I need bridges, but I can’t get my teeth whitened before they’re fitted. Will the porcelain react with the bleach?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
In around 5 weeks I will have porcelain bridges fitted after 18 months in braces, I have had these removed and now have retainers with plastic teeth in to maintain the gaps. My question is if I have my teeth bleached in the future will the porcelain bridges react and match with the bleach. If not what are my alternatives? I am in the forces and they would not bleach prior to matching for the bridges for cost reasons.,

My veneer, fitted twelve years ago, doesn’t look natural. Will my current dentists replace it?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
I need to have my one venner (front top) replaced. It isn’t very natural both in colour in shape and was done by my dentist 12 years ago. Should I get my normal dentist to do it again or do I go to one of the specialist cosmetic dentists like your own? I often stop myself smiling because my current veneer is so unnatural – I just want a good reasonably priced job.,

Are there any other discreet alternatives to invisalign braces?

Friday, July 30th, 2010
Q.
Hello there, i really need to straighten my teeth, however i dread to have conventional braces as I am at an age which i think it will look embarassing! I work in a senior role which involves presentations and I am becoming very conscious about my teeth, I had braces when i was young but my dentist did not do a good job! I am thinking invisalign, i did visit one dentist and he said it would not be possible with my teeth without a good reason. Waht do i do, are there any other discreet options. Help please. Thanks,
