I have discolored front teeth and two chipped teeth from when I fell. My dentist fixed them several years ago and while they were fixed, the color sticks out as being different from the rest of the teeth. I want to fix the discoloration on both my natural teeth and the bonded teeth. My dentist suggested porcelain veneers which colors the whole tooth, but the price is pretty hefty. Is there a way to get a uniform smile cheaper?<\/p>\n

Dear David,<\/p>\n

\"before<\/p>\n

I am very glad you wrote. First, your dentist does not need to do either bonding or porcelain veneers<\/a> on you for your smile makeover. I posted a picture above that shows how dental bonding<\/a> should blend in naturally when done correctly. If he can’t do dental bonding, he cannot do porcelain veneers well either. <\/p>\n

If you want to go cheap, I would not suggest veneers. The good news is that you won’t need them if they only thing you are concerned about is the discoloration. This can easily and affordably be fixed in two steps. <\/p>\n

The first step would be to get your teeth whitened<\/a>. Any dentist can do this, even yours. It is the easiest cosmetic procedure around. Once that is done, the next step will be to get your dental bonding replaced. However, I do not recommend you have your normal dentist do this. He doesn’t have the skills and\/or materials to match the bonding to your natural tooth structure. Instead, I want you to go to someone with cosmetic dentistry training. Look at their smile galleries to see what type of results they get. Also, see if they have someone on staff who is AACD accredited<\/a>. That would be ideal.<\/p>\n
