Would I be able to have a brace and a crown at the same time?

February 14th, 2013
Q.

When I was about 13 I chipped my front tooth and because I was so young my dentist put porcelain over it and over another tooth that was supposedly chipped. Now being 19 the porcelain has chipped a little and, being originally discoloured but is now very discoloured. I want the necessary porcelain taken off my one canine and a cap on my front tooth and my teeth whitened. I need the crown to cover my chipped tooth. Would I then be able to have a brace? I will be getting my teeth whitened but I don’t know whether I can a) have the crown before the brace and B) have the tooth whitening before or after. For such a seemingly small problem I have to go through all this, could you please pass me any knowledge of this situation? Thank you

Is Dental bonding good for filling gaps on my four front teeth or is a brace the better option?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Is Dental bonding good for filling medium gaps on four front teeth? What is the best dental bonding material? I considered veneers but the dentist said that dental bonding would be more suitable for my bite as veneers might break or chip off. I would like minimal preparation to my teeth. What about braces? Is there any type of brace that is suitable? My teeth are healthy and straight but have medium gaps to the four upper front teeth. Could cerec material be used for filling the gaps. Could this be done with minimal preparation of teeth so that it could be reversed if required.
