As a dental professional, one of our jobs is to rebuild teeth that are highly compromised and not in the best of shape. This can be from trauma or from decay or other reasons. One of the challenges that we have is that we are currently unable to make materials that are as good as the tooth structure that you were born with and the human body is very unpredictable and things don't always go as we would like. The other problem is that when we place something in someone's mouth, they then leave and we have no idea what they are doing to or with their teeth. They are your teeth and even the best dentistry cannot make them perfect again. It is kind of like driving a new car off the lot, getting into an accident and then taking it back and saying you want a new one. Ultimately your mouth and health are your responsibility. Do your best with what you have and be grateful that you don't have to have dentures!
I have been placing cad/cam restorations for 6 years now in my office and have not seen damage to the surrounding teeth in any cases. The porcelain that was used years ago use to cause some major wear on the opposing tooth, but the material is designed today to prevent that from happening and in my office, it has not been an issue. Thanks!
It is hard to tell what exactly is going on with this picture, but Invisalign works well at aligning front teeth, so if you are just looking to round out your smile more, it is a good chance that you will have success.
I like the effort on the photos:) Invisalign works very well at aligning front teeth and rounding out your smile. We have brought teeth like this back many times doing just that. A thorough exam and evaluation would tell you for sure, but I would check it out if I were you! Enjoy the day!
There are billions of bacteria that live in the mouth and sometimes the conditions are just right that they will get under a temporary and turn it black. It is the bacteria that cause this and it can be cleaned off by brushing peroxide on the tooth. It doesn't do any damage, but if it is in front it can hinder the looks of the crown. Hope that helps!
