Q. Dear Dr Caplan i have been suffering from Bulimia for over 15 years and hence my teeth will need to be crowned (upper row). the bulimia is inactive but occasionally i regress to the same crutch, ie purging. my teeth are so sensitive that i have no choice but to crown them, do you think its advisable or are there any other options? thank you so much for your input.
A. Usually my treatment for such a situation is to crown the damaged teeth due to the backs of the teeth being severely damaged by acid and the fronts of teeth looking short due to acid damage to their tips. Sometimes composite filing material can restore the damaged surfaces followed by veneers to improve the look of the smile. Pleae contact my surgery if you wish for a free cosmetic consultation where I can discuss your options in more detail.
