can u suggest an alternative for night guard?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi,I have recently been told by my dentist that the damage to my teeth is caused by grinding during the night.This is evident as i have very bad wear on my two front teeth.They are a lot shorter than my other top teeth and have formed an arch shape.It has got to the stage where people are noticing and i am reluctant to smile.I have been given a night guard to wear but i feel my teeth need to be treated with caps or veneers as well as the further protection that the guard will give,what do you recommend?

It depends on how severe your … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can u gimme some advice on veneer replacements?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan Just to say thanks very much for kindly replying to my question about my worries about possibly unsecure veneers, and putting my mind at ease. Could I just ask you for your expertise on this q, as these veneers I am referring to are uneven, my dentist has offered to replace one of the central ones for me in order to make it match the other side (as it was in temps!) to make things look more even and symmetrical. In your experience, is replacing one central veneer ok in terms of aesthetics or is it a bit too risky in terms of an exact colour match etc? Im wondering if I would be best perhaps asking for the central 2 to be replaced together.. just want to get the right treatment. Thanks so much
