Dr. Hall,
\nI have 6 crowns on my top front teeth and two veneers. so, my top 8 teeth are cosmetic. I’ve noticed lately the edges of the teeth are looking a little stained and they’re looking dull overall. I am due for a teeth cleaning, but what do I need to make sure they use on my at the dentist’s office? Will my regular dentist know what to use? Also, will the Supersmile toothpaste be safe for my teeth?
\nThank you,
\nStephanie from Georgia<\/p>\n

Stephanie,
\nFirst of all, yes, Supersmile toothpaste\u00a0is safe for your cosmetic work. In fact, it is the safest toothpaste for cosmetic dentistry. It is made for the maintenance of cosmetic dental work, since it is one of the least abrasive toothpastes and relies on an enzyme to dissolve away the stains, instead of abrasion.<\/p>\n

And that could be part of the problem with your porcelain veneers<\/a> and crowns. Something has broken the glaze on them, because when the glaze is intact, they don’t discolor.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t ask your family dentist to do anything, but an expert cosmetic dentist might be able to bring the life back into your porcelain work, depending on how deeply the stains have soaked into the porcelain now. Check our list of Georgia cosmetic dentists. It will require polishing using special diamond-impregnated polishing wheels and pastes.
\nDr. Hall<\/p>\n
