Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like to have my four upper front teeth treated. The left central and lateral incisors and the right lateral incisor are damaged or have been filled several times; the right central incisor is fine. I am considering ceramic crowns, but I am unsure whether to have them on all four teeth or only on the three that are damaged. My dentist suggested crowns on all four because of appearance, but I feel it would be a shame to damage or grind down a healthy tooth. I would like to know what you would do and what the waiting time for such a procedure is at your practice.
Thank you and kind regards.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Brigita!
It is certainly best to follow the advice of the dentist who is fully familiar with the problem. In principle, it is possible to match the appearance of artificial teeth to the existing healthy teeth so that the difference cannot be noticed. It might be better to choose aesthetic veneers if the teeth in question are not too severely damaged. The procedure is less radical than making a conventional crown.
Have a nice day!
