The bonding chipped on several teeth. I live in TX now and my new dentist said that my teeth are stained on the inside. She recommended internal teeth bleaching or porcelain crowns. I was expecting more dental bonding but not crowns on six teeth. My anxiety is going off the charts with the thought of needing crowns. I need nitrous oxide to get dental bonding. Is there any way I can avoid crowns even if I have to switch dentists? &nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks &#8211; Leanne<br><br>Leanne,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re glad that you mentioned switching dentists. It\u2019s our suggestion that you find an experienced cosmetic dentist and ask for a second opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your description is stains on your teeth that were concealed with dental bonding. If you don\u2019t have root canal treatments on your teeth, we are unsure of why our dentist would recommend internal bleaching or crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each tooth needs to be ground down for a crown to fit over it. A trained cosmetic dentist treats teeth conservatively with a focus on saving healthy tooth structure. It sounds as if your dentist doesn\u2019t know much about cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Alternatives to Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A skilled cosmetic dentist will examine your teeth, take some digital x-rays to ensure they are internally healthy, and recommend treatment. You can make a quick getaway from your current dentist because there are alternatives to grinding down your teeth to place crowns. Treatment recommendations might include one or more of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Teeth bleaching<\/strong> \u2013 Before any cosmetic work is completed on your teeth, if you want to brighten your smile, <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/teeth-whitening-plano.html\">bleaching will be completed first<\/a>. The dentist will match the cosmetic bonding or other treatment to match your whitened natural teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Dental bonding<\/strong> \u2013 A cosmetic dentist can skillfully remove the old dental bonding and replace it.<\/li><li><strong>Porcelain veneers<\/strong> \u2013 If there is damage to teeth that bonding won\u2019t conceal, your cosmetic dentist might recommend porcelain veneers for one or more teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"260\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of female patient sitting and relaxing in a dental chair, for information on sedation dentistry from Plano female dentist, Dr. Miranda Lacy.\" class=\"wp-image-1296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist.jpg 260w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption>Ask your new cosmetic dentist about sedation options<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule consultations with at least two cosmetic dentists in your area.
