BLACK TOOTH – DEAD FRONT TOOTH

A front tooth that isn’t healthy, or what some may call “dead,” can be ugly and even indicate a serious oral infection. You should get any teeth you suspect are non-vital evaluated as soon as possible.

The sooner you schedule an appointment for a tooth that appears to be out of place, the sooner you may begin treatment to save your smile. Learn how to treat a single front tooth that is dead, discoloured, and black as see as see here our before and after on how we improve patients smiles with Black tooth – Dead front tooth.

Black Teeth Treatment Options

What is the most effective way to whiten a single, dark, black dead tooth in the front?

To begin, the patient can try internally bleaching the affected area to see if that helps. My personal experience has shown that it works roughly 70% of the time. Internal bleaching can be accomplished in a variety of ways. One concern with internal bleaching is the risk of internal resorption and relapse, which means you have to keep doing it.

If this is not an option, a single veneer can be applied and the dark tone beneath covered up. Once again, there are several strategies for achieving excellent results. One of the better results appears to be obtained by blocking off the black teeth with an opaque composite before taking the veneer imprint. A cosmetic dentist with porcelain veneer experience will be required to match the porcelain veneer’s colour, tone, curves, and texture.
Another option is to bleach your teeth before getting the porcelain veneer if you desire whiter teeth.
