What can I do about my discoloured teeth?

Q.
In 2007 I had my four front teeth knocked out, I have had root canal treatment on two of the on the right hand side of my mouth. Recently I have had to undergo root treatment on my other two teeth on the left hand side of my mouth, however it has been filled previously in root canal treatment. The dentist is having problems to unfill it all and if she carrys on with the root treatment it is possible that it will be unsuccessful. From all of these problems my front teeth have become highly discoloured and its embarrasing. I would like your help in telling my best possible action to make, although if I were to get dental implants it amounts to £2200 per tooth and that is far too expensive for myself to be able to afford. Also I am having to have gum treatment as i have decay in my gums.
I hope that you can help me as I am only 20 years old and I would like to have nice healthy white teeth.

I would go to see a specialist endodontist (a root canals expert) first who may be able to save your teeth

Your dentist should be able to refer you

I’d try that before committing to the implants. £2200 per tooth is extremely reasonable for implants but may be low quality treatment you’re being offered and may also not include the crowns on the implants

Good luck with it all
