    Depends on what you want fixed, want the gaps corrected = orthodontics, want whiter = bleaching/veneers/crowns, could just need a cleanup. Really it depends on your issues. The process starts with you getting a consultation with a dentist or specialist and taking it form there.

    Sorry meant to reply ages ago.I have been to a dentist recently and have been told i need to get a wisdom tooth out.I guess i really want to improve the look of them.I guess maybe whitening.I dont know if anything can be done with the gap.The front tooth on the right as per photo is a capping as i fell off a bike as a young lad and broke it.It has been very prone to discolouring.Thanks for the input!!!

    The "capping" is really just a big white filling. You can have it redone so it looks better. If you want an econimical fix to close the gap between the front teeth it can be done easily enough with 'bonding'. ie, the dentist sticks some white filling material to both teeth making them look a bit wider.

    As they are quite yellow get them bleached (properly) first. About 1000 euro should sort it all out and look pretty good.

    Veneers/crowns would look even better and be more long lasting but the costs would move up to over 2000.

    avoid cheap bleaching offers and cheap veneers.

    something you shouldnt take lightly,find the right dentist for you and make sure its local so you can go back if there are any difficulties,going to poland or bulgaria sounds great but what about the comeback if things go wrong is there any ? find that out firsthand.good luck!
