my dentist has identified a cavity to the root at the rear and recommended a root canal filling before fitting veneer

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I am considering 3 veneers to improve chipped and ugly front teeth. On the lateral incisor my dentist has identified a cavity to the root at the rear and recommended a root canal filling before fitting veneer, as he said it could lead to future problems – abscess etc. The tooth does not give me any pain and I am slightly concerned about the implications of root canal filling, weakening the tooth etc. Do you think the dentist is correct?

This is difficult for me to te… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a very large filling in one of my upper rear teeth

Monday, December 8th, 2008
Q.
Hi, my question relates to crowns. I have a very large filling in one of my upper rear teeth (second from the back) my dentist thought the cavity was really a bit large to be filling but i didn’t want to lose the tooth so it was filled. I’ve been very careful with it and its lasted about 8 months but part of the tooth has now broken off, i assume this will only get worse and so my question is can the filling be ground down allong with the remaining tooth to support a crown, or does the filling have to be removed and the crown bonded just to the tooth as i don’t think there will be enough material to bond to if the filling is removed. thanks.

A.
Both options are possible, you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
