A. You could try to ask your dentist to bleach the tooth althoughthis won’t give you the best result, alternatively you could think about a crown or veneer

Q. Im a 23yr old ex smoker and i have some tooth staining but recently i have become paraniod that it is becoming more noticable. It also seems to vary from day to day and can often be alot worse in the mornings, with brown/yellow marks on my teeth but by the evening be whiter again. Would bleeching be an option?, it really only seems to affect my upper two front teeth. I have been looking into Veneers but obviously they can be very expensive.
A. A stain that varies during the day may be a deeper characteristic in the enamel rather than a surface stain. If the tooth dries out the enamel may be more frosted and appear whiter. IF this applies in your case then Veneers would give a better result. ( guide price £350-800 per tooth )

Q. hi,i would love to have my teeth whitened but am concerned because i had a gap filled between my two front teeth. will the bleach weaken the filling?
A. The whitening will not weaken the filling- but you need to be aware that the filling won’t lighten like the rest of your teeth. This may make the filling stand out and appear darker. You will probably need to have it replaced to match the others though.

Q. Dear Dr. Solanki, I have been told I have tetracycline stained teeth due to acne treatment. I had Zoom whitening treatment almost 2 years ago which did lighten them somewhat but the effect did not last. I have trays to use at home ‘nitewhite’16% (now out of date). How often should I have used the home treatment (I sleep badly so prefer not to use them at night), I did not want to use them often as I worry that I will harm my teeth/gums. Does whitening actually work on tetracycline staining and if so how often is it safe to have the treatment? Alternatively is there a more effective treatment than Zoom. I don’t want to go down the Laminate route due to expense and damage to teeth. I will be most grateful if you would advise me. Kind regards
A. hi many thanks for your enquiry, whitening has been found to work on tetracycline teeth, i have actually done some cases myself and have had good results. the best whitening treatment on the market in my opinion is a system called enlighten, which is a home whitening treatment eight hours a night for 14 consecutive nights treatment followed by one hour insurgery treatment. you may require 3 or 4 episodes of this treatment to get a good result so carrying out the whitening over a longer period of time ie 6-8 weeks.
alternatively you could have a few episodes of the zoom2 treatment over again a few months to help improve the colour.
the ultimate treatment would be to couple the zoom2 whitening with the enlighten treatment to try to maximise the beneifts of both treatments.
hope this is helpful.

Q. hi i am having my teeth whitened at my dentists using the bleaching method and i am just wondering if i should stop drinking tea and if you could recommend any hot drinks that wont stai my teeth thanks
A.
Hi,
If you consume a high volume of coloured food and drinks such as Tea, coffee, red wine and curry etc your teeth whitening results will not last as long as someone who does not consume all of these things.
By cutting down the amount of tea you drink, your whitening results will for sure last longer. Herbal teas that are light in colour such as camomile tea will stain your teeth less than original tea.
A lot of my patients do not want to change their diet to keep there teeth white. A way around this is to have some home whitening trays made. These trays allow you to top u the whiteness of your teeth whenever you feel necessary. You simply apply the whitening solution your dentist will provide you with into the trays and wear them for 2 hours.
I hope this has been of help to you.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards

Q. Hi, I had a root filling in one of my front teeth about a year and a half ago. My tooth is now grey and extremely noticable. Is there anything I can do about it as its constantly on my mind and Im really self conscious about it?
A. There a lots of things you can do in this situation
Internal bleaching is carried out on teeth that have a good quality root filling and only a moderate restoration but have discoloured. This procedure can often improve the appearance several shades. a veneer is sometimes used if a further improvement is needed
A crown is an alternative on heavily restored teeth.
some practices like ours offer a free initial consultation with a dentist to help assess the best option in individual cases.

