    Teeth prepared for veneers.

    I would have loved to have seen the 'problem' that such radical removalof enamel and dentine was supposed to 'cure'! What's left here looks remarkable healthy!

    Looking at the bottom teeth, it would seem like a severe porcelain deficiency has also been 'cured' there as well!

    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
  • I love my dentist! He's ever so good and gentle and very, very trustworthy. And a gentleman too - he always holds my coat and bag for me and waits for me to examine my teeth and lopsided frozen smile. Everytime I see him standing there with my bag in his hand, I chuckle! Suits you sir!
  • Ali, very pleased that you went down the whitening route.
    In answer to your question, stick with the gels your dentist has given you, no need to go to a stronger concentration.

    As I said in my previous post, depending on how badly stained they were originally, it may take several weeks or months to whiten your teeth. Be patient, it will happen! you can purchase additional whitening syringes from ur dental practice if need be.
