You may not be aware of your grinding habit, but the generalized wear facets on your teeth are indicative of a grinding habit. That type of wear only occurs when there are excessive grinding forces. I recommend being conservative for the small chips and adding bonding/white filling material to the edges of those teeth to protect them from further wear and then wearing a bite guard at night to reduce the forces on your teeth, muscles, and jaw joints. The cold sensitivity may be from the exposed dentin which is the yellow layer under the white enamel layer. It is often hypersensitive to cold You can cover all the exposed areas with filling material.

i have few chips on my teeth , i dont grind them at night. i feel very sensitive when i try to breathe through my mouth and when air passes by my teeth , i feel little pain too . i feel like biting something to clam the pain and sensitivity , what should i do ? what kind of treatment do u suggest ?? i m very confused .

A lot of small chips on my teeth. What should I do? (Photo)

Stay away from the major stainers- coffee, tea, red wine, cigarettes. Veneers shouldn't stain, but natural teeth and bonding do.&nbsp;

How Do I Prevent Staining my Teeth or Veneers?

Veneers can't absorb stain, which is good. However, they can't absorb bleach either. if you feel like they're getting darker there may be some leakage or something else going on so maybe just have them checked by your dentist. You may try bleaching the back part of the tooth and see if you have any success with that.&nbsp;

It seems like my <a href='http://www.realself.com/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>veneers</a> have gotten slightly darker. Is there any way to go about whitening them? Please help! Thank you!

Is There Any Way to Whiten Veneers?

Unlike natural teeth, or composite bonding, veneers do not absorb stain. They should stay white generally. Just stay away from abrasive polshes and toothpastes&nbsp;

just spent a bunch on my <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>porcelain veneers</a>, but I still drink coffee and smoke.&nbsp; how can i keep them looking bright white?

How Do I Keep my Dental Veneers White?

If you've chipped half the tooth off, bonding may not hold up that well, but you could try it first if you want to be as conservative as possible. You just may not be able to achieve as great aesthetics as you could with a veneer. A veneer will look the best and it's still reasonably conservative. You shouldn't need to replace it for many years and you can get &nbsp;a root canal through the back of the tooth without affecting the front

The bottom half of my front tooth was chipped. I want to know what my options are, and how long on average will this restoration last? Since I am only 20, how many times will I need to replace it during my life? If I place a porcelain veneer on the tooth, and it eventually needs a root canal, will the veneer need to be replaced with a crown?

Options for Chipped Front Tooth Restoration

Often times it is required to place a crown on a root canal treated tooth because once the tooth dies, it becomes brittle and it loses its color. Even though this tooth has not had a root canal done to it, it may be dead. I actually think you should consider seeing another root canal specialist to evaluate the possiblility of treating it even though it may be calcified. Many root canal specialists are able to penetrate through the calcified portion depending on how severe it is.&nbsp; A veneer is an option too, which is more conservative, but it depends on how much stress you're putting on that tooth to determine if that's a good option for you. I think the best thing, if you do end up getting a root canal is to try to bleach the tooth internally after the root canal and see if you can get it back to its original color.&nbsp;

My dentist sent me to a specialist who performs root canals. This dentist told me that my tooth has calcified and he cannot perform a root canal. All of my other teeth are healthy and straight. Should I consider a veneer or crown for this front, top tooth? Will it be possible to match it to my other teeth?

What Is The Best Option For A Dead Front Tooth?

Composite can be a great temporary option, however it tends to discolor over time and it's difficult to achieve some of the necessary properties like translucency, shading, and texture that a veneer can achieve when its fabricated in a dental laboratory.

Composite Vs. Porcelain Veneers, What's the Difference?

A veneer is more conservative than a crown. It is only a facing. If the tooth is generally healthy and does not have large existing restorations or a root canal, it will more than likely only require a veneer. Crowns are helpful if the tooth has a root canal, or its moderately misaligned, or it has large fillings in it, or it is undergoing severe stress. &nbsp;Generally a veneer is a better option if possible, because it is more conservative.

it&#39;s not like i&#39;m in front of the camera, smiling all the time, but my teeth need help..especially how dull and uneven they look. when does a dentist suggest crowns and when do they recommend <a href='/reviews/porcelain-veneers'>veneers</a>?

Porcelain Veneers Vs Dental Crowns?

Depending on how wide you smile, its generally best to do 8-10 veneers. 6 is never a great option because the canines are where the teeth in your arch take a turn and you tend to get a shadowing effect of the teeth behind the canines if you don't veneer at least one more tooth past the canine on each side. I would recommend at least 8.

My teeth have low enamel and I have already tried almost all of the I'm dentist whitening. My teeth are very yellowish and it affects my self esteem and my personal life. Is getting veneers for the top 6 good enough or do I have to fldo upper and lower ? My smile usually shoes 6-8 of my front teeth. The cost is another reason I don't want to veneer all my teeth.

Veneers for my top 6 teeth?

It looks like you have a history of bruxism or grinding which has caused this, so you would need strong restorations, such as crowns to prevent further breakdown. Your bite will need to be assessed in case it needs to be opened slightly by placing some restorations on your back teeth as well. And ultimately you will need to be in a nightguard.

my top front teeth were replaced with caps. my bottom teeth, however, has the enamel worn off to a yellow color. the dentist suggested bonding, but some of your comments suggest they don't last long and stain more. I asked her about caps, like my upper teeth, but she didn't think that was a good idea. she said possibly endup needing a root canal. we didn't even discuss veneers?.... would caps be a better route of the three or bonding or veneers...I need something that will last and stay white.

Are caps the best choice for someone who has ground their front teeth and enamel down to yellow? (Photo)
