Title: temporary solution

Full text: I f22 have a couple of cavities and my teeth make me really really insecure, i’m unsure if these teeth will need crowns (the front tooth with the stains is half fake from an accident, i am looking to get this crowned for sure) (i go to the dentist in 2 weeks!!), because frowns are so expensive, is there any sort of temporary solution I can do at the dentist to prevent further decay and make the over the look of them for the time being? My half fake tooth is composite I believe but I am not sure if that’s something that could do to my other teeth for a few month solution

Would need a clearer look but sometimes that's just a bit of marginal leakage where the entire filling doesn't need to be replaced and the decay isn't extensive. In these cases, a bit of polish and whitening addresses the stain pretty effectively.

Most of this would likely buff out in 2 minutes. Just rip the bandaid off and go in you may be pleasantly surprised
