I have chipped the corner of my tooth, what is the most natural looking treatment for this?

Monday, September 12th, 2011
Q.

12 years ago I had an accident where I came off of my bike and chipped the corner off of my left front tooth. I had a cap placed onto the end to re-build the tooth, and for a while it looked like my natural tooth, but it has now discoloured and the line where my original tooth broke off is very visible. I am now looking into getting my tooth re-done, but don’t know what route to go down for a natural long-term finish (i.e. cap, crown, veneer or something else??), as I am already very self-conscious of my tooth.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
Thank you

I am still in pain after having a tooth extracted – why is this?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
Q.

I have had a tooth extracted, and have been in constant pain, my question is I have a cap at the back, is it possible that although the tooth is dead, there could still be a nerve that you can not see ? and if there is can it be operated on without loosing it.
Thanks.

Part of my tooth came out when I had a cap removed, I now have three options, which do I pick?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Q.

I had one of the upper-jaw tooths root canal’ed.Post treatment, I used to’ve food lodgment problem surrounding the cavities adjoining the gums of treated tooth i.e: small slices of food teer into the gums and cavities. When I went to see a Dr, she removed the cap along with which the tooth part came out.

Dr. has suggested me 3 options :
1) Have an implant of metal by removing the root.
2) Have a bridge by cutting the left-adjacent natural tooth and removing the cap of right-adjacent root-canal’ed tooth.

Which one would be better option to prevent food lodgment? 1 or 2?

Would you suggest 3) a replacement of cap?

I decided to get my healthy tooth veneered after getting a cap for another one. Bit mistake. What can be done to correct this?

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010
Q.

I just had my crown replaced on my front tooth, with a procelin cap,and I decided to get the other healthy tooth next to it veneered. The veneered tooth is thick and bulky and there is a super thick spot in the back of the tooth as well as a slight ledge. My cap is slightly shorter than the veneer, not at all what my teeth looked like. I HATE THEM!!!!! How labor intensive would it be to correct.

My tooth have cracks and I have gum recession. Any advice would be appreciated?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Dr Solanki, Im very worried about my teeth as i have a few issues. They are all cracked and erroading away. they feel wobbily, and i haave a bad night grinding problem. i visited a few dentists, who just seemed to want to make money off me, rather than actually addressing the problems. ive lost 5mm on both sets of teeth. I have visible cracks that are getting worse. My gums are also bad due to receeding. My last dentist jsut said that they wernt as bad as i thought , cleaned them and that was it. every so oftern i get shards of tooth break away inn my mouth, and as mentioned earlier, they are geting more and more wobbily and ground down. My dentist told me that capping could be a possible opton, but not without embracing a whole load of other issues too. im not getting very far with reegards to diagnosing issues and possible treatment. any advice would be very much appreciated. thank and regards,
A.
