Am I correct to say that Enlighten did not whiten all teeth?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q. I have used the Enlighten whitening system for two weeks at home and have had the hour in surgery boosts but have found that half of each tooth has whitened at the other half (nearest the gum) has not. My dentist told me there was no difference but I insisted that there was and have been given another syringe and been told to continue treatment for another two weeks. Is it safe to continue? Would you have expected better results? What do I say if it doesn’t work again? Many thanks,
A. Everyone’s teeth are different so you cannot compare any two peoples teeth to each other Especially when it comes to whitening. I am lucky, I need only two days of home bleaching to get my teeth looking bright. Many people also have an unrealistic expectation of how bright their teeth may become. If you are looking for fridge white/ hollywood smile then I have bad news.. no-ones teeth can whiten to those colours without veneers or crowns. It is safe to continue whitening however.Justin Glaister

How can I recapture tooth colour after whitening has faded?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q. i chose to use the enlighten teeth whitening evoloution system to whiten my teeth.i completed this in septmeber my question is that after wearing the trays and gel for 14 nights i went to my dentist on day 15 but instead of the 2 20 minute sessions at the s dentist she gave me the gel to do it at home. i have since read that she should have done this and used a light during the process. although at the time i was happy with the results i have noticed that my teeth are not as white as they were and i have some dark staining to the back of my bottom teeth ( I drink both tea and coffee) would my results have lasted longer if she had completed the treatment rather than me doing it at home. what would you suggest i do to get my teeth back to the colour they were. thanks,
A. Thanks for your questions, I would recommend that initially you speak to your dentist about your concerns. I would then advise that you obtain a couple of additional Enlighten home whitening syringes from the dentist to use for consecutive days. This should improve the results substantially. I wish you well with this.Kind regardsDr Kailesh solanki

What teeth whitening would suit somone who has smoked in the past?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q. I was a smoker for 4 years. I quit and now need my teeth whitening. How much would it cost and which form is the most effective?? Thanks,
A. Hi Caz, There are many teeth whitening products available, and after trialling many of these systems, I tend to recommend the Enlighten Deep Bleaching systems to my patients. With the correct use of this product all patients should acheive a B1 result. I also recommend the Zoom Advanced Power system to my patients who required a quick instant results system. Many Thanks.

Can old age person have dental implants and teeth whitening?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. Hello, my mother who is 76 wants to have her front teeth made less prominent.she has been told by her dentist that dental in plants would help and also to have teeth whitening. I was woundering if porcelain cosmetic crownds would be just as good, also cheaper.

A. This may be the case if the teeth underneath are healthy and the gum health is good.  A diagnostic waxup to assess the position of teeth will be necessary before proceeding – hope this helps

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I have no bad teeth, but I ahve two bridges as some gaps needed to be covered some years ago ( large gaps since childhood), and the bridge is porcelaine. Which tooth whitening option would be the best for me ? Your answer will be much be appreciated.

A. If you have your teeth whitened then the porcelain will not change colour if you are happy with this than go ahead otherwise you need to factor into your budget having the bridges replaced after the whitening.

How good is white filling to have tooth whitened

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Q. Hi i have had root canal in one of my front teeth and it has become slightly grey,my dentist told me the only way to whiten it is to bleach it internally but theres no way i can afford it.is it possible to have a white filling in the front tooth instead and would this have a whitening effect?

A. The white filling would let the grey colour shine through so it doesn’t work too well

Need to straighten and whiten my teeth

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q. I am 46. I have recently noticed my teeth are discolouring. I dont smoke or drink fizzy drinks, but I am a coffee (not tea) drinker. I roughly drink around 4 cups per day. The tooth next to my front left is a milk tooth with a tiny filling, and the one next to that is slightly twisted. I would like to know the following pls. (a) can I have whitening treatment that would include a milk tooth? (b) to straighten the slightly twisted tooth, how much would that cost? Thank You

A. Thanks for your questions, it is possible to have teeth whitening treatment, despite the fact that you still have one of your baby teeth. However it is also possible that this tooth may not whiten as much as your permanent adult teeth. In respect of the teeth straightening treatment, there are many systems available today, with different benefits, with systems that are virtually invisible to systems whioch work in as little as six weeks. The cost of straightening will vary between systems and practices, however I can tell you that I currently offer teeth straightening from £999, with the option of interest free monthly payments available. I hope this information will help, but encourage you to contact me again should you require further assistance.

The new veneers look great but they are off colour

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q. Hi there i just have had 2 veneers fitted to my 2 front teeth, and i love the size and shape.. just not mad for the colour as i feel i have darkened and lost my original whiteness, even tho i never really had the whitest teeth to begin with. hope this makes sense, what can i do now?

A. Thanks for your questions, if the colour of the veneers does not match your natural teeth, I would recommend that you return to your clinician to discuss possible replacement of the veneers. However if they do match, the only answer would be to have teeth whitening (which would not change the colour of the veneers) and then have the veneers remade to match the whitened shade. I would however expect that if the latter is true you would be charged for this service. I hope this helps.

Cost to fix uneven teeth and also to whiten them?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Q. I am 46 year old and have alway hated my uneven teeth. I hate having my photo taken and I have wanted to have vaneers on them for years. I think that i need at least eight and teeth whitening to make them look better. Can you tell me how much this procedure would cost. Thank you

A. It dependson how crooked your teeth I often carry out some short term straightening of your teeth first and would then place veneers as this minimises the removal of your natural teeth.  You need to find a good cosmetic dentist and have an assessment.

How does teeth whitening work with a crown in place?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q. I wanted to get my teeth whitened but i have a crown on my right front tooth and on my left front tooth the anamel wore away really bad so my dentist put some sort of layer on top of it , can i still whiten my teeth and if i do will it change the color of my crown?

A. Thanks for your question, whitening procedures will only whiten your natural tooth tissue. Therefore any restorations which you have had placed in the past would remain the same colour. When my patients, who have a crown or veneer wish to whiten their teeth, they would normally have the restorations replaced afterwards. I hope this helps.

Is teeth whitening provide long lasting result?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q. MY TEETH ARE REALLY YELLOW IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT AFTER HAVING THE TEETH WHITENING PROCESS THEY MIGHT NOT CHANGE COLOUR, AND CAN YOU CHOOSE WHETHER YOU HAVE THE SURGERY WHITENING OR THE HOME-MADE TRAYS?

A. Thanks for your questions, with the latest teeth whitening products available from your dental professional, you should expect your teeth to whiten noticably. Although the dentist will advise you of the best whitening products they offer, the choice of home kits or in surgery procedures should be your own. I hope this helps.
Many thanks
