No. If you remove the gold filling you will have a space between your teeth and an unprotected tooth. However, you can fill in the space the gold occupied with tooth colored restorative material.good luck!
Hi TsepangThat is a good question. Once the gold is removed, you should try to avoid getting it replaced with a full crown. I would also recommend asking the dentist for alternatives to porcelain veneers. Many dentists who don't know better may say that you need to do two or even four veneers to make your teeth look great again...that is not the case.Modern techniques available in the last three years include taking a digital 3D scan and designing a perfect shape tooth on a special DSD or digital smile design software. The dentists print a very accurate plastic life-size model and use transparent silicon to make a mould. When you return for the treatment, the gold will be removed without damaging the rest of your tooth or drilling away any more enamel. This looks like it will require a dental anaesthetic injection to numb the area. Special glue is applied to your remaining tooth, and the clear mould is placed over what's left of your tooth. Now comes the magic!! The dentist injects a unique liquid ceramic through a pinhole to cover all the broken or missing parts of your tooth and stick very firmly to all your remaining enamel. A bright light is shone on the tooth, and it hardens. When the silicone is removed, the tooth is perfect, just like on the computer and printed model. A quick polish, and it looks fantastic. Your new tooth is exceptionally strong. The best thing is you didn't need to drill away any enamel or bond ceramic over the front of the whole tooth. Your other teeth are untouched.Warm regards from Cape Town.Dr Clifford Yudelman
If you have multiple fillings on some of the teeth, 4 crowns is probably the best option. 3/4 crowns or veneers may not even be options due to it being necessary to remove the fillings completely to get the longest lasting result. (Fillings cannot stick well to veneers or 3/4 crowns). 4 crowns...
There is a way to restore that smile,and make a more aesthetical hollywood look,with Zyrconia crowns,shape size and even color can be done within just a couple of days and you will certainly will improve and have the smile you always wanted.
According to the pictures, in your specific case porcelain veneers or crowns also can be applied. This depends on the health of your teeth and gums. If there is too much caries and dental stones crowns can be better after cleaning all the caries and dental stones. You can still wear retainers...
