Hi,I have bad discolored teeth, and they are not straight either. What’s the best solution for me?
Thank you,
Jamal in Mississippi
Dear Jamal,
There are two good possible solutions for discolored teeth–either porcelain veneers or teeth whitening.
There are two good possible solutions for teeth that aren’t straight–braces (either Invisalign invisible braces or conventional wire-and-bracket braces) or porcelain veneers.
If your teeth are both discolored and not straight, it generally makes the most sense to get porcelain veneers and take care of both problems with one treatment. However, cosmetic dentists who do Invisalign can use the Invisalign aligner trays to double as a home tooth whitening appliance and do both treatments simultaneously.
And as far as getting this done, I would recommend you see Dr. Denis Freiden, a Memphis cosmetic dentist, even though it means a drive to another state. Mississippi is a very unfavorable state for cosmetic dentists, so they go elsewhere. We do have a Mississippi cosmetic dentist in Laurel, Mississippi, but that is at the other end of the state for you and a longer drive than to Memphis. Creating a beautiful smile takes artistic passion and artistic ability, so good cosmetic dentists are fairly uncommon.
