Will dentinogenesis cause problem in having veneers?
Q. When i was very young i believe i was diagnosed with i think its called dentyne a gein or something similar,because my daughter was diagnosed with it as well.My problem is that i have small teeth and would like to have verneers but my dentist says it is not possible because of the pressure that would be put on them is this true and what can i do
A. I believe your condition is dentinogenesis Imperfecta – This is where the dentine fails to form properly and the enamel breaks away. It is difficult to treat because the teeth are weaker and the dentine is difficult to bond to.You need to be properly assessed and may be referred to a postgraduate dental hospital.
