About 20 years ago I had the front 4 teeth capped on my top row. At the time of treatment I got an infection which shifted from tooth to tooth eventually leading to the dentist having to drill a hole in the back of the tooth to release the pressure/pain. Eventually it settled down but it has left a lump on my gum and the tooth below has shifted down making it look unsightly and the tooth is loose. The caps are also thick looking and they look like horses teeth making it unbearable for me to smile. I visited a cosmetic dentist about a year ago to see if I can put this right as it has destroyed my confidence and he quoted me £7,500 which would include xrays. I can’t afford this amount. Can you give me any advice? Thanks.

Would it be possible for me to get a crown on my front tooth, which broke when I was nine?
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010 Hello, dr. Moore!
I have a really important question to ask you. When I was about 9 years old, I broke my front teeth, the dentists were trying to puts some plombs on or something like that. I walked like that for 6 years, now when I am almost 16, the plomb fell out for 3rd time, the question is – in my age (15) is it even possible to put a dental crown on, or if it’s not, what age would be appropriate to put the crown on?
Thank you,.
Would it be possible to place veneers over crowns as I really dislike them?
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010Can you put veneers over crowns? I really dislike my crowns which don’t go up to the gum Hence there is unsightly black lines above the crown. Do I have to replace the crown? I understand there is a danger of breaking the original tooth if they do this.
My tooth cracked and had to be extracted after root canal treatment. Can a crown be fitted?
Monday, November 29th, 2010I have had RCT on UL6 and was left for 6 months until any other treatment (check up) Just a week before my appointment, this tooth fractured and resulted in being extracted. Would the length of time this tooth was left, in a brittle state, be the reason this fractured? I had finished antibiotics 2 weeks prior to RCT so would infection be reduced? Would a temp crown be fitted in all RCT cases? Thankyou

Monday, November 29th, 2010Hi im a 30 year old female who has never had confidence when it comes to smiling as i have terrible overlapping teeth on either side next to my two top front ones, i had never got the opportunity with numerous problems as a child to get a brace, whats my options?
What are the possible treatments to close gaps in my front teeth and how much would that cost?
Friday, November 26th, 2010 Hello, I have a gap in my two top front teeth, the rest of my teeth are in line and healthy, as I have had braces before. But after the braces came out they put in a permanent wire behind the two top teeth to stop the gap re appearing, but it still came back. So i was wondering would there be a cosmetic solution that would just make that disappear? like make it look like its just my teeth?
thank you for any advice you could give me, also if you could say how much something like that might cost?
Is it normal to have had a crown break twice in three years and would any warranty exist?
Friday, November 26th, 2010I had a crown fitted in July 2007 and the post has snapped. This is the second time this has happened to me. Am I unlucky or is this a common occurrence? Also do these crowns come with any guarantee because I’m now facing a bill of £2500+ for an implant.