Q. Hi, I have had a root canal done about 13 years ago on one of my front teeth. Now, I am starting to see discoloration, and the tooth has a very little chip (which can’t really be seen). My question is do you have any suggestions what I can do to fix this problem of discoloration? Crown? Venners? Also, the rest of my front teeth are very thin on the bottom, also translucent. Do you what that may be from, and how can i avoid having problems with those teeth in the future? I just think that those teeth may be more prone to cracking? Is that true? Thank you very much for answering my questions.
A. Hello
The discoloured root treated tooth could be bleached from the inside to improve its colour or covered with a veneer.
The translucency could be due to tooth wear or erosion. Chat to your dentist and see what he thinks

Q. Are there any risks to a Lupus sufferer wishing to have tooth whitening? I am currently not taking any medication.
A. Its not specifically excluded but you should take care to avoid solutions that are too strong and ensure close fitting trays, I would avoid ” power ” treatments.

Q. Dear Dr, I have problem with my teeth color, form my childhod my teeth color is changed, i treated many times by using whitening bleach, but not changed, Dr advised me to crown my all teeth,so i need ur advice. thanks waiting for quick respose
A. Don’t crown your teeth. I’m sure the colour can be changed using veneers. Unfortunately whitening does not get rid of all types of stains. I would advise you to go and see a a cosmetic dentist and enquire about veneers

Q. Hi, I’m having yellowish teeth since i was young due to antibiotic medicines i took. I tried whitening toothpaste & treatment but seems can;t work. I’ve read about veneer treatment. is it the only option i have? how about laser treatment? what is the pros & cons?
A. Tetracycline staining is all the way through the tooth. Long term bleaching can substantially improve things. Bleaching can be a combination of home bleaching and “laser” bleaching. In my practice we only carry out home tray bleaching with a surgery visit of slightly stronger bleach placed in the tray – I have my doubts as to whether laser bleaching is really effective.
However veneers will provide you with a good end result immediately. The down side for veneers is that a surface layer of tooth needs to be removed ( 0.5 to 0.7 mm especially if the staining is dark) . If the teeth are in good alignment there usually are minimal problems with this technique – years down the line you will need them replaced with more veneers. If the teeth are in poor alignment there is a chance that root treatment may be required if the neves of the teeth are damaged. In this instance I would advise some form of brace work prior to veneers to minimise the damage done to the teeth.
I have treated many people this way very successfully but the important thing is that you realise that once your teeth are veneered there is no going back.

Q. Hi My teeth have been bleached and are whiter than B1 – they match the first new ‘bleached shade’. I have two teeth that have been cosmetically bonded with B1 resin but these now look ‘yellow’ compared to the others.My dentist says he cannot find a supplier of the composite resin to match the bleached shades. I know cosmetic dentists can obtain bleached shade resin – can you tell me where my dentist can obtain this from. Many thanks
A. Try optident

Q. Hi I was hoping you could give me an idea of what the best way of sorting out my smile would be and maybe a rough idea of how much it would cost. When i was younger my third tooth i think its called the canine grew twisted and closer to the front than it should have because of this my second tooth never grew so now i have one tooth in the middle of where two teeth should be with gaps on both sides. i don’t mind if my rogue tooth needed to be removed for the best results. But i would like to be able to smile properly as quickly and cheaply as possible as it is really beginning to get me down. Thank you in advance for your help & advice I look forward to hearing from you.
A.
Check out some dentists in your area that offer a free initial consultation, You should be able to get some rough prices for veneers, bridges, cosmetic bonding, or orthodontics (braces ) then balance the cost with the speed and the “smile” result.
Cheap & fast but ? result in your case would be cosmetic bonding.

Q. There are numerous types of dentistry whitening methods available.. Which is the most effective? and cost?
A. Bleaching relies on exposure of the tooth to oxygen from a chemical ( carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide). In my surgery we use a combination of home bleaching and power whitening to produce the best end result.

Q. Hi I would likt o get my teeth whitened but i have two crowns at the front of my teeth. Is it a waste of time getting my teeth done as the caps will not whiten. What oter options do i have. Regards
A.
Only your natually teeth will whiten with teeth whitening. The only option for having whiter crowns is to replace them after you have the whitening done to new shade you acheive with whiteing your natural teeth.
