What is the best treatment for my chipped tooth, veneers or lumineers?
Q.
Hi I have a front upper tooth chipped (a nip underneath when I was hit with a stick many years ago- only mentioning this in case you think I don’t look after my teeth) I have had it repaired with something that was bonded onto it although it still shows a hair crack line where the join is barely visible unless seen close up. Would it be better to have a veneer or a crown as regards longetivity and if so how much will it cost? Also out of interest are there any technological advances better than lumineer or other long term solutions I heard a while back in the papers that a technique was being innovated whereby a whole tooth could be re-grown somehow. Many Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your questions
Hi and thanks for your questions
I would advise that you come for a consultation so that your questions can be answered correctly and so that an accurate diagnosis of your problems is made. It may be the case that a veneer is the best option but we have to take into consideration many things before making that decision.
Whether or not a Lumineer is the right choice for you or not also needs to examined properly. The most important thing when choosing a veneer , or any dental laboratory work, is that the right master technician is employed for the job and that the correct material for your particular situation is used
We can find out all these answers at a face to face meeting
Hope that helps
Kind regards
