My bottom teeth are worn down, I think because I may grind my teeth in my sleep. Should i get crowns or veneers?

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010
Q.

Hi. I am fifty five years old and my teeth are well looked after, and quite white with the bleaching that I have done every five years with my dentist. The problem is that my bottom teeth are quite worn down, i may grind them in my sleep. I have started to wear the cover that were for the bleaching to stop me from doing this. What do yiou think is the best option for me. Either to have crowns on them all, which II understand to be very very strong these days. Or for veneers, but are they as good, or as long lasting.

Should I go for root canal and then crowns or veneers on badly worn tooth? These are two dentist’s different opinions.

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Q.
In the states, the dentist wants to do four root canals and then crowns on the lower 4 front teetch, as they are badly worn from a major overbite. The Costa Rica dentest says why ruin good teeth as the roots are very strong. I understand that porcelin does not do well on dentyn and needs to be on enamil which I don’t have any. He states that a hard composite veneer is better suited on teech with not enamil.,
