Is there any treatment available for teeth that are in bad condition?

Q. Hi, My Teeth are in a pritty bad condition since I was a child, I do go to the dentist and had lots of fillings, fillings also in my front teeth at the top but they become discoloured and i get them replaced but it doesnt look good, I lost my smile a long time ago and as the years has passed by they seem to be getting worse dispite im trying to look after them the best i can all the time, i no longer smile showing my teeth anymore and have lost alot of confidence, i won’t even aply for jobs im intrested in because of my smile. I have mentioned whitening in the past to my dentist before i new anything about veneers but he explained that whitening would not work cause of all the fillings i have there, so now i have read all about veneers do you think it would be a option for me, my bottom front teeth are fine so would they just need whitening, my top two front teeth have slightly gone crocked (because of the drilling n fillings there i think) would i need additional treatment on them or would veneers help that. Big problem i have is that i will only go to my dentist as I no he’s seen all my teeth before, im so ashamed to go to a different dentist to get advise or treatment, u may not beable to answer any of my questions as you have not seen them but I felt it was worth a try in asking for your advice anyway, thanks for your time,
A. Thanks for your questions, although it is impossible to say for definite without a consultation, it sounds like veneers could be a solution for you. As they can be used to improve the size, shape and colour of you teeth, to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. I would recommend that you discuss this option with your existing dentist, or consider a free intial consultation with a cosmetic dentist to plan the treatment and discuss the costs and repayment plans. I hope this will help, I wish you well with regaining your confidence. Kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki
