What are “Turkey teeth” and should I be worried?
The phrase describes cases where healthy teeth are filed down to pegs and covered with crowns to deliver a fast, very white smile. The risk is nerve damage, sensitivity and root canals years later. A conservative plan uses minimal-prep veneers, bonding or orthodontics where they will work, and reserves crowns for teeth that are already heavily restored, and we will tell you when a case does not need full crowns.
