How good is the quality of CEREC crowns?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there dr Patel, I recently had my front top right crown replaced because it was a metal – ceramic and a shadow was visible at the top.However I am not happy with the new crown which is all ceramic but the colour is not quite right.
Do you only do CEREC crowns or do you use ceramic/porcelain also . I am very keen to have a good match and my current normal teeth have been whitened and are fairly translucent. Are CEREC teeth as good looking as a good porcelain tooth. I am really upset with the work that has recently been done and I want to have the best possible work done. Thank you for your time.

My front teeth have started to move, should I have orthodontic treatment or replace my veneers?

Friday, June 8th, 2012
Q.

I currently have two veneers on my front tooth and the tooth next but one, these were put on approx 13 yrs ago. They have lasted really well and I initially had them put on as after brace treatment these two teeth started to move. I am 43 yrs old. For the past 2 yrs, these two teeth have started to move again and are now pushing behind my other main front tooth, they look very wonky and uncomfortable. What would be the best treatment for me? An invisible brace or to have these two veneers removed and replaced and hope that stops the teeth moving. The current veneers did previously stop my teeth moving until approx 2 yrs ago.

Many thanks,

Is it the usual practise to leave teeth without veneers after caps have been removed?

Monday, May 28th, 2012
Q.

Hi

I am interested in getting porcelain veneers fitted, but am hesitant as I have been told I have to get my plastic caps drilled off first and wait two weeks to have my veneers fitted. My teeth underneath had worn away due to acidity and so do not have much enamel left after drilling and being capped.

My caps are on my four front top teeth so do not want to be without front teeth for this long.

I would like to know if it is possible to take off my plastic caps and have veneers fitted in one session. And also the price per tooth and location.

I look forward to hearing from you.

If I only need some mild orthodontic work can I expect cheaper prices?

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
Q.

I have a small gap between my two front teeth.
I have no other problems, my issue is merely cosmetic.
As the problem is only slight; would this decrease the price of the brace? I have no knowledge of the dentistry profession, thought I imagine smaller imperfections would be quicker to fix.
Is it worth looking abroad for cheaper dentistry? It’s something I would like to get done, but due to the nature of the imperfection, it doesn’t warrant spending a great deal.
Any information insofar as figures are concerned would be fantastic.
N.B: I only want to correct my teeth alignment, I have no desire for anything which is invasive to the tooth itself.

Should I replace my missing front teeth with a fixed bridge or dental implants?

Monday, March 5th, 2012
Q.

I had a car wreck & had the front top 2 teeth knocked out. I have a Maryland bridge. It lasted about 10 years -the first time it came out. Then it lasted about 3 yaers. Then 1 year. Now I’m lucky if it will stay in for 3 MONTHS. I checked into tooth implants. However, I will need a bone graft. I really don’t want to go that direction. I’ve been thinking about a reg. bridge. But I have a problem with filing down my good teeth on both sides to place the capsa over to hold the missing teeth in place. By filing my good teeth will I have problems with nerves later on? Because there won’t be as much protection; if about 1/2 of my tooth is filed off for the cap to go over. What do you think? Any suggestions?

My front teeth hurt after having porcelain veneers fitted, what should I do?

Monday, January 30th, 2012
Q.

I had veneers fitted on my 8 front teeth -upper & lower – about 18 months ago and was in severe pain for about 4 months following the procedure. Since then i’ve been ok but for the past 3 days the pain in my front tooth is causing me the same distress, constant throbbing in my teeth, sore tongue & gums, sleepless nights and back on the pain-killers! How long should I put up with this pain before i seek medical assistance from my dentist? Will the pain subside like it did after 4 months after the initial treatment? Is it possible to have root canal treatment without removing the veneer & will this get rid of the pain I am in???
