I had Root canal and need a crown how long will a crown last

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I had root canal treatment on one of my teeth over a year ago, the tooth has now broken. I have been informed by my dentist that I now need a crown as soon as possible. Could you please advise me what crown I should go for and how long one would last. Also, please could you tell me how much I should expect to pay for a crown as i’m looking to change dentists, and want to make sure that I choose the best one. One more thing, what are the chances of a crown falling off? because the last thing I want to do is pay for the treatment and within a month it falls off. Many thanks in advance.

I have mild over crowding and want to straighten one tooth

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have mildly overcrowded teeth on my upper and lower jaw. One of my lateral incisors (the tooth next my right front tooth) has become crooked and partly pushed behind my right central incisor (front tooth). In photos this gives the appearance that I have a gap in my teeth and is making me feel self conscious about my smile. I don’t want braces and just want to straighten this one tooth out – or improve it’s appearance in some way. I’m totally happy with the rest of my teeth. Could veneers help me or is the only way to go braces? Do you have any idea how much treating this one tooth might cost? Thanks for your time!

can you bleach a dead discoloured single tooth?

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel Two years ago on holiday i cracked my canine tooth on popcorn and unfortunately the nerve died. On return from my holiday the tooth was assessed and root canal treatment was performed. My dentist felt that the crack wasn’t bad enough for the tooth to be crowned and commented that the canine tooth was a strong tooth so it should be fine. As the tooth has died it is a couple of shades darker than the rest of my teeth and i would like to ask your advice if a single dead tooth could be bleached. What would my options involve. Thank you for your time in advance.

composite veneers or porcleain veneers on bottom teeth?

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Q.
I had some porcelain veneers done 4yrs ago on my top front teeth, which still look like new now. I went to see my new dentist at same practice to enquire about porcelain veneers for bottom teeth, but was informed that I wouldn’t be able to have them so was told I would have to have composite veneers. I had them done just prior to xmas 2007 and already the composite on 2 are badly worn. I was informed procedure would take approx 30mins per tooth, yet I had 6 done in 90mins! I would appreciate your views and advice on this matter. Have I been misinformed? If so, is there anything I can do about it?

cost of my dental treatment £900 per tooth

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister,

Much appreciation and thanks for getting back.

I have had some treatment in that the UL1 has been prepped with a temporary veneer and UR an UL 3 have both been cosmetically bonded (contoured). People have noticed a big difference already. The only thing that scares me is this dentist filed my UL1 down to a pin for preparaion without explaining everything. I have a review this week before commencing any more treatment but I was shocked at how much tooth was removed and I was shaking at the end of this session.

He advised he could not give me a treatment plan or full costings although I am being given prices for each stage.Their website quotes £395, the receptionist told me £600,the dentist said £800 and now the practice manager tells me £900 per tooth.

I notice that this dentist does appear it the top ten UK cosmetic dentists lists and I have seen examples of his work on another dentist and the results do look great. It’s just that I don’t fancy having all my teeth filed down to pins as the majority of them are healthy.

Thanks again for your time – it really is appreciated.
