I chipped off a tiny, tiny part off the back of the molar, so tiny that there's still tooth below the part that was chipped off. I'm feeling no pain but am going to the dentist anyway. As the back part chipped off it exposes the filling I have in that tooth, will the dentist just apply some more filling to it or will they decide to go full pelt and give me a crown despite the chip being so small?

Thank you for your inquiry and time in submitting your photo. This is a great question! The number of anterior crowns/veneers you're looking to get depends on what your overall goals may be. Generally speaking, of course one crown would be alright but for a more dramatic look, 4-6 anterior...
Hi, thanks for the question... I recommend Cerec cam because is without any metals, is better for your health, besides, need less cutting on your teeth. Regards
I would recommend remaking the crowns, they are indeed too dark. I think the lab could do a better job with a different material as well.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
