I fell and broke my top two front teeth off this past Friday. Can they be fixed? (Photo)

Question

The two teeth hurt a tiny bit with air..or cool water on them. My dentist said she can't bond them. She said 3/4th crown 1,000 for both teeth... I'm suppose to get a temporary fix this Thursday for 3/4 crowns... or should i go elsewhere for veneers? Are veneers much more expensive? What lasts longer for front top teeth typically? Help please.. I included pic. of my teeth before this past Friday.. Makes me cry.. Thank you very much for any advice offered in advance.. Smiling now mouth closed. :(

In your case, a crown would probably provide more structure and durability over the years.  This is a pretty easy fix, as long as the two new crowns match the neighboring teeth in the front.  Update your post with an after pic, once you get a chance.  Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDReal Self 100

It looks like the treatment plan given to you by your dentist is the ideal treatment plan for your situation.  Make sure that the crowns that are made are all porcelain crowns and not metal ones.  The fee is more than fair.  Good luck.

Susan Hollinsworth, DDS (retired) · Answer

A 3/4 crown is not substantially different than a veneer. She is just indicating that she needs to wrap the restoration around the tooth more because of the amount that is broken. The treatment plan seems to be appropriate and the cost is fair. Veneers would not be less expensive as they basically involve the same procedure; look at them as half crowns.
