The edge of my capped and veneered teeth is now badly stained. Can you advise on a treatment to replace this?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
I had a cap and 4 enamel veneers fitted on the NHS about 15 years ago The edges of these are now badly stained and look awful !

My teeth are in a bad state after accident playing cricket. Could I get my lower teeth capped so they don’t protrude?

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010
Q.
Hello Many years ago I had my front four teeth skittled by a cricket ball, which resulted in me having to wear a gum stripper plate. Also the two teeth either side have been capped. My bottom teeth have started to protrude over the years, which has ment that the upper plate teeth has been adjusted also. End result is a very unhappy me, with unsightly smile.

A.
