I have a pit on my fang at the gum level abrasion cavity is veneer the only option
Q. I have a pit to my ‘fang’ just below gum line, no pain, about 1mm squared, looks like just enamel has eroded. Can\’t it just be filled? Is a veneer the only option?
A. Dear H
It sounds like you have an “abrasion cavity” where some of the enamel has been worn away at the gum level. It can usually be filled very simply with a bonded tooth coloured filling. The procedure is very straight forward and often no tooth has to be drilled away. A veneer would be a very aggressive option.

I hope this helps
