Q. When i was young i fell in school banged my front teeth, one came out and put back in which was fine but the other front tooth next to it discoloured,it hasd a root canal done. After years of treatment at london Hospital tooth was fine, but when i went to my regular dentist when 18 he suggested to cap it, and did. I knew nothing of the treatment, it was done, but i am extremely unhappy with the look, especially with receding gums and the metal showing. I have been looking at other options which i was made unaware of veener rather than capping or bleeching the tooth, now am scared i will lose my tooth and am losing sleep over it, and it is really depressing me. I hate this capping and re-capping process and am unsure it he has put in a post before capping it, i doubt he has. i just want comfortable good looking front teeth that will last rather than look horrible with gums receding or other complications, am only 24 yet, it is quite disheartening.
