Broken tooth.
Aug 27, 2014

Hi,The dentist can perform a vitality test.. (preferably after a week or two since at the beginning the tooth is usually tender and hyperactive and that can give faulty result).. after the vitality test if the tooth is tested vital (normal) then I would suggest bonding the tooth until the child is older (around age 18) then a permanent crown can be placed.

Braces or Veneers
May 18, 2014

It is hard to decide without looking at the pictures.. But generally speaking if you like the (size), the (shape) and the ( color) of your original teeth but the problem is spaces or crowding then I would choose Braces. but if the size, shape, color is not what you like then even if they are straight, you wouldn’t like them.

This is only generally speaking since I don’t have enough information to make that…

White Veneers
Apr 26, 2014

Sorry to hear about your veneers. Normally we let the patient decide the color since they are the ones who are going to live with it, and we make sure they are no less that 100 % happy with the color “before” cementing the veneers or crowns, by using Veneer Try In Paste, to mimic the results prior to permanently cement them. Unfortunately the only solution you have is to change them to the color you like and make sure to see them in different lights ( sun light and indoor ) prior to have…

Can veneers be bonded back if they come off?

Veneers
Apr 9, 2014

Veneers can come off for multiple reasons such as inadequate calculation of the the bite, when patients have clenching/ grinding habits , that can loosen the bonding over time although four months seem to bee too short to cause that , or an outside trauma such as in your case (the spoon).. The fact that you don’t remember of they were moving before most likely they weren’t. If you feel that they move when you bite I recommend that you call your dentist and have them checked, I wouldn’t…
