I am interested in having my teeth whitened. I’m a non smoker and have good oral hygiene. I have also got one crown which is 5th from my front tooth, I’m under the impression that will not change in colour, is that right? What is the procedure and the success rate? Also, is it a fixed price or is the price dependent on the discolouration? What are the options for teeth whitening, is it done over a period of time or as a one off? Thank you.

What is the Procedure for Teeth Whitening?
Friday, March 20th, 2015Can I Get a Refund on a Crown That Looks Wrong?
Monday, February 16th, 2015Good morning. I recently had a crown done on my front tooth as it was becoming grey in colour due to a root canal. I had the root canal over a year ago and it hasn’t given me any trouble since then but the aesthetic look of it was declining. The crown is horrible – the colour is wrong and the tooth was filed down too much on the end so it is shorter than my other front tooth – I also have a minor lisp now. It doesn’t look like my tooth. I also don’t know if I am within my rights to get a refund as the tooth is so wrong. I’m terrified I am now stuck with a horrible looking tooth, what can i do?
I Have A Hairline Crack In My Cap. What Is The Difference Between An NHS Crown And A Private One?
Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 Hello Mark. I hope you can help me. I have a question regarding crowns. I have a cap on my front upper tooth which was fitted 40 years ago. A hairline crack appeared six months ago and now a small bit fell off from behind. My present one is from the NHS. Do I have another NHS one fitted or private one? What is the difference in materials? Will the colour match? My dentist said they
don’t make the type I have any more. What type of material is an NHS crown made of compared to one made privately? Thank you for your time.
Can My Crowns Be Made Shiny And Smooth?
Monday, May 13th, 2013I recently had two all porcelain crowns on my front teeth. They were too bulky so the dentist contoured them all over to flatten them. Now, I feel self conscious because I can see horizontal creases on the crowns and they are not as shiny as before. I have paid a lot of money for these crowns and feel really upset with the appearance. I can see where the dentist has contoured them and where he hasn’t because I can see te shiny glaze in some areas where he did not contour. When I tried them on I did not feel like I could make a decision because they kept falling out of my mouth and I ended up saying yes but felt rushed. I would have preferred going away with them for a few days and then making my decision. Is there any way that the crowns can be made shiny and smooth again?
How Much Would I Have To Pay To Change A Silver Crown To A White One?
Monday, January 7th, 2013I am 26 years old and have had a silver crown fitted to my second from back upper tooth. I was told you would not see when I smiled but you can see it when I smile and I’m unhappy with the way it looks. As I only had It this week, could I just pay the difference approx another £200 more to change to a white crown or would I need to start from scratch and pay much more money around an additional £400 to the £200 I have already spend? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you shortly
My new crowns do not match my teeth, is there anything I can do?
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011Hi. I had my front top teeth crowned many years ago due to them being discoloured and ‘ridged’ (lots of cough medicine as a child). They looked great, but over the years I’ve had to have some replaced. Now I seem to have a mouth-full of non-matching crowns! (In shape, size & colour). Is there anything that could be done to change the colour of a crown or add a \veneer’| I also have a crown on a post which is about to break off. My NHS dentist advised to have the root removed and have a small denture – I really don’t want this. I’ve asked about an implant but he doesn’t seem keen. What can I do? Thanks.
