Broke my tooth in half
I met with an accident few days back, and broke my front tooth into half, lost the other piece of tooth. now when i consulted a dentist he said composite filling will be done as the roots are not damaged but I feel crown is the better option as if i will get composite filling done it will not alow me to eat apple and its temporary. what should I do? and if i go for veneers which dentist is the best in jaipur?

Hello Mam,
you can consult a cosmetic dentist for the same.Direct pressure is not advised even with veneers/crowns but their long term prognosis is better.

Hi, I would suggest you to go for minimally invasive treatment I.e filling it veneer as saving your natural tooth is very crucial. Composite is not a temporary treatment.
