my front left tooth is broken would a crown or veneers be appropriate and safe for me?
Q. Hi, i had an accident when was little leaving my front left tooth and the tooth to the left of that broken. I had problems with these teeth for many years and i got root canals on them leaving them dead. The teeth also turned darker and my dentist said that as when i turned 16 i would get crowns to protect my teeth. When i went for my consultation for the crowns he said that crowns would put a strain on my teeth and cause them to fall out. I really am unhappy with the apperance of my teeth and am searching for other options, would a crown or veeners be appropriate and safe for me?
A. It is common for root filled teeth to darken over time. The only thing that I’m not sure about- is why you were advised NOT to have crowns placed? I would always advise that a root filled tooth would need a crown to PROTECT the remaining tooth structure from future fracture. I would definately recommend seeing a cosmetic dentist for a consultation- You should not have to suffer. i would be more than happy to see you myself -or can alternatively recommend a dentist in your area to see. Hope this has helped
