile while i am out anywhere, isthere anything that could help me, that is quite quick but cheap at the same time? thank you.

I am 27. I have awful teeth is really getting my down to the extent where I have depression and have in the past considered things I wonE28099t even say as i am embarrassed. They’re yellow and bridged. I won’t go out the house unless i have to and I cover my mouth when ismile. I can’t live like this no more so wondered what options I have? I have a disability so can not work so what type of finance is there? I hate towrite so personally but i am at my wits end. I really hope you can give mesome advice. Thank you

I have to admit that I am quite scared of the dentist but I also know that I need work done to my teeth which look terrible. My front teeth are very discoloured more do than the rest of my teeth which are also stained and the one to the left of my front teeth is chipped. I don’t have any sensitivity or pain but they really do look awful. What treatments would you recommend and what would be the price of these treatments? Thank you

I cannot comment without seeing them. However I can refer you to someone (Dr. Komal Suri, Wendover) who can help you with this.

Hi, I always had very white teeth, until my mid forties, I am now approaching 57, still have good teeth, the problem, due to age and over brushing, my teeth have yellowed towards the top and whiter at the bottom. My dentist said it is a combination, age, wear on the enamal as well as over brushing. He said he is happy to supply a whitening kit that would be suitable for me. He said the treatment would last 9 to 12 months. Do you think this is a possible solution for me with the facts I have just given. Thanks a lot

I have always hated the color of my teeth which are yellowish from taking too many antibiotics as a child. Bleaching does not work. I am fifty eight and a graduate student getting my masters at Carlow University in Pittsburgh PA. I would love to have the bonding procedure but on my budget I cannot afford it. Do you know of any dental school where I might be able to have this done for free or at a considerable discount? I feel it would help my confidence so much to have a pretty smile for once in my life. I would appreciate hearing from you. Most sincerely

Unfortunately the procedure you wish to undertake is classed as a cosmetic procedure , which means a dental school would be unlikey to undertake the treatment. The only other option is to be done privately but at a cost. Regards

I was born with yellow teeth and I’m always shy to talk and smile and I have few broken teeth in the front teeth …I went to one of the dentist in my area and I can’t afford.. I hope you can help me to have a nice white smile . What I should do to solve my problem….I’m hoping to be confitend and smile and enjoy my 40’s thanks

There are two ways to whiten your teeth 1. Teeth whitening/bleaching provided by a dentist so it is safe 2. Veneers/ porcelain crowns You can read more about these procedures on this site Regards,

I would like 2 veneers to cover my 2 side teeth as i am 22 and still have a visible baby tooth, that is so small and has created a gap, the adult tooth has came in behind but im too scared to have the baby tooth pulled and dont want a brace to bring the other tooth forward, as my NHS dentist said i would have to go privately for this instead of through the NHS. I would therfor like both teeth veneered to make them slightly bigger to fill in the gap covered with a veneer to make the gap less visible. is this possible to do?

It is possible but the prognosis of the baby tooth maybe important. If this fails and needs removing it might spoil the overall look, see what your dentist says about the long-term prognosis of this tooth.

after must hestation and pushing needed i think i am ready for my teeth to have a makeover , i have smoked for 30 years and recently gave up due to pneumonia , i have straight teeth but they are badly stained due to a bad diet and a love of coffee ! is there any treatments i can have that are between 500 and 1000??

I would recommend a hygiene visit to get the teeth as clean as possible. After that try take home whitening with trays from a dentist.

I have composite veneers on some top teeth, applied 27 years ago, and 2 crowns. I would like me teeth whitened, to amtch the crowns as they aren’t too bad, and I’m not seeking a ‘Simon Cowell’ set of teeth, and the dentist is suggesting polishng off the remainder of the veneers- she says some/most has worn away anyway – then whitening all my teeth. Do you think this will be successful/safe etc etc. Many thanks

The answer to your question really depends on the thickness of the composite veneers and whether or not thay were applied only to enamel. If this is the case and almost no tooth or none was removed before placing of the composite veneers, then their removal followed by whitening would be a suitable protocol.

I am considering getting tooth veneers for some of my upper teeth. I have very badly stained, enamel damaged front teeth because of not caring for my teeth when I was younger due to illness. I am only 19, and I am worried that getting veneers so young will mean that eventually I will need crowns. I have read that each time you need to get a veneer replaced, they remove more enamel. So does this mean that I will have to have crowns on my front teeth when I am in my 50s? Thanks.

Not necessarily, but any treatment done to your teeth will need replacing at some point in your life, it depends on hpw much you want to improve the appearance of the teeth, you could consider less invasive treatment such as Invisalign braces and whitening if you’re a suitable case

hi i have problem i had broken tooth no 2 and my dentist shave it too thinly and suggested veneers but she didnt tell me how much or i have to pay for it i have working tax credit do i have to pay for veneers?

Not sure you need to speak to him to find out if it has been done on the NHs or Privately
