Recently, I’ve been more self conscious about my teeth. My first problem is that the edges of most of my teeth are starting to appear translucent. I’ve used Crest Whitening Strips before to whiten my teeth so I don’t know if that’s part of the cause. I’ve heard about remineralization of the teeth, so would that solve the translucency? Another thing is that the lower part of my bottom teeth are more yellow than the rest despite my whitening strips efforts.

Depending on how bad the staining is, Bioclear may or may not work. A cosmetic dentist should be able to try it on one tooth to see if it gives you the result you want. Otherwise, Porcelain veneers are probably your best bet.
Congratulations on quitting smoking - that is huge! First and foremost you are going to want to get a cleaning - once your gums are less inflamed - the chips will be able to be fixed. It will be best to bleach before you get the teeth fixed actually - we want the composite resin...
