I am contemplating having all teeth changed to crowns?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
Q.
As a child I could never smile due to goofy teeth. I had an old fashioned tooth brace. At 16yrs I had crowns to the twisted teeth. My dentists say that I have a high roof mouth and the two front teeth are more forward than the back. I have even teeth in the mouth but will always have a goofy look. I am contemplating having all teeth changed to crowns? but don’t think this will help with the smile. Can you help?.

Yes but I need to take look to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have Trigeminal Neurology. pain developed after crown was replaced do i need to see another dentist?

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
I had a 30+ year gold crown replaced 3 years ago and have had pain ever since. The dentist referred me to a Neurologist that I have been seeing for MS and it was determined that I have Trigeminal Neurology and have been prescribed medicines to control the pain in the cheek, gums, lips, etc. But I still have pain around the crown, cannot get juice, fruit, etc near it. If I bite something on the crown it feels like something is under it and feels like I am biting on tin foil. I have been back to my dentist many times and am always told the crown is fine and to just keep taking my medicine. Is it time to see a new dentist for another opinion? I have a problem of insurance and who I can see. Thank you.

Daughter’s veneer crown fell off

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
My daughter had 22K worth of dental work done in Dallas 5 years ago. Her porcelain veneer crown just to the side of her front teeth just fell out. Is this normal? Is her dentist obligated to fix it after this much time? She now lives in Boston. Even sharing the bill among three people was still enormous; we’d expect it to last. Are we expecting too much?

Discomfort after crown fitting and back teeth sensitive

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi! ive just undergone 3 months of dental treatment to replace all of my old amalgam fillings with “white” ones. one tooth was v bad and i had root canal treatment and now have a lovely new crown. I had the permanent crown fitted 4 days ago (2 teeth back from the upper right canine) but i still feel a little discomfort when i put pressure on it around the gum. Will it settle down? also, ive noticed my back teeth especially the lower ones are sensitive to cold drinks. ive been using a gel at night for over a week but i dont see any difference. im afraid of more root canal treatment….what do u think? is it perhaps caused by the chemicals in the composite fillings that need time to settle? thanking you in advance.

These fillings often take a wh… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
