What treatment choices do I have for fused front teeth?

Question

Hello doctor,

My front teeth are fused. Even smiling properly is an ordeal. What treatment choices do I have? Is there anything that 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 do not want something as invasive as extraction.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I would suggest that you go for full ceramic crowns instead of veneers. Full ceramic crowns are expensive, but they are esthetically very good.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Crowns can be placed on the existing teeth. If you get crowns done, a tooth will be reduced from all five surfaces and will be given proper shape. Though veneers are a less invasive procedure, the 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 the back portion as well.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
