How good is white filling to have tooth whitened

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:29:15 +0000

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

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:48:25 +0000

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

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:44:27 +0000

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.

How does teeth whitening work with a crown in place?

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:06:51 +0000

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.

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

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:08:07 +0000

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.

Teeth whitening with few veneers causes mismatch in color

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:15:48 +0000

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

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.
