Q. Hello, When I was younger I fell over and chipped my front tooth in half. It was capped. After a few years it fell out and I went for more dentistry work. The dentist pretty much ground the tooth down to a little stump and then bonded a cap to the tooth. He said it will last a few years and so far has been in for a good 8 years with no signs of movement. I am unhappy with the tooth as it is rather grey in comparison to the other teeth… my friend has a cap on the same tooth and his is greyish also. Unfortunately I smoke but am planning on quitting in the near future. I have made my mind up on getting the cap replaced and was wondering on the options available. I would love a fancy cap… if not solid silver at least the outer edge silver and the rest white matching the rest of my teeth. I wore braces as a kid and my teeth are straight. When I went to mexico I noticed a lot of the guys had the gold outer rimmed caps and thought they look rather nice as they aren’t as much as a solid metal tooth. Could you please give me a rough estimation on how much a metal cap would cost and the options available to me. I am after it having a silver outer edge if that makes any sense? Look forward to hearing from you Kind regards
