I had a crown on my front tooth break off yesterday. Unfortunately, it broke the part of the tooth that was inside the crown so there is nothing to anchor the crown to. Dentist told me i have to have a bridge, which is OK, but I don’t understand why the root of the boken tooth has to be taken out. Why, as part of the bridge process, can’t the replacement tooth be glued to the root (like my temporary tooth currently is).
Dear Dr. Hughes,
I will be replacing my upper incisors and premolars with crowns and veneer on the canines. However, I have a cast post core on a lateral incisors. Should I go with procera crowns for all the incisors for unity. Or three empress and one procera. My dentist told me that empress will not block out the color from the metal core. I really like the translucent and natural appearance from the Empress crowns. Is there other zirconia copping crown with stacking that can have the same translucency? Thank you.
Hello, how are you?
I hope if you can answer my question that is What is the diffrent between the anatomical crown and chemical crown?
….thank you.
Can a crown and a veneer be matched on the upper 2 front teeth? i.e. I know the thickness and coverage is different, so can one expect them to match in most lighting conditions? Or do you need to get 2 crowns even though 1 doesn’t really need it?
Thanks,

Hi! One of my front teeth is a crown which is 12 years old. I have noticed recently that it’s beginning to look slightly different to the natural tooth. I mentioned this to my dentist and he said that it’s my own teeth that have darkened over time with age (I am 53). He suggested whitening my front 6 teeth with the bleaching gel. I used as he instructed bleaching 5 of the teeth leaving out bleaching of the crown. However after 6 days I noticed that my 5 natural teeth had whitened really well but unfortunatedly have now made the crown look yellower than it was before. I have paid £99 for this treatment and think that the only way to get the crown to match my natural tooth is to get the crown replaced. Also do you think I Will loose my £99 seeing that it has been unsucessful?
hi, i had root canal on my top front tooth when i was 15, now i am 40 and the tooth is very dark, what would be the best treatment for this, do you think i could have nhs treatment because i am very self concious about this, many thanks
My tooth was broke at the front,i have had a tempory 1 that I like”t very much that changed coulour so i got it replaced. The problem is I had the new tooth fitted with temp bond and fell out and got lost, I dont mind that much cause I did,nt like the shape of the tooth.The way I want it is to made oversize and you take some of the surface until I am happy with the feel. Can you do this?
I HAVE 2 CROWNS AND I WANT TO HAVE 2 IMPLANTS HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE WITH TEETH IMPLANTS.
After 6 years I dislodged one of my front caps chewing–I want to have it reglued however my dentist has retired and no longer lives here at the end of the world–other dentist say come in we’ll x-ray, etc. I just want my tooth reglued. How long does the glue last? Can I use superglue on it? I want it done now.
