Q. I’m 17 and still in college, I’ve got 2 chipped front teeth due to rough play as a child, also some of my adult teeth are missing according to an x ray they aren’t there so I’m stuck with rather worn down baby teeth. I never smile in photos and my teeth severly effect my confidence. Can I get crowns/vineers on the NHS?
A. You might qualify for NHS treatment but it is cosmetic treatment so I can really say for sure whether you will get your teeth sorted out on the NHS. Go to your NHS dentist and see what they can do for you.

Q. Upper right incisor. I have a crown on metal post from 30 yrs ago. The crown was replaced 15 yrs ago. My root filling has gone wrong, x ray shows the root filling to have moved. I am recommended to have a apicectomy with an endodontic surgeon. Would it be better to remove this root and have an implant?
A. I personally prefer the predictablility of an implant as apicectomy often destroys the bone and prevents an implant being placed at a later date. If you would like me to take a look please feel free to contact me on implant@advancedentalclini.com

Q. Hi, is there any treatment for crowns ’slipping’ from the gums. This has happened to around 4 of my crowns (they have been there for around 5 years). You can see where they have slipped by the darker colour between the gum and the tooth. My dentist has told me the only solution is to replace them which will cost approx.£1800. is this right??? They are all front teeth (top). Many thanks.
A. hi many thanks for your email, this unfortunately is correct, generally when gum recession happens around crowns the only option is to remove the existing crowns and replace them with new ones. The cost for the crown work does seem reasonable if this is helpful.

Q. I have porelain and metal crowns.I am very unhappy with my smile,so would like cosmetic contouring to shorten and reshape them. Approx how much would this cost?
A. the crowns can only be recontoured to a very minor degree, it will probably be necessary to remake them at a cost starting from £500 per crown.

Q. I have just had my front four crowns replaced with all porcelain crowns as I wanted the most natural looking replacements for my old crowns. My front left tooth was root filled some years back and has become very dark, the problem is that the darkness is now showing through my crown, it looks as though it is a shadow or stain, I opted for the all porcelain in good faith, now I realise that the metal crown covered with porcelain would not have allowed the darkness of the old tooth to show through. This wasn’t mentioned as a possibility when I had my consultation and I am now wondering if there is anything my dentist can do to rectify the problem, I just feel as though I have replaced one worry about the appearance of my teeth with another!! I also feel that if I had known this was going to happen then i would have opted for the porcelain over metal crown. What should I do? the crowns were permanently fitted this morning and the dark shadow is really noticeable!
A. Thanks for your questions, firstly I would suggest that you go back to your dentist to discuss your concerns with them. If, as you say, the dentist did not discuss the possibility of an all porcelain crown not covering the discolouration caused by your root filled tooth, the dentist may be willing to discuss improving the results, may be even replacing the crown to acheive the aesthetically pleasing result you were expecting. I hope this helps, but would encourage you to contact me again shoukd you require any further assistance.
Kind Regards

Q. Hi, I have recently had 4 crowns fitted to my front teeth. They were fixed with temporary cement at first and all of them fell off within a couple of weeks. Since being fitted with permanent cement they have been in place for a couple of months but they feel like they are moving. I have previously had veneers and they sometimes used to give a clicking sensation which i was used to yet with the crowns it is much more often. I am worried that the crowns are not fitted properly (especially as they fell off) and my own tooth may become damaged. My dentist says there is nothing wrong and not to worry. Can you please provide some advice?
A. You need to discuss this with your dentist

Q. Hello im due to have my tooth taken out witch id rather have it capped but how much would it cost to cap a tooth its the front and to the left at the top
A. it depends on what is wrong with the tooth. If it needs root treatment and a post before crowning the cost may double. anything from 350 to 1000. you need to know what the chance of success is if you do the work. Rob

Q. Hi Dr Solanki, I was just in need of some smile advice! I am currently 24 and male and would like the perfect smile like everyone else! I don’t have bad teeth, infact i think they are quite good. However one of my front teeth and the one next to it were broken as a child and they have been built up using white composite and so look discoloured (Dead) they are greyish and it seems to get worse. I would love to have my teeth whitened and something done for these to match what would you suggest? i also would like my back doubles evening out on one side as they uneven my smile? I can sen d you a picture maybe if that helps? Thanks for you time, Much Appreciated
A. hi, the first thing would be to book a consultation so i can assess your teeth. however from the information you have provided, i think the plan of action would be:
1: tooth whitening
2:veneers or crowns(all porcelain) on the two front teeth.
3:assessment of the uneven smile on the back teeth to see how best to correct this.
hope this is helpful. And yes a picture would be helpful.

Q. I was told i needed a crown on one of my back teeth and actually had it fitted today, when i got home and had a closer look i can see that i have not had a full crown as i was expecting but instead i have a patial crown that only covers half of my tooth.I am a little annoyed that this was not made clear me at the start as i would have rather have had a full crown as i feel that it would be much stronger. Is it normal practice to do this sort of crown?
A. These crowns are very effective without the need to dril down as much tooth tissue so see how it goes as it should work well.

