I’ve Broken A Crown. Should I Get A New Or Should I Consider Another Type Of Treatment?
I would like some advice regarding my front tooth.
I have a front tooth porcelain crown which has fractured at the back & a piece has broken off. I have had this crown for 15 years.
Do you think I would benefit from having composite bonding & a veneer rather than a new porcelain crown?
Which is best to match my other teeth? My crown has discoloured slightly around the gum-line.
I welcome your advice & I would like to know costs please. Many thanks.
If it has been crowned already then another crown is usually required – it’s too late for a veneer and bonding. The crack could possibly be repaired at least for a while with bonding?
Costs are determined by a number of things:
How complex your case is to fix, and the quality of the treatment you wish to have, the experience, skill and qualifications of the cosmetic dentist you choose. The quality of the laboratory technician used to make the crown. The type of material used for the crown and in the city or country you choose to have treatment in, amongst some other variables.
Average costs for very high quality crowns are between £1000 and £2000. If you expect lower standard results this may reduce – if things are more complex the costs may rise?
I would seek advice now from a very good cosmetic dentist in your area and maybe ask for a couple of opinions before you decide what’s best for you. Regards, Mark
