Is it possible to change the color of the veneer?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Hello, Help.I just received veneer treatment for my top 8 front teeth. This is my 2nd time around. My new dentst needs to re-do the middle two b/c the sawy is off to the right and the shape is off. The 2nd problem is that my new veneers are too bright/white. I tried bleaching the bottom teeth but there’s no close match. My 5 yr son called my teeth snowflakes. I am so depressed that I’m worried sick. Is there anything on the market to slightly darken the veneers (Empress Teeth)?

Will teeth whitening remove the stains?

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have some staining on my teeth from my braces – the staining is little circles and looks like it’s from the glue which was used to fix the brace on. I wanted to get my teeth whitened but I am worried the rest of the tooth will be whiter and the stain will just look worse. Is this something which generally I should be worried about or os this sort of thing generally corrected wiothout problem? (I appreciate that you will no be able to give a specific answer without a consult)

My crowns look grey in day light what are my option please help

Q.
I am 35 years old and about ten years ago a dentist capped my two front teeth a very dirty off white colour on the NHS. I was not aware of the procedure and thought he was going to put veneers over them. Sorry to sound so dumb but was not very informed. A few years ago I had my teeth whitened and the two caps stayed much the same. Outside in the daylight my top row of teeth look grey and dirty and as a women of 35 you can imagine the impact on my confidence. I have been told by several cosmetic dentists that they do not want to remove the caps and replace them and if I get veneers on the teeth left and right to the two front ones I am still left with two discoloured teeth. Please help.

This is a common problem and n… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My new crown from NHS for my front tooth doesnt match the colour with rest can u advice

Saturday, July 4th, 2009
Q.
Hello,I would be grateful for a bit of advice on a recent nhs crown I have had fitted. My front tooth completely broke off to the gum and I have had a crown fitted. The concerns i have are 1, I am worried about the stability of the tooth as the front teeth do a lot of work, I say its a crown but there was no visable tooth to attatch it to outside the gum and 2 she said it is a porcalain crown but it looks very opaque and is slightly more yellow than my own tooth.She didnt consult with me about the colour and did not show me the finished job so I payed and left.Because it is an nhs job I dont know where I stand. I payed a £170 for the treatment which is a lot of money for me.Incidently the original tooth had an nhs crown which lasted 23 years and was a much better match. I would be grateful for any advise, many thanks

My teeth are going brown around the gums and quite a few of them have massive hole advice?

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
Q.
After years of not looking after my teeth, smoking and drinking far too much coca cola my teeth are a state. There going brown around the gums and quite a few of my back teeth have massive holes in them. It doesn’t help that I’m terrified of dentists. Im only 19 and I’m so paranoid about them i even try my best to talk without showing my teeth. Im worried a cosmestic dentist would judge me because of this. I’m also terrified about going and the cost although I’m willing to put up with the pain and price to get my confidence back. It’s hard to concentrate on looking after then when there in such bad condition already.
