One of my crowns has broken can it be replaced

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
I had two crowns (porcelain and metal) fitted 10 years ago to my front teeth. One broke recently. The dentist is unable to remove the posts from the gum in order to replace the crown. He did a composite on the broken tooth, but alas that has damaged my self esteem as it looks very unsightly. What is the best way to deal with something like this? I would like to replace the crown.

my porceline veneers have fallen off 10 times

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008
Q.
I had porceline veneers on ten upper teeth approx 3 years ago. This was to improve very badly discoloured and uneven teeth. Over the last 3 years the veneers have fallen off on ten separate occassions. My dentist blames the “bonding process”. This is really inconvenient. I would now like these veneers replaced with whiter ones but need some reassurance that they will stay in place. Can you offer any advice please?

A.
Hi, many thanks for your enqui… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I replaced a silver filling and now my tooth is sensitive

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008
Q.
I had a silver filling on a back tooth replaced with a white composite filling 3 months ago. I have had a lot of sensitivity in that tooth ever since. Sensitive to hot cold and sometimes bite. It doesn’t occur without stimulus and isn’t prolonged. However, it is enough that it bothers me and I dont want to feel it. I use sensodyne which does help, however my other teeth are not particularly sensitive. I have been back to my dentist twice, she has x-rayed it and says sensitivity is normal and not to worry. She also put another ‘layer’ of something on it. I have read a great deal about this subject and dont know what to do next?! change dentist, replace it with a silver filling or onlay? This filling has caused a lot of discomfort and never felt right from the start. Would appreciate your opinion. Thanks Q
