Hey Ustwo..
Coupla not so quick dental questions.
I have a good bite, no malocclusion. I have numerous small and some larger lesions which usually appear around my crown regions near the gumline on the facial sides. I have one tooth, #9 that is malailigned, but not bothersome. These cavitary lesions are probably caused by night time gritting, but not grinding of teeth.
Now for the question...are veneers (post restoration) a good option for me? I want a better grill, I was thinking that maybe porcelin veneers could give me the look I want and the coverage could help with my sensitivity and future lesions? Is this a correct assumption?
Would I be wasting my money? And do these last? I'm getting only about three years out of any herculite bonding (mostly secondary to those small fractures I get with the gritting).
I'm looking for an objective opinion before I go interviewing docs. I've had some work done at the local dental school (UNC), but it takes forever. I at least learned a lot from them, none of which helps me in this decision.
Any input is great, thanks in advance.
I
