    Default White Fillings

    Hi,
    I had some white fillings at the front of my teeth and it's made the colour go a bit funny, would it be possible to have the front 4 or 6 teeth bleched or whitening?

    Thanks

    You can certainly consider whitening. However the colour of your fillings will not change and you may need them replacing after your teeth have been whitened

    I hope this helps

    Have you got a rough idea or how much it would cost to have the front 6 whitend?

    Also whats difference between bleeching and having whitening on the front teeth?


    Thanks

    There is no difference between bleaching and whitening. The costs vay depending on which system is used and can start from as low as £175 and up to £950. Of course not all whitening options work the same hence the price differences. Generall your dentist will whiten all of your teeth

    If you custom tray made you can put the whitening gel only on the teeth you want whitened

    The tray made will cover all or the teeth in the arch. Your dentist will show you how to apply the gel and you will be able to select which teeth you want to whiten and place the gel in those teeth only.

    I hope this helps
