Depending on where you are located, that may be slightly high, a bit low, of
just about average for 16 veneers. There is often more than one way to
address these issues. If you have questions, best to get a 2nd opinion.

After moving to Canada, I have great difficulties convincing the
Canadian dentists of my problem. Maybe I need an appropriate medical
term. Can somebody help?

I have 2 molars and 2 pre-molars that are genetically abnormal. The
centre of the tooth is protruding, like a tube/cap growing out of the
top surface. A dentist told me that the "cap" would continue to grow
upwards if left alone. What is the medical term for this type of teeth?

My childhood dentist removed the "cap" on the 2 molars and filled the
top. Later, the "cap" on one of the premolars chipped off, and I got a
root-canal treatment for this premolar.

Then I moved to Alberta, Canada. The "cap" on the other premolar came
off also. So all 4 abnormal teeth no longer had the "cap", and the
abnormality is no longer visible on the outside. (Surprisingly, the
x-rays in canada cannot reveal the problem either, and the dentists
keep telling me that my teeth have no genetical problem.) I got serious
nerve inflamation and fainted in front of the dentist, before he
finally drilled deeper into the premolar, and gave me a  root-canal
treatment.

Now I am living in Ontario, Canada. The fillings on my molars are
coming off. My guess is I need them re-filled, so I went to a dentist
today. Once again, the dentist said my molars have no problem, no
genetical problem at all. I told him my "story", and he gave me that
same expression of ridicule. (Please, not again!)

What do I have to do to convince him? Perhaps an appropriate medical
term for my abnormal teeth will help? Can somebody shed some light
please?

Is that per tooth?