Q. Hi, I have just found out that my top right rear molar, is dying as a result of a deep filling, which is now beging to rest on the nerve of the tooth. The dentist has shown me the x-ray and said that as the root is so bent and not easily identifiable, he does not believe a root canal would be sucsessful. I have also had a bad expererience of root canal’s, where within months I had absess, and lost the tooth anyway. My dentist has said that my only option really is therefore too losse the tooth. My concern with this is that due to braces and overcrowding I had already had all my wisdom teeth removed and to loose this back tooth, I run the risk of my jaw bone disolving, there is already evidence of this on the x-ray following the wisdom extraction 3 years ago. I asked if there was any other options and he told me I would need splints and a crown which would cost about £2000. I am only 31 and worry that if I don’t make the right choice now it will be too late, I can’t afford £2000 for a tooth, but as it stands a booked for an extraction the week before xmas??!! Reading some of your other responses to questions indicate the crown can be placed over the tooth, can this not always be done? Any advise would be great. Thanks
A. hi many thanks for your enquiry, my advice would be to ask to be referred to an endodontist for a second opinion. THere are many teeth which general dentists just do not have the skill to treat. however an endodontist is highly experianced at root canal treatment and can give you an idea of whether they feel it can be treated and level of sucess. once the root canal treatment is done it is then best to crown the tooth.
hope this is helpful.

Q. I have two crowns. One, next to the big front tooth was done in March. The nest- the big front tooth was finished in May. I have burning sensation ever since and my mouth on the right side of my face swells, hurts sometimes into my right nostril and my right eye tears, ever since the crown surgery. Dentist says to take advil – 899 milligrams 3 x per day. Now the advil does not take the swelling down and it hurts to talk. I am out of dental insurance for this year and I think the problem is bigger than stress. A referral in the Elkhart, South Bend, Mishawaka, Plymouth, Nappanee area might help?
A. It sounds like a second opinion might be useful, this is a uk based website so we don’t really have much information on the dentist in the US

Q. Hi Dr. Solanki, I’m a bit clueless when it comes to dental treatments to be honest. I had an absolute butcher of a dentist in my teens which resulted in me having to go along to the hospital to fix all of the random holes she’s drilled into my teeth. (Of course they were filled with lovely silver fillings and I now have a hideous metal mouth). She also hit nerves left right and centre so as you can imagine I wasn’t in a hurry to go back. I haven’t seen a dentist for quite a few years now – I was holding out until I’d finished university, at which point I planned to get the whole works privately. However, yesterday evening (ironically, I was chewing a piece of gum to freshen my mouth a bit before I could get home to brush my teeth) quite a substanial piece of tooth broke off. It came from a molar which consists mainly of amalgam filling actually. There is no pain but as the filling is quite exposed and at risk of falling out I realise I need to get it seen to asap. I know it’s difficult for you to say without seeing the tooth but do you think a crown is likely to be the most suitable treatment here? If so, I want to get the best looking and most durable type, which I’m led to believe is a CEREC one, is that correct? I know I will need some other teeth seen to as well, for which I’d like some white fillings. My problem is that this is all a bit costly for someone on a student budget! If I were to register as an NHS patient at a surgery which provided these services would I pay only for the treatments not available on the NHS (ie not have to pay full examination charges etc) or would I have to pay the same as a fully private patient? Sorry this email is so long, but as I said, I really don’t have a clue. Many thanks!
A. hi many thanks for your email, the tooth which has broken sounds as if you may need a crown, a crown is usually advocated if the filling is over half the size of the tooth.
Secondly you can register with an NHS dentist and the options that are not available on the NHS will be available on a private basis but just at a higher cost.
CEREC is an option but if we look at data the best type of crown on a molar is a gold crown followed by a porcelain bonded to metal. If you want an all porcelain crown on a back tooth i would recommend a material called zirconia.

Q. Dear Dr. Solanki, Having always looked after my teeth, I am very dissapointed to see that the enamel is visibly disintergrating on my inscisors. Twenty years ago the same problem occured and I was given crowns on my two front teeth, which I know feel look too large for my mouth. I am unsure what to do. I have a problem visiting the dentist (though I always do),having had a few unhappy experiences. I would be very grateful for your advice
A. Thanks for your questions. If you are considering having crowns fitted on your incisors, I would recommend that you visit your dentist to discuss this with them. I would also recommend that you ask your dentist to have a wax up created by the laboratory that would be making your crowns. This would involve the dentist taking impressions of your teeth as they are, so that the laboratory would be able to create a realistic impression of how they would look with crowns. To create the perfect look, you may also wish to consider having your front crowns replaced at the same time, but I would recommend that you explain to your dentist prior to any work, exactly what you dislike about your existing crowns. You may also wish to consider gaining a second opinion, by visiting a cosmetic dentist and having them create a wax up as well. This should give you a good idea of what it would be possible to acheive. Many cosmetic dental practices will offer a free initial consultation, which would enable you to gain their opinion without financial loss. I hope this information will be useful to you, but urge you to contact me again should you require any further assistance.
Kind regards

Q. I have an overbite (due to sucking my thumb when little) My teeth are slightly discoloured and the front two are slightly too large for my face. I was wondering if crowns could be used to lessen the overbite and shape my teeth, as I don’t think I can go through braces again (I had a very bad experience with block braces to widen my arch…which ended in me not wearing it.) Cost isn’t an issue, but before I go to my dentist I wanted a fist opinion. Many thanks
A. Hello, crowns might help but you cannot reduce the overbite significantly without using a brace.
I would be very happy to take a look for you. Please feel free to contact my clinic on 01245 268 494 to arrange a visit to discuss your options. Regards Andrew
