Is It Really Necessary For Me To Have My Teeth Removed?

Q.
I’d like to improve the appearance of my 4 upper front teeth (molars) . One of the side ones has recently been crowned ; its alignment with the other teeth could be improved upon, but one of the centre molars is protruding, therefore it’s quite difficult. The remaining 3 upper front molars are covered in veneers which have to be replaced often due to discolouration of the white fillings. The dentist did suggest that I could crown the remaining 3 front molars. I am unsure whether I want my natural teeth removed despite ongoing discolouration of white fillings/veneers. What are the options ; my teeth are quite grey in colour : A3 I think was the colour of the recent crown.

If you want to change your smile you need to look at the other teeth are you happy with shape ? colour if not whiten your teeth first and then have the front 4 remade to match. Make sure your dentist is skilled in cosmetic dentistry if not maybe look for someone else to carry out this work. As one tooth is protruding you could have some orthodontics to straighten your teeth first and the have new veneers/crowns as needed.
