There is small gap between my lava crown and the gum what can be done to fix it?

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Safeer, i have recently had 4 lava crowns fitted to my front teeth . The 2 on my left side look wonderful ! the problem is the other two are not as good, on one the margin is visable (only a very small amount 1 mm ) and i am worried that the exposed original tooth is going to decay more quickly, and my other concern is my gum hasn’t filled the gap between the crowns leaving a deep recess and not only is it not athestetic it also gets food stuck in this gap ! do you think im within my rights to have the dentist rectify the work free of charge ? what can be done about the gum?? i am so worried! I had to work so hard to pay for the crowns. should i ask for a refund ? the dentist was a general dentist in haywards heath. thank you so much for helping me i am so pleased people like u help people like me god bless you

Friday, May 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hi i have 8 crowns which need replacing also a bridge.i have visited a private dentist and seen my nhs dentist .i have been given different opinions ,after having xrays 2 dark shadows show there are pockets of infection due to unsuccessful root treatment 18 yrs ago.this has never given me a problem and i was not aware of it.one dentist says i should re do the root treatment before replacing the crowns the other says not to touch it as its never bothered me in all these years.what is your opinion on this.also one priced for lava crowns and the other would be nhs,do you think there would be any noticeable difference in them.i really cat decide if its best to go with the private one or stick with the nhs.is it the case that a nice swanky practise with more up to date facilities can give a better result.please help im very confused, thanks

i have overlapping front teeth my question is whether veneers or crowns is the best option

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, Im hoping you can help one very confused person! I have 2 overlapping front teeth. Apart from that my teeth are fine.I am considering having veneers/crowns fitted to improve my smile. I would get braces, but am inhibited by the the time that would take and the cost (I dont want the ones that can be seen -I would if I thought it affordable or possible, get ivisalign or the ones set behind the teeth). So my question is I suppose, veneers or crowns? I have an appointment with a dentist in the next couple of weeks and and am not sure which is the better option, in terms of causing minimal damage to my teeth in the long run? Any advice would be much appreciated!!!! Thanks
