Home teeth whitening kit has left my teeth blotchy. What could this be?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

I recently purchased teeth whitening from my dentist. I had custom trays and was informed to bleach overnight. after a couple of days my normally even teeth became a bit whiter but much more uneven. I was away on business so called the dentist and they said to keep going and it should even out. But since I was not at home near my dentist i didn’t want it to get worse especially on my front teeth. My dentist suggested i continue on one back tooth and see what happens. So i continued on one tooth for about a week, but the uneveness did not go away so i did not continue with the bleaching. When I returned a week ago to show my dentist, and return the kit she said I was correct to stop and that she would call the company who provided the bleach. They said this can happen sometimes. In any case, she said there was nothing that could be done and to leave it and not use whitening toothpastes. I am now left with patchyness which I am very aware of and bother me and miss my normal teeth and regret starting this process. Will the bleeching eventually fade and go back to how my teeth were before or am I stuck with this uneveness? It has been four months since I stopped bleaching and I don’t see any fading of the patches that are whiter than the rest of my teeth. Can you please advise? Is there anything I can do without continuing to bleach b/c i am worried to continue as worried it will get worse. is there another treatment? My dentist thought it was more likely that this was something under my teeth that has come up (don’t know if it is calcium deposits) as a result of the bleaching than uneven bleaching b/c they were custom trays. Please help! Thanks

I would like a gap closed with cosmetic bonding, veneers, crowns or teeth whitening – cost?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor,i wonder if you could help.

I would like my to get the gaps in my teeth closed, my teeth whitening and slightly shaped. I would also like both top and bottom rows done, apart from my morlars on both rows.
Generally how much do you think this would cost with the following:
a) Cosmetic Bonding
b) Veneers
c) Crowns
Is there anything else you would suggest that would be better for me to do to achieve my aim?

Thank you very much for your time.

How can I get my Crooked Teeth fixed quickly

Thursday, May 5th, 2011
Q.

I was just wondering if you can get veneers at 16 with parental permission? I am very self conscious and would like my teeth sorted before i start college in september. My bottom teeth are straight, however my top front teeth protrude and are quite crooked and some overlap eachover. I also find two of my teeth on the top to be quite fanged. I also find my teeth to be quite stained. I feel as if braces won’t sort the problem out quick enough and may also make me even more self-conscious as i am aware with of the comments that come with braces. I want to be able to smile and not be worried what people think.

Thankyou.

Will teeth whitening cause damage to my teeth in the future?

Friday, April 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I’m 16 years old and am considering paying to have my teeth whitened (mainly for cosmetic reasons, but also because I think my teeth are more yellow than most peoples, and some of my teeth vary in colour compared to the other ones and I would like to even this out), however I’m worry that starting to whiten my teeth at this age could be damaging in the long term. Will having them professionally whiten them have negative effects in the future or will they just … age as normal? :p
Thanks
