Composite or crowns

Hi,

I recently started treatment for my teeth as they were very worn and you could not see them when I smiled. This was caused by me grinding my teeth and it shortened them a lot. I am reviving orthodontic treatment free on NHS and was offered to take surgery to show more teeth or use composites to build my teeth back up. I chose to avoid surgery and build my teeth up with composites.

My worry is though that composites won't last as my teeth was damaged in first place with grinding. I asked for crowns but they seem reluctant to give me them.

Should I push the issue for crowns ? Also what would be my reasons for getting them ?

Thanks

Brad

Do you fall under any of these reason; if yes, then consider going for crowns.
  • Broken or fractured teeth
  • Cosmetic enhancement
  • Decayed teeth
  • Fractured fillings
  • Large fillings
  • Root canal on a tooth
  • Implant enhancement
Still it is recommended you consult a good dental clinic who will guide you proper treatment.

If you're suffering from damaged, cracked or diseased teeth you may benefit from dental crowns. It can prevent further damage to the tooth in question as well as the surrounding teeth.
