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.

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.

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.

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.

Q. I have been a sufferer of bulimia nervosa for about 8 years now and have suffered very severe enamel erosion as a result of it – I haven’t been to see the dentist in a long time because I know my mouth is a disaster area and until I have managed to recover I don’t want any dental work done that I might later wreck again. I imagine my mouth is full of cavities etc so that will have to be treated and I was also wondering what the cost of cosmetic treatment would be? At the very least I would guess I need crowns on upper front teeth (front 6 at least) because they are transparant at the edges – every tooth in my mouth has a greyish discolouring where my teeth are turning transparant at the tips and are mostly yellow everywhere else so I will most likely need cleaning and whitening too. Could you estimate the cost of this treatment? Is treatment even possible do you recon? Thank you for your time.
A. I have experience treating patients with severe loss of enamel due to various types of acid damage. Often crowns are required due to enamel damage on the inside surfaces of the teeth. Due to the tongue position when you are being sick the damage is often limited to the upper teeth. Treatment in the past has cost from £6000 depending on how many teeth need to be treated. I also make a mouth guard that you can wear to protect your teeth during your illness. Please visit me for a free consultation if you wish to discuss this further.

Q. Hiya, my teeth developed without the enamel being there when i was younger and i’ve been left with ugly discoloured teeth. Am i still able to have my teeth whitened?
A.
If you have amelogenesis imperfecta it is unlikely that bleaching will help. You will need some type of porcelain restoration to replace your missing enamel

Q. After two nights using NiteWhite ACP 22% I noticed white stains on my teeth. Should I continue with the whitening or will the white stains get even worse and more noticeable? How can I get rid of these white stains? Is it possible to get an even color now or are these white stains staying ? Can the dentist get rid of them ?
A. The white stains are areas of enamel that were white before you started treatment but at a level that was not noticable. They become more pronounced during treatment but blend back in once bleaching is stopped

Q. hi, im thinking of getting the replacement veneers. i had them for 15 yrs now. i was wondering, is it a good thing for a dentist to whiten my teeth (ones that have veneers) before placing the new veneers. some dentist said that it’s a good idea because it would deminish the grayish effect after the veneer is placed. and wont make my teeth very sensitive since it’s been grinded due to veneers?
A. Whitening is more for the teeth without veneers if you do like their colour get whitening then have the veneers replaced.

Q. One of my front teeth is grey but it is still alive. The tooth is not stained; the discolouration has happened as a result of bleeding inside the tooth. Is there a method of whitening the inside of the tooth (as I presume whitening the outside of the tooth is pointless). I do not want to have veneers. I would be grateful for your opinion? Thank you for your time.
A. You need the tooth to be assessed with an x-ray if it has darkened it could be due to previous accident where the tooth was knocked. The inside can be cleaned out often needing a root canal treatment and then whitened.

Q. Dear Dr. Patel, How will teeth whitening affect on teeth where there are used composite, like front teeth? Will you get a different in “whiteness”? Do you rather have to place lumineers to avoid this? Thank you for taking your time. Best regards,
A. Composites often need to be replaced after whitening you don’t always need to have veneers unless you really don’t like the colour and shape of your teeth.

Q. One of my 15 year old daughter’s front teeth is dark grey. Her dentist says it is as a result of bleeeding inside the tooth, but it is still alive and recommended tooth whitening (smile-x) on just that one tooth. The tooth is not stained; the discolouration has happened inside of the tooth and so I don’t see how whitening the outside of the tooth will help. Is there any method of possibly whitening the inside of t
he tooth? I do not want her to have veneers. What is your opinion? Thank you for your time.
A. You cannot have internal bleaching on a tooth that has not had root canal treatment. I recommend you have this tooth x-rayed and ask your dentist to do a pulp test. If the reason for the tooth discolouration is internal bleeding, the tooth is definately dead. In this case it need to have a Root Canal, you then can try internal bleaching.

Q. Hie Doc. Wich is the best tooth paste i can use to whiten my teeth,they are not in a bad state,but i feel they need some whitening.I bought BLANX just two days ago and i wonder if it can do an good.Please help.
A. Whitening toothpastes have limited whitening effects the best way is too professionally whiten your teeth through your dentist. Some whitening toothpastes can be abrasive and cause damage to your teeth.

Q. Hello I had bulimia in the past and my teeth are heavily damaged, the front teeth especially have lost enamel and left ugly yellow marks that brings down my confidence. I am considering teeth whitening. Would this make the yellow marks disappear? Thank you for your time
A. I have treated a number of bullimic patients and if all the enamel has been removed the teeth will not whiten, better option is bonded fillings or porcelain veneers or crowns.
