should i have a crown or a white filling
Q. I have been having treatment for a root cancal on two teeth. My dentist believes that white fillings will be best for these teeth is this the cas as I am aware that crowns may be best. Also a fracture tooth needs repaired. She believes that white filling will be best. Is this also the case? Due to my previous illness of anorexia and bulima for over ten years this has erroded my teeth and has left them in bad shape at the back. Is there anyway I can build these teeth back up again? I am also aware that people can become models for students in college. I would be happy to do this if I was to recieve good dental treatment. Thankyou for your help.

thank you for your question. White fillings are not the best thing for your teeth. Ideally teeth that have root canal treatment should either have porcelain crowns or porcelain onlays. If the teeth have enough structure left an onlay would be better. This is like a 3/4 crown and is not as destructive. If you have had Bulemia your back teeth can be built up but this is fairly extensive restorative work. If you live near a dental university they may accept you on a post graduate programme but this is a long shot. You really need to go to a restorative dentist, preferably a private one
