Can I have my crowns replaced in nhs?
Q. Hi, i have really bad teeth and have a plate with 2 teeth on at the front as i lost a crown with 2 teeth on. i am now excempt from paying so would it be possible to have the crowns replaced on the nhs?
A. Hi, thanks for your question, it would only be possible to consider replacing the crowns if you still have the root. Your denture may have been placed over the root, but the root may have been removed. Without this information, it would be difficult to say. If the root remains, it may be possible to have a post crown, however if you no longer have the root, the options to replace would be either a bridge (which would be attached to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap) or an implant (which could support a new crown). I hope that this information will be of assistance to you, but should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

I have a crown on one of my molars for several years and would love to have it replaced. The porcelain exterior near the gum line has begun to expose the metal root, which is a major cosmetic disaster for me. What are my options to correct this bad situation?
