Is There Any Way I Can Dull My Tooth Colour a Bit?

Wednesday, March 11th, 2015
Q.

I whitened my teeth with 3 weeks of wearing Zoom! in trays from my dentist. It was following Invisalign treatment. I have extremely pale English skin and I feel that I have ‘over-whitened’ my teeth so that the shade does not look natural against my colouring. My teeth were quite yellow before so it’s a huge contrast and I wish I had not whitened them for long and gone for a more natural creamy shade that complements my skin tone better. It’s 4 months since I whitened them and they are still looking very ‘bright’ and too white! I know that the effects of whitening will fade a bit over time but is there anything I can do to give them a more creamy natural shade, or how long will it take for the ‘brightness’ to dull down a bit? A year, 2-5 years? I realise I’m here with a different issue than most people but I do think skin tone is a very important consideration in getting a pleasing natural shade – not just matching to the whites of your eyes. Thanks.

Which is Better: Zoom! or Enlighten Whitening?

Thursday, February 19th, 2015
Q.

Hello! Just a quick question about 2 tooth whitening systems. Now my dentist is about to whiten my teeth, and he uses the Philips Zoom! Nite White system. However, I am questioning whether this system is as good as the Enlighten Deep Bleaching system. I was wondering if you could give me the ins and outs of both, as although I do trust my dentist, I accept that he may be biased towards the system he uses. Any advice on these 2 systems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is It Possible To Wear The Home Tooth Whitening Kits During The Day? I Have Problems Wearing My Trays During The Day.

Tuesday, July 29th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I am in my sixties and have had Zoom done with no noticeable results. I would not be happy with very white teeth, so my question is: is it possible to use Enlighten just in my home to my desired level of whiteness? I have problems wearing my trays at night, so could I do it for just an hour during the day?

If this is not possible, in your opinion, what is the best at home bleaching product for using during the day please? Thank you.

I Clench My Teeth At Night. Do Metal-Backed Crowns Cause Less Wear Than Porcelain Ones?

Thursday, June 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I need 6 front upper crowns (that are 25 years old and metal backed) replaced as one has chipped. Is it true that metal backed crowns cause less wear on opposing bottom teeth (which are quite worn) than fully porcelain ones? I thought having metal backed crowns was now dated? I also apparently grind/clench my teeth at night.

Also is a home whitening system over 2-3 weeks more effective than in surgery zoom as my dentist doesn’t offer zoom due to some EU regulations and says home kit is better?

Should I Get My Teeth Whitened Before My Bonding Work?

Wednesday, May 29th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr, my question is one of a purely cosmetic nature, so not particularly urgent. Basically, three of my front teeth are chipped (1 on top and 2 on the bottom (tiny ridges).  I am going in for cosmetic bonding but before I go in for bonding, they suggested I get my teeth zoomed. Should I get them zoomed or should I get the strips? My teeth are not really dull in color but it will just give me a brighter smile with the new bonded teeth. My teeth are not very sensitive and I can’t afford veneers. Just wondering what you would say is the best option for me now because I don’t particularly want to be paying more money than I need to.

Is it worth having my teeth whitened by a dentist – rather than at home and are there any differences in sustained results?

Monday, March 14th, 2011
Q.

Hello

I have had teeth whitening done in the past. It was a home whitening procedure that I purchased from the dentist. However, I was not satisfied with the result. Rather than making my teeth whiter it simply made then brighter (as in shiny). At most I would say they were 1 shade whiter (in fact I did not even have to change my crown as the result was not that great.) My teeth are not yellow but I would like a whiter smile.
I have seen pictures of people who have had whitening procedures and in-between top ups (the 2 year period) they seem to have really yellow teeth. I was wondering if I have another procedure done such as zoom/laser whitening would my teeth become more yellow than they are now in a few years time once the procedure has worn off? And once I have the procedure done would it mean that I would have to keep it up i.e. if I have it done once in the long run will it make my teeth look worse?

Many Thanks
