Does teeth whitening weaken or damage your teeth?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor
Does teeth whitening weaken or damage your teeth in any way and would you recommend it for any age? I am 53 and am considering having four porcelain crowns at the front but I would like my teeth whitened first and then have the new crowns match them. I am concerned that I may be damaging my teeth by having them whitened. And as my teeth aren’t naturally white does the whitening fade and if so how often would I need to have the treatment?
Thank you for your time

I am looking for a Hollywood smile, are they available on a payment plan?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

Good evening, I’m based in the Bristol area, and; I’m looking to get a hollywood smile.
I’m an actor/model and I know I’m missing out on roles and castings because of my teeth.
I’d like to know the lowest monthly payment plan for cosmetic dentistry.

I would need re-allignment/straightening/braces extraction, veneers and most likely white fillings.

I realize it’s hard for you to answer my question without a consultation, but I would prefer to know how much a monthly plan would be, so I know whether I can afford treatment- and avoid wasting your time.
Sincerely,

Can you whiten tetracycline stains?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

i had Tetracycline for tonsilitis as a child, I hate my teeth, all my family have white teeth but me & also still have my tonsils-which at my age are still irritating. Which are the best option for healthy teeth wishing they were pearly-whites like rest of my familys’. I am embarrassed @ most first meetings with people especially if they meet my sister then I feel they are asking themselves why doesn’t she have nice white teeth?

Home teeth whitening kit has left my teeth blotchy. What could this be?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

I recently purchased teeth whitening from my dentist. I had custom trays and was informed to bleach overnight. after a couple of days my normally even teeth became a bit whiter but much more uneven. I was away on business so called the dentist and they said to keep going and it should even out. But since I was not at home near my dentist i didn’t want it to get worse especially on my front teeth. My dentist suggested i continue on one back tooth and see what happens. So i continued on one tooth for about a week, but the uneveness did not go away so i did not continue with the bleaching. When I returned a week ago to show my dentist, and return the kit she said I was correct to stop and that she would call the company who provided the bleach. They said this can happen sometimes. In any case, she said there was nothing that could be done and to leave it and not use whitening toothpastes. I am now left with patchyness which I am very aware of and bother me and miss my normal teeth and regret starting this process. Will the bleeching eventually fade and go back to how my teeth were before or am I stuck with this uneveness? It has been four months since I stopped bleaching and I don’t see any fading of the patches that are whiter than the rest of my teeth. Can you please advise? Is there anything I can do without continuing to bleach b/c i am worried to continue as worried it will get worse. is there another treatment? My dentist thought it was more likely that this was something under my teeth that has come up (don’t know if it is calcium deposits) as a result of the bleaching than uneven bleaching b/c they were custom trays. Please help! Thanks

I have had problems with my teeth for years since an infection. What can be done?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

I have had problems with my teeth for years since an infection while pregnant. My teeth have never been really white but I’ve always been told I had a nice smile. I have veneers either side of my top two front teeth. I saw the dentist today and he said my teeth are an A2 and they are not brown and he did not think they needed whitening. Is A2 a white tooth. I just have a complex these days about my teeth as I feel I’ve lost a nice smile. Also, my daughter is disabled and I clean her teeth. They are clean but food seems to stick to them. What would you recommend I use as a toothpaste (she is 13). Thank you

Generally how much do you think this would cost with the following:
a) Cosmetic Bonding
b) Veneers
c) Crowns
Is there anything else you would suggest that would be better for me to do to achieve my aim?

Thank you very much for your time.
