Unfortunately, my nos. 12, 22, and 23 teeth have been affected by initial caries about 1/3 away from the gums. Since this really bothers me, I’m searching for an aesthetically perfect solution. The no. 12 tooth has already been treated with a plastic filling, but I’m completely unsatisfied with the result. The color of the filling doesn’t match the color of the tooth at all. I think that the dentist doesn’t place much value on aesthetics and that it could’ve been done much better.
I would like to hear your opinion about plastic fillings in the area of the anterior teeth. Is it possible to prepare a filling in such a way that it’s barely noticeable or not noticeable at all? Is it true that plastic fillings become discolored over time? If that’s the case, what factors promote discoloration or, rather, is it possible to delay discoloration? And what material would you recommend in the area of the anterior teeth?
Furthermore, I would be interested in finding out whether a veneer is still possible if the plastic filling is removed and the tooth is uneven after that procedure. Does the tooth have to be even for a veneer?
Also, I would be interested in finding out whether the WGKK [health insurance] would pay for the provision for the incisors and canines with the plastic fillings.
Thank you very much in advance for answering my questions.
Kind regards,
