Could you advise the best course of action to improve the appearance of discoloured teeth when you have a crown?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I have been thinking for some time about how I can improve the appearance of my teeth. My main problem is that I would like them to be whiter. However, I have a crown on my front tooth due to falling off my bike as a child. I assume that if I had my teeth whitened the same procedure could not be performed on this crown? Could you advise the best course of action to improve the appearance of discoloured teeth when you have a crown? Thank you

Advice for teeth straightening in West Wales

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
I am 32 years old, my teeth at the front top and bottom over lap baddly. I have decay on the gum line and discoloured teeth. I use a phillips sonic tooth brush and all the usual and have for years. I have not looked at my teeth in a mirror for 2 years. 2 days ago I bit a label of a new jumper and a chip came of my bottom tooth! I have asked a number of dentists about straightning my teeth (as they comment that they are bad and why had nothing been done when I was younger) but they tell me I will have to go somewhere else and offer no advice! What can I do about my soft enamel? Where do I go for advice about straightning my teeth? I live in West Wales and dont want to travel to London. Help me please, Thanks

My teeth have now become an off white colour

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, Im 18 years old and lack self confidence due to the effects on my teeth from poor diet and lack of oral hygeine in the past. My teeth have now become an off white colour and have like whiter stains near the tops. i also have a few decaying spots on the top of two of my teeth towards the front. I am so embarrassed about them, i dont like to smile, i have even found myself mumbling when i am talking so that i am not revealing the full extent of my teeth. This is beggining to depress me now especially due to my age, I dont like socialising as much with my friends do due to the embarrasment, this also puts me off visiting a dentist! I am worried of what he/she may think of me. What treatment do you think is required and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
