My teeth are in a bad state after accident playing cricket. Could I get my lower teeth capped so they don’t protrude?

Q.
Hello Many years ago I had my front four teeth skittled by a cricket ball, which resulted in me having to wear a gum stripper plate. Also the two teeth either side have been capped. My bottom teeth have started to protrude over the years, which has ment that the upper plate teeth has been adjusted also. End result is a very unhappy me, with unsightly smile. I think the best course is to get the lower teeth all capped so they dont protrude, then either a bridge built over the top front gum (possible couple of inplants) ? Is this feesable? Many thanks ,

Should my dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix my problem?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Q.
I just had my very back tooth capped last year and had gone back to the dentist for my yearly check-up and was told that I had a leaking tooth where it was just capped which indicated decay. Should the dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix the problem. They mention several times how well I take care of my teeth with brushing and flossing so I do not think it was my fault. Please advise, thank you!,

I want my capped tooth to look identical to my other tooth, what do you suggest?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Q.
Unfortunately my front took was chipped and so i got it capped. However, that one tooth is wonky and sticks out quite noticably. I recently went to the dentist and she said the best thing to do is to get a root canal. However, when i asked if this would then make my capped tooth look idential to my other tooth, she didn’t look convince that it would. All i want is these two teeth to match! Its really getting me down. I am a student & so haven’t the funding. However, i only have a HC3 certificate so procedures will still be pricey.,

Thinking about teeth whitening and lumineer treatment, any advice?

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Q.
I am not happy with my smile. I have moderate peridontal disease and have had treatments but now I am on a regime of bi yearly cleanings. My two front teeth are capped. Now with my gums receding the front teeth don’t look right to me. I was thinking of lumineers and teeth whitening so I am more confident with my smile. Is this something that would be beneficial for me. Thank you for your time.
