Case Description
I have flat fillings on all my upper and lower molars. So there is no anatomy to my teeth. I recently have seen a new dentist who is recommending that I have them all reconstructed with onlays and crowns. She says it will fix my occlusion and the clinching that I am experiencing. The occlusion in her opinion is also causing my lower incisors to have these dark lines around the root. She claims these teeth will fall out in 6-7 years with prevention. Please help. Has anyone heard of flat fillings causing these problems. Is reconstruction drastic for someone who is 31 yrs old?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
