Q: My front tooth is half broken for the last 15 years. What is the best thing for this? I have heard that it can be fixed with laser, but will that stay?
A:There are options without a cap depending on the state of the broken tooth. If it requires a root canal then it is to be capped. Otherwise even a build up with a post can be done with light cure material. These build ups may come off depending on the use/misuse by the patient.
