I had a fall in September which resulted in me hitting my mouth and cracking my front tooth. It’s not cracked in half, but there is a horizontal crack in the tooth that is visible.
I have been to the dentist several times since this has happened and had many check ups and X-rays. I’m told that the tooth has not died yet, will die eventually and at that point I will need RCT and then a crown or veneer. Although I don’t want any of that to happen, I’ve accepted it is the inevitable, however, I don’t want to get any of that done until I HAVE to.
I have asked my dentist what I can do in the mean time to improve the overall look of the tooth and he has said the least invasive approach is to get a composite veneer/composite bonding done on that tooth to disguise/cover the crack, but get my teeth whitened beforehand. I like the idea of this but my dentist has said that composite bonding is high maintenance and I will have to go back every 6-9 months to get a clean.
I was just wondering if anyone had had anything like this done, do you regret it? Is the composite bonding a pain to maintain etc? I really want my smile back but I’m worried I’ll regret having this done.
