Any other option besides crowns due to discoloration?

Options for Discolorations
Oct 6, 2017

Glad to hear you are getting back on track with your oral care and improving your smile. Without pictures to see the severity of the discolorations, its difficult to make the appropriate recommendations. It is wise to wait till after ortho is done before doing crowns (as long as you discuss expectations of your final look with them).

Porcelain Veneers – an option to help my bite / spacing / bucked teeth?

Porcelain Veneers An Option
Oct 6, 2017

Wow, it sounds like you’ve been through a lot of dentistry to fix your smile. Considering the issues you are wanting to address, veneers can fix the enamel chipping. However, veneers will not address the labial cant or “bucked” appearance of the top teeth. It may even accentuate your current profile. Sometimes, we can bring the incisal edges back a little bit based on how the tooth preparation is done, however, it may not be enough to significantly address your…

My temporary crown hurts with pressure applied.

Painful temp
Oct 6, 2017

Sorry to hear you are having discomfort with your temporary. It can be an issue with your occlusion on the temporary crown. If the opposing tooth is hitting heavily on the temporary, it can “bruise” the ligaments that hold the tooth into the bone, set up inflammation and be the source of pain when applying pressure. The tooth can also become hypersensitive to cold because the temporary margin may not be covering all the tooth structure, inflammation in the gums secondary…

Color fix
Oct 6, 2017

Its great you’re getting to “test drive” them before they go in with final cement. Depending on what type of material the crowns are made of, the color of the porcelain can be influenced by the color of the cement that will be used to bond them in with. Typically, there are try in pastes that can be used before to check if the color can be corrected without having to send the restorations back to the lab. If that is not enough, the lab can correct the color of the porcelain…

How can I correct a deep bite with crowns, bridge and an implant?

Deep Bite
Jan 20, 2017

It sounds like years of wear on your teeth has affected your confidence in your ability to smile. I would advise you to seek a dentist who is trained in full mouth rehabilitation. From your description, the skill set needed to address your concerns is more involved than those who do “drill and fill” dentistry. Patients of ours who have undergone treatment in rehabilitating their whole mouth not only look and feel better, they often comment of how they wish…

Discoloration on #9. Should I get a RCT? If so, can I place a veener on this tooth or crown? (Photo

Discolored #9
Dec 26, 2016

You have really thought this through which makes it easier for when you have a conversation with your dentist. A pulp test as well as a radiograph of the area will help determine if you need a RCT or not. That being said, it can really a difficult decision as to whether two crowns are placed on 8/9 versus a crown on #9 and a veneer on #8. Depending on how discolored #9 presents and how much tooth structure is left, it is better to have a crown on that tooth to help mask the…

Is It Possible to Lengthen Front Two Teeth with a Partial Veneer?

Adding length to your teeth
Sep 23, 2011

So sorry to hear so much was taken away from your front teeth. I'm not sure if a partial veneer would work in your best interest. Veneering process involves removing a thin amount of tooth structure off the front, sides and edge of the tooth. The tooth surface removed is then replaced by a thin shell of porcelain. The bonding of the veneers, if done correctly, can provide you with years of service from your new pretty smile. That being said, a partial…
