Im ashamed of my teeth, what can I have done that wont cost thousands?


Question:
I have two teeth at the front of my mouth with dead roots. They are a darker colour than the rest, no matter how much I clean them.

Answers:
My question for you is, Have you had Root Canals on those teeth? If you have, you can have bleaching done from inside the tooth. It is a procedure called "Walking Bleach". Often when teeth devitalize (die) the heme from the blood breaks down and darkens leaving a darker appearance to the teeth. The internal bleaching can ONLY be done on Root Canal treated teeth. The other options are Esthetic bonding, where bonded fillings are placed over the darkened teeth to try to mask out the darker color (and it is not a POLYESTER filling!). Other options that get more expensive are: Veneers or Crowns. Unfortunately, dark teeth due to the nerve being dead, cannot be fixed with over-the-counter bleaching products! Hope this helps!
You obviously haven't been near the dentists for some time. They can now do quite a good patch-up job using white polyester resin. What's more you can watch television while they do it. Give it a try.
I'll gladly smash them out with a hammer for the price of a few beers
Move to Britain and no one will notice.
The reason they are darker is because they are dead nothing you can do about that unless you have them removed and a bridge put in.
Professional dental work tends to expensive. Be sure to brush twice a day, floss gently once a day, and, remember, to brush your tongue. Check with local university dental schools for low-cost care.
go to the dentist and they can fit you with caps that have the same colour as your other teeth,it isnt a painful treatment so dont worry :)
Paper bag ? Ski Mask ?
I hate to say it, but if you don't want to spend money, just keep your mouth closed, and make it a habbit to smile with your lips touching.
