Q.

I need 5 upper molars replacing (one has been missing for 5 years, the others require extraction). I am told that i’d need 5 crowns on 4 implants. Also that a probable graft is needed for the area of missing tooth. My quotes so far range from £5000-£6000. Does this seem right? I appreciate quality of system used (i.e. Zimmer / Legacy etc) has a major affect on price, but i want UK based treatment at a reasonable price WITH a 10 year + guarantee

Q.

Hello Mark, I am due to have my Caps re newed as they were fitted over 25 years ago. The top is black & my dentist has suggested having the porcelain caps (all white) and not with the black bit going through the tooth. With the black it would be £280 & without would be £380 each & i need 4. Please could you give me your opinion as to which one to get this time & how long would they last. Thank you very much for your help, kind Regards.

Q.

Hello Dr. Verma, I live in the U.S. California. I am impressed with your smile makeover gallery. I am getting implants in # 29 and 30, and 19, 20. I will also be getting crowns on 7 – 10, which will hopefully match the existing crowns on either side. Do you know of a cosmetic dentist in the Napa or Solano Counties of California? What is the advantage to a cosmetic dentist vs. a general dentist who may be talented in the area of crowns? Thank you for your time.
