Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like your opinion. My two upper central incisors have white fillings and they are visibly becoming darker. How could this be solved?
In the upper right I have the lateral incisor and canine normal without fillings, I am missing the first premolar, the second premolar is a dark tooth with a dark filling, and the first and second molars only have dark fillings. How can I replace the first premolar and get rid of the dark appearance of the second premolar?
Thank you for your answer, continued success in your work and kind regards.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on what you wrote, I believe that the central incisors are non-vital and should first undergo root canal treatment. The teeth would then be ready for crowns on root posts.
At the site of the first premolar, an implant or a bridge from the canine to the second premolar can be made. Large dark fillings can be replaced with inlays or, in extreme cases, crowns. Replacing extensive dark fillings with white fillings is not recommended.
Have a nice day!
