Hi . Please find out the reason for loss of enamel . If it's due to fluorosis then your teeth will become brittle in some time and will break eventually . To prevent loss of that extent you need to go for veneers . Today in dentistry we have veneers which have strength comparable to that of normal teeth . So be rest assured . If the reason for loss is anything else like trauma , acidity etc then treat the cause first and then the tooth.
