    Default Best way to deal with eroroded enamel

    The tooth enamel on the top part of my two front has been errored away, about .5cm, to the extent that I can easily feel the missing enamel with my finger and its visible when looking in a mirror?

    What is the best treatment for this? Would veneers be sufficent? One person has suggested that the errored part will be filled using a standard filling substance, but i am worried the filling will be a different colour to my teeth.

    Hi

    Of course I would recommend a full consultation to explain your options with certaintity.

    Your options may be
    1. building up the tooth with composite material (white filling material)
    2. veneers
    3. crowns.

    Each option has advantage and disadvantages, and will dictated by what is found on examination.
