Is there any difference in quality between the NHS crown and a private crown?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi. Thank you for offering your advice here. I’ve had a porcelain and metal bonded crown on my main front left tooth for the last 6 years. It is fitted on my actual tooth which has been filed down to a small stub. Recently my porcelain crown broke in the middle of the night. It just fell apart at 5am. I didn’t bang it and dont hink i have ever banged it as im very carefull with it. Only the porcelain broke off. The black metal is still on my tooth with the permenant dentist glue. I have a HC2 certificate. What is the difference between an NHS crown and a private crown? Shouldn’t the quality of a NHS crown be the same as a private crown? Am I entitled to request, under my entitlement to rights from NHS dental treatment received, that i would like the NHS crown to be the same quality as a private crown? Am I entitled to an all ceramic crown under my NHS HC2 certificate rather than a porcelain/metal bonded crown? It is for my main front left tooth. Looking forward to your advice. Many many thanks.

Can u please advice on crooked teeth cause the adjacent teeth to move and become loose?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
Q.
A couple of years ago i got braces on only my upper two front teeth. And now one tooth is moving a little bit. I think it may be one of my other teeth causing it to move, because my other teeth are still crooked. Also, sometimes when i press down on the tooth it moves. Not like its loose, just like underneath. Like its trying to click into place. This is the only tooth that I’m having a problem with. If you could help me that would be awesome.

Go back to your orthodontist t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Are dental implants a permanent alternatives for missing or removed teeth?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I was suffering from toothache a month or so ago – caused by an abscess, which in turn was caused by gum decease. Although I brush, floss and use mouthwash regularly; like many people: if it isn’t a problem, I don’t go to the dentist. And in my case, I hadn’t been to a dentist in over 20 years. I’ve been told that I’ll probably require a bridge… The thought of having to remove a false tooth for cleaning fills me with dread! If I have to have the tooth removed – and because it’s in a prominent place (lower front) are there any ‘permanent’ alternatives… ie. Fix and forget?

A.
Yes, a dental implant is a per… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
