Are there any good alternatives to crown treatment?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have broken one of my front teeth when I was about 10 years old, my dentist put one of these cosmetic fillings that you put around a pin that he inserts in your tooth, when I became 16 I changed that filling because it was starting to decay and my tooth looked much better. However, when I turned 18 I chipped a small piece of that filling and now it doesn’t look as good as it used to be. when I went to my dentist to change it again he told that the only way to replace is to file the whole tooth and put a crown on it, but he also discouraged me to do so because of the nature of putting a crown on a fore tooth and how it would be hard to fix when it changes color. His opinion was is to keep my current filling for as long as I can then put the filling so it can last me longer. Is there any possible way to fix my tooth without reserving to crowns that would be much stable and less risky. If not is there any possible way to fix my current filling so it can last me longer, something that will make it feel and look better?

thank you very much

Friday, July 27th, 2012
Q.

can i ask my dentist for a bridge? about 10 years ago i went to a dentist dause i had a stain on one of my teeth next to the main ones at the front? had it done and it was ok a few years later i chipped it and i went to a different dentist who took a xray and said i needed root and nerve treatment. had that done and she said she will fit a crown unfortunatly she claims my last dentist had gave me a really big filling and removed half my tooth which was a shock? i had the crown fitted but unfortunatly i think she had taken even more of my tooth and there isn’t enough tooth there now for the crown to stick to and it keeps dropping out? i keep crying cause im sick of been messed with and worrying if its gonna drop out when im out in public i aint eaten for 3 weeks cause im scared to can i ask for a bridge and be done with it?

I have chipped the corner of my tooth, what is the most natural looking treatment for this?

Monday, September 12th, 2011
Q.

12 years ago I had an accident where I came off of my bike and chipped the corner off of my left front tooth. I had a cap placed onto the end to re-build the tooth, and for a while it looked like my natural tooth, but it has now discoloured and the line where my original tooth broke off is very visible. I am now looking into getting my tooth re-done, but don’t know what route to go down for a natural long-term finish (i.e. cap, crown, veneer or something else??), as I am already very self-conscious of my tooth.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
Thank you

I have chipped two of my teeth, would crowns or veneers be a good option?

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011
Q.

Hi my 2 front teeth are chipped from an accident that happened last year, (one is only missing a thrid of the tooth and the other is missing 2/3rds of the tooth ) i don’t know whether to get Veneers or a Crown done ? I am scared that a veneer will just snap of and that they will have to grind away nearly all of my tooth for a crown. I have also had both nerves removed in the teeth. Thanks for your help

What is the best treatment for my chipped tooth, veneers or lumineers?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi I have a front upper tooth chipped (a nip underneath when I was hit with a stick many years ago- only mentioning this in case you think I don’t look after my teeth) I have had it repaired with something that was bonded onto it although it still shows a hair crack line where the join is barely visible unless seen close up. Would it be better to have a veneer or a crown as regards longetivity and if so how much will it cost? Also out of interest are there any technological advances better than lumineer or other long term solutions I heard a while back in the papers that a technique was being innovated whereby a whole tooth could be re-grown somehow. Many Thanks!
