I Don’t Like The Shading Of New Veneer, Is There Any Way I Can Get It The Same Shade?

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hello, I’d like to present you with a problem I’ve been having, I had my front 10 of my teeth done with dental lumineers about 5 years ago. My fourth tooth has broke on two separate occasions, so my dentist decided on a 3/4 crown. I just got the permanent one today and it looks a lot lighter – I can definitely tell, and I don’t like it, it seems like it’s doesn’t look right to me, BUT it is the furthest back pre-molar, so it’s not super obvious. My dentist who is also my Brother-in-law says that it is the exact same shade as my other teeth and will darken over time? Is this correct? Is there something I can do to speed up the process and get it to go the same shade as my other teeth? I hope you can help.

Is Microabrasion Harmful To Teeth?

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
Q.

Hi I would just like to know the possible to solutions for white spots on the tooth ? I have heard of microabrasion but the from the reviews I have seen the results do not seem promising. Are veneers necessary ? Or are there other options Available ? I have a white spot on my front tooth and I wanted to know if in the london area it is treatable ? Also is microabrasion harmful to the teeth as I know it involves shaving a layer of enamel? Are teeth a lot more sensitive as a result ? I want to have my teeth whitened but frightened that these white spots will become more apparent if I do this. Can you please advise? thank you, I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards.

My Teeth Are Turning Transparent, What Can I Do About This?

Thursday, July 4th, 2013
Q.

Dear Dr Andrew
I desperately need your advice, just recently I have noticed all my teeth are becoming transparent at the ends. I’m 42yrs old and I have had really nice lovely white teeth all my life and now I’m faced with this. I don’t know why this has happened! It’s really scaring me, I am so scared that I will loose my teeth or the color will not return. I guess my diet has affected my teeth, I drink coffee which I never used to and I have recently started a Jason Vale juicing programme. Could this be causing the problem do you think? I also drink red wine and eat a lot of homemade curries. Can you please advise on what I can do to restore my teeth to their natural color? Thank you so much in advance, I just want to get this sorted before they get any worse. Kind regards.

How Many Visits To The Dentst Does Teeth Whitening Require?

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello doctor I just want to ask you if you could possibly make my teeth white from yellow and how many visits will it require? I noticed that if I brush them like 1 to 2 months 2 times a day they become white but not bright white. I smoke a lot and I just can’t cut it and I don’t really have time to brush them or getting bored to wait for the results. I work a lot so I don’t want to have to take lots of time off work in order to have this treatment done. I don’t even know how to go about getting the treatment, I’m new to the cosmetic side of things. I just feel that it is the best option for me as I won’t have to worry about the appearance of my smile for a while then. I also want to know how much will it cost for making them white from yellow. I live in Coventry. Thanks in advance.

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.

How Can I Whiten My Naturally Yellow Teeth?

Monday, May 13th, 2013
Q.

Hello i have yellow teeth and i have had it all my life as i can remember. I think thats my natural teeth colour. I was wondering if you would kindly direct me towards the best option for whitening my teeth. Because of this problem i hardly ever smile with my teeth. My sister’s teeth are not white either but when compared with mine they look really white. Please is there anything i can do to whiten them other than bleaching? Can you recommend anything that would be very effective? Also I would add that I use arm and hammer advanced whitening, do you think that would at all be useful for my teeth? Thank you in advance.

My Whitening Treatments Aren’t Working, What Should I Do?

Friday, May 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr, my problem is one of a cosmetic nature. I have recently done both in house and in office teeth whitening but there is no noticeable result
After a consultation with the dentist, I was given a pack of evolution3 home kit of 10 and 16% carbide peroxide which I used at home for two weeks with a custom made tray sent to me by the dentist. At the end of the second week, I went to the clinic for the in office whitening. In the office, an application of another higher % of gel was administered with my customer tray for about 30 minutes and that was it. I noticed that my teeth were still the same colour. This has frustrated me somewhat to be perfectly honest as there is still no noticeable result.
