Hello doctor,
My front teeth are fused together. Even smiling properly is an ordeal. What treatment choices do I have? Is there anything which is not so invasive like veneers? If extraction turns out to be the only option, will my teeth be removed from the roots? Is anything else possible? I really do not want something as invasive as extraction. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- I would suggest that you can go for full ceramic crowns instead of veneers.
- Full ceramic crowns are expensive, but they are esthetically very good.

Hi doctor,
Thanks for your reply. Cost is not really an issue. Can you please detail me a bit more on this? Is extraction absolutely required for crowns? Can they be used with my existing pair of teeth? Please guide.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Crowns can be placed on the existing teeth.
- If you get crowns done, tooth will be reduced from all the five surfaces and will be given proper shape.
- Though veneers are less invasive procedure, tooth is reduced from four surfaces and the back portion of the tooth is not reduced.
- As you have two teeth paired up, I think it is better to involve back portion as well.
