Can you buy a good tooth whitening toothpaste?

Q. Can you buy a good whitening tooth paste that doesn’t cost a fortune from your dentist? My teeth are pretty dull looking so I don’t really need to pay for the professional whitening, thanks!

A. Most of the whitening toothpastes available are not very effective in whitening teeth. You can try any of the toothpastes available and see if they work for you. Dr. Lemongello

Are there different variations of dental veneers?

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:15:24 +0000

Q. Hi i’m looking into getting veneers. My teeth are in good physical condition but they’re very stained and various teeth whitening systems have previously failed. I was wondering about the variations of veneers, I’ve heard that teeth have to be shaved and filed down? In your opinion which is the best type of veneer?

A. The best veneer is one that is placed using the most conservative approach possible utilizing the best material for the situation. There is no one best veneer. Instead you should choose a dentist who understands the different materials and techniques available and discuss what is the best option for you. The teeth are not shaved down. Most porcelain veneers requires minimal tooth reshaping for the veneer to fit properly. I would invite you to visit our website at www.lernerlemongello.com. Let us know if we can help.

My teeth are badly stained and teeth whitening hasn’t worked, what else can I do?

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 06:22:36 +0000

Q. hello my teeth are very badly stained from the excessive nicotine and caffeine that i’ve consumed over the years. I have drastically cut back on both of these products now but my teeth are a horrible yellow colour. I have tried teeth whitening, professionally and done at home and it hasn’t worked, is there ANYTHING else I can try? I need to get rid of this staining, it’s ruining my life. Thank you for your time.

A. Your most predictable and permanent method of treatment would be to veneer your teeth. Although this is a bit more involved and expensive it provides permanent results and a much improved smile.

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 07:15:19 +0000

Q. Hello i had my teeth professionally whitened by my dentist about a week ago and he used zoom! anyway he said it would last a while but it’s fading already! Can i get my money back or ask him to re-do it? I paid a fortune and my teeth are going back to their usual colour, i’m brushing them regularly and i’ve cut back on the strong foods. Did he not do it long enough or something?

A. I would request a touch up or have him give you an “at home bleaching kit” which will help you maintain the brightness of the smile

I paid a lot for the home whitening kit but it’s not working, what should I do?

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 07:51:48 +0000

Q. Hello, I purchased a home whitening dental kit from my dentist recently I’ve been using the kit as directed but i’m not noticing any changes in colour. My teeth are quite badly stained but i did pay a lot for this kit. What should I do?

Let your dentist know….maybe he will credit back some of the treatment costs….understand he did incur some expense in the design of your retainers and product.

What smile makeover treatment would you recommend for me?

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 06:49:08 +0000

Q. Hello, i feel i need a smile makeover. My teeth are very crooked and decayed because of my phobia of the dentist. Not only that my smile seems very droopy and my lips are now sooo thin! What treatments can you recommend for my bad state? Money isn’t an option! Thank you

A. Thank you for your question. Perhaps the most dramatic thing that can be done to improve facial attractiveness is to enhance the worn smile. This can easily be done through the advances in cosmetic dentistry. Proper design of your smile can improve support of your lips. This is always a dramatic effect when doing a smile makeover that many often fail to overlook. Additionally, we can accentuate the effect by considering the administration of dermal fillers in the lips and around the mouth.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth look more transparent?

admin — Thu, 20 May 2010 05:49:19 +0000

Q. I am planning to do a home bleaching system form my dentist. The bottom of my from two teeth are slightly transparent (not noticeable unless you look close). I am wondering how much this will be accentuate the difference. Thanks

Whitening the teeth will also allow more brightness to pass through the transparent edge. You should not see a noticable change. Dr. Lemongello

Is home teeth whitening better than the in-clinic teeth whitening option?

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 06:52:15 +0000

Q. Is home teeth whitening or in clinic teeth whitening the better option. I have been told it is the home one as you are using the stuff more regularly rather than just getting an instantaneous result?

A. Both are excellent. The clinic whitening gives you immediate results. However, if you have the clinic whitening done you should also have the “at home” kit so as to maintain the quality of your tooth whitening
