I recently had one of my silver fillings repaced with a porclein onlay

Q.
I recently had one of my silver fillings repaced with a porclein onlay which took 2 weeks to complete and once it was completed i had pain in that tooth and could not bite down however 2 days after i had the onlay fitted i had an appointment at another dentist which carries out cerec fillings which are conpleted in one day. however when the new dentist looked at the onlay he could see straight away that there was a gap and he couldnt beleive that my original dentist did not notice this. I now need to get this onlay redone so i have contacted my original dentist and have an appointment next week but i am nervous about receiving treatment from him and was wondering if i am etitled to a refund since i am not confident that he can carry out the treatment correctly and i dont want to have to wait another 2 weeks since i go back to university net week! thank you

i have had many fillings on my tooth would an implant be better

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Q.
Hi doctor, I have had a five year ongoing saga with one tooth (lower jaw third from back). I had a gold filing for over ten years untill it needed replacing. It was replaced with a white filing which sensitized the tooth. A root filing was done but some of the root was left in which resulted in numerous visits to dentist and dental hospital till discovered and removed. A white inlay was applied which was too high, when removed the tooth had fractured. All that is now left is the front wall of the tooth. A new white inlay was fitted , which has come out twice this year. I feel unable to eat normally on this side. I finally came to terms with having the tooth out but when I discussed this with my dentist he suggests just filing it! This has been a lenthly and expensive time. I am now considering my options and wondered about an implant as my other teeth are in good condition. I would very much appreciate an experts opinion.

My teeth have greyed after trauma and root canal

Friday, July 4th, 2008
Q.
I recently had trauma to 2 of my front teeth (front left and next left), and had root canals. The teeth have greyed and im having internal bleaching on the teeth. I have been advised that I could avoid crowning for a number of years and have spoken to people whose front tooth has lasted 15 years, the NHS dentist said I should not rush it anyway as i need to see how the root canals progress and whether they are successful. Im very depressed at the moment as the trauma was caused when I was assaulted. I have had a great life to date and only recently married. This has left a huge dark cloud over our lives and time in our new house. I have no other problems with my teeth and only ever had one filing. Now I cant bite down on food and my tooth colour has not returned to a satisfactory colour. Im scard of crowns and implants and with a high flying job cannot be out of work for long- is the cerec crown the way to go? We dont have much money at the moment with moving and the wedding so need the best solution for reasonable cost- please advise
