Composite bonding has discoloured my teeth ..what can i do?
All costs given are private:
The basic option is to replace the composite again with a high quality composite that is finished to a high polish. This works surprisingly well for a lot of people & costs around £100 a tooth.
Veneers ( inc “thineers” or “lumineers” ) are a porcelain facing glued to the front of the tooth. Because they are made of porcelain they resist staining very well but can chip if the biting forces are not correctly balanced . Cost around £400-600 per tooth. These are a popular solution.
Crowns require the tooth to skimmed on all surfaces. They are made from a variety of materials , all have porcelain on the surface. There are subtle differences in the way they perform, we choose the best for the specific circumstances, no one type is best. Most peoples reason for choosing crowns is that the underlying tooth was already heavily filled or defective. They cost £400-600 per tooth.
I’m in Birmingham City Centre close to New Street Railway Station and we would charge £25 for a full examination which will provide enough information to give specific answers to your question. Sometimes we recommend Xrays or study models, the fees can found on our website www.e-dental practice.co.uk
