Can gold crown be removed?

Q. hi there…i’ve had a gold crown fitted on my tooth since july but i now want it off…is that possible and what are the procedures and costs…the thing is when i went to the dentist i only wanted a little gap closed but the dentist suggested the crown…i’ve tried to get used to it but i can’t,
A. You could only have the corwn replaced with another crown, the tooth has been prepared underneath so cannot be left without a crown. Book in with your dentist and ask him the options available for pehaps changing the material the corwn is made of.Kind regardsDr Justi Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

Normally this is done with local anaesthetic, a groove is cut in the crown and it is carefully prised off
