I have genetically yellow tooth and I was wondering what options are there for me that is relatively cheap? (photo)

Question

I am 18 years old and I am getting braces next month. I was thinking about composite resin veneers or some type of bonding. What do you guys think I should do?

Jay Neuhaus, DDS · Answer

The first thing you should try is Bleaching. Start with an over-the-counter bleaching system such as Crest Whitestrips. This is the cheapest way to start. If you get some good results, and if you want them even whiter, then see a dentist for an in-office bleach treatment such as Zoom. This is also less expensive than bonding or Veneers.

Pamela Marzban, DDS · Answer

The less costly option for whitening is to start with Crest White strips, which you can get at any store. Most of the times they work , but you have to work on it because of the low concentration it will take multiple applications. Doing a whitening home treatment from a dentist can work better with less time. The home system is around $300-$500 at first , and then to maintain is easy and low cost.If you are doing braces i would wait until you are done to have a straighter whiter smile

Murray Bruckel, DDS (retired) · Answer

Have the braces done first.  When done, try whitestrips.......................................................
