I had dental implants put in about 4 years
ago. I was young enough then to not
think anything about having my teeth
whitened later on, and my dentist didn't
give my any options. Now, I want to know
if it is possible to whiten the color of
my implants (bonding maybe?) without
having to get new implants.
Any input you have is great.

Pamela, if you dont mind me asking. I
have to get an implant put in..Why did u
have your implant put in and which tooth?
And how old are you?
I feel I am too young for this and now I
recently found out that the tooth the
crook dentist pulled could have been
saved..Crying myself silly for the past 2
months.

Bonding, I Wouldn't Do It Posted: 01-09-04 16:37pm
I dont know if its an answer for you, but
before you do bonding check it out reall
good. My sister and a friend at work
both had teeth bonded and yeah looked
great for awhile. Then they yellow and
they are non smokers or coffee drinkers.
Now they are stuck with the yellow teeth
as nothing can be done to correct it
except the expensive removal and
reapply.
Becareful there

My friend did something called laminating.
I should find out if its the same as
bonding. Her teeth are as white as can
be and this was 6 years ago..I can
recommend her dentist if u need one.
Thats where I am going.

And by the way, she had them done in her
front teeth, she fell and cracked them in
a upside v shape and I swear you'd never
know.

Christina-
i was born without the two teeth on either
side of my two front teeth. So I had
braces to pull everything back into place
and then a retainer...Then more braces,
and then finally my cool titanium
implants.....
Laminating sounds really
interesting...That's something that I
haven't heard of before. Oh, and i'm 21

Really..Please tell me about the titanium
implants. I want to do that on a tooth
the dentist wasnt suppose to pull but
did...Does it hurt, how long does it
take..And how is it done. Thanks.
