Hi Thu Hien, thank you for contacting us. In fact, not all yellow teeth can be whitened. If the condition of your teeth is mild, the teeth have just changed color because you often use colored foods but do not clean them thoroughly, causing the teeth to become discolored. At this point, you can apply to restore tooth color. However, if the yellow teeth are heavy, you should choose another option.

“Hello, doctor. Recently, | have noticed that my teeth are yellow, and there are tiny holes on the teeth that look terrible. | don't know what's wrong with my teeth? Doctor help me answer. I thank you.” — Ms. Phuong (23 years old)

Thank you, Phuong, for sending a message to the dentist. According to her description, it is possible that her teeth are infected with Tetracycline. Tetra antibiotic stained teeth are teeth that darken from within the tooth tissue, which is completely different from food coloring. When teeth are infected with Tetra, if it is mild, you can apply whitening. For severe cases, you should choose another method. However, you should go to the dentist to check the extent of your tooth discoloration so that | will give you a suitable treatment solution, helping you to get your desired tooth color back soon

“Hello, doctor. | have heard about how to whiten teeth but | don't know if teeth whitening will cause sensitivity? Is tooth enamel affected? Thank you doctor.” — Mr. Trinh (34 years old)

Hi Trinh, thank you for your message to the dentist. In fact, after whitening, your teeth will be a little sensitive and uncomfortable, but you can rest assured that this feeling will gradually disappear. As for tooth enamel, it will not be affected at all.

Your teeth are at high risk of enamel erosion if you arbitrarily use bleach, mouthpieces at home without the guidance of a doctor or buy drugs floating in the market.

Moreover, teeth whitening does not last long. When the tooth is discolored, you will have to perform bleaching again. Continuous bleaching will cause enamel to gradually wear away, exposing the dentin and internal structure. This will make your teeth more susceptible to staining faster and you will also feel sensitivity when eating hot, cold or sour foods.

Therefore, if you have a need to whiten your teeth, you should go to the dentist for a thorough examination and advice on your condition.

“Hello, doctor. I asked doctor if | whiten my teeth, how much whiter will my teeth be?

Hi Mr. Hung, thank you for sending a message to the dentist. How much whiteness after bleaching depends on how yellow your teeth are. Normally, teeth will whiten by 1-2 tones in the tooth color palette. If your teeth are slightly yellowed, after 1 treatment, your teeth can be whitened up to 3-4 tones.

As for the case where the tooth color is very dull, the tooth structure is quite even and you want to get to the white you want, you can refer to the solution of porcelain veneers. This is a method that not only helps to raise the color of the teeth as desired, but also can align the teeth, giving a white, confident smile.

“Doctor | want to ask Does teeth whitening last permanently? I thank you.” ~ Quynh Thuong (20 years old)

Hello Quynh Thuong, thank you for sending your question to the dentist. Teeth whitening does not bring permanent results, moreover, the results of whitening for each person are different. Some people can maintain it for a few months, some for a few years. In addition, if after whitening, you still have the habit of smoking, drinking alcohol, tea, coffee or eating colored foods, itis easy to re-color your teeth.

If you want to maintain your white teeth for a long time, you can consider the solution of porcelain veneers.

“Hello, doctor. | am planning to do porcelain teeth. These days, | see many people making porcelain paste, but | still don't understand how to do this very well. The doctor answered for me. I thank you.” ~ Anh Trung (28 years old)

Hello Trung, thank you for sending a message to our dentist. Porcelain paste is currently evaluated as the most optimal dental cosmetic solution today, preserving the maximum of the original teeth with an extremely low tooth grinding index of only about 0.3 – 0.5 mm. If your teeth are relatively even, there is no need to grind, but only need to roughen the surface to create a tight grip for the teeth.

By reducing the rate of tooth grinding, porcelain veneers will help you limit a lot of harmful effects such as bad breath, pain, pulpitis, .. You can completely feel secure when experiencing this service without having to worry about complications like traditional porcelain veneers.

“Hello doctor, | am planning to apply porcelain veneers. However, my friend advised me to wrap porcelain because porcelain is to use the whole porcelain tooth, and for porcelain paste, use thin patches, afraid of losing money when chewing. Doctor please help me. I thank you! (37 years old) Hoai Lam

Hi Hoai Lam, thank you very much for your question. It is true that in the past, porcelain veneers were more durable than porcelain veneers. However, with today’s modern technology of porcelain teeth, porcelain veneers have been raised to a new level through which its durability is also greatly improved. If you paste porcelain with crystalline ceramic materials, which are as hard as diamond, when chewing, the porcelain paste will not peel off.

Moreover, you should stick porcelain at reputable dentists, use specialized glue with the correct ratio to avoid peeling and falling of porcelain teeth. If you work at a dental clinic with poor quality, use substandard glue or do not have enough dosage, the situation of falling porcelain pieces is inevitable.

In addition, you should also pay attention to hygiene and eating, avoid chewing on things that are too hard or too tough to better protect porcelain teeth. If the condition of your teeth is even and just want to improve the color, | recommend that you choose porcelain veneers to preserve the original teeth, avoid small grinding causing bad effects on health.

I asked doctor if porcelain veneers have to be sharpened?

Hi Miss Nu, thank you very much for your message to the dentist. To the question of whether porcelain veneers will grind your teeth, i would like to answer as follows: In fact, when applying porcelain paste, her teeth are still grinded, but with a very small rate, only about 0.3 – 0.5mm. This ratio is just enough to remove bacteria and plague on the surface of the original tooth, not much to the real tooth structure. In addition, if your teeth are even and aligned, i just need to roughen the surface to create a good grip for the porcelain teeth.

“Hello doctor, my teeth are quite even but the color of the teeth is not very beautiful. | am planning to do porcelain veneer. Can you tell me how much it costs to apply porcelain veneers? I thank you.” Nhat Quynh (31 years old)

Hi Nhat Quynh, thank you very much for your question. The price of the current method of porcelain veneers will range from 5 to 12 million / tooth. Why is there such a big difference?

Firstly, this is a difficult technique that requires the doctor to have professional skills and high skills to accurately calculate the tooth grinding rate, preserving the optimal root teeth for her.

Secondly, the equipment and machinery to perform porcelain gluing must also be modern to give the most accurate results as well as ensure that there are no errors both during and after gluing porcelain.

Finally, there are now many materials that make up porcelain veneers. Each type has different characteristics, color, translucency, tooth pattern, etc. Therefore, the price is also different.

To know exactly how much is the price of porcelain veneers, you need to have an examination and consultation from a doctor. Hope you can arrange a time to visit the dentist so that | can directly examine and advise you more thoroughly.
