How do I whiten teeth with thin enamel that shows the dentin? I had acid reflux that is now under control. However my teeth are now yellow in hue due to my dentin. In office, and custom tray at home whitening have not helped.
Any suggestions other then expensive veneers?
Teeth that have been eroded away by acid attack, either by reflux or acidic foods/ drink cannot be whitened with results. The dentin is exposed or very thin enamel has dentin show through. Veneers are the only way to improve the look of this condition
The thin enamel may get whitened, however the dentin never will. Additionally, you may traumatize the pulp (nerve) which sits under the dentin, with teeth whiteners.
Thank you for your question.
