Its only been a few hours but it feels slightly raised and i don't have the same complete 'biting' feel any more.

I told my dentist this and he said this is normal and to give it time to bear down and settle.

It feels a bit strange which i suppose is part of me getting used to it, but i am a little concerned it might be a bit too raised. Is my dentist right to say wait a day or two for it to settle? I really hope it does, or that i get used to the sensation of eating with it, it's almost like there's a millimetre gap between my top and bottom teeth now the crown is there.


What do you think would be the best thing to do?:confused:

Big thanks for any advice.

I was wondering if you could give me any opinions on mercury poisoning and amalgam fillings? I am a 30 year old female who up until recently have had no health problems. In Nov 08 I had 3 amalgam fillings on the same day as a fear of dentists had made me avoid them for 10 years prior! In Jan 08 I began experience chest and other muscle pain. I have had all the hospital tests to rule out heart and lung problems and have been told to go away and deal with this. My symptoms since the fillings have been as such:

Chest pain (different area's of my chest each time, short and sharp)
RInging in my ears
Extreme dizzyness
Night Sweats
Loss of Memory
Tingling (especially in hands and feet)
Numbness of parts of my legs
'Brain Fog'

Is it a coincidence that the symptoms started just after the fillings or could there be more to it?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

My concern is this- the gumline on my right front tooth is much higher than the left. Can this be corrected? The crowns were fitted when I was 16, I'm now 27.

I just want new crowns fitted and any required veneers so that I can have the confidence to smile again.

Also, would my teeth benefit from whitening?

Please could anybody let me know whether the tooth will be very much more prone to breaking beneath the gum line, after having this treatment .

I want to change dentists, after having a temporary crown affixed to my front tooth, and the one beside it. The dentist did several x-rays, filed both teeth down, casted a mold, and affixed a temporary to both teeth.

Assuming the permanent set of teeth has NOT been ordered, and will NOT be by this dentist, 1) what is the general cost for this TEMPORARY crown placed over BOTH teeth [the temporary crown is in one (1) unit, but placed over both, filed teeth]? Please do not include the costs involved with the permanent two (2) crowns, and the final fitting of those two (2), regular plastic-type crowns.

However, I do want the mold already casted. 2) Can you also tell me if it is possible to take this mold with me to the new dentist? If not, 3) why and, 4) how much does the mold itself cost? [That’s a total of three (3), possibly four (4) questions – hope that’s ok. I have numbered each question, for ease of reading.]

Thank you!

After losing 2 of these crowns and the peg on one of them breaking I was initially advised to have the four teeth re-crowned (I understand that root canal treatment will need to be done on the tooth that has the broken peg). It has now been suggested that extracting these 4teeth and having a bridge may be a better option.
Due to the fact that I have recently come through treatment for osteoradionecrosis (following head and neck radiotherapy) I am very concerned about going down this route and feel that the crowns would be a better option.
Any thoughts would be very welcome. ]]> Dental Crowns forum stulew http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/forum/dental-crowns-forum/968-crowns-bridge.html http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/forum/dental-crowns-forum/953-crown-advice.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:36:37 GMT I was told by my Dentist that i needed a crown fitted on one of back teeth,i had the crown fitted today but when i got home i noticed that it was not...

Is this normal?, as i am not very happy as i presumed a crown covered the whole tooth and i would have rather have had this as i feel it would have been stronger. Is there any point in complaining or is this normal pratice to do this type of crown?(NHS by the way). ]]> Dental Crowns forum spizz http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/forum/dental-crowns-forum/953-crown-advice.html
