Q. Hello there, i have just come back from a visit to the dentist i have not gone for a number of years due to being so scared of what they would say and do!! I have come back with an apptionment in December for 2 fillings and to have a chipped toothe capped, he has put a temp cap on it, my main question is that i have slilt Gingivtis, thius has scares the living days out of me as i am only in my 20’s, he tld me to change my mouth wash, and get a soft Toothe Brush and it should get better, what toothe Paste would be the best for this??? And how long should this temp cap last for??? Many thanks
A. The temp cap should last till your next visit but be careful with it. If you have bleeding gums you could try corsodyl mouthwash for a week or so but it can stain the teeth. Ask the dentist if you can see his Hygieinist to give them a good scale before your next visit.

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 had a crown fitted a couple of years ago on a bottom molar. I suffered a lot of pain shortly after it was fitted and at an emergency appointment with a dentist it was necesary for a hole to be put in crown to relieve pressure caused by bleeding.The hole was of course filled afterwards. The crown is still sensitive from time to time – I get pain or aching or strange sensations which lasts for a few days and then it settles. Is this normal and if not what is the likely cause?
A. Maybe your bite need to be adjusted or maybe there is another underlying problem.
I recommend you book an appointment with your dentist for a bite adjustment and to have an x-ray taken.
Kind regards

Q. hi i would really value your thoughts. day 1 i had a root canal day 2 and 3 no pain, fine. day 4 pain begins. day 7 i ring my dentist and i get an emergency appointment as tooth hurting. i get prescribed amoxcillin as i have a mild infection. my dentist sill want me to come back for my perm crown the next day. day 8 crown fitted. its now day 12 i am still on anti biotics and ibuprofen. my tooth has settled but if i acidentally over bite it hurts and eating on it is a def no no. MY QUESTION TO YOU SIR IS HOW LONG SHOULD I GIVE IT TO SETTLE BEFORE I SHOULD BE WORRIED? many thanks this is a great service kind regd
A. the truth of the matter is you cannot be sure it will settle as not all root canal treatments are a success. i can only guess that it was a difficult procedure as it took so many appointments to do it.
root canals can give symptoms for a yr post treatment and it is their severity that determines whether you give it time or take further action

Q. Hiya, i had an operation on my gum a few years back which left me with a gap at the front of my mouth, this happened due to a mistake made during the operation? since this happened i have been very subconscious about my teeth as they are in quite a bad state. Who should i contact about this? im looking for a solution, possibly veneers. Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon.
A. Gaps around the gum level can be disguised using crowns or veneers. Obviously the underlying health of your gums is important to be correct prior to providing these types of restorations. At Aviva Cosmetic Dentistry we have a wealth of experience in dealing with smile porblems such as these. Please contact my practice for a free cosmetic consultation.

Q. Dear Dr Caplan i have been suffering from Bulimia for over 15 years and hence my teeth will need to be crowned (upper row). the bulimia is inactive but occasionally i regress to the same crutch, ie purging. my teeth are so sensitive that i have no choice but to crown them, do you think its advisable or are there any other options? thank you so much for your input.
A. Usually my treatment for such a situation is to crown the damaged teeth due to the backs of the teeth being severely damaged by acid and the fronts of teeth looking short due to acid damage to their tips. Sometimes composite filing material can restore the damaged surfaces followed by veneers to improve the look of the smile. Pleae contact my surgery if you wish for a free cosmetic consultation where I can discuss your options in more detail.

Q. Hi I have a composite crown bonded to a metal post that was fitted 20 years ago when I broke my upper front incisor that I would like to replace for cosmetic reasons. Due to my gums receeding a few mm you can now see a line of grey natural tooth around the gum line. I have asked my dentist about the most natural looking replacement and she is very keen to fit another metal/porceline composite crown. I have never been happy with the one I have, it has always been a different size, shape and colour to my other main incisor so I asked about an all porceline crown and she said that her practice fits procera crowns but that because I have a metal post and not a ground down tooth to use as an anchor that an all porceline crown would be too thick and would break. I made it clear that cost was not a consideration but she insisted that a composite crown was my best bet. Apart from the crown my teeth are completely average, they are average size, shape, colour etc. Your opinion would be valued. Thanks
A. There are number of different options for porcelain crowns that can be used for different situations to produce a great result. Composite crown sould not appear to be the obvious solution unless the prognosis for the tooth was poor – to keep costs down. They are sometimes used to reduce the bite forces on implants. For a dark post a procera or zirconium or a well made porcelian bonded to metal crown would be my choices.

Q. I got procelin crowns and I notice by my Gumline the Skin still didn’t mold into Place which is causing a slight space, the skin is still in the Back. Is there anything I can do to get the Skin in place? thanks
A. No, the gum line will settle into the position it needs to be in. You could consider corrective gum surgery if it wories you.

