Is me dentist qualifies to fit lava crowns

Q. I have eight porcelaine crowns that badly need to be replaced. My dentist recommended lava crowns at a cost of 3,000 I am just unsure if he is qualified to perform this treatment. Or am i taking an expensive risk?

 

A. It is not possible or ethical for me to comment on the abilities of other dentists to carry out particular treatments. My best advice is to ask to look at pictures of cases that they have treated before. This would give you a good idea as to whether your dentist will achieve your expectations.

I will say that 8 lava crowns for £3000 is extremely reasonable!
