My top front teeth have tooth erosion caused by fizzy drinks

Q. Hi, My top front teeth have tooth erosion caused by fizzy drinks. They don’t look to bad at the moment, but you can notice if you look closly. My enamal is coming off the tops of my teeth and the bottoms look a little see-through. I am rather concerned about this and was wondering what the cost and procedure would be, without having to get porcelan veneers as i do not have the money for that.

A. The other options that you have are to alater your diet to exclude eroding substances such as acid containing drinks, to wear a night guard to reduce the wear on your teeth, to have composite bonding on your teeth to replace the missing enamel.
