What Price Range Am I Looking At For A Unit 3 Bridge And A Crown Support?

Tuesday, January 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. It seems I need a 3 unit bridge but one of the teeth must have a crown to support the bridge as it is in danger of cracking or splitting.
The area is in the top left hand side. This specifically refers to the last three teeth in the set. The far left one is gold crowned and on the right hand side the tooth is in poor condition.
What is the price range likely to be for the whole course of treatment – including everything including extraction of the middle tooth that cannot be saved. Regards.

How Long Does It Take For The Pain To Subside After Dentures Are Fitted?

Thursday, January 9th, 2014
Q.

I already have full dentures and I would like to know if I should go to the dentist and get them gold plated? How much would it cost to plate all teeth in the denture on both top and bottom with gold?

Other than that cosmetic question I was wondering how long should I be in pain after my teeth have been removed and the dentures placed in my mouth? It has been 3 weeks and the holes where my teeth came out of are still bothering me. The pain I would say is mild but when I try to eat even ice cream I am using my tongue to eat it and when I press against my top denture it is still quite painful. They fit just fine and are staying on very well and I feel the pain where the tooth used to be so I am figuring it is not a fitting issue.

I find it impossible to wear my dentures

Friday, April 19th, 2013
Q.

I eventually gave in and let my dentist cut back my 2 front teeth and have dentures. I can’t wear them. They feel too thick and make me choke. The teeth on dentures are very small, the size my original teeth have become due to wear. I cannot smile and show teeth when they are in as they are too short. and not a very nice colour. I kept putting off having dentures as I was worried about having them. They are only the top set. After trying with dentures, I ended up getting an abscess on my bottom wisdom tooth that had a GOLD crown (which I have since found out isn’t really gold)and had to have it taken out at the hospital I no longer have any confidence i n him after my last visit last year despite being with him over 30 years. I was an NHS patient but will soon have a small windfall to enable me to go private.

Will my gold crown affect my chance of achieving a ‘Hollywood Smile?’

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi Mark

If i am honest I dont actually NEED veneers, my teeth are very healthy and of a good standard, However I am in the performance industry and there is always room for perfection.
However, I do have a solid white gold cap on my left canine which I wish to have replaced to… At the time i was told that this had been cemented on and will be permanent as my tooth had been filed down in order to complete this.
Tell me, will this effect me from getting the hollywood smile I am looking for and if not, what processes do I need to go through to obtain the perfect look?

My dentis gave me a gold crown instead of a porcelain one, what can I do?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

I had a crown fitted recently and it was not what I have expected. Before the procedure I had two dental appointments during which I have discussed with my dentist about the type and colour of the crown. I clearly asked for a porcelain crown and picked out a shade from the catalogue. After a crown has been fitted I saw that a gold crown was in place, not the porcelain I had picked out. The dentist does not take any responsibility for the mistake and just said that nothing can be done now.
Is there anything that could be done to correct the problem as I’m not happy with the way the gold crown shows when I smile?

I was very ill after a tooth cracked and gold crown came out, why was this?

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
Q.

A year following crowning of a molar with a gold crown my tooth cracked down to the root causing the crown to dislodge and leading to a very bad abscess which had to be drained and the tooth subsequently removed . I was really quite ill over this time. Today I took the offending crown to a place that purchases gold and on thorough testing they found no gold but only base metal. This was a crown from an N.H.S dentist and sold to me as gold. Would it be a reason why I became so unwell and is this common practice to describe a gold crown as such when it is not? I have since had another crown ( porcelain) which has a black mark centraly is this something I should have cause to complain about? Thank yo in advance for your answer

How much does a dental crown cost?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Q.

My new dentist has advised me to have root canal treatment on a pre-molar tooth followed by a crown in a few months. He said that the crown would be either silver or gold which I am not happy about as I feel cosmetically it will be quite ugly (I already have a gold crown which I’m very unhappy about). Can I get a white crown on the NHS under Band 3, or can you give me an idea what it will cost privately?
