What sort of dental crown should I get for £1500 ?

Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Q.
My dentist recommends a titanium implant at £1634 for a missing incisor. He says this will also require an anterior crown at £1500. This seems expensive for a crown. What sort of quality ought I expect for this sort of money?

My crowns fell off I wear dentures and have gum shrinkage

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am a 52 yr old woman and my life is being ruined by the state of my mouth. I have always had problems with my teeth,and over the years have had Crowns and a Bridge fitted.. The Crowns repeatedly fell off likewise The Bridge was always coming loose. Finally I gave up returning every few weeks to the dentist. Consequently my mouth is now in a disgusting state. I wear an upper denture which has 2 front teeth on it(This was originally made as a temporary measure whilst waiting for Crowns ) and i have one remaining crown on a back tooth. In my lower mouth i have 6 remaining teeth,they are all extremly badly decayed and need removing. My lower gum is very flat due to years of shrinkage i suppose. I am not sure what can be done in the way of Dentures . I realise this is my own fault and would give anything to have my teeth back. I just want to smile once more with an open mouth . Many Thanks for reading this and i feel better for just sending it.I’m finally addressing this terrible problem C

Can lumineers be fitted over crowns by a London dentist

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Q.
According to the lumineers page on your website it states that lumineers can be fitted over crowned teeth – however one of your panel had told someone that this could not be done and they would have to have new crowns. I am interested in lumineers since they would solve my problem of stained slightly crooked teeth all in one. I only have two crowns and not that much money. Previously I had thought about getting clear braces and then spending out on whitening treatments etc – but this system seems so much better espeically since the dark part of the crown seems to be showing through. Would you still recommend lumineers in my case? And if so would I be better seeing an experienced London dentist rather than going to my local dentist (who is on your list but did not mention this nor even clear braces until I specifically made the point – I don’t think they are very “into” this type of thing. I would welcome your response. Thanks.

Can a crown be used to fix a chipped tooth that sticks out ?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
I am considering having a crown procedure performed but my problem is a little complicated; I chipped the outer side of the my left front tooth when I was 10 years old and the dentist just did a crap job in repairing it. I\’m 29 now, hate my smile because my tooth is still chipped slightly and it shows but the problem is that it sticks outwards at a slight angle so a crown would not appear to fix the problem. Can you advise? N
