Crowns or veneers?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Hello I have 4 root canals done in the front teeth and one of them turned so dark over 15 years that not the dentist put a pin inside the canal and completely removed the tooth. I think he used the white filling to create a fake tooth for the time being. I am facing a dilemma now. From experience I know the other 3 teeth will turn dark too. I need to look at my options. Crowns or veneers. I would hate to invest the money into veneers if the dark colour will be visible from underneath? Do you think crowns will be better for me? especially because the teeth are in the front I would really love to finally have a smile I always dreamed of and not a horror story and empty wallet with dark teeth. Please help me I am not concerned about my teeth being grinded down. I just want white beautiful teeth that will last for many many years,

What are the optiond for me keeping my teeth looking white and real?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
I had an accident when I was a teenager and after 23 one of my front teeth started to turn grey. I ended up getting both my top front teeth root canals and bleached from the inside. It’s been about 5 years since I’ve had that done and one tooth is starting to look lightly grey again. I don’t have crowns and I find my dentists aren’t clear on my options and the risks. I want to keep my teeth looking white and real, is this realistic? What are my options!?,

The crowns I keep getting replaced make all my teeth look different sizes, any advice?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Sorry, didn’t finish my questionand not sure if you received it so here goes again. I have a number of crowns which have been replaced over the years and each time the impression is taken from the ones before so they get bigger and longer each time. Anything that did not fit before, also does not fit again and any problems with receding gums are difficult to control. Do cosmetic surgeons have technology these days that make teeth the same size as the original. Having just paid an arm and a let to look like the winner of the Derby, is there a training school in the Midlands looking for volunteers.
