Horizontal fracture on upper front tooth from trauma 5 days ago. Other front tooth has root canal. Have veneers and told its only a matter of time before crown or implant needed. Will get all 8 veneers replaced. Best to see prospdontist or reputable cosmetic dentist? Do I continue to wear night guard to lessen damage and tighten up teeth or take a break from night guard?

Answer: I would recommend x-rays first, and vitality testing, also transillumination is a useful method
The rate of 35% carbamide is too much for home bleaching. It can damage not only the teeth, but also the gums. we normally recommend 10-16% for 4-8 hours or 22% for 1 hour a day. Applying fluoride to the teeth against the sensitivity of your teeth will be beneficial to protect the teeth.
Hello and thank you for your question.
I firmly believe that composite bonding is the best option in your case.
It is very simple, inexpensive, painless and will look and feel great.
All the best to you.

Hello Imaginative115107,
Veneers could be a great way of repairing those chips.
To be sure you apply for veneers your bite would first need to be examined. Unfortunately, those with an over and underbite, do not apply for veneers, as the constant friction would cause them to break.
Best of luck!
