Will my permanent crowns on my front teeth feel as big as my temp ones?
Monday, April 11th, 2011My teeth have drifted after having both braces and crowns fitted and the tooth under the crown has turned black, what are my options?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Q.
When i was younger I had my front tooth knocked out after a cap and a root canal I was eventually given a denture. When I was old enough to have braces I had braces to close the gap in the front and to use my second tooth (lateral incisor) as a front tooth and put a crown on it.
11 years later the crown has decreased in size, the tooth has drifted and it’s a totally different shape to my other tooth so now I have a big gap in the middle, it’s too big for 1 tooth alone but not big enough for 2 teeth. The prepared tooth under the crown has also gone blackish. what would you suggest would be the best option for me to get a nice gap free smile back!

Is it better to go to a cosmetic dentist to recieve treatment for crowns and do they work on finance?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Q.
Hi I had an accident in November and smashed the front 3 teeth out. I have been advised I require 6 crowns at £600 a tooth, my dentist has been excellent so far in helping me but is not cosmetic, would it be better to go to a cosmetic dentist for this work on finance or is there a way to get it done free on NHS? It’s really depressing me as my teeth were okay before and I just would like to sorted out now, as I have also been advised due to trauma and infections I should wait another 6 months to start the work. Thanks
My gumline is showing after a crown was placed just over a year ago, can I ask for replacement treatment?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Q.
Hello,
I had a crown fitted on a front tooth 10 years ago which was never that convincing, with a dark visible line on the gum line. The tooth underneath is dead and black (impact injury, nerve taken out), so the gum also looks slightly discoloured.
Last year i finally decided I wanted a more natural looking tooth so I went to have it replaced and was advised a porcelain crown. I went with this, the dentist was helpful and friendly and I left pretty happy with the results, although the join to the gum did look slightly hard, square and white.
But now a year later i’ve started to notice a faint, dark line appearing on the gum join, becoming increasingly visible over the past few weeks.
It seems like the gum is receding and the dark tooth becoming visible underneath, either that or the the top of the crown is wearing down (?)
Does anyone know where I stand regarding this? It seems like a lot of money to be spending for such temporary results, it’s not a million miles away from where it was before (although the rest of the tooth looks better), I cant help feeling it was a waste of money since i went in for purely cosmetic reasons.
Do i have any rights regarding replacement or compensation or is it just tough luck since the crown is still attached? I look after my teeth, so it’s not like they’re getting neglected.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks

My doctor has suggest two option to create my perfect smile, a brace or root canal surgery. Which is the better option?
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Q.
Hi
I have been having consultations with a dentits. He was going to fit several crowns and veneers with a bridge to create a perfect smile. However he has said today after taking molds that one of my teeth is too crooked and that really I need braces onit. I cant afford this and it would take years. He said the only alternative was to do a root canal kill off the tooth and put a porcelain veneer on top, he said there were risks and it was un ethical, but as I still seemed interested he would do it for me. To me any type of purely cosmetric dentistry is invasive and could be seen as unethical. Do you think it is ok to carry on with this? inorder to achieve what I set out to do or is it too much of a risk? Many thanks
I have a black line between my crown and my gum, what can I do to get it fixed?
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Q.
I have undergone maxilofacial surgery 28 years ago when I was 21, but I have found over the past few years my teeth have moved quite significantly. I also have a crown at the front which has been replaced twice, the last time about 16 years ago, but I have a black line between that and my gum, I have been told by my dentist that nothing can be done to improve the look of it and that it can’t be replaced again. I have been investigating Invisalign and wondered if that might be an appropriate option for me, or if anything can be done about my crown, please can you advise, thanks.
