How do I choose the right dentist for discoloured teeth?
Q. Hi, I am 21 years old and have severely discoloured teeth from taking strong medications over the last 10 years. I had previously considered tooth whitening but because I have numerous fillings in the front of my teeth this wouldn’t work. I am therefore considering veneers, particularly lumineers as I have very sensitive teeth. Do lumineers have a shorter life than porcelain veneers? How do you work around veneers if at a later date fillings need to be carried out? Obviously there are so many cosmetic denists around, how do I go about chosing the right dentist for the job? Many thanks,
A. You need to find a cosmetic dentist you feel comfortable with , ideally if you can get a personal recommendation, go for consultations and see how you feel about the options offered. Ask to see before and after photos of patients that dentist has treated your dentist should also be able to put you in touch with other patients who have had similar treatment. Any work you have done will need to be replaced in the future.
