I broke my teeth two years ago can I leave them

Q. Dear sir two years ago accidentally I fall over and broke my front teeth. is it possible to leave the teeth as it is or is there any permanent solution without removing the teeth

 

A. Without clinical aids such as x-rays or even having a visual exam it is hard to tell if a permanent solution will involve keeping your teeth or not.

Provided no fracturing of the root has occurred and if required a root canal treatment can be performed then despite any damage to the crown of the tooth it should be possible to get a filling of some kind onto the teeth. The fillings could either be white bonded fillings, or veneers/ porcelain crowns.

The amount of available tooth structure will essentially determine the type of fillings required.