Q. I need a crown for one of my upper central front teeth, my dentist has suggested that I have the crown which is totally made of porcelain – it is the most expensive option but my main concern is will it be as strong as the porcelain crown with the metal interior?
A.
There are different types of all porcelain crowns with flexural strengths ranging from 56MPa to 900Mpa. If your teeth are not especially worn all porcelian crowns do very well – even in bruxers the zirconium crowns900
pa seem to be doing well if properly made. Porcelain bonded to metal substructure can also fail as the prcelain can chip if the bite gets in the way

Q. I am in a dilemma as to whether or not I should go for a bonded gold or precious metal crown or zirconia crown for my LL6. What are the advantages of the more expensive zirconia crown? Many thanks for your time and expert advice.
A.
The zirconium crown is metal free and may look more lifelike ( depending on who makes it). Both crowns should fit very accurately and protect the underlying tooth

Q. I have 4 crowns in the front (top) I just noticed as I was flossing today the area I thought had food seems to be more like a wearing of the side of the crowns (2). Does this happen and what do you do about it besides new crowns. I know–go to the dentist. I have had them approximately 17-20 years. Thank you
A. crowns do not wear on their side- you probably have decay and need new crowns

Q. I had my root canal retreated. I have a gold crown and the retreatment was drilled thru the top of the gold crown, can the crown be filled with a gold filling?
A. Yes it can but the cost benefit is less than replacing the crown. A simple amalgam can be used as a short term repair as an alternative.

Q. I just came back from a check-up at my dentist and I have been told that I have periodontal disease. I wanted to know from you what is about the range in price that it would cost for treament? I do have insurance, but I am trying to figure out if this office is overcharging for the treatment. I will have the treatment done but it might not be by that office. Second question I had is that my dentist wants to put 4 crowns across my front teeth and I wanted to know which kind of crowns is good not the ones that are most expensive on me? For example they gave me a price of $4,480.00 for all four crowns and I would like to know if this is a crazy price or a normal one?
A. periodontal treatment is difficult to cost but starting with the basics, ask how much time is being allocated and with who. For example 4x 30 mins with a hygeinist will have a different fee to 2 1 hour treatments with a periodontist specialist dentist. #est crowns can depend on the functional needs of the case but all ceramic crowns with a Zirconia core are good in most situations, try to shop around locally for hourly rates and zirconia crowns to compare prices.

Q. Hi Please can you help? I had a root filling done on one of my front teeth 5 years ago….the same tooth has been going black ever since. I have recently changed dentists and have discovered that when the original root filling was done a piece of cotton wool was left inside, so no matter how much i brushed my teeth it wasn’t making a difference to this tooth. This tooth is now causing the tooth next to it to discolour. My dentist has told me that because i get nhs help (full exemption) then there is nothing they can do for me? I think i need a cap or crown on it (don’t know which). The tooth is causing me real self confidence problems and i dont know what else to do. I hope you can help. Many Thanks.
A. A root treated tooth will turn dark over time, (it has nothing to do with the cotton wool) and it sounds like the adjacent tooth might be dyingas well. I would go back to your dentist and find out if its possible to have a crown on the NHS as it sounds like you are registered with this dentist and should be able to have some treatment done.

Q. Hi. Thank you for offering your advice here. I’ve had a porcelain and metal bonded crown on my main front left tooth for the last 6 years. It is fitted on my actual tooth which has been filed down to a small stub. Recently my porcelain crown broke in the middle of the night. It just fell apart at 5am. I didn’t bang it and dont hink i have ever banged it as im very carefull with it. Only the porcelain broke off. The black metal is still on my tooth with the permenant dentist glue. I have a HC2 certificate. What is the difference between an NHS crown and a private crown? Shouldn’t the quality of a NHS crown be the same as a private crown? Am I entitled to request, under my entitlement to rights from NHS dental treatment received, that i would like the NHS crown to be the same quality as a private crown? Am I entitled to an all ceramic crown under my NHS HC2 certificate rather than a porcelain/metal bonded crown? It is for my main front left tooth. Looking forward to your advice. Many many thanks.
A. Unfortunatley I am a private practitioner, therefore I am unsure about the particular forms however I think that NHS dentists are restricted to certain laboratories therefore they are unable to choose their own technician maybe thats why the quality differs.

Q. 1 tooth upper right 4 .. cost of dental implant +abutment+crown. 2 there are many types of implent systems .ie straumann, biohorizon,etc and many types of crown eg fused to metal ,fused to gold, etc. which are best implants and crowns
A.
Personally I mainly use Astra Implants which I find predictable and long lasting. I like a titanium surface which is roughened by subtraction and surface active. The Roughness should be full hieght and and micro thread at the top end to evenly load bone and maintain long term bone (and Gum ) hieght around the fixture. The internal should always be a cone fit to reduce abutment scres stress.
The best abutment and crown depends on balancing aesthetics and the loading in the UR4 region this is variable as it depends on your actual bite and the width of your smile.
For a free initial assesment call Amy 0121 643 0610 and I should be able to give a more specific response in your case.

Q. I am considering getting my four front teeth either crowned or have veneer on them. I would like to know the benefits and/or problems with both of these. I have had crowns before and never had a problem, but I understand that veneers are a bit more pricey and painful. Are they both comparable when it comes to wear, etc?
A. If the teeth are already crowned then it isn’t possible to have veneers on them. Veneers involve less tooth preparation than crowns but generally are not quite as strong.

Q. hi DR moore I have a crown on the upper right jaw that has become sensitive to hot food etc The pain is only mild, and seems to radiate to other teeth on that top side. There is no pain when i bite on the tooth,also there is no swelling around the tooth. what could be the problem. thanks for your time.
A. There is a chance the tooth could be dying. It would be worth getting it checked over as pain with hot is a symptom of a dead or infected tooth.
