Dear Dr. Korwin,
My upper molar is broken below the gum line from a car accident and needs to be removed. I want my teeth to be easy to take care of. I have no idea if I should leave it alone or get a bridge or an implant. What should I do?
When teeth are removed and not replaced, the neighboring teeth shift. Your mouth can get uncomfortable when chewing, and cavities and gum disease grow faster. Take a tip from an expert, to make your mouth easiest and quickest to take care of, you should have the extracted tooth replaced as soon as possible, or at least use a retainer to keep the neighbors from shifting.

Dear Dr. Korwin,
My top front tooth is too dark and is badly chipped at the biting edge. How do I make it lighter and permanently fix the chip? I keep having it bonded and it breaks off again and again.
Dark tooth colors can be changed with whitening procedures. You can whiten one or all of your teeth slightly with strips or more deeply with gels in trays at home, or even more deeply with in-office whitening.
Following whitening, the chipped part can be straightened temporarily with bonding or long term with a porcelain veneer. Veneers can be layered on top of the tooth if the tooth is set too deeply back in your mouth. The veneer can also be inset into the tooth if all the teeth are straight, even and forward.
