Hello,
I'm nearing the end of my dental 'journey' -- which I'm planning to diarise. . .
So this post will seem pretty nit-picky to some, but I'd really appreciate your advice in the meantime

Cutting to the chase, I have a temporary 6 unit bridge covering canine-to-canine on the upper arch. My dentist wants to see me in 3 weeks time (5 weeks post extraction) to make impressions for the final ceramic bridge.
Obviously, at this appointment he will determine the colour shade for the final bridge.
This has been a pretty traumatic experience for me so far, but ultimately an uplifting one, which I want to make the best of.
Sooooo...I'm thinking about bleaching my bottom teeth (not to a Beckham-esque standard, just as naturally white as possible) before I get my final impressions done on the tops.
I'm thinking about a one-off laser treatment, just to bring me up to a nice shade.
That way, my permanent several-thousand-£££ bridge will look as nice as possible. . .
Will this be OK? Will the laser treatment melt my temporary (acrylic) bridge, lol
? I know it's cool LED, but you never know 
!
A million thanks in advance,
Steve
