What is the best dental work for me? Crowns? Veneers? Whiter?

Question

I have semi stained (yellow) teeth. I'd like to get my teeth whiter. I'd also like to have my two front teeth because they are too long because of bonding. I don't want to have four or six fake looking bright teeth on top though and the rest look even more yellow.

Answer 1

I'd go with the whitener. You can do Crest White Stips or the other whitener product with the trays yourself. Are the bonding teeth yellow too? If any teeth were made yellowish during the bonding coloration they won't whiten with the whitener. You can ONLY whiten Natural Enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or bonding they will stay the color they are now.
As for your 2 front teeth being too long, can you have them redone with veneers instead of the bonding? Ask your dentist. They won't look fake if you don't go overboard with the whitener.
Don't get crowns on your front teeth ~ eventually the underneath metal will show because the gums receed with age and you will have black lines above the proceline crowns.

Answer 2

I would say, from your brief description, that I would consider bleaching your teeth, and perhaps reducing down your front teeth. This is the most conservative approach. And afterwards you need not worry about things falling off or breaking. They would be your natural, untouched teeth.
Failing that, I would suggest veneers since they require the least reduction of your natural teeth. Veneers can change the shape and color of your teeth and smile. But you run the risk of having to replace them for whatever reason from time to time.

Answer 3

Hi if i was you i would bleach all your teeth until you get a satisfactory colour, your dentist will make a note of your new colour and then make you two veneers for your front teeth, to match the colour of your whitened teeth. That way you have a bright smile and your front teeth will be fixed!!

Answer 4

Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.

Check out this site: http://www.naturalwhiteteeth.net - It's about how you can whiten your teeth 100% naturally. Same results but 100% safe and 1000 times cheaper.

Answer 5

If you have bonding on your front teeth whitening gel wont whiten them. Veneers.....they are cheaper then crowns

Answer 6

Crowns
A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance.
It can cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental implant.
If your dentist recommends a crown, it's probably to correct one of these conditions. Your dentist's primary concern, like yours, is helping you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright -- literally, your crowning glory.
Crowns are usually composed of porcelain. All-porcelain (ceramic) restorations are particularly desirable because their color and translucency mimic natural tooth enamel.


All-porcelain restorations require a minimum of two visits and possibly more. The restorations are prone to fracture when placed under tension or on impact. The strength of this type of restoration depends on an adequate thickness of porcelain and the ability to be bonded to the underlying tooth. They are highly resistant to wear but the porcelain can quickly wear opposing teeth if the porcelain surface becomes rough.
Another type of restoration is porcelain-fused-to-metal, which provides strength to a crown or bridge. These restorations are very strong and durable.
The combination of porcelain bonded to a supporting structure of metal creates a stronger restoration than porcelain used alone. More of the existing tooth must be removed to accommodate the restoration. Although they are highly resistant to wear, porcelain restorations can wear opposing natural teeth if the porcelain becomes rough. There may be some initial discomfort to hot and cold. While porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations are highly biocompatible, some patients may show an allergic sensitivity to some types of metals used in the restoration.
