I smashed my front tooth would it be okay to have a crown now and do the implants later

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Q.
I have recently smashed my front tooth out and saw an NHS dentist as an emergency patient. The tooth has been cut back to just below the gum, and treated. I have been advised the tooth is now dead but what is left is still firmly in. The dentist advised getting a crown put on this for the next few years, during which the tooth will fall out naturally. I was told I will then need an implant and new crown. I was advised it is better to leave the tooth as is, without taking it out at this stage, and let it come out naturally over time. Then get the implant with new crown as and when this happens. Is this good advice, or would you recommend getting all the work done now? Its worth mentioning the tooth to the side of this has also been chipped, but not broken, so work will be done on this now. Many thanks for your help.

Friday, July 24th, 2009
Q.
Hello Please could you tell me how much it could cost me to have a full mouth makeover as I have some chops in my teeth on the bottom row.

My tooth kind of cracked and now there are tiny holes in my front teeth help me please?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
Well this is just embarrassing.. okay so a couple years ago i got hit in the face and my tooth kind of cracked. but it wasn’t as bad so i never bothered to get it fixed. it was tiny. barely noticeable. then throughout the years i’ve been going through some hardships. my parents divorced. my father died. i was pressured into a life of drugs. which ruined my teeth even more. stupidly, i smoked pills. literally. and did it for about a year. i smoked ciggarettes and marijuana for a couple years straight. i stopped long ago. but now my front two teeth are cracked down the middle and really black. and decayed and it is moving because now there are tiny holes forming in my other front teeth slowly, day by day. i have no insurance and i am a full time student paying for my own classes. i suffer severe tooth pains everyday. i cant sleep or eat. this has been going on for about two years now. help me please?

I am very unhappy with the look with my crown and ive receding gums can you advice

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
When i was young i fell in school banged my front teeth, one came out and put back in which was fine but the other front tooth next to it discoloured,it hasd a root canal done. After years of treatment at london Hospital tooth was fine, but when i went to my regular dentist when 18 he suggested to cap it, and did. I knew nothing of the treatment, it was done, but i am extremely unhappy with the look, especially with receding gums and the metal showing. I have been looking at other options which i was made unaware of veener rather than capping or bleeching the tooth, now am scared i will lose my tooth and am losing sleep over it, and it is really depressing me. I hate this capping and re-capping process and am unsure it he has put in a post before capping it, i doubt he has. i just want comfortable good looking front teeth that will last rather than look horrible with gums receding or other complications, am only 24 yet, it is quite disheartening.
