White Fillings

[tt4]

Hi,
I had some white fillings at the front of my teeth and it's made the colour go a bit funny, would it be possible to have the front 4 or 6 teeth bleched or whitening?

Thanks

You can certainly consider whitening. However the colour of your fillings will not change and you may need them replacing after your teeth have been whitened

I hope this helps

Kindest regards

Have you got a rough idea or how much it would cost to have the front 6 whitend?

Also whats difference between bleeching and having whitening on the front teeth?


Thanks

[Dr Pav Khaira]

There is no difference between bleaching and whitening. The costs vay depending on which system is used and can start from as low as £175 and up to £950. Of course not all whitening options work the same hence the price differences. Generall your dentist will whiten all of your teeth

Thanks for your reply, can i just have 6 teeth done or do you have to have them all done?

thanks

If you custom tray made you can put the whitening gel only on the teeth you want whitened

if you have the stongest whitening done by a dentist will they do just a few teeth or an arch?

thanks

[Dr Pav Khaira]

The tray made will cover all or the teeth in the arch. Your dentist will show you how to apply the gel and you will be able to select which teeth you want to whiten and place the gel in those teeth only.

I hope this helps
