I want to get a beautiful, white smile but I worry about the cost. Can you give me a quote?

Friday, January 4th, 2013
Q.

To be able to get my upper and the lower teeth done for Lumineer treatment, how much would the total cost be, I have quite a few crooked teeth, I have one crown at the back. All my life I hated my teeth and i have always wanted beautuful white straight teeth like the celebrities…friends dont think my teeth are that bad but I don’t believe them abd more than ever I’m very determined to get them done and at the same time I am worrued about the cost too? Which is why I’d very much appreciate a quote from you or perhaps you can recommend someone more local to me. would you be able to recommend a good dentist to carry out the proceedure in North London please? Thank you for your time.

Teeth whitening treatments don’t seem to be working, would lumineers be a good option?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

My teeth and gums are healthy I do have one implant at the front which Im very pleased with and one crown which is doing fine. I have some filling but my main complaint now is I really want white teeth as ive tryed whitening treatment but not enough of a change for me I want something to work quickly and be how I want to look from the start. My teeth are very straight and I was thinking that Lumineers may be the way forward as I dont want my teeth worked on or to much preparation if possible. Plus would I have to do something with the Implant and Crown or can this go over the top.

Should I be concerned by Hydrogen Peroxide used in whitening systems?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr

I had my teeth whitened at my dentist and she used the reputible company Voco system on me. I was concerned because i wasnt aware that Hydrogen Peroxide was used which is an acid…my question is why do dentists use an acid to whiten teeth? Do your teeth reminilize? I thought enamel didnt heal and i found out that the PH used was 4 and this was in house for 20 mins is this bad? Im worried? Have i got a right to be?

Would appreciate your best advise thankyou for your time,

What do you do when your veneers are whiter than your other teeth?

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi there,

Please can you help. My mother recently had two front teeth veneers & whitening process. The veneers were done first then the Brightsmile process, however the veneers are now whiter than her natural teeth. They also look more prominent as they are the two front teeth. I seem to think when my dentist did my teeth the whitening process was done first then colour match the veneers – is there a certain way round to do this?

What would you suggest to rectify this problem.
Thanks for any help you can give

What is the best way for me to whiten my smile?

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am interested in some information about teeth whitening. I am only 19 years old but my teeth have a slightly discoloured yellow appearance. I have had problems with enamel erosion, mainly on the four teeth in the front of my mouth, I have read enamel eroision can affect the colour of teeth as it wears away the whiter enamel. I also have translucent areas in a few places and a couple of small chips in these areas. One of my front teeth has a small area of composite bonding that replaced a more significant chip. I have made significant changes in my diet and eating habits to stop the erosion becoming worse and my dentist has said that the teeth will be okay as they are, however the appearance bothers me, particuarly the yellow discolouration. Honestly I can not really remember if my teeth used to be any whiter as i assume discoloration is a slow process and i only became aware of it recently, I have also read that some people have naturally more yellow coloured enamel which could be the case for me.
I have done some research on the different methods of tooth whitening and have read about lumineers. These seem good however the price seems to be very high, (only being 19 price obviously is an issue) I assume these can be used to cover the small chips as well as changing the colour of the teeth. I would rather steer clear of conventional veneers as they are more destructive to the tooth and i am still very young. I have also looked at home teeth whitenng kits available from dentists however I have read about possible nasty side-effects including increased risk of cancer…? Also what would the effect be of this on my area of composite bonding, would it lighten aswell? Having a hollywood smile is not important to me, i would really just like my teeth a few shades whiter, and possibly have the couple of chips and translucent areas sorted out, I have become very strict with my self about my teeth and now take very good care of them, however damage has already been done. I would like to have these things sorted out so i can start looking after a nice set of teeth!
Your advice would be very helpful, thank you for your time.

Would it be safe to have veneers fitted to cover my discoloured teeth?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

Hi there,

I’m 21 & have very good strong teeth & never had a histrory of any filings.
I had a brace when I was younger which has straightened my teeth out.
My only problem is that I am very paranoid about the colour of my teeth , there not white nor yellow just kind of in the middle but I have thought about having veneers in a while.

Do you think it would be advisable for me to have them done? And roughly how much would it cost to have all my teeth veneered?
Thanks

The white bonding on my teeth doesn’t match the colour of my teeth, what should I do?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.

I recently had five of my back teeth on the bottom row of teeth from metal to white however the white does not really match the colour of my existing teeth and there are bits of black around the edges. I got this treatment through my dental practice and paid over £1000. My dentist has since left the practice and I requiree root treatment on one of the teeth that the filling got replaced but the colour again is not matching my existing tooth.This work was done by another dentist who joined the practice but I have not been able to establish a rapport with and I am really unhappy with the work I have had done.
