Can I drink coffee and red wine after having my teeth whitened

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q. Hello i am thinking of having my teeth whitened can you please tell me if you can still drink coffee and drink red wine etc and if so will it stain the whitened teeth straight away.

A. You would need to stop this ideally during and for 2 weeks after bleaching as the teeth will take up more stain during this period

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

Hi There, I have a veneer for my front tooth but not for the others and its gone slightly discoloured would I need a new veneer or could I just get whitening also I really want a white gold window as one of my teeth is slight chipped I dont want a full tooth just the outline one can you help at all?

A. You may be able to bleach the tooth but it is probable that a new veneer will be needed – you need to visit your dentist to check that the tooth is not  infected

Q. Hi there im looking to have veneers done because im not happy with my teeth i clean them everyday twice a day but they aint seem to be white im leftwith no choice can u help me please

A. Have you thought about straightening your teeth with braces – I can move teeth within months with braces that sit on the inside of your teeth.  Please contact my surgery to discuss this before having you teeth veneered

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

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.

Could you suggest any other method other than opalesense whitening and gum shields?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q. I have been using the Opalesence whitening and have been wearing the gum shields and using the gel for over a week now every other night. However my teeth are extremely sensitive at the minute and I am considering other methods. I dont notice much difference in my teeth either.

A. Hi many thanks for your email, the whitening will work it is however a time thing. if the teeth are sensitive i would use the follow regime:

do the whitening twice daily for an hour each time for two weeks you will see a definate difference.

hope this is helpful.

Should I go for whitening or veneer for the tooth which had root treatment?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q. I had root treatment on one of my front teeth years ago and the tooth has gone grey, would whitening help or would a veneer be preferable, if so how much would one veneer cost? Thanks

A. Hi many thanks for your email, the gery tooth can be treated by internal whitening but this is sometimes unpredictable and even if the tooth whitens sometimes the colour can reverse.

the veneer is more predictable and long term, the cost of a single tooth veneer can range from £500 – £1200. dependant on where you go. my charge is usually £750.

hope this is helpful.

Teeth whitening with few veneers causes mismatch in color

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q. Ive got an appointment to have my teeth whitened,via lazer and then the trays i have alot of veneres,im aware they cant be whitened wont my teeth look odd with some bright white and others yellow as i smoke what can be done about the yellow teeth ? thankyou fort your time

A.

Thanks for your questions. As you are a smoker, the use of a stain removal system by your dentist or hygienist, may improve the appearance of your veneers. However, when my patients have had veneers in the past and now wish to have their teeth whitened, they have usually made the decision to replace the veneers to match the whitened shade of the teeth. You are correct in thinking that your natural teeth and the colour of your veneers may be quite different after the procedure. I hope this helps.
Kind regards

How to whiten my teeth with veneers?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Q. Hi, I have had lumineers for about 2 years,and I had bulimia for most of that time, I noticed recently that they are yellow, especially towards the gumline, I bought white strips, but it says it doesn’t work on veneers, What is the best way for me to whiten my teeth? is it possible to whiten them? please advise. Thank you.

A. If the underlying tooth is dark it is very difficult to whiten them. Whitening gels may damage your veneers the only option may be to replace them.
