    A few years ago i went to my dentist about a tooth i have that sticks out, its the one next to my front tooth. i asked about braces and she gave me a retainer. this ended up cracking two of my front teeth (the crooked one and the one next to it). that was sore but what happened was it aggravated a cyst in my palate that i never knew i had (i was born with it apparently). i was in so much pain. anyway, i ended up having to get two root canal treatments on my two teeth. since then they have darkened. i am now considering veneers. my question is is there anywhere in dublin/ireland does this? and second is it better to go abroad?

    any help would be great.

    thanks tabx

    Why not check out the Dental Hospital. They have a very good reputation by all accounts. Seemingly, they specialise as well. Good luck.

    thats great thanks, i just gave them a call. they said that i need a letter of referal from my own dentist and they would take it from there. i didnt even know that they did this kind of thing. i am with my own dentist next week so i can ask him then.

    I had a crown done on a tooth with a root canal many years ago because it was going dark which worked fine.

    That said, these days, if a dentist said root canal to me - I'd just get it implanted to be honest - no more messing about a few years down the line when the root canal tooth fails as it will eventually.

    Sorry for this wee hijack!!

    I'm really phobic of dentists and went for a check up yesterday for the first time in yrs. Anyhow turns out I've to get 2 crowns on two front teeth that I got root canal on yrs ago. I'm getting IV Sedation for it but whats worrying me is if they will stand out from my other teeth,will they look fake?:confused:

    cheers for any info
