Would I be able to have a brace and a crown at the same time?

February 14th, 2013
Q.

When I was about 13 I chipped my front tooth and because I was so young my dentist put porcelain over it and over another tooth that was supposedly chipped. Now being 19 the porcelain has chipped a little and, being originally discoloured but is now very discoloured. I want the necessary porcelain taken off my one canine and a cap on my front tooth and my teeth whitened. I need the crown to cover my chipped tooth. Would I then be able to have a brace? I will be getting my teeth whitened but I don’t know whether I can a) have the crown before the brace and B) have the tooth whitening before or after. For such a seemingly small problem I have to go through all this, could you please pass me any knowledge of this situation? Thank you

How much would it be to replace my 2 front crowns and how much will whitening cost?

October 17th, 2012
Q.

I’m 18 and wants to replace my 2 front crowns. Could you give me an estimate as to how much I need to save up to get new ones. I want all porcelain crowns that look as natural as possible as I hate my current ones that I had done on the NHS. Also one of my crowns protrudes slightly and I was wondering whether that could be fixed with getting new crowns? Is it possible for me to get braces while I have crowns? And finally, if I don’t like the current colour of my teeth (they’re a dull white) and want to go whiter, how much does whitening cost and last? Should I whiten before getting new crowns or after? Thankyou for helping me 🙂

Is it okay to have my teeth whitened while having invisalign treatment?

August 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop, I’m just in the middle of my invisalign treatment on plate #6 it’s going really well, i like how loads of people don’t even know i have it! I was just wanting to know if its a good idea or not to while i’m still wearing the plates to whiten my teeth with self whitening? Or get it done at a dentists but that just costs a lot more! I also wanted to know what do dentists feel about home tooth whitening kits, i’ve heard mixed things really, that your teeth get really sensitive and sore? Does this still happen when you have it done at a dentists? If i could have your advice that would be great! I don’t want to do something that will damage my teeth! Thanks Annop!

What orthodontic treatment should I have, and should I have my teeth whitened first?

December 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi Darsh I have decided that I want ot have a brace to sort out my crooked teeth. my teeth are not that bad and nobody had ever noticed them, they don’t bother me to much but I have now saved up what should be more than enough to have treatment. I am now considering what brace to have and am stuck between the hidden lingual ones the Damon braces and the invisalign but I’m told that you cant have these on both rows of teeth so I may not be able t have them. What I want to know though is whether or not it would be a good idea to have my teeth cleaned/whitened before having a brace so that the effects of a brace are lessened over the course of treatment or is this something you would not recommend?

Can I have my teeth whitened after having my braces off?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hello I am due to have my braces off in a few weeks (mid November) but despite the fact I have done everything I can do whilst wearing braces to stop them discolouring I’m pretty sure they have done just that. there’s still around three weeks of treatment to follow this point and therefore they wont get any cleaner. Can I have tooth whitening treatment after braces as part of the procedure or will I have to pay for that separately? If I have to pay for it what is the best methods and how much does it cost approximately? Im not a big fan of buying them from the supermarket you see as not only do I think they wont be good enough but that I wont be good enough to apply them well enough im very sceptical about products like them. I also don’t want to have it done at a tanning/beauty salon for the same reason.

Is it better to whiten teeth before or after braces?

July 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr. Qureshi, I av just turned 40 and going through a divorce. I was thinking about having adult braces fitted to straighten my teeth and to have them professionally whitened, what would be the best order to do this or does it not really matter? Also could you advice me on which are the best type of adults braces? and the price of them, even though this doesn’t matter as my soon to be ex will be paying? Thanks so much this will really help on boosting my confidence up back to when I was 21 🙂
