What would be the best way to fix a worn and chipped upper front tooth if I have an underbite?
Jun 11, 2014

Actually you have an advantage to correcting a chipped upper front tooth with direct composite bonding, as your lower teeth don’t hit hard on it as with patients who have normal bite or overbite.However, it seems that your teeth are not equal in size and width, and you may want to see a cosmetic dentist to have porcelain veneers on your front two teeth. That would correct the chipping problem, and the color and size descrepancy.

At this stage you may be much better off getting porcelain veneers to make your canine tooth look like a lateral incisor, and your first premolar look like a canine tooth. This can be completed in just a couple appointments and would avoid years treatment to do both orthodontics and a dental implant with crown. There are definitely some down sides to doing orthodontics at your age and trying to open up the space, which may include now needing to remove another tooth to make room.

I disagree with your dentist. Go to an orthodontist and I am absolutely convinced that he will recommend orthodontics (either invisalign or braces) to correct your spacing and crookedness of your teeth.If you decide not to get orthodontics, then you could have either direct composite bonding between your front two teeth to close the gap, or porcelain veneers on your front four teeth to make them all straight and proper proportion (your lateral incisors are much smaller than your…

It is difficult to remove a fixed bridge that has been cemented without destroying it. Techniques that some dentists use to tap a fixed bridge off all intact run the risk of fracturing the underlying teeth. However, the bridge can be removed, just that you may not be able to use it again.Can the false tooth (dentists call this a “pontic”) be removed off of a fixed bridge? Yes it can. The dentist can usually drill off the pontic without destroying the other two teeth…

First of all, you do have gingivitis and that is probably why your space developed. So, the first order for you is see your dentist, have your teeth professionally cleaned, and then start flossing and brushing daily. This will help your gum recession from occuring in other areas of your mouth, but may not cause your gums to return to their normal height.

You have a severe malocclusion and there is no “quick fix” for treating it, but it can and should be treated. I highly recommend you see an orthodontist, a dentist who is a specialist at problems such as yours. You age isn’t necessarily a problem.

If just a bit too long and pointy, your canines could be reshaped. This procedure is called “enameloplasty” and is very frequently utilized by cosmetic dentists and has little or no downside.However, if there are other issues with their shape, then porcelain veneers might be the best way to correct the shape of your canines. Porcelain veneers are considered by many to be the treatment of choice for those wishing corrections in shape, length and color of natural teeth.
